apple.com iphone 4 order!! goes from not shiped to prepared for shipment!!!!!

[Craiger]

On Apple's order status page you can view the last 18 months of orders so I looked at my 3gs order. It shipped the 16th via UPS "Worldwide Services". This means some if not all should ship Monday if they follow the same pattern.

Can anybody else look at their 3gs pre-orders?

My order was one of the first to be backordered, it says ships by July 2nd. But it says prepared for shipment also. If it's already in a box with my name on it, why can't I get it on the 24th? It's not like it's not made yet!! Is anyone else getting this?

That's interesting actually. I bet you get it on the 24th. why would they prepare it if it wasn't going out soon.

Everyone who has a delivery date of June 24 and is freaking out because there status has not changed needs to settle down. If I worked at Apple and you called in asking why your online status has not changed yet I would probably call a mental institution and recommend they pay you a visit. They say they will deliver on the 24th. Until you do not receive it that day, CALM DOWN.

Every year we go through the same idiotic posts and 99.9% of the people get them as promised. The only one's who don't get them are because of some carrier fault or fault of their own (not being home etc...)

I don't think I can take this forum anymore until after next Thursday.

I really hope so. I'm leaving for vacation on the 2nd and wouldn't get it for yet another week if it shipped that day. This seems like the longest week of my life.

It'll be bad next Thursday with people worrying about activation.

And remember that Apple is good at preparing you for the worst and then surprising you. Maybe they didn't know if they could get them out by June 24th so they just said July 2 just in case.

I clicked on the tracking number to get the "worldwide service". I couldn't find that exact service on their website though. It might be something special between them and apple. i couldn't find a service that shipped overnight from asia. I didn't look too hard though. I was just curious to see if most peoples shipped on the 16th suggesting we should get tracking number Monday.

What's funny is my iPhone says prepared for shipment but my bumper says not yet shipped.

 

[kevharris]

omg

omg, mine is prepared for shipment as well - delivers Jun 24th.

PYSCHED!

 

[MrD1sturbed]

Ok here's a good one for ya. I checked my status just a few minutes ago and it's prepared for shipment. No big surprise EXCEPT I placed my order @ 7:37pm on day 1 and it was actually showing in the July 2nd batch!

It still shows ships by July 2nd, but i'm a lot more hopeful now!

Uh-oh.

Mine is still showing "not yet shipped." Ordered at 6:44 AM PDT for Delivery on June 24.

Should I be worried now that some people with "ships by July 2nd" are having theirs prepared for shipment?

 

[bwlucas]

"Prepared for Shipment" Woohoo!

You are not alone, as I placed by order at 1:51 PM (Cali time) and it still hasn't updated fro "Not yet shipped." Now, if it showed this and a change from the 24th Delivery, then I would be concerned.

Can someone expalin why Apple charged my card and then uncharged it? When will they charge it for good? Can someone remember from previous years?

Ps: my order shows as prepared for shipment, ordered on June 15, 4.26 pm

they held the amount to make sure your card had the available funds.

Can people not read? When it says ships BY july 2nd that means it can ship july 2nd or any time before.

 

[euphoneia]

what time of day

quick question: what time of day have they historically delivered devices? I have a gig at 9 am until 2, wondering if I should trade shifts with someone.

it depends on your carrier..... there is no answer to that at all... assume it will come around the same time fedex/ups always comes..

 

[HarrisonB]

even though last year they were overnight express and mine came at 10am when it usually comes at 5pm

Unless a lot of people on your guy's route who dont usually get packages bought an iPhone 4.

 

[Potheadhero]

Quite a few people seem to be freaking out. Lol. I look forward to Thursday. Like they say good things come to those who wait and to think i'm waiting on two iPhone 4s and a Nexus one. Should be an interesting week. Now what's ridiculous is that guy that's already standing in line in Texas. I think he has been there since Thursday.
