Iphone 6 plus shipping infor?

Like many of you I'm sure I'm one of those people that woke up at 3:00 a.m to get one of those new iphone 6 plus. I ordered it of AT&T's website. This is my first time getting a new iphone since the 4s and I got that well into the iphone 4s's life. So I thought rather foolishly that I might be able to get my iphone 6 plus by the 19th when it comes out. Well that's clearly not the case, I shortly afterwards got a mail from AT&T telling me that the phone will actually ship in 21-28 business days…
So based of what happenend with previous years with the 5s and 5, will I actually have to wait 21-28 days or will the phone come to me a bit sooner?

No I did not but got the e-mail from Apple to say pre order first come first get which is fine I'm not say I will not get a new mobile and if I was going to I would get I phone 6 plus. But I rather have a holiday at this moment in time and also there's not much wrong with the one I have so I'm not rushing out or ordering online.
