Several people on here posted canceling and having their upgrade status fixed literally within 5-10 minutes with AT&T. Of course this may not happen all the time.
Got a tip for us?

YES! Finally some progress. I still feel like we Oct 5'ers got the shaft but it's nice to have something happening at last.
I got my confirmation email at 4:01am EST (woke up at 3:20 and tried to purchase but site was down and I forgot I could use the app...). Been stalking these threads and as soon as I saw this I ran over to BoA and saw that my card is also pending a charge from Apple.
Still processing though.
I'm still showing "processing" with an October 5th delivery date. Ordered the white 32gb AT&T at 5:40am EST. Also, still no charge on the card.
I was thinking about stopping into an AT&T/Walmart/Target during lunch or on my way home but with my luck I'll get the "preparing for shipping" the same time the guy at the store says he has some in stock
Same here.. I was planning on going to an AT&T in the morning and I'm on a waiting list at two radio shacks..
I'm fine waiting until next week but please before oct 5th
Dang, I should have canceled and ordered on AT&T...
It had stock to deliver by 9/21 even by 9AM EST
1:02 a.m. pacific.... online order said delivers 21st but when order completed it changed to: ships in 2 weeks...
order still showing processing/delivers 5 oct
64GB black at&t (ordered via apple)
(p.s. this is my 2nd order.... the first one is being delivered tomorrow)

Ordered around 8:45AM PST on 9/14. iPhone 5 64GB Black & Slate ATT model. Still "Processing Items" and Oct5 delivery.
When I talked to some lady from AT&T about canceling my order and buying in store, but she told me that since I already agreed to the "terms and conditions" of the new contract that I was stuck with my order. Doesn't really make any sense to me, if I canceled the purchase I shouldn't be forced into the contract and lack of subsidized renewal. Then again, I still have the unlimited data plan and thus don't feel like playing with it too much.
It would be awesome if I could get it tomorrow though, but I'm actually pretty satisfied with my jailbroken iPhone 4 and don't mind waiting that much.

To get a better sense of where everyone is here's a poll if anyone wants to participate.

Combinations of "card charged/not charged with processing/preparing" would give us a better idea of where we all stand.
Revised poll due to a request. Hope this gets us a better idea.
Choose two (Order Status + Credit Card Status)

Ordered a black AT&T 16GB from the Apple Store on 9/14 at exactly 8:45AM, the order has been in processing since the 14th, with a delivery date of October 2. Checked my status about an hour ago and it now says "preparing for shipping", and my card has been charged for the amount reflected on Apple's website. Still with a delivery date of October 2 though. We shall see! No tracking info available yet on UPS or Fed EX though.
Ordered around noon eastern on 9/14 (had 04:10 order but cancelled it)
32GB black AT&T
Card charged
Preparing for shipment
Woot!

I was wondering that too. Heh...

Darn all your AT&T orders that are now preparing. Can only hope throughout the night they start preparing to ship some Verizon orders.
Can only hope throughout the night they start preparing to ship some Verizon orders.When I called my local verizon store he said it would be better to stay with my pre order and it would come sometime next week.
Yes! Thought that for a minute too but there's no way they're going to be 'preparing for shipment' for 10 days and unable to be cancelled for all that time. I'm certain they'll ship soon.
