from an att email I received when it shipped:

Because of unprecedented volume, it may be as much as 72 hours before the carrier can provide any detailed information to you. Please don't be concerned if you visit the carrier's site and specific information about your order is not provided. The information will be updated when the carrier picks up the order at our warehouse.

This is true even for regular orders on the internet. It will take at least 6 hours for things to usually show up
 
Mine is showing 0 quantity shipped, but has a fedex tracking number...my guess is that they're in the process of sealing the box and applying the label :confused: I can't wait (well, yes, I can...but I don't wanna :D)

shipped !!!! :)

ordered at regular att store, last name "w"

perhaps my backwards theory will prove true...

Maybe. I'm "v" so I'll let you guys know if my status changes. I'm currently backordered, ordered via premier.
 
Just hanged up with a very nice Premier Agent :D

I was concerned to the fact that I haven't received a shipment confirmation.

She assured me that ALL ORDERS DONE ON JUNE 15th WILL BE SHIPPED ON WEDNESDAY AND RECEIVED ON THURSDAY THE 24th regardless on what time they were ordered .. She says they just had a meeting regarding this !!!

Also, the fact that some people have received confirmation already and some have not is because they are also processing by the first letter of the last name !!!

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride !! Hopefully Thursday will get here soon
enough and I hope FedEx doesn't show up at 8pm :D

Are they only processing Premier orders by last name? Because my last name ends with an A and I haven't been shipped yet.
 
No dice for me either. 16GB iPhone 4

Premier says ordered June 15th (which is when I ordered it)
-"Processing"
-Last Updated: June 17th

AT&T says ordered June 16th (not true)
-"In progress"
-Quantity backorder (not happy about what that could mean)


Hoping it all changes soon like it has for others!

Same EXACT status as me. Hopefully we get some sort of update..
 
Received my Order Shipment Notification email from AT&T premier this morning at 7am! It has a FEDEX tracking number and more instructions on how to activate the phone.

att's order status page changed from backordered=1 to 0 yesterday afternoon.

I placed my order for the 32GB iPhone 4 at 1:30am PDT on June 15th. Can't wait until Thursday!

Also, I preordered a 16GB for my girlfriend at 10am on June 15th. Her att order status page still says backordered=1, and her date ordered reads June 16th. Hopefully her's will be shipping soon too.

I ordered through the premier website at around 8:30AM EST or so on the 15th. It still says backordered. My last name begins with "H" if that matters. Very discouraging....
 
My order status shows "shipped" but the carrier is "null" although there is a tracking number. I tried the tracking number at both UPS and FEDEX with no recognition by either company of that number. Is anyone else having similar problems? I ordered mine on June 15 at about 5:15a.m (EDT).

Mine says "null" as well. I don't think it is a problem as the email gives me a FEDEX tracking number matching what the att order status has listed.
 
I got my shipping confirmation email from AT&T Premier for one of my orders. The status of other one changed from 101 to 100 late yesterday. I hope I get both of them on 24th.
 
First letter of my lname is "X"...guess I'll be waiting a while!

:eek:

My last name begins with K... so I think the alphabetical theory is bunk
 
Are they only processing Premier orders by last name? Because my last name ends with an A and I haven't been shipped yet.

What they are doing is first processing the obsessive people who refresh AT&T Status pages over and over and over. Why? Because these people are eating up bandwidth and putting unnecessary load on AT&T systems, so they want to rid themselves of these people first. The sane people will get packaged last.
 
From my email from AT&T:
If you pre-ordered the iPhone 4, it is staged for pickup by our shipping carrier. Because of unprecedented volume, it may be as much as 72 hours before the carrier can provide any detailed information to you. Please don't be concerned if you visit the carrier's site and specific information about your order is not provided. The information will be updated when the carrier picks up the order at our warehouse.

Good to know. I haven't received any shipping confirmation email from AT&T though, hope that comes soon. Maybe I should check with customer service..

I'm on the same exact boat as you :)
 
They are not processing on a first come first serve basis. I just got off of the phone with att.

I don't believe that is the case. I've been tracking friends orders peoples order on this site. I ordered at 6:30AM PST on AT&T Premier and I have not yet shipped.

The moral of the story is go to AT&T's website and refresh like a crazy person.

They've now introduced new tiered "order status data plans". Only about 0.5% of those with iPhone orders were using up 99% of the bandwidth. Most people will save....:p

If that's the case, my wife has a while to go. Her last name starts with Y.. haha
 
last name irrelevant. Got my shipment confirm early this morning. My last name begins with "Z"

worst possible letter ever.:(

With the way this whole thing is going.....You just know that phones are going to show up to peoples houses before the 24th......I know apple loves to make them wait.......but this is so chaotic that some are going to slip through the system don't chya think???
