Anybody stuck in the "processing" state right now that ordered in a timely fashion have simply not had a phone assigned to them yet, and this will be completed by September 19th @ 2200 EST.

I like how someone pointed out you originally typed September 17th, but now you changed it to the 19th. I've seen multiple screenshots of people who bought 16GB white phones shipping from Illinois, while all the shipping screenshots I've seen from people who bought the 16GB black phone have been coming from Nashville. Sadly, mine can't be found on UPS' website yet.

I mistyped. I clearly said if you don't have tracking my Thursday, you're hosed. I typed in today's date instead of Wednesdays date.

Don't believe me if you want, I'm just helping out.

I never said I don't believe you. Apple's order status page says that mine is getting delivered on 9/21, so I'm just going by that still. If it shows up on 9/21, awesome. If not, oh well.

confused.. is this info supposed to be for phones bought from apple.com or att... since you said these phones were all pre-ordered "by" att
 
Bought from ATT.com
I'm one of 7 middlemen between AT&T's e-com and Apple

I bought from Apples iPhone app. 16 GB black ATT. Mine still says preparing for shipment on Apple's site but I can go to UPS and see it by ref number. It's sitting in Tennessee.

Does that sound right? It says its .90 lbs, where as some people are saying theirs are 2 lbs. Also, why do I have a departure scan? Does that mean it left TN already? If it makes any difference, the shipping type on Apple's site is "Holiday Shipping" and I have no idea what that means.

Friday, 09/21/2012, by 3:00 P.M.(by end of day for residential deliveries)

I'm on the same boat, says mine departed Nashville @ exactly the same time. Oh how wonderful would it be to receive it a day early :rolleyes:
 
Can't see my information

I ordered my iphone 5 at 3:20AM EST but I am not able to see my tracking information on UPS or Fedex. Apples website says preparing for shipment and the delivery date says 9/21. Any help?

I'm in the same boat as you, I think we should just chill out until Wednesday. I ordered mine at 2:55am EST, and it's in the "Preparing for shipment stage"...

Ok, so let me ask you something, I ordered my 16gb white at&t phone at 1pm est and accepted t and c at 2:02pm est and my order still shows processing but when I ordered they said delivery by the 21st but i recieved a email on the 15th saying item will ship in 14-21 days- which is correct?
 
I ordered a black and a white 16GB phone from apple. Current tracking info has departure scans from nashville with ups next day saver for delivery on 9/21. Friday can't come soon enough.

where do you find your ref number on Apple's site? I tried the "order" number and it says it's not valid.
 
Not all 16gb's are in the states..mine originated in China and currently sitting in Alaska
 
There is a warehouse

In the States

that is currently holding 380,000 16gb iphone 5 phones

and they will ship from there. You will have tracking on wed.


Thank you for your patience.

got tracking for a 16 gb today through the reference and it's in Illinois.
 
Mine still said processing yet is still supposed to be delivered 9/21. It is a 16gb black at&t from apple.com do you think im alright?
 
I ordered a Black and White 16GB from AT&T directly as I set up a new account. Ordered at 4:10am EST and received first email at 4:11am and then the second with my phone numbers at 4:12am. I assume since they emailed me the phone numbers assigned to my new account I will have my on the 21st for sure. My current status is as followed...
