Yeah I know, but some people have been getting timeframes which would be enormously useful!

It's completely dependent on your proximity to distribution, the driver's route, number of shipments that day etc.

People getting timeframes are probably in areas where multiple circuits are run per day (dense or commercial areas) or are located at the beginning of routes.

Check your tracking first thing Thursday AM and a time may be there, but I wouldn't expect a timeframe to pop up. If you have familiarity with your area's typical UPS delivery time, expect that.

Unfortunately, it goes to a Post Office here and I pick it up from there. Plus I haven't been here long enough to know.

Hopefully it works out!
 
So has anyone had any luck with a 64GB Gold phone that was ordered through AT&T (at the att store)? I ordered mine on launch day Friday morning and have still not received a confirmation of shipment or tracking number. Im in southern CA if that makes any difference. Anyone in the same boat as me?

How can you tell what flight it connects with to Los Angeles?
Click to expand...

go to flightaware.com and find a flight. carrier: united parcel service
departing airport KSDF arriving at?? LAX? I'm not sure which airport UPS uses. If it is LAX it looks like they do two flights in the evening so that may explain why it will be thursday. Im in houston, my phone is on the same plane that just landed but there are two flights into houston tonight, and UPS claims ill have it in the morning.. Its amazing, I didnt think there was any way it would go from China, to Korea, to Alaska, to Kentucky, to Houston that fast. Now I just hope they dont screw up my will call request (again).

Glad you will get yours tomorrow. I just looked the Burbank airport is closer and there is a flight in 2 hours.
 
Anyone have their T-Mobile order ship recently? I feel like there hasn't been much news on that front yet. Maybe they are still waiting for their shipment to ship to us.
 
Just got my silver 64 gb 5s today after nearly 30 hrs of account locks and other shenanigans. never thought I would be this excited and happy to swipe my finger on a phone every few minutes.
 
Yes

T mobile is the unlocked phone right? I ordered mine at 1216 on the 20th. The email I got says to be delivered between october 8 -11 :(
Still, and that I will be shipped within 7-10 days.
 
I placed my order at a locale tmobile store in houston on launch day at 1045am.

It arrives on Thursday. I ordered a 16gb iPhone 5s in space gray.

They offered me free standard shipping. I did not upgrade the shipping.
 
Just as described!

Ordered 5S 32GB gray at 4:21 Am Eastern time on Sept 20 with shipping 1-3 business days and delivery Sept 27 to Oct 2.

Just received shipping notification from Apple Store that phone is in Zhengzou, China and will arrive October 1 by UPS.

This is exactly within shipping estimates as described at the time I ordered it!

My phone is an AT&T model, ordered through the Apple Store mobile app.
 
mine has officially arrived! ordered 12:05AM, 1-3 shipping days, sept 30th, arrived sept 24th on normal shipping rates. Not too shabby. :D

Loving it, T-Mobile phone from Apple Store is in fact unlocked, worked OOB with my at&t sim from my 5. (little doubt, but people kept saying otherwise on these boards)

Good luck to all who are still waiting. I hope for a speedy delivery! :)

Pretty sure it will be going to Ontario, CA which is very close by. UPS Flight 918 from Louisville is scheduled to go out in 2 hours as of writing: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS918/history/20130925/0731Z/KSDF/KONT
Click to expand...

That's probably right - Both UPS and FedEx have their distribution centers right next to the Ontario airport (ONT). They have facilities at LAX too, but maybe that's just for priority stuff (by 10:30am).

UPS 904 goes to LAX around the same time -

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS904

I guess I'll see where it ends up tomorrow morning when the tracking updates. A merciful God will see that mine doesn't miss whatever the plane is b/c tracking shows it's still scheduled for Thursday :eek:

Tracking did update arrival to Kentucky about an hour after Flt. 99 landed, and a bit later it showed that it cleared import.

I really need to stop :D but I just can't help it!
 
So I had a $10.86 pending charge from apple, now that's gone and I have a $5.16 pending charge. Ordered gold 16gb AT&T phone around 9am on Friday with an October ship date.

Has anyone else has these pending charges? I got the expedited shipping charge refunded but still not sure what this new charge is all about
 
Flight 904 to LAX departed, and 918 to ONT hasn't yet, and UPS shows my phone departed Louisville - Looks like it might be on the way to Los Angeles! *And* tracking updated to show early delivery Wednesday - w00t!
 
Just got upgraded to delivery today before 3 originally it was to be delivered on Thursday - I'm super excited to get my hands on my i5s Verizon 64gb ....goooold
 
Early delivery!

The phone has now left Louisville and I just barely noticed it's now been scheduled for early delivery by UPS. I should get it tomorrow (Wednesday) instead of Thursday (as originally scheduled). Sweet!

16GB iPhone 5S AT&T Silver
Ordered September 20th from store.apple.com at 1:30AM Mountain time (Apple's delivery estimate 30 Sep - 2 Oct by Standard Shipping)
 
I just scored a gold iPhone on eBay auction for 800.00 not bad! Now I don't have to wait until November!
