Ordered on 9/14 at 1:20 am pdt..Still "Pending Shipment" and backordered. I spoke with a guy from AT&T and he said that mine should be shipping today or tomorrow (Thursday) since I ordered well before the cut off. He did sound drunk though..so I'm skeptical. Literally by the way.
My girlfriend just saw that her bank blocked the charge to AT&T due to "suspicious activity". Even though she had the money.
So now AT&T canceled the order, and we won't get our phones til the 18th. of October.
Typing this out because it's better than punching things.

No, it's been active since AT&T gave me a tracking number late last night.
Mine flipped over to "Shipped" about 6:50am MST 9/19 for me and nothing since. It moved out of backorder the day before at around 8am so I'm thinking I'll have more info when I wake tomorrow.
Grrrr
Grrr, MacRumors ate my post twice now. I spent 10 minutes composing a reply twice now, and I guess my session timed out in the process, or something strange. I knew I should have composed it outside of the form, or at least copy and pasted it into a note. GRRR.

I'm thinking the same thing, I feel like we're going to get our phones on friday.
Can anyone with a tracking number get theirs with a reference number? I want to see if I have one or not. Can't trust AT&T site
Status switched to "Shipped" around 5:00pm PST earlier tonight (9/19). Still no tracking number. I'm hoping to see something by tomorrow. See my previous posts for more info.
Shipping and tracking info!

2012-09-14 12:01am PST - Tried to order on Apple.com and att.com but both sites weren't functioning
2012-09-14 02:30am PST - Finally got through on att.com and ordered an iPhone 5 64GB Black
2012-09-14 02:34am PST - Received email confirmation of my order
2012-09-14 08:30am PST - Received "Congratulations" confirmation indicating 9/21 arrival of the iPhone 5, order status show backordered, status is In Progress
2012-09-18 10:30pm PST - No longer backordered, but no shipping or tracking info.
2012-09-19 11:30am PST - Status moves to Shipped from In Progress, but no tracking info.
2012-09-19 10:30pm PST - Tracking info supplied for UPS. The ups.com tracking history shows that it was ready for shipping at 6:10pm CDT, was picked up by a UPS agent at 7:00pm CDT, and then left Memphis, TN at 11:30pm CDT.
Interesting to note that it took 4.5 hours from when the UPS agent scanned it for pickup until it flew out of Memphis. Probably due to loading the trucks, driving to the airport, scanning before takeoff, waiting on the runway, etc. Chances are high that since they are going to a major UPS hub, they had TONS of iPhones going everywhere in the country to load up which took hours.
So then I signed up for the SMS alerts on UPS' site, to get notified when the tracking changes, and it immediately sent me the current status, which was IN TRANSIT to Louisville, KY. This is information that didn't exist on the web tracking. I deduced that it was on flight UPS711 from Memphis to Louisville and I watched it fly and land on FlightAware (http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS711). Pretty awesome!
Now I'm figuring out which flight it'll take next. Since it will deliver to the SF Bay Area, it'll probably go to Oakland next, considering the next two flights out of Louisville that are headed my way are for Oakland (2:26am EDT and 3:23am EDT). I guess it all depends on how long it'll take to sort and get loaded onto the flights. It could layover in another airport/hub (like Denver, etc) on the way over, but doubtful considering UPS usually does hub-to-hub unless there are specific overrides.
So much fun to watch it on a map in realtime. Too bad there isn't a fully integrated solution where you can just provide it a tracking number, and it figures out which flights and shows you in realtime where your package goes. I imagine that would be useful to a lot of people, not just us insane Apple addicts

So based off of what people were saying about using Mail Innovations, this should be a good thing right? I used my zip code +4 and this is what came up.
Edit: disregard the Mail Innovations tip that was posted earlier. You can put whatever you want and it finds 1 package.

WTF! My 64GB white changed to "shipped" yesterday, and now it is showing as "N/A". The 64B black also changed to shipped yesterday and now I have a tracking number for it!
What does N/A (not applicable/not available/no answer?) mean?
