iPhone 5 preorder says it will ship in two weeks

i decided that i wont cancell my order since i was able to use my gift cards towards buying the phone . its worth waiting an extra week or so , to save what i saved on it by using the gift cards

I just canceled my order w/Apple :-) just keep refreshing/trying to log in and you'll get in ur account..... eventually :-/

what about resetting your phone upgrade status?

It resetted automatically

I ordered at 6 am Eastern time and had the "2 week" shipping time. Now it says it will arrive on October 5th. I called Apple to change my shipping option or try to change it to store pickup and they won't change it at all. Part of me wants to go to Best Buy to pre order it but I don't have faith that I would get it any sooner.

Cancelled my order with Apple. AT&T automatically reset my upgrade. I'll be waiting outside my neighborhood AT&T store on the 21st. I couldn't wait until October 5th. That's a joke. Even the rep at AT&T said that it was pointless to do it today unless you were in the first batch. He said I'd have much better luck next Friday. So that's where I'll be next Friday. Line or not. 🙂

i cant do anytihng about my order because it still wont let me access my account

Ok so just to confirm a few things for those who might benefit from knowing:

I've got off the phone to an Apple rep in the UK because my order wasn't showing up online when I tried to search for it and I pathetically got a bit panicked.

First of all, she basically said because the system is so overloaded at the moment, some parts of the site regarding order status etc aren't working properly, so if you click your order number and it's not being recognised or loading or whatever, don't panic.

Second of all, I asked what the delivery date estimates really meant and she confirmed that any orders made before 9-9:30am this morning (UK) were in the 'first batch' and were guaranteed either BEFORE or on the 21st. (She wasn't shy in reiterating that they could arrive before the launch date!) She added that those who got a 21/9 launch date delivery confirmation would DEFINITELY get them then and this date wouldn't change or slip back because "Apple didn't do that to their customers".

After 9-9:30am, delivery dates were pushed back (2 weeks) because launch date pre-orders sold out (as we know).

I'm sorry to say that those who got a 2 week delivery date from launch unfortunately won't be getting them earlier than that, as some people here have speculated. Those who got a launch day date will definitely get theirs then.

i got into my account and it says my order cant be cancelled because i used gift cards towards my orders

This my take on all is

I ordered my phone at around 145 am pacific coast

It initially said will ship in two weeks

I wanna say that this is just a standard message for all items ordered on apple

Today I checked and it's in "processing" and it will ship on 9/21

I know a lot of people cancelled because of the shipping date and would rather go in or go to best buy or Walmart but f you think about it, this is APPLE THEMSELVES so they are going to have all the inventory and the stores will only have a piece of that. Apple stores are always in metro places so of course you're going to have to wait and it's extremely possible that they will run out or they only give certain away per day.

I suggest keeping your current order so you have your place in line. They've been doing this for over 5 years now so they know what to do. Also, if they can handle making an amazing line of product and innovate the electronic industry, I'm sure they can handle the masses of an electronic preorder.

Nonetheless, hope everyone gets theirs in a smooth transaction and can't wait for the cases to start rolling out!

Also just got an email that it is confirmed to be 9/21

We have some good news concerning your recent iPhone 5 purchase. We expect it to be delivered to you on the first day of iPhone 5 availability — Friday, September 21.

The delivery date we previously sent you was not accurate.

I have yet to get an email about shipping how ever it says on my order info on Apple's website that my delivery date is 9/21. Has anyone else gotten emails about shipping yet?

No, mine still says shipping in 2 weeks. 😟

nope didnt get my shipping date

I ordered the 5 at 3:15EDT and received confirming e mail for 9/21 delivery later in the morning.
