He didn't specify. there's obviously something wrong with the whole first come first serve thing. It's making me doubt whether or not my phone will come at the end of the week or not. :(

There has never been a first come/first serve 'thing' when you order from Apple. Some orders will get fulfilled before others, but that is due to the asembly of whatever you ordered.

We had the some types of complaints when the rMBPs first came out. Eventhough, for the most part if was FIFO receipt of orders, but every now and then someone would get an order earlier.

I ordered from ATT and they had a first come first serve policy. I don't know why some people are still getting orders shipped earlier and some haven't yet.
 
Ordered on 9/28 around noon in person at AT&T store (16gb black). No email notifications yet and still says "processing" when I check my order status, been a long wait but hopefully I get it this week
 
16GB White iPhone 5 ordered online 10/1 from Apple - Verizon model - just got credit card charge and status change to "Preparing for Shipment" :)
 
16 gb Verizon iPhone 5 - black ordered 10/1 from Apple online store. Today order status changed from "processing items" to "preparing for shipment". Funds taken from account, then order changed back to "processing items". :confused:

This is similar to my status. I ordered online from AT&T Premier on 9/27 (32gb Black) around 3pm. It has said "Processing" since then. I'm really hoping it ships anytime now, it's been a long wait!
 
You and BassX might wanna try this link:

http://www.wireless.att.com/order_status/order_status

If it says it's under maintenance, try it from your phone and it should work.

That link doesn't work for me because I ordered from Premier. I found out that the Premier ordering system is actually different from the regular AT&T wireless order system. Here is the phone # for anyone who ordered through Premier that wants to check their status, etc: 866-499-8008 (Mon-Fri 8am-10pm EST).

I called last Friday and it said the order was processing and will ship soon. Here's hoping... :cool:
 
I ordered my two iPhone 5 64G black on 10.09.2012 and both arrived on 10.12.2012. Employee states perhaps the reason our phones arrived sooner than if I had ordered the 16GB or 32GB is there my not be much demand for the 64GB model.

Where did you order the phones from?
 
Who knows? I'm actually porting over from Verizon so this is my first experience with them...not a good one to say the least.

You can't really blame Verizon, there's just a high demand for the phone and there's many other people in the same position as us right now.

No I'm coming from Verizon to AT&T. Verizon has nothing to do with it. I'm just saying that this is my first experience with AT&T and it hasn't been good lol.

They should've at least implemented a system where people who have been with ATT longer be higher on the queue.

They should have just made a queue that you could see in general. If it wasn't for this forum, I'd have NO idea how close or far I was from shipping.

My order is a premier order and that link works fine for me to tell me my phone is backordered.

Exactly, but even with people who ordered around 9/27 coming off BO, there's still people on BO. I just believe that the whole ordering system is broken.
