Ordered my White iPhone 5 64GB on AT&T through the apple store on Oct 6. It still says "Processing Items" ships 3 - 4 weeks, delivers: Nov 7 - Nov 14 via standard shipping. I hope it ships sooner tho. :rolleyes:
My status just changed to "Preparing for Shipment" yesterday! So hopefully I get my phone before Halloween or before next weekend. :D
 
Newbie Question

Ordered my IPHONE 5 16gb white on OCT 2nd .............Well first off I had the dreaded security deposit come up on my account because I missed a payment in the past. Had to pay a restoration fee and now they are asking me for 150 per line to start up. Anyway I wanted the Iphone 5 but did not have the upgrade available yet. So I went into my local ATT store and gave them a 150 dollar deposit plus the authorization on my credit card for the 212.00 for the iphone 5 16gb white. Manager came out and said they are still having issues with adding a line to my account and he is going to Order the phone anyway but I technically wont have a family plan or second number until the phone is shipped to the store and the service is set up. I had never heard of this before because Ideally I wanted the phone shipped to my house. Anyway about 3 hours later I received an email from ATT confirming my order but My tracking information did not work. It also did not show up in MY ORDERS on the att home page. I called around and finally got in touch with the store manager who eventually informed me that I technically Couldn't track the iphone myself because it is being shipped to the store. He then proceeded to print me an ORDERTRACK document straight from their store stating all of the technicalities of the order. The only way as of right now I can track the order is to use The order number in the email and the ZIP CODE from the store its being shipped to which is 19082. This is on the telephone prompt and is very vague. (It only says the items you ordered are on backorder and will be shipped as soon as they become available) Has anybody else had this happen and are there any ways around it to be able to have as much closure as you guys have on the status of their order? I honestly dont want to call the store everyday to check the status of my order.
Sorry for the lengthy post but I had to get the whole scenario out.

So I just joined this forum to post here! lol

I ordered my Black 32GB iPhone 5 for Verizon directly from the Apple Store website on the 10/09/2012.

I got charged today, 10/23/2012 the amount of $364.xx, and now my order status says "Preparing for Shipment"!

Too excited! My expected delivery date is 11/07 to 11/14. I don't feel this is right if the phone is already preparing to ship.

Any input on this? :confused:

Although I'm in Australia I'd imagine you'll definitely get it sooner. Mine wasn't due to deliver til November 2-8, but it shipped last night and is now due to deliver on Friday 26th. It's in transit in Hong Kong right now, meaning it will be in Sydney tomorrow and Melbourne on Friday. No idea how it works going to the US but Because you are a day behind us time zone wise, I think it's a dead certainty you'll have it before the weekend :) But I won't 100% guarantee it haha!
 
so frustrating:

My wife ordered her 32 GB white iPhone 5 on 10/1 in store and picked it up in store on 10/11. I ordered a black 32GB 5 on 10/16 and it is still on backorder. If only my 4s screen was shattered before the 5 was announced...
 
Ordered: 28th of September. Apple.se (Apple's online Store in Sweden)
Model: 32GB White Unlocked
Shipped: 23rd of October
Delivered: 24th of October

Manufactured: Week 42 October 2012 at factory C3.

Maybe this will help anyone else waiting for theirs.

Been a pleasure reading this thread. Made the wait feel a little less long :)
 
Does your status say out for delivery?

Mine does :) Out for delivery in Ottawa today 10/24, shipped 10/19 from China. I guess I was right all along, no thanks to Apple & UPS. The 10/29 date that UPS had was completely false.

It's most likely that, because mine are also saying "Out for Delivery Today"
 
Xero9 where is yours headed? I got an out for delivery scan.

EDIT: DELIVERED!

Oh man yours is in Montreal, right?

I'm in Toronto.. Still no sign of it being delivered yet. A UPS truck pulled up to the building here, which got me excited. Then he drove off :/

btw, what color did you get? Is it flawless??
