AT&T iPhone 4S Pre-Order Status Thread

It's odd, I ordered a black 32gb iphone 4s, and a minute later I ordered a white 64gb iphone 4s. The black one received a tracking number sometime between 3am and 6 am EST. The white one still has no tracking number. The bummer is when I ordered the black one, I told the AT&T employee I wanted white, and he made a mistake. I noticed it moments later when my receipt was printed. He couldn't cancel the order, which is dumb as heck. Now when I receive my phone I can't open it, he said he would hold a white one for me and I can replace it. What a pain! Now I have to hope he holds one for me. He gave me a 30% discount on any non Apple accessory, but their accessories are no good. *first world problems i know

I placed my AT&T order on line 10/7/2011, received confirmation 10/7/11 at 8:06am. For 3 days could not find status of order and called customer service. They advised order could not be found. At 8:00pm on 10/10/2011 received another confirmation email with original order number but it showed order processed on 10/10/2011. It is my understanding that this happened to anyone with an order number beginning with 1401. My order status shows backordered but no shipping date. When I call AT&T they have no clue and everyone gives you different answers. Did this happen to anyone else? If so, have you received any type of shipping information status. Very frustrated with AT&T and will never order through them again!!!

unfortunately your situation is just about as similar as mine.... i ordered my 64gb white model at 4:10am EST on 10/07/11 and they didnt process it till 10/10/11.... and i still show as backordered..... no progress at all.... my order still shows that i ordered it on 10/07/11... but in complete back order and none of the ATT reps can help cuz they just dont know what theyre doing anymore... i hate having to call them because of their mistake of processing my order 3 days later....if i dont get my phone within the first shipment... you can bet that i will call and make sure they waive the upgrade fee cuz i will be pissed off!
 
Our FedEx driver is claiming they've been told to hold all Apple shipments for delivery until Friday. He says their facilities have security present as well.

Hopefully, this isn't true...but if it is, it's looking like Apple has made sure AT&T customers won't get their 4s until Friday. :(

1401 or 1014? Both of my premier orders begin with 1014 and I've had mad issues (to say the least) since ordering on 10/7.
 
64GB Black

Ordered my 64 GB Black at 12:30 ET on the 7th. Still says back ordered. Is there anyone with an order time in the late morning or afternoon of the 7th on a 64 GB that says shipped yet?? It seems like all the 64 GB orders I've seen on here ( beyond some very initial early morning orders) haven't shipped yet. I'm wondering if the 64's are in a later bulk shipment than the 16's and 32's?

Mine has not shipped yet either. Ordered 2 AM PST through AT&T.
I'm not concerned.

A few people earlier were talking about the strange fedex tracking #'s that started with 5, then some revealed more: 502, now a couple posts back I saw someone's number that was 5023xxxxxxxx
mine is 502321xxxxxx
I thought I saw someone else say they called fedex and they said that their number was part of a bulk order and that we'd get new numbers later this afternoon. I was just checking to see if anyone else's number followed this same pattern... to confirm fedex's story....
(I just want to stop hoping the fedex site will update, and get a REAL tracking #)

mine also starts with 502321

Why wouldn't you slap a case around that phone? Yes it's beautiful but it's also not so beautiful if you drop it and your screen is cracked in pieces.

I agree that you should have a case on the phone. My point is why do people care so much about the design when it will be covered by a case?

The reason why tracking numbers don't work is because they haven't been scanned or SHIPPED Again, they have NOT been shipped. All they did was create a label and slap it on the box. I have confirmed this with FedEx. They know a label has been created but they don't know where or by whom. This happens every year so they have an educated guess that it is iPhone orders. The tracking number confirms that a box does exist and is on hold until the 13th, Thats it. We will have to wait until later today or tomorrow for the tracking information to be updated. And because AT&T sucks at updating information, you may not be able to track it until it is already in your hands. I hope this helps people wondering why their tracking numbers don't work.

From my information, they have shipped, but aren't scanned at every stop they make like usual. They're scanned when they're shipped, and they're scanned when they deliver due to high demand.

In this case the orders are still sitting in a AT&T warehouse close to your home waiting to be picked up and scanned by FedEx/UPS. Until then your tracking number will not work.

To back up your lack of concern, my 64GB black that I ordered around 2:30 PM CST shows a shipped status, so I'm sure your's will ship as well. I'm guessing the systems don't all update in order.

Yeah, mine. I'm sure your's will be too.

Edit: hahaha, I offer useful feedback and get voted down. I have a stalker. :D
