I'm really starting to get worried! My VZW 32gb gold is still "preparing for shipment" Anne my order confirmation was :02. It also went to this status about the same time as everyone else's who has already shipped. I also paid the extra $10 for expedited shipping. Bummed.
It wouldn't be a credit card issue at this stage, would it? I mean, if it is prepared for shipping, it should already have cleared payment, right? The reason I ask is because there have been times in the past where the automatic fraud detection had delayed a payment without even a notification....
If mine doesn't ship today, I probably won't even get it this week.![]()
I'm in the same exact situation you're in. What did you order?
I ordered a 32gb gold on verizon, and I live in the Midwest if that has anything to do with it. Hopefully it gets shipped out today.
Yes, exactly the same! 32gb gold on vzw. Also in the Midwest (Illinois). Now I wonder if it's because of the 32 GB gold version on vzw, or because we're in the Midwest? Lol. At least I don't feel alone anymore! Hehe

Just shipped out now. 32 GB Silver T-Mobile. What the hell.
I'll be calling Apple to ask them why I'm being treated as a second class citizen to those people that had their phones shipped yesterday![]()
Apple just announced 9 million iPhones were sold over the weekend! So please, stop complaining if your particular phone is only arriving three days ahead of the originally promised delivery date instead of four!
Apple's logistics are incredible!
That really depends how safe your delivery location is. It will be left at your door, first floor of your building, or whatever. If it gets stolen at that point you are SOL.
Only 8 hours and 40 minutes until my phone is wheels down in Alaska.

I have no idea where my phone is right now. lol

I ordered 2 32GB Space Grey 5S on Friday at 3:02 am EST and got the 1-3 day shipping estimate arriving Sept 30-Oct 2nd. However, I got the shipping notice yesterday with Sept 26th from Apple. The Fed Ex tracking is saying tomorrow Sept 24th! I am in the Boston area.
So basically if one pre-signs , the ups guy can just say he delivered and keep the phone (steal) ?... Can one pre-sign for someone else to wait for the phone and have some sort of confirmation it was left with someone ...
mine too!
Hoping for tomorrow as my kid has to drive 4 hours to pick it up
How? Most phones are still in zhengzhou? What does your UPS tracking state?
Here's mine not sure if it will make it Tuesday ?

You have got to be kidding me. They are getting your phone to you what appears to be three to five full days EARLIER than the original delivery estimate, and you're going to harass some employee for being treated like a "second class citizen" because some people might get their shipment before you? Seriously? Truly, the entitlement displayed by many people here is sickening.
It's a phone. It's not a kidney for your dying child. If they were getting it to you late, I'd see a phone call in order, but they're shipping MILLIONS of phones...do you really think someone should be employed when they're shipping a batch of 32GB spaced gray phones and have someone say, "nope...can't ship that...order 435,554 completed checkout 2.8 seconds earlier than this one...we gave to go get the palette of 64GB gold ones.
If they did that, none of us would be getting our phones until late next week. This is a massive logistical operation. It makes far more sense to ship in batches.
Poor kid! Haha

Damn, you have little trust. I doubt a UPS guy would keep something that's been scanned into his possession by the hub. There are some places like apartment buildings, where leaving something on the front door mat is a bad idea. You must be the judge of your location.
