This was a real rush. So fast I missed the option for expedited pricing. I kept trying to see if I ordered the right phone and not the 5C
 
I missed expedited shipping too. Wasn't shaking, but past experience had me primed to get the orders done before the server crashed, lol.
 
Same here! I kept double checking too to make sure I got the right color and size. I didn't see the expedited option either - I wonder if Apple will allow us to change it.
 
I missed it as well ....

Same here, I was rushing to get it completed.

I see the Gold is already bumped up to 7-10 days ... within the first 20 minutes
 
I wasn't shaking but I had adrenaline. I saw the option for the shipping thing, clicked on it, couldn't understand what it said under one second so I just closed it and hit confirm order. lol

same. I didnt see a choice for any upgrade and didnt want to slow things knowing time was of the essence. In any event it doesnt appear that it speeds things up that much but I still would have spent the $10 just in case
 
at least you didnt type your shipping address wrong. "broadway st" was typed as "broadwat"
 
We must all be crazy. It's hard to believe all the people sitting at their computers right now at this time of night ordering a phone. LOL

I did the same but I'm just saying. Who else releases stuff with this sort of turnout/frenzy? :D
 
I missed it too so I went back and ordered another. Will cancel the first one once I know 1-3 business days is really going to happen on the second one...

better than camping out for 12+ hours outside

I wouldn't blame anyone for this. But hands shaking? This the OP's first rodeo?

I laughed out loud when I read this. So true. :) I love it though.

I'm not a camper. I just can't do it. I suppose it's not as bad for the west coast folks right now, but I'm EST so it's late. I should be back in bed but I keep checking threads. lol

Just imagine the people standing on the line.

I missed this option too, but called cust service after I got my confirmation email and he was able to upgrade the shipping to 2 business days.
 
I wasn't shaking but Apple did throw me a curve ball with the cc security code verification at the very end. Luckily I remembered. That was definitely a life or death situation j/k...
 
It was just as I remembered from previous preorders. Make sure all info is up to date with your Apple ID and you have no problems. Got my confirm email at 3:03.
