AT&T buyers still with "in progress" come in..

i was walking to the front door (glass storm door) to greet the fedex man, only to see him toss the package from about 10 feet away on to my porch, and watch it slide into my door. WTF FedEx. He looked up and saw me looking at him and he ran off back to the truck.

Not worried about the phone, but do they do that to all packages...i'm surprised my dell monitor is working...

Mine said that even AFTER it was delivered. I just checked it (3 hours after delivery), and I have a Fed Ex tracking number now - LOL.

What I found amazing was that AT&T's own people couldn't tell me any more info than that. In fact they told me it HADNT shipped, even though it obviously shipped yesterday.

If you had you order in before the deadline, and you didn't have some unusually issue, my guess is that it WILL show up.

Be ready for activation issues also. Mine never activated, so I went down to the AT&T store, and they just swapped SIMs from my old 3G, and it worked like a champ. Appleinsider.com has an article about people having lots of activation issues. If you are upgrading, you might try swapping SIMS if it fails for you too.

By the way, if you were wondering, Fed Ex, put it inside my screen door, rang the doorbell and left. I didn't have any paperwork posted or anything...
 
Mine was delivered shortly before 2:00pm CDT. Sitting at home on the counter and I am debating whether or not I want to leave work early and cuddle with my new iphone.

They shipped very early this morning. It was overnight shipping.
 
I'm at work. My phone has not shown up on the website as delivered.

I'm wondering if it really has. 3:42 here.
 
So I just checked my online bank account and it shows that i was charged for my iphone that i preordered on sunday the 14th at the ATT store. The charge was dropped on tuesday and then came back today. My order status still shows "In Progress" so im not sure whats going on. Any ideas?
 
it says estimated delivery by 3pm, out for delivery.
freight not shipped, various sim shipped.
 
Mine still says In Progress and I ordered on the 12th! Ridiculous when they could've just used some of the ones they sold to non-pre-order people to fulfill our orders. Just terrible. I'm going to head to the store right now and see if I can cancel. My local Apple store still has every model in stock!

Bingo. But don't you see they are using pre-orders as a way of guaranteeing more sales? They just took a bunch of the pre-order phones and moved them out to retail outlets and are now refusing to let us even cancel our backordered pre-orders. Mine was also placed on the 12th like yours was.

This way we are stuck paying with a phone on THEIR schedule and they don't risk alienating those who showed up at the store and waited in line. Very smooth plan for making money. Very poor from a business ethics point of view.

Just received it. My fed ex driver said the shipper did not request signature delivery. If i was not home she would have left it in front of my door.

At least your (ordered 6/9) orders didn't get cancelled due to "ineligible for early upgrade price" that you were approved and now still show in their system that you are..... As well as having 21 holds on your credit card, therefore rendering your card worthless.... Hope everyone enjoys their phones, as for me, I must wait until next week for mine to arrive via Apple. Will never ever order from ATT again, and wouldn't have this time had apple's site not kept erroring (sp?/word) me out!!!! Enjoy and congrats on a successful ATT transaction...

LOL.... the phone came today, no emails since 6/13, ATT swore up and down my order had been cancelled.... After I got the phone, checked status and it had a tracking number and a freight line.... They're system was so overloaded it was all jacked up....
 
My fedx driver said that she had a bunch of those "boxes" that my iphone came in for delivery today. This was after I told her what was in the box.

Just got off the phone, apparently they never ran my credit so the order has been in limbo. They took care of it and it will ship within 24 hours, so I should get it Monday. :rolleyes:

The real ****** thing is that I have spoke with ATT customer service 3 other times this week and nobody said anything about the hold up. Friggin BS.

So I went to Best Buy and bought a 32gb White 3GS. What the heck should I do with my ATT order now? :confused::confused::confused:
 
Yup, the one from BB is activated. I have no idea when the order from ATT is actually coming and you cannot cancel online orders. I guess I should just refuse it. I'm getting the bing cashback on the ATT one. Does anyone think it would be worth paying the termination fee and then selling the phone on ebay? Combined with the cashback I could probably make money on it.

Why not return the BB one after you get the one from AT&T and pop the SIM card into it? Or call AT&T to see what you can do before anything else?
 
mine shipped yesterday....

but att doesnt provide tracking number LOL. Does anyone know if the ATT stores get shipments on saturday? I tried calling and no answer LOL.

I know my local ATT store told me yesturday that they would be recieving another shipment for today. but not sure if that applies to all the other stores as well. but most likely if apple wants to top the 500k devices sold.
 
My status changed to shipped last night. Do shipments after the 19th get overnighted — anyone know? I don't have a tracking number on mine, but that seems to be par for the course with a lot of these.

Just wondering if there's a chance I'll get mine today, haha. From the AT&T store. >.> If not, then Monday!

I use to work at a x-box refurbishing company and when we would receive our 30 or so packages from the fedex driver he would literally throw them off the truck. I'm pretty sure along the way there is at least one careless person whether it be the sorter, loader, driver, etc. Hurray for insurance.
 
dudes wtf. i preordered two iphones via premier on June 9th! i still have not been charged on my credit card. I have not received any emails as far as shipping or if there have been any problems. I called at&t twice last week and they said there was nothing wrong with my order. But that they didn't know why it hadn't shipped. Also, because it had not shipped out, i could not get a tracking number for it. Calls this weekend all ended with AT&T telling me there was a technical problem and would hang up on me. Calls this morning same thing. Hang up on me, their chat function is not working.

WTF, how do i get support man? Anybody have some ideas!?
 
I pre-ordered mine on the 9th, and had a $318 authorization on my debit card right away. The authorization dropped off after a few days and has yet to return. I received my iPhone on the 19th. I'm assuming I will eventually be charged for it.

I also, never received a notification of shipping.
