Well I bought my phone an hour after the preorder and got the dreaded "ships in 2 weeks" which translates to it arriving Oct 2nd. Anyone else in this boat? I feel like it will get here before Oct 2nd but maybe that is just wishful thinking.
 
Anyone else feel like this week is dragggggggging by very very very slowly? Or do i just need some ativan/xanax because im so anxious to get my phone!
 
I find that a little hard to believe. Unless someone magically turned on your phone and set it up. And there is also no way to confirm that even is the iPhone 5. For all we know that's your other iPhone.

Your right, there is no way of knowing it is my iPhone 5. However, I know that I currently only have my iPhone 4 until the iPhone 5 arrives on Friday. It doesn't show anything anyway. There won't be any way to find it's location when it's not on.

EDIT: by using the iOS Find my iPhone app I was able to determine the second iPhone that is showing up is an iPhone 4. Very odd...

Same here, I ordered mine at 5am and I have the "ships in 2 weeks" as well :(

I've read here and there that they "pushed" back orders in "fear" of not having enough so I was hopeful. But now that there are 2M+ sales I am hoping that we get ours by Oct 2 at the very latest!!! Im sure if they had ours ready the site would change. Lets see what happens on the 21st.

TO KANSAS CITY MO!! FINALLY TRACKING! FINALLY!!! .. searched by reference # (mobile phone number)
 
It sure is taking its sweet time leaving Louisville!! Guess it will depart tonight. So funny, Apple.com still says "Preparing for Shipment" :confused: I guess with 2 million pre-orders, things are a mess
 
Sooo.. Anyone figured out how to presign if you're going to be at work on Friday? They're using UPS this time instead of FedEx so the old presign forms obviously won't work.

YES!! It is only 12:21 right now! I managed to finish my book, which killed an hour. Now I'm dealing with fussy kids, which makes time drag even slower. COME ON FRIDAY!!
 
Mine departed Anchorage, AK 12:58 AM. It's been that way for over 7 hours. Side note, I forgot you have to sign for it...:eek: Guess I'm not leaving home Friday.

Just as the old pre-orders went, once you get a shipment notification from Apple, they provide you with a form if you want to pre-sign

This is what Apple says:
To ensure safe delivery, our carriers require a signature for delivery. If you’re unable to provide a signature, click “Pre-sign for this shipment” above to sign for your package in advance. For more details, refer to the Shipping & Pickup Help page.

Same as me brother. Went from Nashville to KY in 3 days LOL. Just got there today at 10AM.t

Sister.. ;) LOL. Seriously though, I figured it would be in Bakersfield by now. They used next day shipping, so shouldn't it be at the UPS hub in Bakersfield by now? If not, what's the point in paying for "NEXT DAY" shipping?:confused:

Ha! Friday will be the worst day of them all. After you see 'On Vehicle for Delivery' sitting and waiting for the delivery is always the worst.
 
I know, but the problem is, mine still shows "Preparing for shipment" on the Apple site, which doesn't have a pre-sign option.

I tracked it through UPS and it's been shipped.


Just give it a day or two, everyone will probably get the email Tomorrow or Thursday...
 
atleast most of you guys are actually moving mine still says "preparing for shipment" and hasnt changed for a while.

Ordered 9/14/12 at 12:32 pm PST
I just wish I could say that mine is moving too.

update they used a different contact number. mines is in Louisville, KY, United States. wrong coast people it is supposed to be in Cali. then it is atleast closer to me.:mad:

I'd be very cautious if that is your iPhone 5. It could be tampered with.
