Product: 16GB White iPhone 5 (AT&T) ordered via Apple Store App
Ordered: 3:05AM EST
Confirmation: 3:10AM EST from Apple
AppleCare email received 9/14 @ 11:49PM EST
Delivery Date: 9/21 via Holiday Shipping
AT&T Upgrade Date: changed to 4/15/2014
Order Status: changed to "Preparing for Shipment" on 9/15 @ 8:30PM EST
UPS/Fed Ex Tracking information: Unable to locate shipment at this time (search attempted on 9/16 @ 8:10AM EST)

I will continue trying the UPS/Fed Ex websites periodically throughout the day and will update the forum as necessary.

This is my first iPhone pre-order and it went very smooth for me. To all the other customers who have October delivery dates, I wish you the best of luck and hopefully it will arrive sooner than anticipated.

WAIVED UPGRADE FEE: To get the upgrade fee waived just explain to the CSR, politely of course, that you could have taken your business elsewhere but chose to stay with (Insert Provider Here). If they are being stingy just ask for a manager.

Update: As of 9/16 @ 6:15PM EST I cannot retrieve my tracking information from UPS/Fed Ex. My Apple support profile has also not been updated.

I can't decide if I should be nervous or I am just being paranoid. :eek:

Neither has mine and I've been "preparing for shipment" for over 24 hours now. I wouldn't stress it too much.
 
Ah getting so nervous! Was really hoping to see mine change to "Preparing for Shipment" but it still is in processing. Ordered not too long after the open and sadly my date is still showing October 5th. :(
 
You guys with the 9/21 deliveries are so damn lucky lol. I'm an "available to ship 2 weeks" with an oct 5th delivery date. Been processing since I purchased at 12:45pm est on Friday
I did everything that I could to have as smooth a preorder as possible. I made sure that my apple ID information was updated and correct, I checked my eligibility, etc. Somehow, I knew that something would go wrong. I set my alarm for 1:45 am CST with the volume cranked up, ringer on, and I double checked that it was for the correct date and AM. Either the alarm didn't go off, or I just slept through it. Poo. :)
 
I went to ups.com, track by reference, and then entered the 10-digit billing phone number on there. It showed right up. Problem is I have two phones under the same billing phone number, so only one shows up on UPS.

EDIT: Also using the order number (or at least the first 7 digits) doesn't seem to work for orders shipped from Addison. I think that might only work for ones shipped directly from China.

Yeah i've been trying both of those, no luck.
 
Finally showed up on my support profile with a week 35 build, but nothing on UPS yet.

I stayed up until 2am and woke up at 7:30, and left my house at 7:40 on a 15min commute to school. School starts at 7:55. I made it to class 10sec before the bell rang.

I got up a 1:55 fussed with the website, used the apple store app to preorder, then went to work until 9 am central and stayed up till 9 pm before I crashed!
 
Do you think there is anyway we can get a list going of Carrier/Model/Shipping Speed and where it is shipping from?

It seems like all with Holiday Delivery or AT&T have theirs showing up stateside.

That's more like it. Don't settle for Samsung products.
 
Mine is in addison, IL too. Being delivered the 21st. Question though when it gets closer can you pick it up before delivery date I mean it is my package right?.

I think I'm going to print this off and super glue it to my annoying friends desk at work.

And then super glue a piece of strong glass over the top of that.

And then write "shut up about your freaking galaxy S3. No one cares." on top of the glass with a black sharpie.

And then laugh...

Because I can.

Because I'm his boss.
 
For those that UPS is not showing up try putting in the track by reference your phone number that apple has on file that is attached to your iTunes account or is on your order from apple. That is the number I ended up using to pull up my ups tracking number

Thanks for that link. My 32gb white AT&T iPhone 5 is DTTR, to verify what is in the list.

I'm confused, why the nervousness? As long as u got a confirmation email from apple and it says your order is processing then you should be good right? Cause this is exactly what mine says

You're right. Furthermore, if you're one of the ones who has a 9/21 delivery date, you really have nothing to worry about, but we're all anxious :)
