App saves the day!

In for one AT&T 32GB Gold with the app at 3:01AM, noticed that the site didn't go online until 3:03AM here on the east coast.

Arrives 9/30~10/03. I'm guessing this is considered 1-3 business days. Apple giving themselves a cushion.
 
You guys have shipping in 1 to 3 days? Mine says 7 to 10 days. I'm in Canada, is that why?
 
1-3 days to 7-10 days in just minutes

I had an unlocked gold iPhone 5s in my cart. When I clicked on it, it was shipping in 1-3 days. By the time I stopped doddling and hit the checkout button, it had gone to 7-10 days. Good grief.
 
Almost too easy to order. Delivers Sept. 30- OCt.1.

Hmm.. maybe I should just try a store tomorrow and get it sooner.
 
Ordered mine thru Verizon's website. Ships by September 24th. I hope that's accurate!

I ordered it with the Apple Store app and the 5s will be delivered between Sep. 27-Oct. 1 with expedited shipping on the East Coast. Pick up in the store was not an option.

Also ordered mine through the mobile app. It was up before the website ... had autorefresh running on my laptop but my phone was faster.

Really quick, got the 1-3 business days shipping ... but the confirmation says sept 30 - oct 2 ... oh well. Should have selected faster shipping, but I suspect the US is getting priority on first wave online orders as we're the only ones with 1-3 days shipping showing up ... and since they're likely shipping straight from China I bet the free standard shipping really will take a week or so.
 
AT&T Upgrade not working for me

AT&T upgrade eligibility servers are either being crushed or my account is fubared:

All I get from both the Apple web site and the iOS app is:
Please try again later.

There seems to be a problem with your AT&T account. If it continues, please visit an Apple Retail Store or contact AT&T at 1-800-331-0500. We're sorry for the inconvenience.
:mad:

(I'm over a year beyond my contract too)
 
64GB Gold AT&T...ships 7-10 business days ordered through website right at the bell. I'll try the app next time.
 
Have to love this prepared article. The iPhone 5S is NOT unlocked on launch day from ANY of the options on the site.

The T-Mobile has been updated to only be "Contract-Free" crap. They will unlock it only on their terms.
 
The app was live before the web . . . I had to go through Verizon.com though because I transferred upgrade eligibility from another line on my family plan. The app was telling me $869 for 64GB.

I ordered the 64GB Gold, it says it will ship 9/24. I'll believe when I see it.

Good night nerds.
 
i ordered immediately but notice:



Guess wasn't fast enough haha

I think this is just apples cautious shipping estimate. Either way my shipping was "1-3" business days and my estimated arrival is the same as your. My order was placed at right at 0301 EST
