AT&T Confirming Shipment of iPhone 4 Pre-Orders

At risk of asking a stupid question...

I am switching from Verizon to AT&T and preordered the phone on the morning of the 15th. The FedEx tracking number tells me they received my order however the destination just says it will be delivered tomorrow, Louisville, KY. There is no address. Normally would this infer they are shipping it to the AT&T store or my home address? I asked an AT&T associate and they didn't seem to know...
 
Hooray!! The FedEx guy just handed me my new iphone!! I checked the tracking again and it still says it hasnt' even been picked up yet from AT&T, so y'all don't worry about that - your phone will be delivered as promised!! They are just too busy to do the track updates.
 
Wahoo, just got my two delivered as well, Fedex still shows at sort facility.

same thing here, ordered on the 15th at 6 am and it is still in progress. I just don't get it.

Same here. It's never been on backorder status either. It's been "in progress" since the minute I got the confirmation email. Who knows what's going on. The order status phone number rep didn't have any clue either. I'm so bummed.
 
2:30 pm here, and FedEx web site JUST NOW reported that my shipment was picked up at Fort Worth at 6 am (7 my time.) So, the info on FedEx site must be at least 7 hours behind.

Should get it tomorrow. Frustrating that people who ordered after me are getting theirs today.
 
My local AT&T store just told me that their store already has their first phones in stock for tomorrow's pre-orders. I also know 100% that they have another order being delivered tomorrow as well.
 
@shoafdc - do all your contact numbers transfer from your old iphone to the new one when you sync it on itunes?
 
Yes everything should transfer if you restore from your last backup. Just did mine. The AT&T activation (used the online link) took about 10 minutes and the restore from my 16GB backup was super quick about 4 minutes. Up and running with new phone

This makes no sense - I live in Anchorage but my phones show that they are in Fort Worth.

The only logical answer is that pallets of phones were shipped from China through Anchorage to Fort Worth for distribution, weren't enough at one time for Alaska to be set aside here.

I was told during the iPad rollout that a big batch were held here in Anchorage but that didn't seem to happen this time. Maybe the numbers were bigger and, for all we know they were shipped to Fort Worth in early June BEFORE the pre-orders.
 
I called FedEx and they said it should arrive at my house tomorrow morning. I'm glad everyone is getting theirs. This is a good time to be one of the pre order people. :)
 
still no update on my phone

ordered mine around 12pm CST on the 15th and it's showing 0's under quantity shipped and back-ordered

no idea what's going on...guess we'll wait and see.

money hasn't been taken out either :confused:
 
Ok FedEx says it's on the truck....will be delivered by 3!! Still waiting!! :) Order it 6/15....3:30 central time!! Premier Site....so is really on the way???

My contacts transferred, everything synced - but activation was not so smooth. Went through all the online AT&T steps, but the phone showed no service when I turned it on. So I called the activation line which said the phone was already activated. I'm suppose to wait an hour and try a call again.

:apple: ipod classic
:apple: iphone 4 (yea!)
:apple: ipad 16GB

I finally got a tracking code, just hang in there.
 
debacle

yeah 'debacle' was probably a bit harsh. I was probably thinking more about the impending English performance than AT&T.

Anyway - the clouds parted, the sun came out. England won and progress to the next round. I came back to my desk and found my status was now showing 'shipped'. Tracking doesn't work, but that's fine. I'm off to Africa next week so my biggest concern was that I wanted the phone delivered before then and not sitting on my door step to be stolen. If it arrives tomorrow or Friday - I'm good with that.
 
Woo hoo

:) yeah! at&t's site finally says shipped! my order was listed as backordered until today. they cancelled the duplicate order and shipped the other. still no confirmation email on the shippment but it's a step. i pre-ordered around 11AM EST on the 15th, at&t had it listed as the 16th. hang in there everyone that hasn't seen a status change, you will soon enough.

:confused: i can't wait to read 1000 posts about activation issues tomorrow!

Same situation. I ordered early on the 15th and then AT&T store called yesterday and said July 3. I was mad. Then on some whim I checked at lunch today and it said shipped next day with arrival on 6/24. What a freaking ride. No idea why I am all fanboy about this release.
 
:(

I am quite sad to say that i now have "1's" under various sim for being backordered. phones still say in progress... i am starting to lose hope that i will have delivery tomorrow. if it was going to arrive tomorrow, something would be suggesting that it was on a truck today. even if at&t makes good for me on the 24th, i would have to say this is a terrible let down across the board for customer service. really, really sad...
 
Odd bacakordered SIM

Mine says the phone shipped but Sim is backordered. From what I know they are put into the phone and then packed and sealed for shipping. Think this is just another AT&T glitch. Would make no inane sense.
 
lol

now my SIM is backordered but the phone is still showing 0

at least their doing something with it:rolleyes:
 
Does anyone else show a UPS tracking number? Mine still says in progress, with a ship date of 6/23, but still 1's in the ordered and 0 in the shipped. And the tracking numbers dont work.

Tracking update

I finally got the FedEx site updated with my shipment! I've been trying this all day and getting nothing. Now it says delivery tomorrow by 3pm coming from Fort Worth Texas with Overnight service. It was picked up at 11am this morning. Check your status everyone.
Woo hoo!
 
In Progress 32GB

2 friends ordered the same time as me ~1:30pm est on the 15th, I ordered 32gb they both ordered 16gb. They both received theirs today and I'm still In Progress on ATT order status. One received an order cancellation message yesterday morning then a ship confirmation last night.

I'm still being optimistic that order status will update tonight and i'll receive by end of the week. Maybe there are some delays on 32gb shipments in the south east? Maybe there is no rhyme or reason to the order fulfillment :)
