Shipping number finally but null for carrier. How are they having sim card issues? They are put in the phone at the factory before they are packaged and labeled. I am in the business and know. How else is Apple getting theirs shipped straight from the factory to customers?!

I was confused too. But I have been 0's on backorder since the 15th and today my SIM cards are backordered, not the phones. I called a rep and she said that they ran out of SIM cards, but that a shipment was coming in. She said I had a phone but that it just had not shipped yet.
 
So for those of us still "In progress" (UGHH!!!) what time tonight should we abandon all hope of getting a phone tomorrow? Anyone work for fedex/ups and knows what the cut-off time is?

Don't take my word for it, but in the past I've had packages shipped that tracking showed up at like 2am with billing info received or that it left/arrived at a facility, but still was shipped when I expected. Just this week i had a UPS package w/ one day shipping get shipped from KY to TX left late that evening and still got it the next day.

Point being, that between assigning a tracking number, loading shipments, processing, and then updating the att order status and subsequent tracking info, it could be well on it's way, so I wouldn't abandon all hope of a LDD till maybe tomorrow.
 
Last year my order on the regular site said in progress up to the time the damn truck showed up with my phone. I at least got tracking info but carrier is still null and Fed Ex has no record yet. I hope it means it goes out today for tomorrow delivery. The AT&T phone reps are clueless! The last guy said that no phones were being delivered until at least tomorrow and I asked how all the people claiming to have recieved iPhone 4's that arrived today fromAT&T on the intraweb all got together to pull a prank on me then? He was quiet for a moment and said he didn't know but it was mean! LMAO! He said the phones don't even start shipping until tomorrow! OMGWTFBBQ!!
 
I just had an extremely informative conversation with an ATT rep...she basically read me my Order Status that I'd seen online the past week, and told me she didn't know when it'd ship. Great.

At this pace, I'll be content if I have the phone by August.
 
has anyone had their shipping estimate removed from the fedex website? i orginally had it saying today by 3pm central, but that has since been removed and its an hour past 3
 
It really seems that something is up with 32gb shipments. I also ordered on 6/15 at 7:30am thru Premier site. My friend could not get thru all day and finally placed her order at 6:30pm for a 16gb. She is receiving her iPhone this afternoon and I still have NO shipping info or tracking number.

What gives? It is so discouraging to even spend time getting thru early on launch day if it has absolutely NO effect as to when your order is fulfilled and shipped. What kind of mess is AT&T running out there? I cannot wait until another carrier can provide service for the iPhone because I WILL LEAVE AT&T THE MOMENT IT OCCURS!!!

I can wait the extra day or days, but it is POOR POOR customer service and relations.

Where's my zanax damnit??

AT LONG LAST, I finally have a SHIPPED status and TRACKING number (which doesn't work yet, but BIG sigh of relief!)

I'm doin' the happy dance now!! :D "...the sun will come out tomorrow...!

Yes, after my phone was delivered just before 9 am today.

Delivered to AT&T store?

UPS just updated "Delivered" to AT&T store across the street from my office. (If i had a choice, I would have delivered to my house).
Called AT&T, the b**** is clueless. She told me I have to make appointment to pick up mine, and it won't be til Friday...
WTF, so I walked into the store, the mofo said they won't launch it til tomorrow.
I asked whether I need to make appointment, he said no.. Then, I asked what time do they open, he said 7 am, then he goes "wait, I am not sure", and give me the phone number to call back in 2 hours.

WTF... do AT&T employees have to be sooo dumb to be qualified for the job over there?
I still don't know when I can pick up mine and still no phone call or email from them...
Do anyone in the same situation? When do they say you can pick up and do u need to make appointment?
 
My status just went from "in process" to "shipped" on AT&T's page. Fedex tracking # still doesn't show any information, which is to be expected. It's more activity in the past 4 hours than the entire time since 6/15 :D

No update on premiere under my premiere order #--I'm betting that order number won't get updated.

We're making progress. Launch day is looking more and more promising.


More progress--got the shipped email from AT&T premiere and now premiere site shows shipped too. Fedex tracking is now showing picked up in Fort Worth at 9:44AM this morning, with estimated delivery tomorrow by 3 PM, standard overnight delivery.

So chronologically, it was about 2 hours after actual pickup that the tracking number first appeared in my order while it still showed "in process"; "shipped" notification at 2:20pm CST; and now the Fedex tracking number actually shows something. And I'm in DFW--which may or may not make a difference timing wise.

Based on this, in theory for those who haven't gotten a tracking number, you still may see one today or tomorrow and be fine for launch day, as all of the status is running after the fact.

Should have mine tomorrow--good deal. 32GB, BTW, for those concerned that 32GB iPhone4's may not be getting equal treatment.
 
32gb, shipped, on a plane from TX since 10:30am (Tracking info is super delayed), arriving tomorrow.

Mine shipped today. No FedEx info yet but my guess is delivery Thursday. Yea! That's the day before my birthday.....the best gifts are the ones we buy ourselves!!!!! ;-)

What to do in this situation: My sister ordered two iPhone 4s, and had them shipped to her office. They were delivered at 11:30am this morning to the wrong address. They were signed for by someone, and when she went to that address (it was a different office building over a mile from her office) they said that no one by that name worked there. She called FedEx and they said they would have the driver call her, but that was hours ago and no call yet. Any suggestions?
