ooh well at least we'll get it! i called att premier today and they told me i would have it by the 24... not looking to promising right now but then again people got there phones today.. who know where they are going to be shipped from if att received more phones today from china or where ever else they might be.. or they might just be trying to break up the shipping of the phones so there isnt a flood on the carriers to get them all delivered on time..

Yeah that could be true. I'm hoping that they will just overnight ship it tomorrow sometime and then deliver it on thursday.
 
Why in the world is accounting coming back to haunt me when all I'm doing is waiting for my iphone??

I wish I would have gotten an A by using some sort of method besides studying! Lol. Although I did have a female teacher and she did seem to like me and this other male student... blech...

Anyhoo, you are correct. FIFO, LIFO and average method concern the accounting aspect of inventory (whether you use a periodic or perpetual accounting system) so that you can ascertain how much inventory you have either sold or what you have left over and the cost of said inventory.

oh, trust me, i studied! lol. I even tutored in it. But I kinda had my teacher whipped. I'm a deans list student - work hard, but sometimes if I (or one of my friends in the class) wasn't exactly ready for a test - I'd tell my professor he should postpone it, and he would. LOL. We did the FIFO LIFO crap in the fall though, and last semester was all about accounting for stocks and bonds- so I just really don't remember EXACTLY everything.

But I gotta say, it does piss me off that I'm on summer vacation, just waiting for a new gadget, and I'm talking about ****ing accounting. On the other hand, I feel incredible that I remembered what FIFO and LIFO meant.

And the more I think about it, the more it does make sense in relation to this whole mess.

In other news, I'm sitting here watching the flight I assume my iphones are on. **** was supposed to depart at 315 and it still says it hasn't departed yet LOL.
 
Tracking Number Fed Ex with no info and it shipped on the 17th!

I ordered the exact time on the att website the iphone 4 was released and my tracking number still tracks nothing and it says shipped on the 17th anyone else experiencing this with ATT?
 
Anyone try calling fed ex to see why their product shows shipped since the 17th but the tracking number is not valid yet?
 
Who else HAS a Fedex tracking number (since the 18th in my case) that doesn't work?! Woot!

My brother's tracking number is still showing as not found. I'm hoping it was just a garbled number and his phone shows up at the same time mine does (oh hey, it just departed from Newark!).

LOL nice. Why in the world were you not in my class? :D

It seemed to me that the teacher liked whoever seemed to excel in the class so it would have been all good. I haven't had that much power in a class (postponing tests... in fact, my friend and I had to come up with homework / projects for a class before.)

Oh noes, you're OCD enough to track the flight? I guess I would've ended up doing the same if I didn't call Fedex and have them tell me that my 2 32GBs were in Fort Worthless (thanks to whoever said "Fort Worthless" - classic)

Yes, they told me yesterday that mine was scheduled to be overnighted, and delivered on the 23rd. Out of 4 reps, 2 confirmed that, and the last one claimed that it moves tomorrow but arrives at my house on the 24th... so... yeah...

Well mine shipped on the 18th and I called Fedex earlier today. Lady told me that mine was part of a "bulk" thing.. literally 1000s of them apparently and that they are located in Fort Worthless, TX. She also told me that they don't have an estimated delivery date (GRRRR...) and that it should ship out "tonight." I'm in Houston, TX btw.

Basically that's how my teacher was too - if you did well and put forth effort, he loved you and would help you out. I was the best student in the class next to this lady in her 60s, I was good in the sense that I could just listen to his lecture and understand what he was saying and do the work, she was good in that she read the book like it was the bible and could tell you what terms meant with a word for word definition from the book. He liked us both but I get +10 for being 20 years old and giving him attention LOL.

Anyway, yea, I'm sitting here looking at the flights, and I think I know which one mine is on. My tracking info says it's in memphis, it's said that for like 3 1/2 hours, LOL. the flight was supposed to leave at 315 and arrive near me at 615 ish. so far it says it hasn't departed.

I dunno, at this point, this whole thing is probably just a hallucination and i'm still on 'in progress' - almost 4am, I have no idea what's going on.

I spoke with a rep at about 3pm that told me mine wouldn't ship "until tomorrow morning, you will receive it between the 24th-28th" -- literally 5 minutes later att order status showed it shipped, and my expected delivery is before 3pm today. they really don't know what they're talking about. the one i talked to before that said there was no way for them to tell at all when your order would ship.
 
LMAO!! Everything about this launch has been a cluster f***. When will they learn?

So..

How is UPS predicting the future??

I dont know anymore. It gets here when it does I guess.

That's how I feel now. It'll get here when it gets here... It just better get here at least by the 24th. :)

There is no way that I ordered at 5:30a CST on the 15th and not get it at least on launch day.
 
LOL @ agirls sig

No wonder my FedEx guy is always late. Who knows how many times his package is getting handled per day?
