of course not

they purposely slow down orders to give people an incentive to pay more for faster shipping ?

Sometimes you don't want to see the sausage being made....

I imagine that a large city may have more than one sorting facility -


FedEX and UPS NEVER deliver early.... if it says 2 days it will be 2 days - not less
 
Relax folks

No. Look at the history. He was talking about how it just moved about in the same city all day.

Relax folks.

Sorting, routing, loading, flying, sorting, routing, travelling.

It takes time and A to B does not mean you get your own empty tuck and empty plane.
 
It may depend on where you live

I have a big question... Is Apple shipping these with a Signature Required? If they do, I need to go print out a Pre-Signed Authorization thingy...

I definitely DONT want my iPhone to get brought back to FedEx Headquarters.

first - if ATT made it signature required then you need a signature.

Or if FedEx thinks your mail spot in not safe they will need a signature.

Usually you can pick it up at a faclity in your city. The hang tag would tell ypu

Lol. No doubt bro, I was just letting the other poster know that it wasn't because of time zone differences.

With that said my 3 iPhones are on a FedEx vehicle for delivery today.
 
Cost

Any one have an idea of why AT&T is shipping some phones via fed ex and others (mine) via second day air USPS. Last year I had Fed ex overnight on the 3GS. I'm patient and all just curious about the change.

It would be based on cost.

UPS can be faster for very short hops and likely cheaper. Although I am sure they have a very complicated pricing scheme
 
Heyy everyone, I'm very happy this morning, I just came off BO!

I ordered 3 16Gb's from AT&T store on 7/25 (non-premier)

I have yet to receive shipping info though, but I'm just glad to be off backorder lol.

Good luck to everyone, hope I have shed some newly found hope.

I'll post when I get shipping info...if anyone cares...

Clarify?

I'm a 7/22 non-premier 16gb order from the AT&T store. Attached is my order, am I right that I am off back order and should be expecting a tracking # soon?

ordered 16gb 7/23 premier(regular site says 7/24) @ 11am. I have my fingers crossed that it will come off BO today. I am getting nervous though. :apple:
 
Ordered 7/24...AT&T Premier website. On BO still as of this morning...AND NOW IT CAN'T FIND MY ORDER??? WTF???

OS001: We're sorry but the information you entered was not recognized by our systems. Please contact us for further assistance.

The premier site still has it as "Processing" last updated 7/25...but the regular site can't find the order. I don't get it. :( This sucks. My 3GS is broken...and if I have to restart this process and wait another 2 weeks I'll scream.

yes, that seems to be the pattern. my tracking info came within 24 hours of coming off backorder, but ymmv
