F=Freight
FDE=FedEx the number after it corresponds with where it was shipped from
2 PHONE=iPhone, the 2 is there because it's list after shipping on the order status results page
 
I'm going to eat at a place at the mall tonight so I'm going to test my luck by stopping at the Apple Store if I have time. If anything, I'll get to see them again, and possibly see a white one this time.
 
Shipped!!

I've been refreshing the queue all day and I just saw that my phone shipped at 12:04pm today!! I'm hoping that means I can get it tomorrow! Woohoo!

Anyone have any guidance as to when FedEx delivers? I'm picking it up at the NYC AT&T store at 17th&6th.

I ordered a 16gb black on 7/17 at around 6:00pm. If I can get it tomorrow, it will have been 9 business days (they quoted 10-21 when I bought it).
 
alright i have a question...so i have been checking where i am in line all day and i havent moved up at all and they didnt ship one phone to my store..but does this mean they are done shipping for the day? it is only 7:00..do they ship all night??
 
Looks like i've moved up to # 6 in line at my store 2 iphones were shipped today so far still seems very slow on iphones being shipped out from the warehouse.
 
Queue not moving!

My store still has orders from 7/15 that are not filled... It's probably my store's fault. In retrospect, I wish I would have ordered it from a different one since they don't really seem to know their stuff (even though it's in an affluent area with high iphone demand)... My salesman quoted me with a 2-3 day wait "at the most" (I ordered a 16 gb black on 7/22) ...he also said that the dock came with the phone when I had asked if there were any docks in stock....So not only am I frustrated at his useless-ness, but the queue not moving lately is just about to set me off....:mad:

*Of course after I vent I see that I've moved up...but it wasn't due to the phones shipping...instead, ~ 15 ppl canceled their order...

Aaargh! Like I said to the other guy, I'm happy you got yours shipped, but it is a tad unsettling for those of us who ordered our black 16s on the 16th. Maybe the east and west coasts have different distributers? I don't know, but I'm closer to China than you!

That said, I just now went from 1 to 0 on the backorder for the phone again, so maybe, just maybe...

Mine shipped too. I feel your pain. That sucks. You should definitely have received yours before me. It will finally be here tomorrow. Mine was the ordered on the 18th, but it was the first one. The guy from 7/15 must have ordered the 8GB because I shipped before him. The four closest to me that were ahead of me shipped.

What a screw. Sorry your phone hasn't shipped yet. I noticed on my queue that people who ordered phones on the 16th hadn't shipped yet either. So as we've seen, the queue isn't really a direct line. Unfortunately.
 
Anyone able to use queue checker?

AT&T added that passphrase entry and now the queue isn't working...Anyone know of a way to still check the queue???

No - they're using the same random password generator that Ticketmaster.com uses. I think the days of queue checking may have just ended... :mad:
 
That does suck. I guess they want to leave it all a mystery!!! You can still check just your own from the email they sent, but we are probably not going to have our checker any more!!!

Darn!!!!

I was getting so close...they will probably say that is what caused the server crash...
 
Ha... I sort of kept an excel spreadsheet with the queue so now I know which ones to check. My geekness paid off on this one. Currently, I'm #27.

Same here - I was #32 just before AT&T changed their site. The local store shipped 22 phones so far today, so maybe mine will go out tomorrow or Thursday at the latest...

I had done that. I was printing pdfs of it before. Then it was enough to just write down. And now my phone shipped so it doesn't matter. That sucks that they added that though. It'd be nice if they just updated it for you. It's a simple query of their database.

For everyone else, if you're a low enough number, you can just check them manually and then only check the ones you need to.
 
I think I am still ok, since someone who ordered right before me(26992) - (I am 26996) - Is going to have theirs delivered tomorrow, and they ordered the 19th. There are plenty from much earlier dates that have not shipped yet, and by the guesstimation of the most backordered to be black 16 gb, I should be having mine very soon. I was only 4 away last I checked, and there was one white 16 gb delivered in between us (it took 2 days for delivery), so I should be (fingers crossed) 3rd in line.

Blerg. 7/19s got shipped today to your store? When did the site update to show this? I ordered 7/19 and I'm still waiting to ship.
 
By the way, the order status page is about 6+ hours off. I had checked mine at 7 and I came back from dinner to find out that it had been picked up at 1:43. They probably didn't update it until it left the FedEx facility at 7:52.

West coast people might be delayed by the three hour time difference.

Great observation. :D

Thanks. I hope it comforts some of you, and helps others out. 2-3am would probably be the latest it would notify you if your phone shipped. That's probably why people have said that they woke up and saw that their phone was shipped.
