My status just finally changed to shipped. No tracking number or carrier information.
 
Just curious....

It seems that there are two "good" statuses:

  • it says "Shipped" with a "1" in the Qty Shipped column, but nothing in the Carrier column, and nothing in the Tracking Number column.

or

  • it says "In Progress", a "0" in the Shipped column, "FedEx" in the Carrier column, and a tracking # in the Tracking Number column.


Does anyone's status have all of the above columns complete? Meaning "Shipped", "1" in Qty shipped column, FedEx as carrier, and a tracking #? Doesn't seem to exist yet....

I ordered a 16GB white and 32 GB black, one has one of these status and one has the other.
 
16GB black ordered 9/14 7:15AM EST through premier. Status went to back order 0 last night. Status now shows "shipped" as status with no tracking number.
 
I'm in the same boat. And actually I just checked and my credit card has not been billed either. Wondering if I should do something at this point...


I was billed $1 the minute I finished ordering my phone (I guess that $1 held my phone? Idk?) but I was billed my full payment within a day or so....so i am not sure how the whole billing thing is being worked out! I read a lot of things about that situation and it kind of has me worried!
 
You absolutely have to be home to sign if you ordered from AT&T with UPS. My experience last year with the 4S proves it. I called AT&T and UPS and the answer I got was the contract that AT&T has with Apple says it has to be signed for. I ended up "chasing" down my UPS guy at the local lawnmower repair shop to get my phone. It was a real pain in the butt. They wouldn't even let me designate a neighbor or sign the little slip they leave. Had to show ID.

Maybe it depends on your area and like I said AT&T vs. Apple, or FedEx vs. UPS. I've never had to sign for ANY phone ordered through AT&T, including my iPhone 4.
 
I hope that the 3rd party vendors can start churning these things out along with the adapters chop, chop.

I've seen some no-name knock-off cables on preorder on eBay for cheap but no way am I going to be a guinea pig just to save $15.
 
Very frustrating. Ordered first thing when I got to my office on Friday (not staying up until 3, that's really disadvantageous for east-coasters). Just got an email that it'll be 14-21 days.

Meanwhile my iPhone 4, which was on its last legs, is totally dead now. Will not turn on. So I'm without a phone for work for up to 21 business days.

AT&T: we'll remind you of what life was like before cell phones.
 
Just got the official shipped from AT&T e-mail

My status updated to SHIPPED. Woot woot.

Ordered 7:20am EST on premier 9/14, 16gb, att site showed 9/15 order date

Same here. Just went off back order for me about 10 minutes ago.

Charge date of 9/15 for the full amount doesn't matter.

I should be getting mine soon as well then because I ordered at 3:04 and had both confirmation e-mails by 3:11 EST. I noticed your order # starts with 10 and so does mine. I have the tracking number but no shipped status yet.

We'll see
 
Still back-ordered.. Talked to a few CSR.. And they can't tell me why... Apparently my order was in on time I got charged the amount and "signed" my t&c on time.... Eh
 
Mine just changed to Shipped.. although no tracking information.

I ordered Black iPhone 5 64GB no commitment options via the normal att website.

Ordered 2:19AM MST 9/14/2012

Received confirmation email not until 9:17AM MST 9/14/2012

Said status processing until now:

2:20PM MST 9/19 says shipped... no tracking yet.
 
Well, it's 4:25 and my 32GB black iPhone 5 still hasn't shipped. But to be fair, in 2010 it didn't ship until 5:45 and I still received it next day.

Some good news though, on 09/16 I ordered a spare Lightning-to-USB cable and that arrived today FROM CHINA. It's soooo small!!
