I am getting an iphone 5 tomorrow, and today i went on to check if the local store had what i wanted. of course not, and so i am going to order and wait.

It says its expected to ship in 14-21 days. How accurate is this? Are there ever pushed back? I've never bought an iphone this early, unless it was launch day, so i've never not just walked in and gotten one.

Will it be closer to 14 days or 21? Idk just wondering ..
 
It depends on what size and where you order from. My 16 gig black was ordered from AT&T premier on the 3rd. Right now I'm on my 16th buineiess day out of 14-21 and still on backorder, so I'd say you're looking probably closer to 21 for 16 gig. 64 gig should ship tomorrow. 32's are about in the same boat as 16's right now.

um how did you count 16? i ordered a day before you and im on 16.. some how i think you need to retake kindergarten...

btw it isnt 14-21 days, today is my 25th day, it is business days, so no weekends. this is really pissing me off though btw i rodered a black 32gb.

It's actually 14-21 business days. Shipping times are varying dramatically from what I've seen on these forums so it's tough to say if it will ship sooner or later. I'm one of the unlucky ones as I am on day #27 (business day #19) and still waiting.
 
I'm getting a black 64 GB. I have a 4S on Verizon at the moment for the time being, so it's not horrible. Just before the middle of November would be awesome.

Wow, talk about rude. Obviously you don't know how to count because counting the 3rd, today is 16 business days.

When people try to help you, which I did, you should obviously try not to be a jerk about it.
 
Ordered on Oct. 18th. Said 3-4 weeks. Gave delivery dates of Nov 14 - Nov 26. Has not changed since placing the order.
