I am currently in processing, is the next step shipped? Or will it say backordered? And once its shipped, will I get an email or do I need to check site every day?

If you look at your order status results theres a column that says "QTY Back-Ordered" under this heading you will see three "1's" this means that they are on backorder. Your status will say "in progress". The next step is coming off of backorder. the "1's" in that column will turn to "0's" after that you will receive your shipping information. AT&T should have your e-mail and will e-mail you when it is shipped and after that you just keep tracking your shipment!!!

For the people who ordered through Apple:

This an AT&T thread. Orders made through Apple generally take longer than AT&T orders. Hope this helps.
 
ordered at an att store on 7/9. still on backorder despite them saying it would ship in 4-5 days. what a huge lie. btw i am in the minneapolis area...

I, as well as quite a few people over at the att forums who ordered on 7/9, have come off backorder! You should be getting yours very soon as well! :)
 
My phone was supposed to be delivered yesterday the 19th but on the fedex site it is still showing my phone is in Newark, NJ WTH!!
 
caldera3000, did you get yours?

Mine is one a truck now. Trying to decide if I want to go to work then pick up at FedEx after, or just wait for it and work from home.

I suggest you wait for it. FedEx is no longer delivering the iPhones for AT&T. I'm sure it has to do with the many reports of stolen or damaged items.

Is this true though? FedEx is definitely still delivering phones from what I have seen. Plus, they don't leave Apple products without a signature. UPS leaves everything.
 
off back-order trend here

going by the trend

16th - 7/7ers
17th - 7/7ers and 7/8ers

21st - 7/10ers
22nd - 7/11ers
23rd - 7/12ers
24th - 7/13ers

hopefully they speed up the process though

16GB AT&T Order, 7/7

Orders placed on 7/9 are now off backorder. Shipped through UPS. Also if you search this forum and others there are tons of reports of stolen/damaged iPhones sent through FedEx.

Tons of reports is a hyperbole. I work at Fedex and I know that they replace any broken or stolen merchandise. Yeah it's inconvenient that they will have to wait for another but at least its not on you. I'm sure if any other shipping company dealt with all of the iphone's there would be reports of stolen goods.

Also, maybe apple shouldn't stamp the :apple: on the side of the box.
 
ordered a 32gb the morning of 7/12 off of premier. just came off back order this morning. i'm in socal if that matters lol
 
when it comes off backorder, do they send you an email saying its off backorder? or, are you guys impulsively checking the order status, and they send you the email when it ships?

i've been impulsively checking my status
