Someone here posted that they order in store at 10:30 EST and they are OFF back order.
I ordered at 10:04 EST IN STORE and I am still on backorder!
The hell?!

Ok I did that, mine says Status: In Progress, Quantity Ordered 1, Quantity Back-ordered 1, Tracking Number: Pending Shipment
So...despite no further e-mail indicating a 9/21/14 shipment for me...it's quite possible that I could receive it tomorrow? (Crossing fingers and toes.)
Same. I live in Seattle and might started in Indiana and went to Texas. Wrong flight pattern ?
Exactly I have no idea. Everything says 6:00 so I don't know if it went from TX to Indiana or the other way around. Which for me it doesn't make much sense since neither are close to NC but oh well.
So they received your order and next step is for a phone to be assigned to you. Once that "1" under back-order goes to 0, things start moving.
No idea but I haven't received any emails or texts about my order at all even though i have tracking. I wish they were more consistent. It's like half the people get this and the other half gets that. Nothing makes any sense
What makes you think this?
Often times the "hold" option is "not available" until the package has reached the initial hub.
In my experience, once it has passed the origin hub and is in transit to your local satellite processing center is when the redirect becomes active.
After that as long as you catch it before they have loaded it onto your local delivery truck they get a HAL (Hold At Location) decal on it and redirect it to your chosen FedEx location.
If it is already on the local delivery truck then it is too late and it wont be redirected until the NEXT delivery day.
Timing is the key.
P.S. I've redirected literally 40-50 FedEx packages this way and it works every time! The employees at my local FedEx Office know me by name!
I could be wrong but the lady at FedEx on the phone this morning said my package is not eligible so I assumed that applies to everyone. Why would mine not be but someone else's is? But I think you are right. It could be that it hasn't reached where I live yet. Thanks for the post.
i recieved this as an email and another email with the subject, "Your iPhone CSS" eariler today, ordered over the phone 10am, blk 32GB, order: 9041, but still says backordered 1 and nothing about tracking or shipped anywhere
My "Your Order Has Shipped!" emails only came about 8-10 hours AFTER the tracking number popped up on the online status page.
This. Is the same position as me. What then? I have in progress and 0 back order.
Don't count on it! Your answers land on some report that someone will pull in a week or so.
Well it's coming down to the bitter end for us 1612ers ....
Im in WI1910 here ordered @ 3:40am cst black 64g. Still says back ordered. I did not receive my confirmation email until 4:30pm sat afternoon. **** u AT&T!
Probably was not eligible AT THAT MOMENT. But it likely will be once it starts moving toward you.
Just catch it before it gets onto your local truck!
