[Merged] The Official iPhone 3GS "I Have a Tracking Number" Thread!

Sorry it is very small but if you can read it was actually "shipped" the 12th. No tracking info yet though. By the way I am in NYC. http://tinypic.com/r/2nrllll/5

WTH, if that's true you should be getting one by wendsday for sure. I'm no parcel expert but I did work in a UPS plant for about a year. If you are in NYC and that thing shipped on the 12th you should definitely be seeing that thing before the 19th. Unless all this shipping stuff that we are seeing is just a preliminary shipping procedure where they then just hold the thing at a closer outlet and wait for 1.5 days before they ship again. I don't know. What I do know is that I be going insane if I start to see a bunch of threads titled "got mine!" before the 19th and I haven't "got mine" yet.

Where's the line item for your phone?

It also says quantity shipped 0 which doesn't make sense if it shipped Friday.

Donno. That's how I'm getting mine. I'm guessing it will arrive Thursday.

Also shows shipped on the 12th; mine has a tracking number but it isn't updated with proposed arrival date yet. Mine is going to the AT&T store anyway, so I can't get my hands on it until the 19th... but... progress is good just the same!

fireshot91 · Jun 15, 2009, 08:42 AM

Wait, did all of you order through AT&T?

malolans · Jun 15, 2009, 08:42 AM

I pre-ordered in the att store. I got a tracking number too!

TapOut · Jun 15, 2009, 08:44 AM

pre-ordered here and still has not shipped

TapOut · Jun 15, 2009, 08:49 AM

when i try and enter the tracking # in UPS it cant find it .. anyone know why

veterator · Jun 15, 2009, 08:50 AM

If you can't get it until Friday anyway does it really matter that it has shipped early. If it was shipping directly to your address and could be used early that would be exciting news.

probably because UPS hasn't picked it up yet.... The shipper just requested the shipping number... give it 6-12 hours and it will update

Well, I know at my work, we can generate labels and tracking numbers but don't have to actually give the package to the carrier. Essentially, Apple could spend 3 days printing out labels and slapping them on boxes, and then give all the boxes to Fedex when they are done, on say, Wednesday.

Also, even if they did release it today, your tracking number doesn't register in the database to track until the driver picks it up, or sometimes, when that driver goes back to his station at night.

It means they've passed it off to the carrier bit the carrier has yet to scan it into the system and ship it out.

Knowing you'll have a phone first thing Friday is a good thing. I doubt they'll give them out early, but I'll be asking.
