So what does it mean to have a tracking number, yet still say In progress? and the money hasn't been taken out yet, yet i have a tracking number. Also, this is from the regular site, my premier says in progress still. Im a 7/13 premier, reg. order date 7/14 and off BO this morning at 10AM
 
I called them and they said that everything was in order...I partly don't think the lady knows what she is talking about though.

Edit: anyone have a number to speak directly to people who know what they are doing? I called 611 and they really are clueless.
 
Update:

So I got my shipping information! It should arrive tomorrow (7/28) via fed ex. I ordered the 16gb at the att store on 7/14.

I CANNOT WAIT! :D
 
Regular in-store order for a 32gb on friday 7/23 (right before closing time). Came off back-order this morning, tuesday 7/27.
 
Maybe someone who works for Fedex knows what's going on..

I got my tracking number yesterday and my delivery date is tomorrow, but I'm not sure what to make of why my package never really left Memphis..

This is what the tracking info says:

Jul 27, 2010 1:16 AM Arrived at FedEx location MEMPHIS, TN
Jul 27, 2010 12:57 AM Left FedEx origin facility MEMPHIS, TN
Jul 26, 2010 2:56 PM Shipment information sent to FedEx
Jul 26, 2010 2:02 PM Picked up MEMPHIS, TN

Did it leave one Fedex facility (Apple warehouse?) to the Memphis hub?
And, if anyone else has any packages coming out of Memphis today, (They are having delays because of the weather down there) would a 2-day package be flown to me (Northern VA) or put in a truck?

it depends on what branch of fedex is located in memphis, if its fedex ground then a truck, if its fedex freight then its a bigger truck. Mail doesnt stop for weather so that shouldnt be an issue. Apples warehouse is not a fedex facility either.
 
Do you have updated numbers?
It seems like they went through 3 or 4 days of 16GB orders in the past 24 hrs (7/13 to 7/17 taken off backorder according to this thread). That gives me hope that mine will be off backorder tomorrow! I ordered 16GB on 7/20 through AT&T

i ordered a 16 on 7/17 at 10am in store and im still on backorder
 
user ShaRose posted these numbers yesterday, he/she said they were an AT&T rep or something like that. Keep in mind this is the internet and I wouldn't bet my life on the accuracy of those numbers..The post is a page or two back in this thread

the numbers meaning nothing unless we know how many they take off backorder each day

FedEx has issued a warning that there is some bad weather around Memphis that may impact the delivery of some packages.
 
I knew the 16GB was more popular, but I'd have never thought it'd be 4:1 more popular. (Going off those backorder numbers)

It's not, the 32gb is more popular which is why apple ramped up production of the 32gb. This time last month, the 16gb were the ones getting there phones in a few days while the 32gbers had to wait.

Tell that to all the people in the DC metro area that were without mail for a week in February. Mail sure did stop for weather then.
 
Since I have been checking this thread religiously for two weeks I thought I would give my information.

Premier Order Date: 7/8/2010
Date Added to att.com: 7/15/2010
Date off backorder: 7/27/2010 @ 10:00 AM PST

No shipping information, but will update when I get it. Looked like 13 Business days from the 8th, 8 business days from 15th.

And it has shipped. Overnight, will be here 7/28 by 3:00 PM!

alright well i was in baltimore at the time, 80+ inches of snow is another story. Im talking about july weather now. I dont know what the weather is in memphis or what fedex considers "too dangerous to deliver." My bad guy.
 
16gig 7/15 regular order here, and mine just came off of backorder earlier today. :) It's about time too!!

Just sayin'. But yeah, some of these storm cells that have been coming through have been pretty bad. Some folks here in the DC area have been without power since a storm blew through Sunday, and it only lasted for half an hour. They're expecting to get their power back by Thursday. So I suppose it is possible that weather may be sucking enough to delay shipments.
 
7/21 Premier Order for 32GB, Immediately Backordered

7/27 Backorder lifted

Awesome! This makes me feel a little better after having watched all the 7/23 non-premier 32g folks come off of backorder today. Maybe I will get my phone before Christmas!
 
Ordered a 16 Gig on 7/14 just got the tracking number should be at my house tomorrow at 3pm!! Sooooo happy! Premier order
 
Finally got the order status "shipped"

Ordered 16G on 7/12 afternoon at Los Angeles through premier web site.
Estimated shipping time is tommorow (7/28), 3pm.

could be true but since i work at fedex im fairly certain that if the scanners are on and they are loading trucks with boxes, they're sending them out as soon as the loader shuts the door. If the warehouse is open and employees are working than so are the one's that drive the trucks. Doesnt matter though lol either way that kid in atlanta should have his phone by tomorrow.
