Sheesh y’all still going on about this. All any of us have to do is just sit and wait and see. Hopefully we do get bumped up. If y’all would stop calling Apple maybe they can work on bumping our ship dates up .
Got a tip for us?

Says the guy getting one on the 3rd.
The people who answer the phones have nothing to do with the actual work involved in bumping ship dates up. So the calls aren’t distracting them from doing their jobs. That having been said, I’m not among those who called Apple. I’m just waiting to see what happens.
After watching all the reviews on the phone so far, I think this is all hype and nothing more. yea it's a new iphone, and yes there is a great deal of us that will have to wait 2,3,4,5 weeks to get one delivered. Does anyone think that apple cares? believe me they don't care when any of us get our phone, nor can an agent adjust the date of the delivery.
It's 2017, 10 years later and supplies are still limited for screens, chips, etc etc, that's the real nuts and bolts of this. They are blaming high demand and not enough phones to go around on this..come on? The price tag for my phone came to over $1,400 for the 256gb version with the iphone upgrade program that includes apple care...you're telling me the world was up ordering this phone at 3am and it sold out in 5 min for a phone of this price, which honestly speaking I've seen tons of posts from people actually paying outright for this phone within minutes and still having to wait weeks?
It's all hoopla guys, Apple is doing this to make it seem that it's ok to pay this much for a phone and the majority is us who are waiting a few days, or weeks after the launch to really see what our fate is as to when we will receive an iphone x. I truly believe they have plenty of stock, but are doing this to really drive up the I want it factor for this phone.
ok rant over....I'm still in the Nov 17th - 24 boat...lol

Lol my husband and I both sat side-by-side on our respective iMacs to preorder and our orders went through at about 3:10EST. My order took longer because Apple Pay on Safari wasn't going through, so I had to manually input my CC info of which bumped me to Nov. 17-24th. He, on the other hand used Firefox and is receiving it Nov. 3rd. I was very bummed to say the least, but he said I should take his phone instead when we receive it on Friday because he knows it means a lot more to me than it does to him and he said he'll just wait for my order 
Yeah... 12 hours of waiting isn't that long. I convinced my girlfriend to wait with me as well. I'll bring my Nintendo Switch and lawn chairs.

If my boyfriend said this to me, I would propose right then and there. That's love. But unfortunately mine is anti-apple. Cringe.
I'm in Minnesota now, and it's gonna be cold too. Nothing a few jackets, blankets, and gloves cant fixThat would be nice but snow is in the forecast and super cold!
I am hearing that the Apple stores will get crazy too in other threads/sites with people camping out. I live in an area where the nearest apple store is about 45 minutes away in 3 different directions, but there is a best buy right down the street from my house I just moved into. I wonder if the Best Buys will get as crazy as it seems the apple stores will. There is a midnight release that night of COD planned, so will Best Buy release the iphones at the same time or will they wait until store opens later that morning?

I’m sure he goes to the restroom very angry!!
This is textbook what I am NOT trying to condone. I"m sorry but you even say its your sob story...it's clear you are trying to guilt them into telling you the actual delivery time vs. their conservative ETA.
I am not hoping any bump but any try to get it done is worthwhile.
Am 17-24 but will be leaving for our Thanksgiving vacation on the 17th, and not returning until the 29th... Not sure how to handle that, will try giving Apple a call in a few days to see what they recommend. Ideally they will bump us up a day or two, don't really care about 'launch day' (have done that, don't sweat it any more), just trying to understand how to get the phone when I am not home. Perhaps I can route it to the first hotel, but will only be there for 4 nights, so it gets complicated.....
I'm in the exact same situation as you and tried asking yesterday for a day or two bump. They said unfortunately there is nothing that can be done since the phones are already using "the fastest shipping option available".
They'd be more likely to push your delivery back so you get your phone afterwords.
Yup just watch for it to ship, then if it ships while you aren't at home, have it held at a UPS center until you're back for pickup.
Just got off the phone with a senior advisor regaurding the shipment status of my phone(They were spouse to follow up days ago) and I asked about the error that (Most of us) had regarding the issue.. he explain that there would be plenty of phone getting shipped along with the pre-orders that we should be seeing a update in dates in the forth coming with some that could still get "moved" as early as Friday-Sat shipping... I then asked about Sat Shipping and he said it would be approved according to dates received(I'm guessing he is talking about when the order was placed).. He also said not to worry that we should see the phones before the 17th as they just plotted windows based of the volume not so much the window.. He did say that calling will do nothing about getting yours in sooner or a spot and that its all based on volume no one has a "Advancement" everyone is getting treated the same.. They understand there was a big issue with the servers but there is legitimately nothing he can do to make the process faster.. It was a win-lose situation.. He offered me a Wireless charger though because of the issue's that occurred ..

Good stuff! Will continue to hope for an expedited date then! If not getting bumped to next week would make me a lot happier too
Good luck to everyone!
