iPhone 5 Pre-Order Delivery Date

I pre-ordered iPhone 5 32 GB black CDMA version, at about 7 central time this morning, and website says it will be delivered on October 5. If this is true, I am extrememly unhappy. Could it arrive sooner than that time?


Thanks

If you already paid for the contract price, you can't just walk into an Apple store and pick up another. As for me tracking it, I think it is super interesting to see how global transit works and before now, never had a reason to see it all.


Side note, you're obviously interested enough to sort through 17 pages of responses...if you are so patient, why not just wait for the email update?

Found this interesting, thought I'd share:


I'm one of the "lucky" ones to recieve my iPhone on the 21st. Now if you all have heard about the scuffing problem, I got one of those iPhones. Unfortunately 😟


Anyway, called Apple, and I'll just get to the point: I'm having a brand new one (factory sealed, in original packaging) sent to me on Monday and will arrive by Wednesday. It's coming from Apple in CA.


Just found it interesting that I didn't need to wait 3 weeks for a replacement. The supervisor said they had a bunch over at Apple CA.

My delivery date has been moved from October 5, now to September 28. Here's my UPS info so far:

Do you think my order is on a plane right now, and how can I find out which flight my order is on, if there are multiple flights from UPS to the same place at slightly different times?


Thanks

I was in the 10/5 original expected delivery date group.I ordered around 12 hours in.


Mine was updated to shipped on Saturday and the tracking info is as above, it left China late Saturday night. The estimated delivery date seems to be 9/28 now but based on how quickly the other units moved from China to delivered...they move from China to South Korea in less than a day and then move to Alaska within the day. They go out multiple times a day on UPS plane UPS61 from Alaska to Louisville, KY to the World Hub for UPS. You can track that plane at http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS61/history/20120917/2248Z/PANC/KSDF and see when it's shuttling between the two airports. I would guess I'll have my phone by Monday or Tuesday but here's what I have.

That's strange because I ordered two hours in and my UPS tracking is as follows:

I wonder why yours got to Hong Kong before mine? I just hope I get it by wednesday. Also, mine shipped early this Morning which is also strange considering I ordered before you. EDIT: I ordered 16 GB Black ATT

It could be related to the model you ordered. 64g Black here. And it could be that not all UPS statuses are updated regularly.
