Both of my AT&T 32GB's arrived in Anchorage, Arkansas at 3:06 PM today

Has there been a case where a phone was delivered more than 1 day early? I know with the 4's my friend got his the day before the release day but...
 
Well, after some haggling with UPS on their chat.. and a phone call from a supervisor.

I am able to pickup my iPhone at my local hub on 9:30AM on 9/19/2012

LOL Ok, just kidding about the 9/19 but they are allowing me to pick it up on 9/21 at 9:30 at my local hub. That way I do not have to wait until the end of the day to get my precious iPhone 5 =)

Now, As soon as I see on the tracking info that my iphone is at the local hub before 9/21 I am going to go in there and try my luck at just picking it up then. I am fully prepared to bring 40 or 50 bucks in an attempt to possibly bribe one of the UPS employees.
 
Can you believe I live across the street from a UPS hub and I bet they'll come at 7pm EST like always. I'm their last stop.

Finally got tracking info ...thanks to using the advice on here..used my phone number on ups tracking by reference page...its in Kentucky now headed to me in louisana!!! it's shipping Ups next day air saver .. No where on that page does it say a signature is required and there is nowhere on there to presign for it, called ups and they said it's up to the driver to decide if I need to sign for it??.
. They normally leave my packages on front porch so hopefully they will this time!!..but I will leave a big sign telling them to leave it,I live in the country so I'm not worried about it getting stolen.....long story short does any body else know about this?

AT&T 16g White

All of my pkg's from Apple have always required a signature.....even the FireWire to Thunderbolt required a signature, LOL

Ok, just to keep everything clear. If your order says preparing for shipment, then it might have already shipped.

Go to www.ups.com

Tracking>Track Shipments>Track by Reference

Enter your phone number>Change Date to 21st>Country>Zip Code

Track!

Tried every possible combo. Just to be clear, it still doesn't show up.
 
My order still shows "Preparing for Shipment."

So I followed the advice here and typed in my phone number, destination country, and ZIP in the "Search by Refence" pane. It shows that it arrived in Anchorage earlier today and is still on schedule for 9/21 delivery EOD.

I purchased the 64GB black AT&T phone at 3:33AM EST last Friday.

:D:D:D

Did you say the phone is listed in your "My Support Profile" page on Apple? If not its probably not in the shipping system yet.

Some had to use the master phone number on the carrier account to track. That's the phone number I had to use.
 
The serial number info page says my phone is a 7th Generation...did I miss something?

Nope, not yet. But it took a while to show it left Hong Kong.
Since I'm in eastern US, you'd think they'd ship it thru Louisville not Ontario

Mine was on that shipment and hasn't left either. I live in WA state, so I'm not sure what the next connection would be. Ontario, CA would make the most sense, I guess.

Mine looks like it's coming from IL as well. Distribution center maybe? Based on the serial number, mine was built in China during the week of September 2-8. My guess is they shipped them to the US early to ease last minute shipping burdens.

There are several temporary warehouses used to store the phones already in the states. Many in the Addison area. The phones get shipped from there to a distribution center/hub.

Someone posted a map several pages ago.
 
So let me tell you what is going to happen to my fellow friends waiting for info on their Verizon iPhone 5 info.

Finally, at some point late tomorrow or early Weds noon we will finally get our info.

We will see it is still in China and sweat our balls off worrying it won't be here for Friday.

When its all said and done, it will be here some point on Friday via UPS.
