2 weeks now till ship for Verizon...not bad. The Verizon rep at my wife's local store told her nearly a month wait and that was about 10 days ago...she ended up buying a GS3 and she is fine with it...she needed a new phone right away and they had the Samsung in stock.

I think it depends on the model. All of the iPhone 5's on the verizon website say ship by 26th except for the black 16gb & white 16gb versions. They both say Nov 02 estimated ship date. I'm guessing they are the more popular models.
 
Ordered late to avoid the hoopla

Apple.com, oct 6, 32gb black, AT&T deliveries nov7-14.

I have 3 cases and no phone. :(.

Not really complaining because people have been waiting much longer than I have. I just hope they get their act together, quickly.

Shipped on the 9th. Just found out today. Sweet.

Tracked it, to be delivered by 7PM TOMORROW!

Ordered 9/21 16GIG WHITE @ a Verizon Store
 
Mine is coming to Canada and it arrived in Louisville early this morning via Ankorage.


Mine seems to be bogged down in Louisville - the UPS Track status still shows no Departure Scan over a day after (32 hours and counting) the Arrival Scan.

Joined to post my experience with our AT&T business account, as there doesn't seem to be much of those in the thread:

All ordered via business account rep, early morning 9/14:

- 2 black 16 gig scheduled to arrive tomorrow (10/12)
- 4 white 16 gig still on backorder

The black ones are out for delivery. SQUEEEE!

White ones are now off backorder and processing.
 
Mine shipped apparently on Sunday, but the UPS tracking has said "A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated" since. Anyone else seeing this? Should I be concerned?

I'm also in the same boat. Apple shows it to be shipped on the 9th, saying it will arrive by the 16th and provided me with a UPS tracking number. I'm still not seeing a single scan. as each day passes, a new shipping label is created with the current date but not a single scan. Any update to yours?
 
Who to order from?

Is anyone having better luck ordering from different carriers? I ordered from Apple 9/26 and am still processing. My co-worker ordered from AT&T 10/10 and recieved his phone today. :mad::mad:
 
Order from you carrier

It seems like apple is still shipping them "in order". AT&T, Verizon and Sprint are already filling orders from early october while apple is still finishing up getting phones to those that ordered in September. I ordered around 9:30 am on Sept. 18th (32g black Verizon), my phone shipped on the 9th and i won't have it til monday or tuesday (scheduled delivery for 10/16 end of day as per UPS tracking), yet i see a lot of people that ordered from their carrier, as far as 2 weeks after, receiving their phones this week. The carriers seem to be the way to go at this point if you haven't already ordered a phone.
 
Update:

I live in canada and i ordered from apple.ca
This is my Shipment Progress:

Anchorage, AK, United States 10/10/2012 15:25 Departure Scan

ZhengZhou, China 10/09/2012 18:52 Arrival Scan

ZhengZhou, China 10/09/2012 17:45 Departure Scan

ZhengZhou, China 10/07/2012 7:59 Origin Scan

China 10/10/2012 13:03 Order Processed: Ready for UPS

I'm really impressed with UPS. My i5 is on its way to Louisville meaning it almost shipped to four different places IN ONE DAY! :D But it still says:

Scheduled Delivery:
Tuesday, 10/16/2012, By End of Day :(

Update:
Louisville, KY, United States 10/12/2012 15:20 Departure Scan

It won't get to toronto today though.. :(
 
Ordered mine yesterday through apple's website. Black 32gb. Looks like I have a long wait.. says it won't be shipped till Nov 9-16 :(
 
Ordered a white 32GB through Verizon website on 10/8. They gave a ship date of 10/26. Just received shipping email with FedEx tracking number. Phone will be at my house on 10/16.

Depends on color and size. I ordered back in September and still waiting with AT&T. People that went with the 32GB and 64GB are the ones that are getting them sooner I think for AT&T.

In my experience at least, apple is slower even for the same model. I originally had a white 32gb ordered from apple with expected ship date of the second week of nov. canceled that a week later and ordered from Verizon instead and the ship date changed to oct 26 for the exact same model.
