is "in progress" a step above "processing", or are they synonymous?

Black 32 ordered on 10/5, still on backorder. :\
 
Seeing all these white 16 gb is exciting me! I just hope mine gets shipped soon, still on BO.. WHT 16gb ordered on 9/23
 
hey guys i ordered a 32g white from an att store on 10/8 but i was checking the order status on the wrong website (the one they sent you via email) so i checked at this website https://www.wireless.att.com/order_status/
and it doesnt show that its back ordered it was the first time i checked on that website so do you think ill expect it soon or does it randomly go on back ordered??
 
to any wht 16gb 9/22 orders that have gone BO 0, what time did your order process? mine was at 6:40am. still BO 1..
 
Seems like all you guys that ordered on/around 9/20 are getting your phones now. Ordered mine on 9/30, so hopefully my turn is coming up soon. Still on backorder as of today (10/16)...
 
So this will be a final post. I figured, if anything, it will be a good point of references. 16gb WHT iPhone. Placed online through AT&T Premier.

9/20 (11AM PST)- Order placed and processed same day.
10/15 (2PM PST)- Item comes off of Backorder
10/15 (10PM PST) - Tracking info appears on Order Status page.
10/16 (7AM PST) - Email notification of tracking information. Item is scheduled to arrive via FEDEX Overnight on 10/17 before 3PM.

Best of luck to everyone. I know it's been excruciating. For those who are waiting on 20-22nd orders, I'd recommend to hold on and keep checking. I've managed to get some credit put into my account for the inconvenience. Call a CSR and ask to speak to Resolutions team or Customer Care.

Explain how long you've been a customer. How 14-21 business days is misleading because its in multiples of 7, not 5. Let them know how much this order has inconvenienced you. Ask for your upgrade fees waived. Anything. Be assertive.

Good luck!
 
BLK 16g processed 9/22 still BO'd..........

I want to know when you get off BO. Let us know!

I ordered 10/01/12. Hopefully we will see our orders move this coming Monday. My shipping window is 10/19-10/30.
 
I'm in the same camp as you. I ordered on Oct 2nd. Hopefully we'll get ours quickly.

Yeah, let me know when you get off back order as well. I don't have much hope in seeing our orders move until early to mid next week. Fingers crossed. What does your order status say? I have "in progress" and "pending shipment".

Oh Ok cool.. im a 10/11 order, maybe mine will go off backorder too... mine still shows BO

Why would we 10/1 orderers get shipped soon when some 9/20 orderers are still waiting? Don't get me wrong, I want mine to ship badly, but I just assume any of us who ordered in early October still have a week or two to wait.

Couldn't believe this day would come! :D I'm happy for you. Yeah it seems as if the 1s will be there forever lol.

Oh yes, but at least it's off BO, you know it will come soon :) Ohh how do you know what time it got processed? Cuz I don't see it on the status page... Yup just like my cousin's 16gb black. I was like let me check and boom! Off BO lol!

Got my shipping info! Ok, so here's my deets:

White 16gb Ordered 9/20 around 1pm
Processed 9/21 around 6am
Off BO 10/15 around 10pm
Order shipped 10/16
Due to arrive 10/18 by end of day via UPS! :D

So total wait time to get off BO was 17 business days, time to delivery 20 business days.

Ohh how do you know what time it got processed?

Look at the time on either the email they sent you or the text message! :)

Have you gotten off BO yet?

I too am wondering how people know what time their order was processed. I ordered 10/01/12 and I have only received one email about the order which was a confirmation email that was sent about an hour later that same day. I ordered at an AT&T store.
