AT&T actually saying on confirmation email:

If you ordered an iPhone 5, your device will ship in approximately 14 - 21 business days. All other devices will be shipped in 2-3 business days.
 
I placed a preorder through AT&T just now and the confirmation stated that my iPhone 5 will ship in 14-21 business days...
 
I ran into a shipping address problem — wrote about it this morning at Blorge.com. The gist of it: I had an old billing address that they force you to ship to. I no longer live at that residence, and I've never had a problem because I pay my bills electronically.

But when I woke up early to buy off the Apple Store, it would only send to the billing address linked with my AT&T account. There's no way to edit this during checkout.

I had the same issue but was able to log into the order-status page and update the shipping address to the correct one this morning.

I had the same problem. However, after you checkout online and your order is processed you can login to your Apple account and check the order status. Simply click the edit near the shipping information and it will allow you to change it. Worked perfectly in my situation, as I have an old address in my billing info for AT&T.

Is this on a recently placed order or on an order from early this morning?
 
Order my iPhone through apple.com this morning at 6:30am EST.

Have been refreshing my order in the apple store, and just saw this: http://d.pr/i/GLOj

Called AT&T to see if I should cancel that and order through them. They told me you'll get the new iPhone when it ships in 2-3 weeks.

I know everyone loves getting upset at these things, and I hate to add to the noise, but it is annoying that I ordered through Apple.com when it said "2 weeks", but the date in that graphic above says Oct 5th, which is 3 weeks.
 
My condolences

I'm truly sorry for everyone that will have to wait an excruciatingly long 2-3 week waiting period on their new iPhone. I hope your current iPhone will keep working over this period and that you will not take drastic action that could put yourself in harms way.

This is truly the great tragedy of our lifetime. :rolleyes:
 
Got a hold of a Sprint rep (after a mysterious unexplainable order hold) and it was confirmed my black 32gb will be shipped by the 21st! SO GLAD to be back with Sprint. Sick of AT&T rip off data plan pricing!

truly fantastic comment lol

in the verizon store i manage i have had people cuss at my employee's and just be very rude when they are told that they will have to wait a little longer to recieve their phones....
 
Same thing here..

I ordered mine before 4AM EDT last night, and got a Sept 21 "Deliver by" date. Woke up this morning, and now it's a Sept 26 "Ship by" date. What the F? Did I even need to stay up late? Hoping it's just a conservative, playing-it-safe estimate.
On the plus side, at least Verizon's site was up and ready for the launch. Another reason I'm switching from AT&T.

I was hitting refresh as soon as the store opened up on verizon, I pre-ordered my phone. If it hadn't said "Deliver By 9/21" I had every intention of camping outside the store next week. My email confirmation says 9/21. However, when I checked my status this morning, (go to iphone pre-order, at the bottom of screen it says "check status", the email link couldn't find it) it says will ship by 9/26. I called verizon and was ASSURED that "as one of the first to pre-order" I would get it BY 9/21. She said those ordering later this morning wouldn't get it till after the 26th.

Mine did that too (on preorders.verizonwireless.com) but is now back to 9/21
 
Wow this was put up fast, I work at a verizon store and i just recieved an E-Mail saying the orders were pushed back, had a good turn out so far actually had some people camp out which i found sort of funny

Any idea when the cutoff was for the 9/21 delivery? Hoping I made it by ordering 515 am eastern time.

I didn't spot the hysteria you must have read, that would warrant this facetious (and wholly unoriginal) comment.

Anyway. I think it's low that AT&T's website proudly states "Your iPhone 5 16GB will arrive on 9/21/12" on the product page, and it is only after you have gone through the entire order process that they reveal that it's 3-4 weeks.
 
I pre ordered the iphone 5 at about 3:30 am EST, I got the confirmation page saying my order went through. However i did not get an e-mail from AT&T. My credit card has a $1.00 pending transaction from AT&T so I am kind of sure it did go through, however i am not positive
 
good grief people. relax... it's just a phone. people with an iphone4/4s.... it's the same thing anyways.... with an extra row of icons!
 
I was finally able to get through on sprints website at about 4:20 am it still said delivery by 9/21 but by then Apples stock had slipped to 2 weeks. This is what sprint sent me in my Order conformation:"We know you are dying to get your hands on it. We'll charge your card today and your iPhone will be waiting for you in our warehouse with your name on it. Excluding extreme circumstances, we'll do our best to get it to you Friday, Sept. 21" anyone hear anything from sprint?

got the exact same thing from Sprint... I hope that means we will be receiving them next friday

did they do a credit hold to confirm your identity over the phone with the credit check company?

I had the same thing if that was the case

i recieved a message saying dates had been pushed back long after that time you should be fine, im 99% sure u will get it on the 21st
 
ATT Preorder Shipments

Just got off the phone with a very nice customer service lady with ATT. She did confirm that shipments for the new iPhone are now in fact 14-21 days. Looks like best bet will be to wait outside a retail store next Friday if you want the new phone on launch day.
 
Ordered 2phones w & black 16 gb about an hour ago 11:30 am eastern- at AT&T.com got confirmation email saying delivery by sept 21 - I'm almost expecting that to slip but if it doesn't if I was one of you guys i'd get mad...
