Sept 20th orders with October ship date, Apple.com buyers. [MERGED]

Same here on the exception from UPS. First Apple product I've had shipped via UPS and the first that's delayed. For now, no update on a new delivery date, but it will probably be a one day delay. Spoke with Apple customer service and they had no clue except to say they've had some calls on this and it might be a customs thing (I think the weight theory is much more likely).

So my wife's phone made the flight and mine's delayed (figures!) so I'll be waiting for deliveries on multiple days. Not a huge deal, but annoying after the long wait for the 5s.

Overall, the handling of this rollout and delivery is well below my usual exemplary experience with Apple customer service. I hope they spend a little time to work on avoiding it in the future.

<end of rant>
 
I hope mine isn't delayed, but it's currently in Korea still.

Mine :)apple: 32GB Gold) is showing it is in Alaska and should be in Dallas after midnight and delivered between 12-1pm tomorrow.

No I'm not excited at all :D

And this, people, is why we don't have ready stock for the 5s here in the US.

Cool! I agree, good for them :) Nice to see Apple spreading the love around and other countries getting a chance to get their 5s along with us.

My 5s should be at the UPS store some time tomorrow. I'll wander over at some point and pick it up. I am more bummed at Spigen who, unlike Apple, has almost no order tracking and keeps pushing their backordered delivery estimate back and NOT shipping the other items I order that are in stock :( Very frustrating.
 
At long last I see a departure scan from Alaska.
Just now they posted a departure scan of 3:38 PM (7:38 PM EST) Only 4 hours later! :p
Getting closer to home...
 
Out of Anchorage at 3:38 p.m.

Today makes 40 days and 40 nights. One Noah's flood worth of time waiting. Supposedly will be delivered today by end of day. Reminds me of an old song by a group called The Pastels "Been So Long". They had another song called "So Far Away". Listen to both on Youtube.

It departed Louisville, KY at 4:25 a.m.
 
Didn't make launch day

Good reminder about how a bad idea is to order at launch day or near there.

Had ordered 32gb gold on 9/21. Big mistake. Should have ordered as soon as the site went up on the 20th. However, its water over the dam. The phone is now in Philadelphia as of 5:53 a.m. which is 15 miles from my location in New Jersey. I'm really close. Delivery expected by end of day.
 
The UPS tracking is totally wacky. My phone went from China on 10/29 (Chinese time) to Louisville on 10/31 with no intervening scans. Now it is supposedly out for delivery. I'll believe it when I see it, but I am hopeful!

My 32GB gold ordered on 9/21 at 9:30 a.m. AT&T is "Out For Delivery" I feel happier than a camel on hump day.:):):):D:D:D
 
Finally, departed Louisville and arrived in Mount Hope, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Package shipped, delivery being scheduled and everything. Just has to leave for delivery now I think. That's like 30 minutes from where I live. :D

My phone went to New Brunswick... Like half-way across the country. I got hit with an exception. :(

Oh well, as long as I still get it today.
 
This will be a big day for a lot of us.:)
The UPS scan system finally caught up in Louisville, and every scan thereafter has been mostly spot on. Already on my hometown, Departure Scan and In transit (which here means out for delivery)...

Happy unboxing day, people!!!
