I just got a big fancy email from ATT saying my iPhone had shipped with all sorts of information on how to set it up etc. Still no tracking info.
 
ordred at 3:57AM EST 10/7 from att.com here are the results even though the person on the chat assures me I will get it on friday. I have received 3 emails from att all saying the same thing "my order is pending shipment" blah blah blah
phone better get here on-time or its going to be a very bad day for some unsuspecting ATT rep.

My order number begins with 1401, ordered on 10/7, received confirmation on 10/10 and order shows as being placed on 10/10. AT&T on numerous ocassions they have no idea when my order will ship. Please post when you receive a shipping notification or number.

My order begins 1401 as well and follows your 10/7 to 10/10 timeline. I'll post when ATT moves my order from back ordered to shipped and gives me a tracking number.
 
My status is shipped on the 9th. Clicking on the FedEx tracking link, I get this message.

Not Found
No information for the following shipments/FedEx Office orders has been received by our system yet. Please try again later or contact Customer Service.
 
if you read my post correctly, then you didn't need to ask this question. but to iterate what I've said before, yes, i will not use them
And these are the unreasonable expectations apple and its providers have to try and live up to. A company is faulted for doing everything they said they would. Silly!
 
I've given up on AT&T. I pre ordered in store on Friday around 3:30PM PST and my order is still back ordered. Did not realize that it was back ordered until just 30 minutes ago. I'm extremely pissed and frustrated. Just going to not care about this whole situation and go play Gears of War 3 now. Everyone have fun with this situation.. best of luck to all of you. My phone will probably get here in 3 months, knowing AT&T and their services. But hey, at least I'll open it and go "Oh yeah, I forgot all about ordering this thing. Yay. -__-" instead of waiting day and night for my order just to stop being back ordered.
 
Even though my fedex tracking number would not give me any information, I called FedEx and they were able to tell me that they have it at a FedEx location in Fort Worth Texas. He said it should leave from there tomorrow. I'm holding out hope that it will be here tomorrow.

AT&T, however has been worthless. They don't know anything about anything.

My FedEx Rep said the same thing about mine being in Fort Worth, TX. I am in NYC so am doubtful I will get this early if it is not scheduled to "move" until tomorrow. FedEx has been more helpful than AT&T, but should not be a surprise.
 
Aloha everybody,

I checked this morning and my iPhone 4S has shipped finally! I just thought it was interesting that it is called "World Ease" on UPS' tracking page. I've attached a screenshot.

I have a question for those whose iPhones are also shipping. Looking at the Shenzhen entry, a selected service was indicated as not available to the destination, which in my case is Hawaii. Has anyone else seen that on their tracking pages? If so, do you have any clue as to what that means? I am by no means anxious or worried, just curious. I hope it actually gets to me on Friday and not tomorrow, as I have Friday off from work. I'm not sure if anyone will be home tomorrow when the UPS guy comes.

All I know is that my wife is stoked. She gets my iPhone 4 and I get the new iPhone 4S. Then, we'll just have to get a micro sim from the local AT&T store and she'll be good to go! (She's using my old iPhone 3G now).

Figured Id sign up. Been lurking for awhile and finally had a reason to sign up.

Just got off the phone with FedEx. Used to tracking number ATT provided. They told me the package was in Fort Worth, TX and it was scheduled to be on my doorstep tomorrow morning.

It's on the right hand side of that email. Under your order number. Mine is in kind of a weird blue font, so maybe you can't see it?
 
Stayed up late drinking....

damn, thats a good exuse though. i gave up drinking due to its negative effects, namely- ruining all aspects of my life, hahaha, but either way i would say with some degree of confidence that you will get your phone friday since you ordered it before 5pm

Get rid of that hideous SIG, my god....
 
I'm feeling the exact same way!! I ordered 10/7 @9:00 EST on att.com and mine still says processing also..... I guess we will see what happens

Ordered Black 64GB at 1:30AM PST, received order confirmation e-mail, nothing since, still says Backordered/Processing.
