I'm pretty much in the exact same situation (including dates) except I ordered the 32 GB Graphite. I also did free shipping.
Excited to get mine today!
the wait is almost over

Please do yourself a favor and read the last 48 hrs or so of this thread. This argument has been made a ridiculous amount of times.
There are some explanations on how this happens but at the end of the day don't worry about what the other kids on the playground get to do and just worry about you and your order.
I am beyond angry that orders of 64 GB Aluminium model placed days after mine, and quoted a delivery date a week after mine have been processed, shipped, and are getting there, yet mine is stuck in pending hell. Google CSR is telling me they are all out of stock. Well idiots, if you knew you were running out, why not process the early orders before the later ones. Damn.

There's not 1 line in 1 location making 1 model of phone and delivering to 1 location. They also don't make the phones and then decide where they go. When you make an order the tracking starts then and you are assigned to a plant and at the mercy of that location and any problems they have.How is the idea of FIFO filling for a single model from the same warehouse a ridiculous argument, and an unrealistic expectation. Once a phone comes from the back of the warehouse to the front, they have to decide whose phone it is. If it's an Aluminium 64 GB phone, and you have 100,000 of these orders to fill, why not fill the earliest order first?
The restaurant analogy has already been shot down as well. In a restaurant all the meals are made in 1 kitchen and delivered to 1 place. There's no tracking system and the patrons are not glued to a forum comparing themselves constantly.So... IF you walked into a restaurant and ordered your meal before the dinner rush or right at the start of it and while you were sitting waiting other parties came in and ordered, after awhile you see those other parties getting their meals you wouldn't be concerned? What if as you are voicing your concern to others at your table a person from another table comes over and tells that you are just being ridiculous and just worry about your own order while they walk out fed and happy.
Here is another analogy... What if you ordered a certain meal item and the waiter told you it would take 30 mins... meanwhile others are ordering the SAME meal after you and then they get their meals quickly.... you ask the waiter and his answer is... well I did tell you 30 mins and it has been just 20....
Sorry but delay in stock is one thing, but shipping a certain stock out of order to some is another.
Does your tracking information show any progress? I'm getting delivery to NJ, supposedly tomorrow, but the only entry on the tracking page is "Shipment Info Sent to FedEx" yesterday at 6:42 PM.

I think processing is supposed to only happen when you're phone is ready to ship.My charge is still pending on my bank account as well, hasn't gone to a finalised charge in 48 hours. I wonder if there is something going on with the 32GB Graphite running out of supply this batch. That's like four of us, ordered early on launch day, sitting in processing for two days. They're chucking Aluminum models out the door faster than you can count... makes you wonder if we'll get an email about a delay soon.
Cool, I have the same coming. It's on the local truck due anytime. And I didn't pay for fast shipping, but it shipped out yesterday. Overnight for free!I've got my 64GB Graphite in hand. Delivered at 9am.
Located in MA.
