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

Hey buddy,


I don't know if you watched the iPhone 5 video or not, but the chances of faulty iPhones this time around are SLIM. Jony Ive said it himself, with 28MP cameras scanning the unibody of every iPhone 5 to the T, there has never been any phone or any product that even Apple has made with such precision. Stop trying to ruin it for all of those who will be getting our phones on the 21st. Grow up.

Mine (along with a whole shipment out of Foxcon in China) arrived in Louisville, KY last night around midnight, and it hasn't moved since.


I have a feeling, since this is a major UPS hub, that they are being collected there and will start to trickle flood out to the rest of the country starting Wednesday or so. Despite the long journey from China to Hong Kong to Korea to Alaska to Kentuckee, my Apple Order page still says "Preparing for Shipment," which is why I think that; Apple won't consider them "shipped" until they leave KY.

This is where I officially depart from this thread. Good luck to eveyone.


For the record, my posts were never intended to discourage those that are getting their phones on time. Ruining the experience never crossed my mind, especially since nobody has a phone in their hand yet. I simply wanted to comfort and help those going through my very same experience.


As far as my statement regarding possible flawed phones, there most certainly will be. But once again, this was not intended to ruin the experience. I was simply comforting those in my same situation.


Growing up and signing out as requested.

No Apple will not sent your tracking # until a day before delivery, I remember when they ship iPhone 4 FexEx website crushed numerous times due high volume of people tracking their iPhone 4. I have same thing still says "Preparing for Shipment," while the package left AK;

Hi, I ordered mine after they took the Store down due to the high demand on the 12th, around 17:00 UK time and have been given a delivery date of the 1st October.

To those of you who have been through this process with the 4S and its predecessors, are these dates usually accurate? Im just wondering if its likely to be delivered earlier (between the 21st September and the 1st October)??


Thanks in advance
