back order 0 : 9/22, 5pm-11pm.
tracking # show : 9/25, 11 am - 3pm.

finally i'll get it tomorrow at 3pm. :D:D

Ordered mine a few minutes later Eastern time (16gb blk) just went back order 0 but I don't have shipping info yet.
:D
 
Also, update to my last post. For what it's worth I'm a 1612 order. Ordered at 9:45 PM CST on the 14th. Off backorder as off about 1:50

I'm a 1612 that ordered 12 hours after you, so I guess that's good news for me?
I've started to see multiple 1612s start to ship.

I am part of that order number but still on back order. I ordered on the 14th but did not get processed correctly until 17th.

Could be. My girlfriend ordered around when you did, but she's still backordered and has the oct. shipping date. She's also not a 1612, but I'm not sure if that means anything or not.
 
I found two phones at a Radio Shack store. AT&T will only cancel my order in store and in person (I ordered instore). I will go cancel and then go to Radio Shack. Is there anything I need to do to make sure they reset my eligibility right away?
 
Shipment info

What was your order # and where are you shipping to.. If you don't mind telling me. I'm in Miami and my number is the the 1406 set. I still have no tracking number :confused:


Order # group 1910, shipping to the San Francisco Bay Area. Says picked up from Memphis TN, but order still says "in progress" not "shipped"
 
Finally!!!

Black iPhone 5 just got its FedEx tracking number. Stoked!!!

9/14 10:38 am pdt, in-store upgrade order
Backordered until some time last night (between 9 pm pdt and 11:30 pm pdt)

Oddly, the FedEx Results show shipped to Wilmington, DE. Am I missing something? Is that a drop off point? WTF.
 
Ordered 8:05am pdt on 9/14, 32gb white. Still backorder 1. Every time someone who ordered hours after me posts their shipping info, I want to punch them. :)
 
32 black ordered 9/14 8 pm pst in store. Still back ordered. I asked for a $100 credit, I got it, and now I'm reading people are getting coupons for iPhone accessories. So I will be calling demanding that as well

But what were you quoted when you ordered in store? I ordered in store way before you, and I was told 14-21 days. We're not even inside that window yet.

Appears to be a false alarm. For some reason the status page pulled a different order number. Must be a system glitch. OK. I'm back to waiting. :(:confused:

nevermind
 
From the time the phone goes off back order to the time you get a tracking number, is it about two to three days or so?

-------- Every order's different .
I've seen some people post they waited up to 2 or 3 days .
I just got mine in less than 24 hours .
 
Preordered on 14th... still on backorder

I'm in the 1406 group and ordered around 9am ish PST time on the 14th and STILL on backorder... anyone else in this same group? Others who preordered after this timing have received their iphone. :(
 
  • Ordered 6:10 PM on Friday, September 14 via my local AT&T store.
  • Received email confirmation of the order and new contract terms immediately
  • Received email the next day (15th) stating that the phones would ship in 14-21 days
  • Stayed in backorder status all week
  • Switched from 1 to 0 backorder status sometime Saturday evening, the 22nd. It was between 7PM and 11PM because I did not check in that window
  • Saw tracking number on order status page about 4:00 PM today, the 24th for one of the phones

UPDATE

  • my 64GB black was delivered this morning at 10:38 am
  • I went to the store because the numbers had to be switched since I used another line on my account to upgrade. Got home around 1:00 pm and check the order status for my wife's 16GB black. It now has a tracking number and is scheduled for delivery tomorrow!
 
Does AT&T email us when the phone status changes from processing to shipped? I'm wearing myself out checking the order status website all the time :eek:

Geez... Tell me about it! This sucks. My BF ordered his phone through Apple the same time. Of course he got his delivered today along with a handful of other people who ordered after me. It's just not adding up correctly. Boo!

I ordered my 16GB Blk in store on the 15th. Anybody have any updates with their "late" preorders?

Ordered 9am ish PST online. Still on backorder.

Sorry... forgot to put i ordered on 14th.
 
Ugh... I ordered at 6:30 AM on 9/14 and I'm still backordered.. I'm so upset with AT&T it isn't funny... they won't even cancel the order.. I am still eligible for upgrade until it ships though and I have no probably cockblocking them by going to RadioShack or Best Buy and purchasing my device if I could only find one...
 
Order# 1612 and ordered at 3PM CST. Mine is now no longer on Backorder (status to 0). 16GB BLK.

Now we play the waiting game on if it will ship or not.

As a side note ATT told me I would not receive my phone until Oct. 18.
