Yes, you will see prior movement once you get a tracking number. Usually I believe out of either Kentucky or Texas if I remember correctly. Additionally, I didn’t see movement last year until the day before literally last minute, but still got it on time.That is what I've always thought. So, AT&T gets no pre-stage in the USA for pre-orders? I suppose this makes sense since Apple has a global buyer base. Me, I'm supposed to see shipment on the 23rd. Of course if it is coming from overseas I've got a longer wait.
