Howdy,

I've gotten the 'bug' of watching my order status with the Direct Fulfillment. I wrote a small tool to give you a listing of your store's order queue (sorry if a repost or if someone else wrote a better one).

http://www.iphoneconvert.com/att.php

Enter the STORE'S ZIP (top of your receipt)
Enter the first order number (you'll need to guess how many orders were before you).
Enter the your order number (or have fun seeing how many more came after you...suckers).

NOTE: these are PHONE orders... not just iPhone (could be Crackberries/etc). Also, the web does not specify 8G vs 16G or Black vs White...

Good luck to all. :-D

p.s. I can not believe that everybody's name is broadcast on these forms!
 
Lol tools like these are starting to crash AT&T's servers.

TRUE! If you enter a range of say 500 orders, you may timeout. Each page needs to be loaded (scraped). So start near your number, then go down.

**Bumm'd that I have 119 (update... only 108) in front of me **

Hmmm, three people in front of me and one has shipped and two have not...

Neato program
 
I've got about 70 people unshipped in the queue ahead of me. About 150 total people... half have shipped.
 
Thanks for this handy little app! Now we can all crash AT&T servers as we query their order database every 15 seconds to see if we've moved up in the queue ... :D
 
I am 25th in line waiting to be shipped out of 49 orders (24 were shipped). That's really not as bad as I'd feared.

Thanks - you gave me a good laugh... as I refreshed the page (again) :rolleyes:

Thanks. I was feeling like I was playing Battleship... kept trying different numbers but they were scattered.

Battleship sunk!
 
Cool Tool.

48 iPhones have been shipped, 144 more to go until it's my turn. Ugh. Could be awhile =/

I was quoted as 7-10 days. I saw about 10 sitting on the back counter when I was there yesterday waiting to get picked up.

Thanks cool tool!
Depressing, but cool.
I noticed my "que" number changed from 11 to 10 to 13 in that order within 2 minutes of checking. You know why?
 
Date Shipped - I'll try

Changing Queue # - SLOW page loads.... (or wacky ATT server?)

Order number can be found on your receipt; under the total and only the numbers. Ex: PB46029033 - only use the 29033 (or use the confirmation info in the email that was sent).

For some reason when you refresh, it doesn't always show all of the orders, but rather "No Order ***** Found." Therefor those orders are not counted in line, but if you'll refresh again, some of the same orders will appear as expected, however others will disappear. Just add your number in line to the number of orders not found also in line and there you have it. I'm 25th in line. :( I ordered mine Friday around 5 pm. My status went from backordered to not backordered... back to backordered and finally, not backordered as of now (FRT still backordered). I'm hoping it goes out tonight. Nonetheless, I don't see why it wouldn't be here Friday.
 
number 41 here, but there are two stores that have the same zip code here, i don't know if that makes a difference.

I wish i could interpret the codes that are attached to the "shipped" notice, it might give a better idea of what is shipping.
 
the number next to your name does not include orders listed as "order not found" even though those are actually real orders. i have run the tool a number of times and my number jumps from 45ish to 60ish. but if you figure out the first order of iphones and add all the lines up from there to your name it should always be the same. i check it by putting in the number of that first order, and then my order.

i just ordered this afternoon, and looks like i am currently number 62, with only 19 phones having shipped so far, and only maybe half of the 7/11 orders shipped.
 
Running Stats

Interesting stats being created... (caching shipped/canceled for less load on ATT).

Did Apple short ATT on supplies? I think so.
