Verizon Iphone 5 order is taking a while to process?

Hey so i ordered my iphone 5 16gb on the 15h.day after official preorders at my local verizon store and we did everything got the information and all i had to do is wait… Little did i know that i didn't see the delivery date which said on the online tracking order page "Expected Shipping Date 10/5/12" and i was like WHAT? And now when i check from time to time it still says "We have received your order and it is in process"! C'mon i know there wasn't that many iphones to sell but really i have to wait that long? And i have yet to get an order confirmed and is on the way email. All i have is a order received email. I'm sorry but i'm a very impatient person haha. So if you have any info feel free to give me some answers As soon as possible!

Should've bought it from a store, I went to a local store and they had enough for me to buy it right there. But yes it will take a while for online orders, I know people who ordered off apple who still haven't received.
