officially got an Apple shipment email, but status on UPS is still stagnant since 9/18 last update was shipment was in Alaska. Still says delivery for 9/21 by 10:30am

P.S. Will pre-sign in case my lazy wife is not up if they deliver early..lol

Twas the night before iPhone
and all through the house
not a peripheral was stirring
not even a Mighty Mouse

Tracking data was displayed
on four devices with care
with hopes that Big Brown
soon would be there.

Then, out in the street
there arose such a clatter
I jumped from my chair
to see what was the matter.

Out on the lawn
much to my joy and surprise
a rectangular box appeared
in front of my eyes.

"But, tomorrow's the day!"
I exclaimed with some worry,
"That's ok", he responded
"I'm in too much of a hurry."

Then, like a flash he was gone
more deliveries to make
and with that box in my hand
I actually started to shake.

But before I could open
my treasure that day
The man in brown had
one more thing to say.

"I'll see you next Fall
for the new iphone delight.
Happy Activation to all
and to all a good night!" :apple:
 
I just talked to ups about phones stuck in transit from Alaska he said they are in Kentucky just the system hasn't updated. They will arrive on time. I know some people conjectured this but I didn't see any posts from ups themselves
 
Finally Apple Sends Shipping Confirmation!

I ordered the phone on launch day at 2:30 a.m. CST. and finally got the official Apple shipping confirmation with tracking number via email at 5:00 a.m. this morning.

I've got an inexpensive case via Amazon. Can't wait for the bigger vendors to come up with new cases.
 
My last update was an arrival scan at Louisville 12:07 am, 9/18. Since then, ziltch. It says in transit, scheduled delivery Friday, with no time specified. Delivery method is Worldwide Express, which supposedly delivers by noon. Are they really going to wait until evening to ship it out of Louisville, when I'm in Atlanta 8 hours away?
 
Common guys, we are now 250 posts behind the UK thread, falling back a bit. Time for that second wind. It looks like a two thread race as the other threads are fading fast.
 
Can't decide if I should pre sign, I live in an apt complex, the ups driver literally runs down the hall and barely taps on the door drops the package and leaves. Or they give it to the front office. I don't trust either of those options. Hopefully he'll actually knock on my door for me to sign. Would hate to step outside at 4pm and see a sticky note!

Leave a note on the door that says, I'm home PLEASE knock very loud!!
 
Just got update in Louisville, KY:

7:43AM Import Scan


Looks like the big party in 'tucky is over after two days of partying in Louisville

Probably something to do with customs. Mine did as well even though its been sitting in Ky for 2 days after arriving from alaska
 
is anyone stuck in addison, il?

been stuck there since 9/16...:confused:

Yes, I have two phones, one of which has left addison and has not shown up in Louisville. They other is in Louisville. The one officially shipped is the one missing in action.
 
Hey all!

In the rush of getting my iphone pre ordered on the 14 i requested a new number instead of porting my current number. Will there be a problem if i request to port my number when i get my new iphone 5 for at&t?
 
Has anyone been able to use UPS My Choice (the free version, not the $40 premium version) to change their delivery? I signed up for it, but when I go back to tracking info and click Change Delivery, it just gives me the old "Become a My Choice Member" window.

Best MacRumors post of all time!
 
Pre-sign

Where's the guy that was being such an ******* to people telling them they were "fools" for thinking that they could pre-sign for iPhone deliveries? Seems it's right there on the Apple shipping notice. Who's the fool?

You could always take the phone to an AT&T store after you get it, they've always been really helpful at mine. Though it may be faster to call support tomorrow.
 
Anybody know if the 10:30am time frame is accurate? UPS never comes to my house that early! It's usually in the evening!

Ahh... the phone just showed up in Louisville, that bus must have had a wild party between Addison and Louisville.

From another carrier right?

Beside them being supper busy, not a problem. You should probably call or visit a store before turning the phone on.
 
Ugh. Well Mine still says
Anchorage, AK, United States 09/18/2012 12:58 A.M. Departure Scan

On another note.... Mine also says UPS by 10:30am. UPS NEVER comes to my house that early. Anybody have any reasoning for whether this is accurate or not?

Mine also now shows the "delivers by 10:30" which I hope is true but doubt it. Last year my 4S didn't arrive until 9:00PM
