I ordered launch day about 15 minutes after preorders started. It would have been sooner, but I wasted time trying to get the Apple Store app to come online.

I ordered my iPhone X 256GB Space Gray T-mobile on apple.com on October 27th. People who got the date 17-24 are all getting shipped now... But mine isn't.... I am leaving the states on 17th, so I hope I get it earlier. my order number starts with W577. Is there anyone like me who got the date 17-24 on October 27th and still is in order in progress?

I had placed two orders within a few minutes of each other. One (2:19AM) says "Preparing to Ship" and the other (2:22AM) still says "Order in Progress". Date range for both hasn't changed. Range is till 11/17 - 11/24.

Was it the order placed first that is preparing to ship?
 
Well it's 5AM in China right now, maybe someone will come to work at the customs desk and put our phones on a freakin plane already....
 
My order just got updated to Preparing to Ship too!! YAAAASSS! Hopefully, it ships soon. My new iPhone X case is sitting at home alone waiting... :)

How many days usually are between Preparing to Ship and Shipped?

3:22 Eastern confirmation time
11/17-24, W414, OIP, PIF ATT 256 GB silver on Apple.com when it finally went live at 3:18 for me. (18 & 22 mins into pre order)

Arrrggghhh... still no change whatsoever here. W44, OIP, 11/17-24, IUP, SG256, ATT.

All these abbreviations only readers of this thread would understand lol.
very true on the abbreviations and very funny lol

Still absolutely nothing since Oct 27th 2:22am CST for me. Ive given myself patience until Thursday. If I have no movement I'm cancelling and going with an 8+. I have been torn between the 2 from the start anyway and Apple is making this decision easier for me pretty quick. I've needed a new phone bad since I got my 6s+ wet. Its really a shame, I wanted to at least try the X. I thought being ready at 2am CST would have been enough. But not opening the store for me until 20 minutes after didn't help my cause. Ive been an Apple customer for a decade now. This is the first time I am truly disappointed in them. All stores around me never had stock launch day and still do not. I am also 150 miles away from an Apple store.

Like I said. Thursday, if not by then I'll order a 8+ and get it Friday. It is what it is. Ill still be happy with my choice.
with the exception of giving in and getting an 8+ I’m in the same boat. Loyal to Apple 12+ years now never been disappointed. The Apple store being down until 3:18 Eastern certainly screwed me out of a launch day delivery. Was up at 2:40 am and the store had been down since around 9 pm night prior I had noticed.

If it helps, Apple sent me my email confirm that it received and would start processing my order 10/27 at 12:16 AM. I ordered my phone around 12:11 AM.

apple.com, W552, PFS, 11/17-24, ATT Next, Silver 256.

I didn't get an email from Apple telling me that my order was now being prepared for shipment, but when everyone on the previous page starting posting about it, I went to check and saw that the status was updated.

Hope everyone gets the same change soon.

Nov 17th - 24th still showing but it has changed to "preparing to ship".

Purchased through AT&T next, 256g Space Gray.

Anyone have a rough time frame for how long it will take to ship?

Since it was asked...

I received confirmation email at 00:14 PST
 
I have November 17th-24th originally.

Order # W597, Verizon 64GB Silver, IUP, ordered when the app store became available shortly after 1AM my time. Shipped 11-2, Delivered yesterday.

Order #W505, Verizon 64GB Silver, IPU, ordered immidiatly after, shipped 11-3, estimated arrival Thursday (currently stuck in Louisville, KY). Hopefully no further delays! Crazy how much difference 1 day in shipping can make on the receiving end.
 
My card was charged Sunday night to Monday. It’s now 3:45pm Tuesday and I still have seen no progress. I finished my pre order at 12:15pm and I ordered a 256 Silver Att Next. Really irritated because all my friends ordered at the same time as me with a delivery date of 11/17-11/24 like me, but they all get their phones by the end of the week while I’m still stuck on Order in Progress. They are on iPhone upgrade program though, so I’m sensing some in house favoritism on how it was purchased.

I've seen no movement on my order W42 which was 8 minutes after Store opened. Space Gray 256GB, Not with any carrier because it's Australia.

Just sitting there with delivery for 14-21st Nov.

No stores even have them in stock according to Apple, and even if they did it's a very long drive anyway.
Seeing lots of people get theirs off carriers and orders bumped, and I'm just sitting around refreshing wait for it to change from Order in Progress :(

Beats me... Especially interesting that the Apple shipping email indicates an 11/15 estimated delivery where UPS shows 11/10... Will just be happy to get it before I fly out for 12 days starting the 17th! Was worried that my 12 days would mean the phone would go back to Apple as I could not pick it up, and don't have anyone that could receive it....
You'll get it on the 10th. UPS has a much better idea than apple at this point...

So I cancelled the order and got one in an Apple Store just now! I know this doesn’t help those in Pre Order hell, but I’m glad to be using it now. Pretty cool phone thus far! Feels like a natural step in the evolution of all things that begin with “i”
