I have noticed the same and in particular that the delivery dates have been shifting further out each day on the Apple site. I think it'd be fair to say that Apple have a more advanced system than EE, in that they deduct quantities on pre-order from expected shipment, which would explain why the lead time has been steadily increasing on their website this week.
EE keep passing the delays onto Apple, which to some degree is warranted. However, I struggle to believe they have no idea how many units they are expecting and how many pre-orders they have outstanding. Thereby at least setting a reasonable expectation with customers over when delivery is likely to take place. Incidentally, O2 are showing the SS on a 6 week+ lead time.
I also received a text update this morning confirming that "My Order was on track", confirming what I saw when I checked the update link last night. Having spoken to customer service, I have confirmed that this message doesn't actually mean much!
I think it's fair to say all that have ordered will eventually receive their order, whenever that may be. I hope EE firstly take some initiative to pro-actively address the poor communication, presumably some will have paid an upgrade fee which by the time they receive the item would have either been much less or zero. I'm more frustrated by the poor communication than the fact I haven't received my order.
