Same thing over here. This is my first pre-order on an iPhone. I'm hoping those estimates are wrong as I don't want to wait almost a month.

Anyone here have any experience with how accurate iPhone pre-order ship dates are?

Doubtful. My estimated delivery is 2nd to the 8th and it STILL says processing item.
 
If it hits October 10th, first day of my pre-order delivery window, and its still processing, I will cancel and just go to a local Apple store at 10am or reserve one at night...


Locally right now its sold out everywhere, I call ATT, best buy and radioshacks every other day...haven't gone near an Apple store until they get their stock up a little bit...so I am going to give it a little bit. But if it gets that close my first delivery day and still processing, i might just cancel and try my luck locally by mid october.
 
I am guessing/hoping this when my iPhone 5 will come but it still just says "processing" and a date of "October" :(
 
Still processing - 3 to 9th October estimated. Ordered 5 mins after go live in uk. Date has already slipped from launch day to October whilst in processing and my card was debited on 21st September...
 
I am tempted to cancel my preorder soon...oct 10-16 and i am beginning to feel its going to be on the tail end of it.

I could reserve online or get it in Apple store locally if I really tried and showed up an hour late to work 2-3 days to catch an Apple store opening if I missed the online reservations...

Yay or nay? or Be patient and see if it ships soon?
 
I just missed the first batch - my phone was supposed to be delivered on 1st Oct - in fact I got it on the 25th Sept.
Take the delivery date with a pinch of salt - it should come before that ;)
 
I ordered 9-14 around 6pm central time and mine is still processing. I'm beginning to think I won't even receive it by 10-9. :(
 
Still processing here... just going to have to keep waiting and see, I guess 13 more days in the delivery window until the 15th.
 
I ordered through Apple late Friday, 9/14. It was close to midnight. I ordered 2 Black iPhones....1 16G, 1 32G, 2 Lightening to USB cables (received them last week) and 2 Lightening to 30-Pin adapters. My phones both say Oct. 9-15 and the adapter just says Available to ship in Oct. I have a vacation day this Friday, so I may go to AT&T first (it's closer) and then to Apple. That is if I have nothing better to do ;)
 
Processing Items

Ordered on Sept 14th
Delivery Oct 2 - 8th
Today is the 3rd - status still Oct 2nd - 8th

No change, not happy, no feedback, angry:mad:
 
I can see it now....Check status on the Apple site before I leave the house and it still says Processing Items. Ok, I should be safe. Happily drive 10 minutes to nearest AT&T store or Apple (20 min away) and pick up 2 new phones. I'm gone less then 2 hours....Then get home and it says Preparing for Shipment :roll eyes:

^That is the kind of thing that would happen to me....
