I ordered today, 9/28
Just ordered a 64GB white Verizon one, from the Apple store. Tried the "10 pm reserve" thing all week and there don't seem to be any phones at Apple stores in Virginia.
The estimate I was given was, Delivers Oct. 30 - Nov. 5, but I'm hoping it will be sooner. But at least it will come to me - I won't be chasing down Apple Store/Verizon store/Best Buy.

Just got mine too, very easy to setup...took like 2-3 minutes top. You'll just have to setup your contacts and whatever else.
If I could ask for anyone who used an upgrade other than their own to get their iPhone 5, did you have to go to an AT&T store to get a new nano-sim, or was it handled over the phone? Thanks for anyone who can answer! Still out for delivery on mine BTW.
The wait is OVER!
After my package was stuck in KY 9/26 with no import scan for close to 36hrs.. It finally made it to the local UPS & was on the truck for delivery this morning. It delivered shortly ago as originally quoted by apple on 9/28, I tend to believe UPS was the cause for most of the mix up & delays, they moved up my delivery date and ultimately had to push the delivery date back, not too mention tracking updates were down temporarily while my phone sat in KY.. All is well tho I got my i5
, I hope those of you who haven't received ur phones will have them shortly.
Good Luck

Looks like we are on the same flights!! Almost been in Alaska 24 hours now! Driving me crazy!!! I don't understand why they aren't doing Saturday deliveries!!
The problem here is I'm not sure what flight leaves ANC to SDF today. In looking at FlightStats.com, there are two flights leaving this afternoon at 2:47 and 3:26.
5X 109 UPS 2:47 PM 2:47 PM ~ 12:41 AM 12:41 AM
5X 51 UPS 3:26 PM 3:26 PM ~ 1:11 AM 1:11 AM
I just hope its one of them. And yes, they should gave gave us the option for Saturday delivery, even if we had to pay for it, I sure would have done it.
Well, worst case scenario gives us a Monday delivery if the phones go out on one of the afternoon flights. Just relax this weekend I guess!

Well we are leaving for Disney world this Sunday for the whole week! So, I'm pissed they aren't doing Saturday deliveries! Not only will it be a whole other wk til I get it, I won't get to enjoy it on our trip!!
Sorry to hear that! I would be bummed too. Will someone at least be able to get your iphone for you while you're out?
----------
On the bright side, if UPS screws up and takes another week to get our phones from ANC to destination, it doesn't matter to you either way!
where are all the Canadian folks? no news/update from them... after departure from Mount Hope.
Well, knowing it left at 9:27 AM, it won't be here until 4-5PM.
They do drive like madmen, though, so who knows.

reading on other forums/sites, it looks like that from Mount hope, its usually on a truck to Toronto areas. Might be the case for Montreal too. I dont see them bringing a ups plane here but who know. Either way its not happening today given the fact that import/customs hasnt been cleared yet.
Mine would be going to Concord (for Markham delivery) which is 1.5 or so hours away and there is no information about an arrival scan after the Mount Hope 9:27am departure scan so it is either going my pack mule or they are in no hurray. As an FYI, I STILL don't have a scheduled delivery date on the UPS site.

True, I am fine with it coming Monday I suppose, but, if it doesn't come Monday, I will be calling and yelling at someone
You got Import Scan already? Mine's done "Unload Scan" in BC. It needs to clear Customs yet, then hop on a plane to Regina.
Maybe delivery on Monday, if they can clear it and ship it over the weekend. It needs to be at the truck about 5am Monday morning, to make it onto my rural delivery truck.
