I ordered 10-01-12 at an AT&T store and was told 14-21 business days to ship. Tomorrow marks day 1 of my shipping window. October 19th-30th.
 
Apple.com order

Ordered Oct 7th. with a ship date of Nov. 7-14th. Hope it comes in soon. My Thunderbolt crackles music playback and the battery is shot. I need my new phone :)
 
Haha you guys have a loooong wait.

I ordered one on the 28 of sept with a delivery of 26 oct to 2 nov and its looking like it will be the later date.
 
i ordered on the 4th. expected delivery is between 30th oct to 5th nov. Its still processing. it was ordered at the singpore apple online store. Any updates in any of ur order status? btw i ordered the 16 gig black.
 
I ordered from apple.com on Oct 4
64GB black
Says delivers No 5-9
still nothing new. No charge yet either.
 
I ordered October 3rd. 16 gig black from AT&T premier. Shipping said 14-21 days and today would be the first day of my shipping window. Nothing yet.
 
Is this normal, or is it that we are probably the unlucky souls facing problem which we arent aware of? when i purchased the iphone 4, i went through a lot of trouble in the order. after 2 weeks of saying processing it suddenly showed a red exclamation mark on the order and said please contact apple to continue with ur order. and it turned out the bank declined the payment. I m guessing its mainly cause they didnt see any activity going on with the amount previously blocked by apple ( thats how apple's payment system works, they just get a pre-authentication from the bank n freeze the require funds from ur account and charge u once the product ships out ). I have this bad feeling that its gonna happen all over again for the 5! :(
 
Ordered October 6th from apple.com
16g white
Available to ship: 3 - 4 Weeks
Delivers Nov 7 - Nov 14 via Standard Shipping



the wait has been killing me.
 
As posted in the Shipped thread, I ordered on Monday October 8 Australian Time, delivery Window is Nov 2-8, White 64GB. It changed to "Preparing for Shipment" today, so hoping it ships in the next 24 hours! From what I can see that's almost a record, so maybe things are improving, though delivery times are still 3-4 weeks on the Apple Online store.
 
Black/slate 16gb from Apple.com on Oct 7th. Delivery date Nov 7-14. No movement on the site or CC yet. hoping it will be soon.
 
Yay! Mine just went to "Preparing for shipment" today! Totally unexpected :) Ordered on Apple.ca on Oct/4.
 
Order a 16gb black from AT&T on the phone Oct.15 shipping date estimate 14-21 days. Nov 2-13 is when I should have my phone but something tells me it will be longer after seeing all the people on here with extremely long wait times.
 
ordered 64GB black from Apple.com on Oct 4 =. Got charged and status change to preparing for shipment in the last hour. Now, how long to receive? Still shows Nov 5-9 for me.
