Ordered at about 2pm on the 15th. AT&T screwed up my order so it didn't show up in the system. Combine that with using a Chase card... bad news. Finally got someone to take care of the order. But now it shows that it was placed on the 21st, not the 15th. All anyone will say is that it "should ship" by the 25th!

If it doesn't see ya on Sprint.
 
I wouldn't be surprised the reason for letting some of the orders deliver early is simply a logistical issue. With this many phones to deliver coupled with the normal delivery volume FedEx deals with, it could possibly cause a strain. This could also explain why UPS seems to be getting more shipments then normal.

Just a thought.

I think it's to help load-balance the activations. Which will be a nightmare as well.
 
JUST got two SEPARATE ATT conf emails telling me my order shipped and how to activate it when it arrives. It said it could take up to 72 hours to show up on tracking.
 
I agree. The email from Apple indicates it WILL arrive tomorrow.

So, are you tempted to stroll to the Applestore tomorrow night and walk along the reserved line talking on your iPhone 4 ? Or would you fear getting lynched?

This seems like it would be fun! although I agree... It could be dangerous to your health!! :)

Since my order is still listed as backordered, I'd gladly accept delivery on the 25th if it meant finally having an update to my order info!!
 
Mine just showed up with Fedex tracking numbers on the order status page. Shipped Quantity still shows as 0 but I can use the tracking numbers to find the package on Fedex site.

Delivery date says 23rd June 3:00 PM. I'm happy. :)

I ordered it around 3:30PM ET June 15th. It was backordered till last night. This morning backordered was removed, and about 10 mins ago it had tracking numbers.
 
I called the number, and it stated my order has been processed and waiting to be shipped.. The pages still say back ordered, and processing... :(

Ugh! The premiere site says processing, the regular site says backordered, and the premiere phone system says processed and awaiting shipment. I ordered both phones through premiere at 11am EST! If I don't get tracking by 5pm I am calling to cancel and picking up my reservations at the Apple store. Morons!:mad:
 
Anyone had their order show up twice on the order status screen like this?

That's exactly how mine looks. Both with the same order number as well. Very strange. :confused:

Also, I'm one of those who ordered before noon on 6/15 and my order date is 6/16 and backordered. Exactly like your picture.
 
Finally... Been following this thread for 2 days. Ordered at 10:30am EDT on 15th, premier, and was on backorder until this morning. My order just changed to shipping, so I went to Fedex site and it shows delivery tomorrow!

Ordered my wife's thru Apple and the process there was much less stressful.

Looks like it all worked out.
 
blasted...mine still shows up as null on fedex website and I had a 6/17 ship date.:( Maybe its just taking a while to get these orders to show up on fedex.:rolleyes:
 
just spoke with fed ex i orderd my phone the 15th first preorder right at 8am pacific time. she said both my packages r on hold and will ship on the 23rd she asked if it was the iphone i said yea and she said most of the store pick ups are shipping at midnight tonight to arrive in store on the 24th for all of yall

Same here except mine shows shipped = 1.
A little background info for the people that are taking stats.
Ordered via premier site on 6/15 @ 1443 EDT.
AT&T site stated order date of 6/16 with backorder status.
Card was pre-authorized on 6/17, no further info after the 17th on either site.
Called premier on 6/21 & was told my package will arrive on 6/24. She also stated I will be off backorder AND have a tracking number within 24 hrs.
(Apparently she knew her info since I had the status of backorder today in the AM = 0 AND right now I have a tracking number with delivery of tomorrow by 3 pm EDT)

I was getting impatient just like the rest of you, but just like others have expressed; be patient the info will come. I really thought I would get my package on Friday until these events.

My info states null but when I plug in the tracking number into FedEx it gives me delivery date of tomorrow. You should try that.

More proof that they are not fulfilling orders in the order they received them. Placed mine on premier at 15th @11am.

I'd try that if I had a freakin tracking number.
