for those of you who already have your Xs, how long did it take to actually get your phone once it shipped? I was given a delivery date of 11/24, but 10 days seems like a long time.
 
It's up to UPS as to when they get it to you. I believe they have 7 or 10 days from the time they take possession. It really depends on how much excess space they have on planes going out. Next day stuff has priority.

The UPS option chosen by Apple provides 4-5 business day shipping from China. Note that weekends and holidays may affect the actual travel times. In addition, weather and equipment delays may also impact your delivery date.

Mine spent three days in China since UPS started tracking, and then I got it two days after it departed Zhengzhou (I live in Seattle).

Thanks for the info. Mine is awaiting clearing agency review...not even sure what that means.
 
My 2nd ATT Silver 256 had a schedule date of 12/1-12/8 and it’s scheduled for delivery on Nov. 20th. It just left Zhengzhou, so if we don’t include the weekend then it’s 4-5 days.

My wife just got her shipping email from Apple today and the tracking info shows that it will be delivered by the end of the day on the 20th if that helps. We are on the east coast of the US.
 
Did you guys get your phones yesterday? I have a delivery date of 11/24 and it shipped with notification on 11/18! Still in China!
 
I have two ship dates of 11/16. Early one schedule for 11/24, but change to delivery end of 11/21. Later one, last update 11/18, in transit from China with no delivery date.

Yes! When it first shipped, apple's delivery date was 11/24, but I got it yesterday.
