iPhone 5 Available to ship:2 weeks / Delivers Oct 5

[Tadros]

Talk about "First World Problems".

Here I am, watching a little airplane icon crawling across my computer screen waiting for a little box I've never seen before (but it's "mine") to land in Alaska, then eventually Louisville KY where I will wring my hands waiting for the little box to clear customs so I can get an actual delivery date. On said delivery date I will pace the floors, peeking out the window for a brown truck to pull up in front of my house and hand me the little box. Inside the box is a phone... Mind you, I already have a phone and I don't actually "need" a phone at all.

I think I must be losing it.

I feel the same way. I actually went to the AT&T store over the weekend and tried out the iPhone 5 and was like, maybe I should have waited another generation or two to upgrade. I don't see a HUGE difference from the iPhone 4 in daily operations. Obviously for photos/video/navi it will be a huge plus.

It's weird that the shipment after ours showed up in Korea but mine still says the following:

LOUISVILLE, KY US Sep 25, 2012 4:11 PM IN TRANSIT TO

ZHENGZHOU, CN Sep 24, 2012 8:22 AM ORIGIN SCAN

I just got my UPS status updated again. [I hope you all are receiving the same!].

Delivery now on 9/26! Early delivery, whatever that means. (I live north of Los Angeles)

So in summary: 10/5 to 9/28 to 9/27 to 9/26!

Heck, I'll take it.

Same here. UPS *just* updated to early delivery tomorrow/Wed!

I really just want the iPhone 5 so Song Pop loads quickly. It's dogging it on my 4.

Yea, we must be on the same plane together. Though, I don't have the Louisville, KY update from UPS yet. I thought the phones had to go to Alaska first? Sigh, I just want it to arrive on Friday.

Original ship date by Oct 5
Shipping email from Apple stated to be delivered 9/27
Phone came today 9/25

The UPS tracking has been very lacking throughout the entire shipping process, getting updates once a day in the mornings and nothing else.

I hope everyone else gets their phone soon!

What time did you order?

 

[KTK1990]

Mine left S. Korea at 11:59 pm local time. But it doesnt have a delivery date yet.

Edit: Live chat says Monday the 1st.

 

[Mohdslh]

Mine arrived to Korea at 8:30PM, but I don't have any update about it leaving. Do you think they just missed a scan, or did they maybe break the shipment to smaller parts that early? Is there anyone else with arriving status, but not departing? My phone is going to Canada.

I'm in the same situation. Mine going to Canada too.
Called UPS they transfered me to a specialist (don't know what that means) and he said he has no idea when my package is getting here

 

[protobiont]

Mine just arrived!

No nicks or scratches that I can see. No dead pixels. No light leak. Activation took only seconds. So far I am quite impressed!

For those of you waiting still, it won't be much longer!

 

[Razorhog]

My tracking got updated to "rescheduled early delivery", should be here Wednesday instead of Thursday! Nice!

Well my Apple shipping confirmation said 2/10 and UPS was showing 9/28 during the weekend. But it's not anymore. Hopefully Friday it is!

[aimb]

weird i have a delivery date, but my last tracking activity is "ZhengZhou, China 09/23/2012 7:35 P.M. Arrival Scan "

I'm not even joking my emails are a hot mess, mine has the SAME status, however online I have an EDD of 9/27 EOD but I got an email from MyUPS that says tomorrow by 1030. I have no clue which to believe, I'm just hoping for sooner then later.

 

[FzNk]

Wow, really? I ordered mine at 3:40 a.m. EDT on the 14th, it's been in Louisville since 12:41 a.m. and now it still won't deliver for two more days?

It hasn't cleared Customs yet and the flight from Louisville to Pittsburgh is early morning so it won't get there until tomorrow. Then it has to travel from there to State College's hub and be processed there which may make it too late to get on a truck that day.

?????? Lol

Same thing happened for mine but it made it all the way to Honolulu, HI today 9/25/12 and is already out for delivery. I'm wondering if that Hapeville scan was an error or something?

 

[Keyhole]

Ditto 64gb/blk via apple.com.

UPS now shows 9.27 as delivery date. Apple's email said 9.28. Destination = Raleigh/Durham area, NC.

Mine just switched to:

Scheduled For Early Delivery On:
Wednesday, 09/26/2012, By End of Day

 

[Marco123]

I just pre-ordered a 32GB Black ip5 on the apple store UK.
They are stating 3-4 weeks delivery yet I am hearing of people going into stores and swapping their models 3-4 times because of the damage to new units. I then hear than stores are full of contract only phones.
Who the **** is in charge of apple retail?

 

[Roxanne1007]

agreed w/ the apple statement. I wish i'd at least have some special consideration after buying the 64gb model...

Kind of like buying the top of the line car but i have to pay the extra $120 for the floor mats.

agreed! #

Like a few others, my status always seems to be kind of stuck or a step behind. Mine is still apparently in Korea and UPS still says end of day Thursday. One thing I can't figure out is - I signed up for My Choice on UPS site this morning but whenever I click the change delivery button, I always get the little pop-up ad touting the things a receiver and sender can do with My Choice. I have yet to figure out how to actually use it and I'm just curious/thinking about changing delivery to a UPS store. But can't figure out how to do it.

 

[laurenbuffet]

Just got an email from UPS My Choice Delivery Alerts: This notice alerts you that the shipment listed below is scheduled for delivery tomorrow.

Scheduled Delivery Date: Wednesday, 09/26/2012

 

[njgeek]

Really annoyed at UPS right now. My Choice turned out to be a disaster, causing an extra day of delays. One of my items shows that it has been "In Transit" from Newark to god knows where since 9PM yesterday. I live 20 minutes from Newark...that's some crazy traffic.

Don't necessarily get too excited... I got a similar email however the web tracking still says 9/27. Does web tracking reflect your updated delivery date?

No, but I hope for the best.

Also, tracking isn't real time but I'm assuming UPS My Choice Premium is (especially for the $40.00 I paid)

 

[redcupr]

I got the update that mine would be delivered on Thursday 9/27, no one will be home on that day so I used UPS MyChoice and had them hold it so I can pick it up. Said I could pick it up on Friday 9/28.

Now everybody's getting bumped up to 9/26 for delivery...guess I should have waited. Well maybe I can pick it up at UPS on Thursday.

This will be my first new iPhone since getting my 3G on Launch day in 2008.
