AT&T iPhone 4S Pre-Order Status Thread

Wondering if theres a methodical way in which FedEx and UPS are processing and shipping to those of us who made the delivery on 10/14 cut like is some computer crunching delivery zip codes and processing/confirming shipments FIRST to those in areas that might require more connections and effort for delivery, versus addresses in larger cities with presumably more delivery assets and those located in FedEx/UPS hubs especially with such a large set of orders to deliver by one specific day.
Would be interested to hear from people in large cities and FedEx/UPS hubs that have received delivery confirmations as we can't see where most posters live.
I received confirmation of my 4s, 64GB, black, phone order on the Apple site around 1:30AM PST on Friday, and Im kinda surprised I still show as preparing for shipment I live in Portland, OR. With that said, I have no idea as to whether Portland would be considered to be an easy to deliver to city.
The FedEx/UPS tracking trick didnt work for me, even with multiple number formats tried, but I suppose that makes sense as the charge to my credit card still hasnt gone thru.
Ridiculous theory? Anyone with insight into FedEx/UPS?? Just a thought as I read through all the posts here and try to make sense of how this is working.
Still confident my phone will arrive on Friday and cant wait!!!
I'm pretty sure they do it the same way as Santa Claus.
Does anyone have it through UPS and does it say World Ease as product? Really would not want to flip through 20+ pages of thread,,,

Hello, I pre ordered a 64gb white model this past Friday at 2:05am pst /5:05 eastern time. I ordered from the AT&T premier site and I have received only one email stating that my phone was reserved and I should receive it by Friday the 14th.
I have then checked my order status through 3 methods all with a slightly little information:
1. www.wireless.att.com/order_status It says the following; Date Ordered: October 7th, Status: In progress,QTY Back-Ordered: 1, and Tracking number: Pending Shipment.
2.www.wireless.att.com/business/order_status It says the following, Date Ordered: October 7th, 2011 Status: Pre-Order, and Last Updated October 7th
3.www.att.com/eos/processOSRequest It says the following; Date Ordered October 7th 2011, Shipment Status: Backordered, Item Status: Processing, Last Update: The items in your order are not in stock. We have placed an order, and your estimated shipment date is as indicated. For more information on your order, please call us at 1-866-391-0749
I'm a little confused...But I did order in the early hours of Friday as soon as premier's website became available. I do see my bank has been debited as well. I am hoping that I receive my iphone the latest on Saturday, what I am concerned is that somehow I am now in the 14-28 day waiting list. Has anyone else experienced this with a 64gb model on premier? Thanks.

I ordered via Apple directly.
Order
This is my order status page.
My date ordered was on 10/7/11
Item status says "processing"
But my shipment status says "back ordered"
What does this mean?

We are pretty much all in that same boat - at least those of us who ordered directly from AT&T and we don't know what it means... from what i've read in this thread.
Does "backorder" appear in one of the columns? Trying to find out if people are seeing 'backordered' elsewhere.

I ordered my 4S through AT&T on the phone because I needed to get it shipped to a different address. Placed the order at 7:30am Eastern on Friday morning.
I still can't even check the order status online. It tells me the order is not found. When I call, they tell me that it's in there but I won't be able to check the order status until the 14th.
If I can't even check the order until the 14th, WHO KNOWS when I'll actually get the phone. I'm so angry/sad. I want my new iPhone
I think I just screwed myself by ordering on the phone. Am I the only one in this situation?

Well, I don't know if it's for real or not but apparently, my cousin got a free sample of iPhone 4s. I don't live in US so I can't get it.
Here's the link to get a FREE iPhone 4s sample to test: http://bit.ly/iphone4ssample
P.S. I hate my cousin!
Hit the road and stop spamming the board
I ordered on the 7th at about 7 and got an email confirmation immediately.
In the upper right corner it says back ordered. Do all orders say this?
Whats the trick to track these things?
mine is no longer backordered
Now says Pending Shipment.
Remember doing this last time.
No worries. They'll come in.
It is fun watching the planes though.

I ordered a black 64GB one through ATT's site and I'm a Premier member. Ordered it Friday at about 3:45am and received the confirmation email shortly thereafter. Since the 7th, ATT's site says order in progress, backordered, and pending shipment and hasn't changed since.
I think the 64GB models are a little "delayed" because from what I've been reading in some of these threads is that the people who ordered the 16 and 32GB models are the ones who's orders are progressing and even shipping. The people who ordered the 64GB ones have had their orders stagnant the last few days.

Something tells me that the Shipping Status wont change until the 13th. Possibly on the 12th when the label is printed.
That's my guess.
That's my guess.
It's not just the 64gb when it comes to AT&T... I ordered 32gb and its still on backorder
agreed 100% people whom ordered from Apple can track their orders because they are going from china to your doorstep, however the carriers are shipping from here in the states to your doorstep. If you ordered before 4pm on Friday, you will get your iphone on the 14th just relax people, its gonna be a long week for us all if we dont calm down and take it day by day....
BTW: the carriers should start shipping Tuesday or Wednesday the latest(my best guess)
Status Update
Thats what I am trying to find out as well. I think that only AT&T orders are having these issues. From the sounds of things Apple orders are in transit probably on our side of the hemisphere already. Maybe its only the 32gb or 64gb orders are having this issues "processing" "back order" status.

So after a 1 hr 30 min hold on premier I finally got a rep..great guy...told me there was a problem with my order..I ordered two iPhones a family plan but their system showed one on family one on individual..he put me on hold for about 10 more mins..came back on the line and told me that not only did he correct the issue, but was able to "overnight" the devices...I'm assuming bc of the time I won't get it until Weds..but still great news..1-2 hrs b4 I get the e mail conf w tracking #...
