Do you know how many attempts UPS will make if you do not pre-sign?

I believe they will make 2 additional tries (three total), and after that it will be held at the local UPS office for a time. If you don't pick it up by the deadline (1 week?), it will be returned to sender.
 
I think we all need to calm down a bit.. do you really need to see your phone shipped from China to the US? I too am in the same boat.. ordered 12:15am, preparing to ship, holiday shipping for 9/21, no tracking info.. My guess is that ours are already in the US so they won't need to be shipped until Tuesday or Wednesday. If it states delievery for 9/21, you'll be just fine

There's so many people saying stuff like this but what I don't understand is why are you reading this thread? Clearly people care about this and are interested.
 
Mine is still in the preparing to ship stage. 64 gb white for Sprint.

The charge for Applecare cleared yesterday, the charge for the phone is still hanging there in a pending state.
 
Heh, I got all excited that both would show up on 9/21 - nothing on the support page, UPS or Apple... Still says 9/21, but I'm starting to doubt that.

Promised the wife she would have her phone on Friday, hope Apple doesn't let me down.

I can wait for mine, hell, I'm still on a 3GS, what's an extra week, lol?

I'm just interested in seeing if anyone has new news or status. Many here appear to be anxious and some are just trying to calm them down.
 
For those wondering.

I ordered three iPhone 16GB two whites & one black. I used the reference tool under UPS's website and entered my phone number (home phone) and it shows two packages each of them weighing two founds and they have been scanned at Addison, IL. I called UPS and they my packages were being merged into one package. As of right now they are on time but I recommend everyone in my situation to contact UPS and ask them and post back with your reply.

EDIT: for anyone in my situation contact UPS and ask them who the shipper is, I ask and they said Ingram Micro....anyone have any idea what that is?

Mine still says "Preparing for shipment' I am in the UK waiting for my white 64GB model, but I'm not worried. I have a feeling our iphones are in the uk already or have been for a couple of weeks.

Mine will most likely ship Wednesday or Thursday , and be delivered on Friday.

Some probably ship from the distribution centre to your local delivery office or a parcel delivery service.

shipping will most likely be very fast anyway, I am just chilling and looking forward to Friday which is unlike me, as I am used to "panic" and "worry" when I am waiting for a delivery of epic proportions.
 
The phone number trick worked to get my tracking number. Now I'm going to see if my buddy at UPS can pull some string and get it for me.

I'm in Nashville, btw, last week he mentioned getting a lot of shipments from apple in, I thought at first we'd be able to order and pick up on Wed. But they were either iPods or the phones have been here for a week already.....
