Still stuck in preparing for shipping.
Ordered an unlocked tmobile 16GB gold on apple web site.
1-3 business day window with delivery dates Sept 30th-October 2nd
Received confirmation email at 2:05.
Payment went through on Saturday when status changed to preparing for shipment.
Am I the last one to have ordered before 2:05 and still not shipped?:mad:
I really want to get it shipped fast to receive before the weekend:(

Forgot to say I also ordered Apple care. I haven't seen many phones already shipped w/Apple care. Is that why it is slower?
What do you all think?:confused:

My hats off to Apple & UPS. I honestly didn't think this was possible. Using DFW and not Alliance airport, holding the Denton trucks to after 7 a.m. when they normally get away around 6 a.m. Color me impressed.

Its really good to hear that they can get it to DFW area in that time! I'm in Dallas and my phone is a day behind yours and I was really doubting that they could get it to me by tomorrow.
 
I think the flight that our iphones are on from korea to anchorage is taking off right now. Hopefully no missed connections tonight in louisville

I bought AppleCare on both phones that I ordered and they have both shipped (both in Korea right now). Ordered AT&T 64G grey and AT&T 32G silver, 3:05am and 3:07am eastern.

I ordered a 64 GB Silver 5s T-Mobile/Unlocked with Apple Care+. Confirmation email received at 12:08 PST, scheduled delivery for Thursday.

I'm guessing because the flight from ZhengZhou is filled exclusively with iPhones (about 450,000 of them), and there isn't enough cargo space on the regular Incheon > Anchorage route (UPS 99) to hold them all. Furthermore, some people have reported that their phones are being delivered by FedEx, and it's likely that some of these planes are holding Apple Retail stock as well, so those planes could be landing in cities other than Louisville in order to get stock to stores more efficiently.

I believe all the FedEx deliveries have been orders via carriers' online stores, not apple's.
 
Hey all ,

I requested an address change yesterday and now my tracking info shows this. Is there a possibility this is going to delay the shipping? Anyone had any experience?

Thank you

I ordered AppleCare for both of our phones. Our phones are in Korea right now. I don't think it made it any slower.
ETA: 32 GB Silver AT&T (3:07 AM) and 32 GB Space Grey AT&T (3:10 AM).

It's obvious that the 32gb gold vzw phone was absolutely the wrong phone to order. Even though it said 1-3 days, I haven't seen ANY ship yet. Mine is still preparing to ship too, and I was in at 12:02. This really stinks... No iphone this week, it appears. If they don't ship out tomorrow, it will be the first time I've ordered from apple.com where they don't meet their own conservative estimates. :(

I also ordered the 32GB Gold Verizon and I called Apple yesterday to get my $10 for expedited shipping refunded. The rep couldn't give me any updates other than she hoped that Apple would be able to deliver it by the 30th. It's still in the same status as Saturday.
 
I should have never ordered a case with my phone. My phone shipped the day after the case, yet my phone will be here today, and my case, via FedEx SmartPost seemingly wont be here until early October.

My phone can go from China to Korea to Alaska to KY to FL in 2 days, but my case is sitting in MS and I have another 10 days before it gets here?? I could walk into my local Apple store right now and get a case. :confused:
 
AT&T 64gb Space Grey w / AppleCare ... Ordered processed email 3:12 am Friday

Well I can't understand why the delay then.
I don't think I have seen a gold 16gb tmobile shipped so maybe it's a model shortage.
In the past I would order as soon as the web site opened (or the app). I had AT&T and always received the phone on the first possible day or even 2 days before (for the iphone 4).
If I weren't saving so much with tmobile I would have stayed with AT&T and kept my unlimited plan.
Hoping it ships this morning and I get it before the weekend.
Fingers crossed:eek:
 
I also am in the 1-3 day shipping group.

I ordered a gray 32GB AT&T model at 5:16 AM EST (2:16 AM Pacific Time)
It's been in preparing for shipment mode since Sept 22.

Any people order when I did or after whose phones have shipped?

I almost ordered from AT&T business premier but when I saw the 7-10 day shipping estimate I ordered from Apple. Looks like I made a mistake based on posts here from other AT&T premier customers.

Depends on how far the new address is from the original address. And where the package is in the process. The earlier you make the change the better. I have done this a couple of times. Changing the package to go from my home address to my work address. Majority of the time there was no delay, but a couple of times it delayed it by a day.
 
For anybody who has ever picked up their phone at the UPS center, when is it usually available for pick up? Around the same time they usually go out for delivery? Hopefully not the next day!
