Looks like mine rode into Korea on the same horse. Although, yours seems to have departed, mine is still sitting in Korea. Looks like the horse to Canada came up lame!

Still says mine is in Korea but that it will be delivered, on time, by end of day tomorrow. There is no way that is possible. Hoping the tracker is just not updating properly as I think in needs to go to Anchorage, Louisville, Hamilton and the Toronto to be put on a truck tomorrow for delivery.
 
My brother's says his is still in Louisville, KY but it will be delivered today. He lives in Alabama... Will be impressed if they get it delivered today.
 
Ordered my AT&T 16GB BLACK IPHONE 5 1:30am PST through the apple stoee app. Originally estimated to be delivered October 5. On September 23 i got notice of shipment from apple with a tracking number and UPS showed delivery date of 9/28/2012 with a departing scan from china of 7pm on 9/23/2012.

On 9/25/2013, ups status hasn't changed but they upped my delivery date to 9/27/2012. Got a bit excited...

Today 09/27/2012 my iPhone 5 has finally arrived in Kentucky, an import scan but the delivery date is now back to its new original estimate of 9/28/2012. Let's hope I get it tomorrow!

Signed up for ups alerts but havent gotten any so far even when the status changes do I've just been refreshing my tracking number.

Also apparently I wastn given a chance to add apple care during checkout on the app so apple actually sent me an email asking me if I wanted apple care and to reply directly to the email if i did. Haha
 
NICE.... Hope mine follows the same pattern.

Did yours go through "Import Scan" in KY?

Mine arrived at 1:12AM but then did a Import Scan at 11:54am? I assume that it did not clear customs in Alaska?

Well ether way, congratulations.

Yes, It arrived in KY around 1 am and 10 hours later the import scan was performed. Couple hours after that it departed.

Looks like I'm a minute behind you buddy ;)
 
Ordered mine (16gb black at&t) at 6:30 pm central on the 14th and it is STILL only processing with an estimated delivery of Oct. 9. Is anyone else that ordered on release day still only being processed?

Ordered mine (64g white, del to the US) at 6:15pm est on the 14th. The original delivery date was October 5, it was pushed to the 9th a couple of days later and that's where it has languished still processing for me also. I've been neurotically refreshing the order page, no changes. I stopped at the at&t store but of course there's a wait there as well. Envious of all you people who have it! :)

Same here! I envy all the people upset about being in the "preparing to ship" stage for days at a time. Tomorrow will be two weeks and I have seen no progress! :/

Ordered from Apple, or AT&T?

Just curious of the priorities, etc. From a non-anilitical look at the thread, the smaller (16G) phones seemed to get out slightly ahead of the 64G, and the 7ish Eastern orders were Oct 5th, and improving to 2nd or tomorrow.

No way to tell how Apple deals with3 Carriers, each with 3 models in 2 colors, and fulfill the online orders from 4 channels (3 Carriers and them), and supply stores.... interesting process.... Love to know how the assembly line is controlled based on the demands.

I ordered from Apple (64g white east coast). MIne goes against your analysis as the original date was the 5th and moved to the 9th. Wah.

I ordered from the Apple online store.
 
Just to give some of you hope....I ordered a ATT 32gb black from Apple at 5:00 am PST on the 14th and I originally had a delivery date of 5 Oct. It ended up shipping on the 21st and mine arrived on Tues the 25th at 10:30 am PST.

I ordered another ATT white 16 gb at 5:30 am on the 14th and originally had the 5th of Oct...ended up shipping on the 23rd and arrived today at 11:00 am PST.
 
Starting to believe that the fact that mine is still processing may not be the worst scenario after hearing about the problems with scuffy chips, unseated batteries, light showing through, etc. Maybe because they really really like me, they are making me the perfect i5. Aww shucks.

HA! Honestly, I'd take a scratched phone right now. My Galaxy S Captivate isn't cutting it anymore. Cosmetically it is flawless, but the damn thing won't even vibrate.

Hate it when that happens.
Mine is a i3gs. I actually LOVE the look and feel, it's the old rounded body and I prob still wouldn't have changed up, but it has a pretty nasty crack that's gotten worse, the battery is nearly useless and it's slowed down quite a bit. So I held out for this newest version. And still holding...
 
So I'm one of the really rare Oct. 1st delivery dates. It's currently in Louisville, KY, United States as of 3:42 AM.
 
Ordered Sept 24th with Oct 19th Delivery Estimate

Black Verizon 64G

Order was delayed through internal process at work (this is a corporate phone) so I wasn't able to get it submitted as early as many of you.

However, hoping hard that this may even be a week early with supply catching up a bit.

Please tell me I have good reason to expect this!
 
Received an email that my iPhone shipped at 4:14 CST this morning.
Right now it is either in ZhengZhou or it just left. Finally! Any news for you, SurfKitty?
