This might be my worst Apple shipping experience.
The iPad3 was bad, but this is just stupid.

Thank god I did not order one through a carrier, because those people are really screwed. They hae a Nano SIM, no matching phone to use it in and they are already paying for a contract.

Total BS. No status change for a week. I'm guessing I'm also pushed to November.

(My iPad3 was also horrible, because they reserved the amount on my CC three times, delivering only one. So 2700 Euro was screwing up my limit)
 
amazing that i ordered my phone from my carrier today and will come tuesday. didn't expect it that early.
 
Ordered mine on the 17th. Finally saw the "Preparing for Shipment" on my order page at about noon today. I can't complain that Apple isn't delivering in the dates that they estimated at the time of ordering. What really bugs me is that others who have ordered after I did, have gotten their phones even a week or two ago. My dad ordered the same phone, same carrier on the 19th. It got delivered on the 25th.
 
I ordered from apple.com on Sept 19 still processing. Anyone know if I get an email when it's preparing for shipment?
 
Ordered 9/20 from Apple.com. They've charged me for Apple Care already, but called Apple and they said it wouldn't kick in until I activated my phone. Order has not left "Processing" status. They've had another riot in China, so not particularly hopeful. Not happy that others who ordered after I did are getting theirs, but life as we know it on the planet will go on....
 
Ordered Friday 10/5 at ATT store 64GB black. Was told 3-4weeks back order. Just got email from ATT. It shipped from TX Sat 10/6 expect Monday delivery from UPS!!! blk 64GB not that high demand?
 
Only ordered on 10/01/12 from ROGERS. They're back ordered so I really have no idea when it will ship. Upgrading from the 4s, and i'm excited.

Getting the white 16gig

Would love to see this happen to mine on this Friday. I ordered the 3rd so if I have your same time table I'll see mine shipped on the 12th. But I'm thinking that's a bit of wishful thinking but oh well!

I also have a 32 GB black ordered from Verizon store. Want my phone cause my CC has already been charged.
 
black 16gb

Apple has usually been pretty quick with the delivery

WOW! I ordered online from Verizon on 9/28 got a ship date of 10/26 and that's the way it sits. :(
 
I suggest you all cancel your orders and reserve one online for next day pickup. I had one on ordered from Sprint on the 18th and by September 28th, my status didn't change. I reserved one on the 28th and picked it up the next day and asked for a refund from Sprint which I got yesterday. So much quicker and easier.
 
Wtf indeed..also ordered mine from AT&T on 9/21 (32gb black) and its being delivered tomorrow (10/8)

If it makes you feel any better, I won't be home when it's delivered and won't get to use it until I get back from my trip late Tuesday night. :mad:
