Dear Apple Store Customer,

You recently received a Shipment Notification email from Apple advising you that your iPhone has shipped.

This email is to confirm that your delivery will occur on June 23rd. Although Apple and FedEx tracking information may currently indicate a later date, you can check the FedEx website the morning of the June 23rd to track your package to your doorstep.

In the event that you will not be available to accept delivery on June 23rd, it may be more convenient to use our pre-sign delivery option by visiting our Order Status website at .




Sincerely,

The Apple Store Team:apple:

just got my email is anyone else concerned with the bolded part"


It kind of seems like apple wouldn't let an email like that slip out as they all seem to have good grammar however who knows.... won't change my life, I'll be home both days :)

Interesting. I can confirm it came internally from Apple's mail servers. It isn't a third-party sending this email. I hope the bad grammar is just a mistake Apple made. The other explanation would be someone inside Apple is trying to mess with everyone.

Pre-order placed on the 15th at 4:52 PM PDT.

Received this email tonight at 10:58 PM PDT. Fedex flight from ANC to OAK arrived at 10:09 PM.

I received my email tonight too and my order was placed at 4:45 pm pst and my order still says that it is in transit in Alaska. What do you think this means?

I got the same email. I was taking off work, now I don't know if I should be taking tomorrow off or Thursday... :confused:
 
Thanks for the tip. I am getting mine on the 23rd. It's been confirmed.

Take a look through the rest of the thread. There have been others showing a delivery date of 6/23/10. The general consensus is that FedEx will hold them until the 24th.

well... considering that apple is the one saying it will be delivered on the 23rd and not the 24th. They also say don't pay attention to tracking from fedex or apple until the 23rd...

I guess the only way to tell is to see what the 23rd has to offer... unless apple sends out another email saying (we're sorry... the 24th is the date)

****EDIT

An interesting thought is that apple is sending out some pre-orders early to avoid congestion with the servers on launch day.
 
Arrival A Day Early Confirmed!

I got this at 1:41am EST from Apple.

Apple can send any email they want about 23rd, but I don't know how they can guarantee that Fedex will do so. The most likely delivery date is what Fedex is listing on their track page. Mine says June 24, and in fact, my phone has not reached Anchorage yet. So it's not going to reach my house tomorrow. I am quite sure. Even though I got the email from apple about 23rd delivery.

Mine is in my area. I am guessing Apple contacted FedEx and told them to release the hold on Wednesday and not Thursday.

It can reach your house tomorrow. My phone left Hong Kong yesterday, arrived in Anchorage, and then went to Newark where it currently sits in one day( if it wasn't being held, it would have been trucked to my local facility for delivery today). My 27" iMac did it in similar fashion. Left Shanghai on Tuesday and I got it on Wednesday.

The orders that arrived midday in Anchorage yesterday got to memphis around midnight last night, that would be plenty of time if yours wasnt in AK yet this morning, but was on the way now, to make it there midday today and then to memphis tonight and from memphis to your local destination overnight for your delivery tomorrow morning.
 
Prepared for shippment

So with all these emails is there anyone that's still in prepared for shipment purgatory? Been there since Saturday afternoon and I am starting to think something may be wrong since all I see on here is people with shipping notices and cancelations. Thanks just want to know if I should be worried.

I'm in the same boat. I placed two identical orders within a few minutes of each other around 4pm PDT on the 15th, via Apple. Got both confirmations about 2 hours later and then both went to prepared for shipment around the same time, probably on Saturday.

But now one has shipped and is in Alaska with a FedEx delivery date of 6/23 before 10:30 am, and the other still says prepared for shipment.
 
Order via AT&T, said UPS will deliver by 5pm TODAY(June 22)

Got the shipped email yesterday from AT&T with UPS tracking #, but no tracking info on UPS site. Called AT&T Order hotline, the pre-recorded message said UPS will deliver by 5pm June 22 (I played it back twice just to make sure it said 22nd). But I highly doubt it will be today since everyone else getting it tomorrow?
 
I'm starting to get nervous, as mine has been stuck here for ages.

As of right now, 11:30am or so here (EDT) it's still like this.

Anyone else experiencing this? For reference, I'm in upstate NY, so I'd expect it to be hitting Newark next based on other posts.

I am in the same boat... Both of mine are saying 1:11 and 1:30 Local time in Alaska... No updates since. But I did get an email saying it would be delivered on the 23rd. Bot sure if this is a case of Fedex not updating tracking information, or if it is truly stuck in Hong Kong or Alaska...
 
I got the 23rd email too. My phone is still stuck in AK. Weird thing is that the payment has been returned to my bank account after showing "pending" for withdrawal since the 16th. Has my order been cancelled? I ordered the night of the 15th and got my email confirmation about 6 hours later. Any insight would help. Thanks.

Still in prepared for shipment :(
 
Just some info for people that it may help.

Preordered-The 15th via premier at 9am eastern
Rcvd Confirmation email
Checked FedEx this morning and states being shipped 6/23 by 3:00pm

Just called FedEx to confirm where they were shipping it to because I put my office as the shipping address which differs from my billing and they confirmed to my work address and will be here on 6/23 by 3pm and no holds will be placed.

He even said if its not received by 6/23 to call them back to get status of why its not here.

I hope this info helps and sheds a little light for some of the shipping questions. Hopefully tomorrow but I will be pessimistic and still keep the 24th as the date so Im pleasantly surprised tomorrow if it comes. :D
