Is there ANY chance of a 2-3 weeks shipping date shipping earlier than listed?

Lined up at Best Buy last night from 8:45pm, got in at 8:55pm, picked up my copy of Mario Odyssey at 9pm with the bonuses (a collectible coin and a poster).

HOW I WISH IPHONE PRE-ORDER EVER THAT SMOOTH.

Stayed up til midnight, kept refreshing both the app and the website from 12:00am, didn't get in until 12:10am...2-3weeks shipping estimate.

I even got pre-approved and all that. I HATE YOU APPLE.
 
Apple has this thing down to a science. I'm assuming we'll be on the earlier side of the delivery window barring any potential delay factors out of Apple's control. At this point I'm going with the assumption that i'll be getting my phones on November 23.

Dude. I’m not complaining with 2-3 week delivery. It’s lot better than 5-6 weeks....let alone next year.

But for people who actually made the effort to get-approved (with many glitches during the process, but that's past so I won't complain), optimized their wifi for the midnight battle, and fought off their sleepiness to stay awake even though they have early morning calls with europe at like 6am...2-3 weeks SUCKS.

I understand that. nothing is perfect, but you guys will eventually get it. These problems will occur. Try to look at this way... it will be in november and you are getting a product that a lot of people want and Apple have limited supplies. This is like Nintendo SNES mini classic type of level of supplies.
 
I would expect you will move up, the further out you are the more you will move up. As said in most of the above posts Apple has a long history of underpromising and over delivering
 
I know what to do next year. Find any way to decrease my ping speed. I think that's one of the reasons I had such a hard time getting on and having all those errors prior to actually getting the reservation email
 
I am in the same delivery window of Nov 17-24 and I hope it arrives early. I am not holding my breath though, every previous iPhone, iPad, ATV, etc has arrived exactly when they said it would.
 
Mine just shifted to 11/3 delivery!!!! Was originally 11/10-1117

You must've been right on the edge of a launch delivery, and with some people cancelling or having CC issues, just enough fell off to move you up lol. What time did you submit your order?

Hmm, based on these anecdotes it seems there is a good chance the actual deliveries could beat Apple's estimates. I am pretty pleased with my November 10-17 delivery, but am just irked that for deliveries past launch day in-store pickup is not available. I live in a safe neighborhood, but having over $1,000 sit on the porch still gives me anxiety.

I had mine in at 3:06, but I doubt that means anything. I have no idea how any of this really workso_O (my shipping window is Nov 21-28)

Wow, are you sure that your time is right? Even mine went through at 3:10 and I at least had 11/17-11/24

100%. And as i mentioned in another thread, when I put the first order through the confirmation screen literally said November 3rd delivery. Then when i got the email it said 2-3 weeks shipping Nov 21-28. I also ordered a second phone which completed at 12:08 and got the same 3 week timeline. I'm in Canada, ordered through the app store on my phones, used gift cards to buy both phones, and used house wifi.
 
My initial order for my 256GB silver (GSM) said Nov 10-14 but logging in it now says "Order in progress - Delivers Nov 3" Crossing my fingers. I ordered via Apple app
 
Screenshot of email confirmation, you'll see it says 12:06
