My sister and I ordered at the same time. She got a shipment notification and I did not. Hmm wonder why...
 
Yep. Just got mine as well. Shows delivers on the 23rd also. I'm not holding my breath about that but I guess I can hope.
 
What is interesting is that while the tracking numbers are not in FED EX's system, it is Apple reporting that it delivers by the 23rd, not fedex.

Wouldn't it be interesting if Apple, to avoid the ATT system problems of last week, and of previous years, decided to let some subset of preorders (say the ones through their website which is the ones they can control most easily) arrive on the 23rd to ease the activations systems for all the ATT.com and retail store phones on the 24th.
 
I'm not sure about orders from att, but mine was done through Apple and I got an email. When I clicked on the track shipment link, it took me to FedEx's website which says that shipping info has been sent to fedex...didn't see anything about where it was being shipped from, etc. It does say an estimated delivery time of 4:30pm EST for me though! :D
 
Man this sucks. I didn't even get "order ready for shipment" until today. Why am I so unlucky?

Ummm yeah please see most of the front page threads for your reality check

It's 11:30am Sunday in China, maybe they're starting ship stuff off. Just a theory
 
I ordered 2 32GB phones. The one ordered at 4:15pm PDT shipped. The one ordered at 1:00pm PDT is Prepared for Shipment still.

Glad to see they are starting to move! I only WISH it was coming the 23rd like it says... :(
 
I just got a shipment notification for my wife's iPhone. The order was placed at 3:44 PM PDT on Tuesday. Shipping via FedEx, and it currently says "Delivers by Jun 23, 2010", though of course FedEx will hold it until the 24 in reality.

My order, which was placed at 3:31 PM PDT, changed to "prepared to shipping" 24 hours after my wife's, but I expect to see it ship soon too.
 
So, excuse my ignorance. If I see on the tracking page that the item is at my local FedEx down the street, how can they keep it from me if I walk down there and say hey, I see you have my delivery, give it to me... even if it is the 23rd.

If Apple put 'do not release until the 24th' instructions on it, then they will not.
 
yeah i ordered 3 phones one at 4:15 am , 6 am, 8am central time and i still have not gotten any emails :( but they do say prepared to be shipped.
