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

Well I have to add, that the email was addressed personally to me and with my particular order number. Not sure if that is standard practice, or everyone usually gets a mass email.

On four occasions I called the 1-800-MYAPPLE number to see if I could get anymore specifics. The fourth and final call, is when I really let them have it. I went on a decent rant about the vagueness of their "Available to Ship" date, and told them that I was extremely dissatisfied with the lack of information.

The contents of the email, almost mirrored all the points from my rant. So when I read it, it was kind of uncanny and eerie. Nevertheless, I'm glad that I got some response. Now to see if Apple acts upon their email.:)

LOL that's probably why you got an email then. You worked hard enough to get one ;)

Hopefully they'll update our statuses soon, I'm sure they know we're tired of waiting

Yeah I guess I must have pressured them into responding.:D

Honestly, I did not expect to receive an email. I was fully prepared that my rant would fall on deaf ears. I was pleasantly surprised when I received that email earlier in the evening.
 
Lemme get this straight...so when you got the email from Apple after you called them, did your order status changed to "Preparing for shipment"?

Unfortunately, no... but it would have been the perfect "icing on the cake" if it did.:)

So I'm a huge lurker of macrumors haha and I just caved in and got an account just to help me cope with the wait haha. I am currently on an iPhone 4 16GB that is bursting at the seams. I ordered a iPhone 5S gold 32GB for AT&T on the morning of launch at about 11:20. And I think I should have ordered a 64 xD

But I'm glad to see some orders changing from processing to preparing to ship. It's giving me hope. It's my birthday on the 12th & I'm hoping I can get mine by then <3 ill be living in this thread till arrival of my new child lol
 
They are probably assembling 5Ss as fast as they can. I just wish I can have the phone before my birthday.

I've been reading it takes 5 days to make a single ipad, how long for an iPhone? I guess it's cheaper to make via cheap hands than to pay for expensive robots. It's really a shame.

They make 137,000 a day. So about 1 every second apparently.
 
Update:
My AT&T 16 GB Gold iPhone 5s ordered at 3:30 AM EST on Sept 20 just changed to Shipped.

I have a UPS tracking number and estimated delivery for Thursday.

What are you going to do, stare it to death?:D

I'm pretty frustrated as well... but this is probably easier than waiting for shipments to stores. At least we have a 100% chance of getting one... eventually.:)
 
Just got notification that my Space Grey iPhone 5s -- 32GB -- just shipped from Shenzhen, China en route to my flat in Hong Kong. Will be delivered on the 9th.

Quite excited about it... will be a long 4 days :D
