Well I ordered two lightning cables and the delivery date was scheduled for Sept 27. I checked tracking this morning and it says the cables are out for delivery today (24th).

My iphone (purchased through Apple at 4:05 am EST) was scheduled for delivery on Oct 2nd, then when my card was charged it changed to Oct 5. Now this morning I received an email saying it has shipped (from China) and delivery will be Oct 1st.

I'm hoping (that like the cables), it will deliver sooner than the 1st.
 
Me too -- guess we're on the same airplane.

My phone when from China to Korea? I've never had an apple product ship through Korea before anyone else?

I ordered a white 32 gig iPhone 5 on Fri Sept 14th @ 3:53am threw Apple.com & I got a delivery date of Oct 5th

Woke up the next morning @ 9:53 & ordered a 16 gig black iPhone 5 threw AT&T.com & I received this phone on launch day (Fri the 21st) I figured the difference in shipping was due to the different order methods & color/size phones why I received the one I ordered 2nd 1st.

Late Thurs night (the 20'th) my white iPhone's status changed to "preparing to ship". It was shipped on Fri the 21st & was home in the USA by the 23rd (Sun). Under normal circumstances this package would have been shipped to NYC on Sunday & out for delivery today, but it's still stuck in Louisville, KY. *Shrugs* :confused:

Mine flew from Hong Kong to Louisville yesterday and has now departed ATL.

UPS Worldwide Express says delivery is within two business days from Asia, so it should be here tomorrow, which would be two days early. :cool:

Mine shipped yesterday and I've received no updates today. I'm a bit annoyed, I hope it's just the system delaying.

We are in the same boat buddy. If you have the "UPS Worldwide Expedited" shipping like me, I doubt either of us get it until Friday. :(
 
Mine left Jamaica, NY this morning at 1:00 am by UPS and haven't had any updates since. I live near Pittsburgh, PA. Anyone else that has one that left Jamaica at 1:00 am have any updates yet? I have no ETA on the UPS web site. Does anyone also know where it gets shipped from there?

Looks like both of ours are on the same flight. I too don't have an estimated delivery date, and mine is going to California from JFK.

Does anyone have any experience in the Baltimore area? Do the shipments come via plane or truck from Louisville, KY to Laurel, MD?

Still no updates on mine and it's been nearly 36 hours since it arrived in Zhengzhou! It arrived there the night before last, and now it's nearly noon there right now on a Tuesday! This is getting ridiculous, I really hope this is just a delay in the UPS system because I don't know why our iPhones would just be sitting there :mad:

I wish mine was coming FedEx...
 
sorry if this has been covered earlier in this thread...

Will UPS eventually provide an expected delivery date? Mine has reached KY (by way of China, Korea, and Alaska), but still no expected delivery date. I'm trying to figure out which day to work from home!

I got an email from UPS this morning notifying me that my phone will be delivered on Wednesday, September 26th. Here's the path my phone has taken so far (I'm in San Diego):

Mine shipped.

Ordered Friday, September 14th @ 9 AM PST.

Original estimate was October 9th, so getting it a couple of days early - Expected delivery is now October 4th.

hi, first post.

I ordered 6AM ET on the 14th and got a delivery date of Oct. 5.

Here's my UPS update:

Looks like from what I've read on this board I'll have it sooner than October 5, at any rate, yes? I'm in PA.

I was hoping for THIS Friday, the 28th, but that seems to be a little too hopeful.

Anyway, hi. Can't wait for my black/slate 32 gig. Upgrading from the 4.
