Apple Begins Shipping iPhone 4 to Customers

OK. Apple's Order Status still shows my wife's 32GB iPhone as shipped and my 16GB iPhone as "Prepared for Shipment".. But then, I go to Fedex.com and search by referencing our mobile numbers. My number returns a different tracking number, for a package that is in a different stage of progress.. So I get excited. Then I go back to my wife's tracking page and see that it's also my mobile number in the reference.

In addition to that, one shows that it's scheduled for deliver by 6/24/2010 4:30PM, the other say 6/23/2010 by 10:30AM...

Odd that both tracking numbers show packages that have my mobile number as the reference and nothing comes up if I search by my wife's mobile number.

So yeah.. :confused:

Im guessing The 6/23 by 1030 is IPD (Intl Priority Delivery) the 6/24 is IED (Intl Economy Delivery), so is the one by 1030 the 32gb and the 6/24 the 16gb?

I'm on your side buddy... I just replied with another post stating that it's just the entrepreneurial spirit. As you said, no one is going to be forced to buy a phone from you for $1,000. In economics I think it was called supply & demand... you (we) will have something that everyone wants but at the moment the supply is not there yet... hmm.. I'll buy yours for $1,000 and sell it for $2,000.. hehe :D

I call it fraud because this is not a thread about buying peoples preorders. Stick to topic or start your own thread.
 
Its morning now in China so shouldn't we start seeing more shipped out? Or do they ship constantly throughout the night?

It's probably using the main number on the account as the reference so what they used as the reference is probably irrelevant. Either way, you should get both on the same day. I wouldn't worry about differences right now as everything will start updating the closer to the 24th.
 
I ordered a 32GB from Apple and a 16GB from Apple... the 32GB shipped and the 16GB is prepared still as well.

It looks like the 32GB, which is the one that already moved to "in transit" is the one for the 24th. The 16GB still shows as "initiated", that's the one showing the 23rd.
 
I wonder if att and apple warned FedEx about us and beefed up their website. They must be getting crazy traffic right now.

Dude, you've asked twice on here in the same day about your situation. I know we all want our iP4's ASAP, but give it a moment.

It's obvious from what you posted that AT&T has your order and it hasn't shipped yet if they 1)haven't put a hold on your account to see if you have the funds 2)you haven't received an e-mail about it.

This thread is about orders from Apple.com being shipped to those who pre-ordered, if you want direct help about the AT&T process then go into a properly titled thread (or use SEARCH!).

everyone needs to just calm the heck down about forum etiquette, just cause he's asking a slightly unrelated question doesn't mean we have to be rude about it.

your probably right BUT theres a chance they will. Ill look over the "out-bound report" when i get in in the morning. But im guessing the ones saying is delivered on the 23rd are International Priorities (1030am) and the one for the 24th are Intl Econmoy (430pm).

Til you what ill let you know for sure tomorrow and if im wrong Ill apologize to you personally.

Im really going by what people are saying on here and when the package is actually scanned as a " Pickup" and not by "Package Processed"

Same here. Even though it will probably arrive by the time I get home anyway, I'm going to take off the whole day just in case. XD

Knowing our luck the itunes servers will crap out on the 24th and we'll all be waiting to activate

We've know for a little over a week now. Theres an apple warehouse where i live that got a hugh shipments (30 big boxes) of iphone for the best buy/ att stores!

Maybe they could teach att and apple something then.

Absolutely. The iPhone 4 pre-order was an unmitigated debacle.

Both Apple and AT&T should be ashamed at how poorly this went (and I'm a shareholder of both companies). These are Fortune 500 companies running big-iron RDBMS systems like Oracle, SAP, whatever. They should be able to handle thousands of transactions a second.
 
Mine has been shipped and is due on the 24:) But I won't get it until July 1 because I will be in Hawaii on vacation. I don't seem to be getting much sympathy. I know, I know i'm a jerk.

You better have a neightbor sign for it, or call 800# and tell them youll be out of town and do a HOLD FOR PICKUP! Fedex will do 3 (24th, 25th, 28th) attempts after that will be hold for 2 days for pick up. then if still not picked up itll be sent back to apple in Cal on Friday or Monday!
