iPhone 5 preorder says it will ship in two weeks

Hmmmmm How did your wife get a 9/21 date at 10:45? I ordered before that and got the crappy 2 week notice with Delivery on 10/5. I give up.

you got me! but I double checked to be sure! I forgot to mention I ordered from the Att Carrier site not apple!

I have not technically got a delivery notice yet. It says the 21st on the reciept but thats it. My Status when from Pending to Pending Processing to Processing all today.

Ahhh that explains it. I knew I should have ordered from AT&T. I guess I felt the Apple site would have enough for those who pre-ordered on Launch Day. DOH !!!!

So my order has been stuck on processing items for the past two days and has yet to change to anything involved with shipping. My friends phone already has a tracking number and is being shipped and I had gotten my order in before him. I'm curious as to where this leaves me... It still says 9/21 shipping date. I just don't see that happening if it hasn't begun to ship. Thoughts anyone??

Been where you are. I've read others having their status changed, while mine was stuck in processing. Mine changed last night so I'm guessing it's done in waves. As long as you have your 9/21 date, you're fine. In fact, mine had standard shipping but it changed to holiday shipping.

Well im screwed. this morning my order went back to pending because they could not validate credit card even though they already charged it. I ordered my wifes at 11am and get this she is getting hers oon the 21st. bunch of crap. they said that if you order two phones sometimes the bank will cancel one thinking its a duplicate charge. I call BS but at least they put it in priority status seeing ive been with ATT so long. My wifes is waiting to be shipped. UHG my luck. I order at 7am and I get pushed. Hope you all are having better luck than me.

I ordered mine early Friday and the first notice I recieved stated that I would get it on the 21st. I then got another notice telling me two weeks and instead of the 21st it is now Oct 5. I am disappointed but there is nothing I can do. I even called Apple and they said that was too bad but there was nothing they could do. The rep then suggested that if I wanted one on the 21st, that I could go to my nearest Apple store early and wait in line to see if I could get one. I told her that I am a teacher and had to work. She suggested getting a substitute so I could do that. That is a ridiculous suggestion. I would like it on release day, but I am not going to pay a substitute out of my own pocket just to "try" to get it on release day. So congratulations to those who went without sleep and were in the lucky group confirmed to get thiers on the 21st. Just don't rub it in others faces who didn't or had the date changed through no fault of their own. I am disappointed, but my disappointment won't change anything.

All you whiners. Lol...

Should have ordered sooner. I got my order in at 2:04AM CST and mine will be here by the 21st. Right now my status says, "Preparing for Shipment." Bam!

I wish I did order earlier. Actually, I ignored my alarm somehow and woke up two hours past the release to my dismay. But bragging about your order status isn't going to help anyone and you just seem like a tool. I bet if your iPhone said this order status you would be "whining" too. Also I would apprichiate order status updates from anyone with the "ships in two weeks" status.

I ordered mine at 3:01am on the preorder date. lol. I didn't submit it until 3:15am because I wanted to be sure I still got the same unlimited data on ATT. I refuse to change it until all my friends get the iPhone5 and they can all facetime over cell networks. I got the email that says Available to ship: Delivers 9/21. and it still says the same on the website... but it still says "preparing for shipment" on the order page... I'm just thinking if it's supposed to be here friday, and they're using UPS, it would've had to ship already coming from CA to NY.... sooooooo now idk maybe im not getting it on 9/21...

Go to UPS.com and search for a package by "Reference." Type in your phone number, country and zip code. Your package has already shipped I bet. The apple website is slow to update if it shipped by UPS. I found my shipment this way. Try that.

I ordered mine at 3am eastern. I'm one of the many who got screwed into having a 2 week delay. Yours says the 21st and it says preparing to ship. Mine still says processing. So get off this thread because you'll get yours on the 21st. This thread is for people who have a 2 week wait time with no fault of our own. Thanks.

Shut up tool. I'm sure you are only saying you ordered yours at 3am to have a reason to ***** for not ordering yours at the earliest time. However, preorders weren't even available at 3am. They were available at 3:01am.

Read reply #2 from first page. I ordered mine right after 3, after refreshing and it let us in. It had the store down and it came up. I ordered right as soon as I could. And like many people here, the shipment date the entire order process said Sept 21st, then when ordered change to 2 weeks. It ***** but it's what it is.
