My delivery dates are 31st - 7th, so i called apple last night and aksked if all was ok as my order was still showing "processing". She said everything looks fine and iPhone should be delivered on or before the last day "7th Nov", and she hasn't heard of any being delivered late!
She also said the order status could stay on "processing" until the 6th Nov then change to shipped and it could still be delivered on the 7th. I asked i there was a demand for white 16gb and she said no, black and white are about same demand.
So looks like i gotta sit and wait til the end date.
