Apple Begins Shipping iPhone 4 to Customers

Qoo said:
So that means Apple shipped their phones out first and then charge on the 24th?? what if the credit card decline? they just simply call you for a new card or you will not receive the phone on the 24th??

If Apple tries to charge your CC prior to shipping and its declined, they will cancel your order PERIOD. No phone calls. No second tries. Just a cancellation email. It happened to me on the first round of iPad shipments because between the time of the pre-order and actually shipping, my CC was stolen and I got a new one. I called Apple and they would not change the billing info to use my new CC. I was screwed. Fortunately, I was able to order another iPad online and got it right on schedule. Not the case with the iPhone 4.
 
I'm happy to have a reserve and not stressing over the shipping status. I'll be away July for 2 weeks n want to have it before then. Surly didn't want it shipped while away. Anyway.... Good luck to all with shipments. How often are you guys checking? Every day, every 6 hours, every 2 hours, every hour, half, every 15 minutes!!!! Ha! I've been there! I remember someone from 3G launch was able to see how many times he viewed the shipping page and it was something like 900 times in a matter of a few days!!!!! :eek:
 
anyone my order was part of the back log and was placed 6/16 an an att store. i was wondering if any since i am still in quantity ordered is there anyone out there that has a shipment conformation

so i went to my apple store tonight and there was a cop standing guard. it's super weird because this apple store is in a ritzy mall and i've never seen a cop anywhere on that campus. he was just standing at the entrance of the apple store "standing guard" apparently. hmmm, i wonder if people have been making threats or something

Maybe they were receiving their shipment of iPhones.
 
yea woke up this morning to get my email as well, cool. The crappy part is I'm last on the delivery schedule for FedEx. I even offered FedEx the chance to feel up my wife but it was a no go.
 
Just got my notification. Says it will be delivered by 10:30am on the 23rd. I'm sure that won't be the case, they will probably just hold at the local facility for the Thursday delivery.

i wish everyone would stop obsessing whether its bad or not that your iphone hasnt shipped yet....it will ship.be patient. no news is good news.if they havent notified u, then give them time to scan all those shiny iphones into their tracking system to be shipped.theyre only human and they are probably working real hard to get us spoiled brats our phones lol.seeing all these temper tantrums and ppl stating when they ordered their phone and the face that it hasnt been shipped yet is amusing.

patience people.:D

I'm thinking shipping date has something to do with shipping distances and such. If they're shipping ground, it would take longer to get from China to New York than to San Francisco.

I didn't think it was possible to drive from china to america, will wonders never cease?

You have to remember that FedEx ships thousands of packages a day and Apple ships thousands of packages a day. Somewhere in there is your status update on a server. :D

I wanted to change the shipping address to my work so I could get it earlier in the day but it said during the checkout process that it had to be delivered to the billing address...

Me too, but I was able to change the address after ordering before it was prepared for shipment.

What the crap. Yours is IP direct, but mine is International Economy? Why did Apple cheap out on me?
 
if i reserved my iPhone for in-store pickup do you think it will be available before the 24th if everyone else seems to be getting them early too?
 
Mine just shipped - ordered at 7:35 PM PDT on Tuesday. Apple's email says June 23 delivery, but FedEx says June 24 by 4:30 PM.

They even got the phone number right. I'm switching to AT&T from T-Mobile (my first smart phone, yay!) and was worried they would assign me a new phone number instead of porting my old number like I asked. AT&T's servers couldn't seem to verify the portability of the number on Tuesday, but it looks like they got it right. :)

why do people always think they know everything on this site? they charged my CC and it was declined because the CC company thought it was fraud, i checked the status and it was NOT canceled, just said needs attention, so i gave a debit card, was approved, and changed to prepared for shipment yesterday.
