First world problems, huh?
Mine's stuck in Louisville, KY for over 24 hours.
OP, this GIF is incomplete. There are 14 more frames missing. I'll google the complete one and post it here. It's hilarious.
I placed my iphone 5 pre order at 12:27 eastern standard time. My account address info was wrong since I receive paperless billing. Not wanting to have my precious iphone 5 sent to a place I no longer lived, I ordered from AT&T.
This is 100% the fault of AT&T being a terrible poorly managed company.
That is unfair, and false advertising.
AT&T broke their promise. They are a pos company. End of story.
I got one even better: having been a Verizon customer for 10+ years, I asked them to give me free internet, cell phone, and home phone service for the rest of my life. They denied. What a POS company.AT&T broke their promise. They are a pos company. End of story.
My credit card has a zero balance and a $60,000 credit limit.
What an unintelligent thing to say.
I know it's fashionable to blame everything on AT&T, but your account must be in order first. Even if you think everything is fine, if you have not performed a verification prior to pre-ordering you are exposing yourself to problems.
For four years in a row I have received my AT&T iPhone on release day or the day before at 9:40 am to 9:50am via FedEx. It's the best service ever.
My brother orders via Apple and has to wait all day... That's nothing against Apple, It's UPS vs FedEx and where you are on the route. I use Apple for everything else. A minimum of once a year I order the latest BTO MBP, MBA etc and always receive stellar service.
It's all about the buyer being organized, verifying that there are no billing or credit card issues _before_ attempting to pre-order.
Neither Apple or AT&T can accept or process an order for a customer with account, or payment issues.
If you ordered as soon as the sites went live then you may remember that AT&T's site gave the option of modifying your shipping address. Apples site would temporarily only allow phones to be shipped to your phone providers billing address.
I have had paperless billing for years. My AT&T billing address is from a home I lived in during college, that has since been torn down to make way for a new development.
Not wanting to risk having my phone shipped to a parking lot, I opted to go with AT&T.
Hind site being 20/20 I should have just gone through apple, and hoped to get through in time to change the shipping address but it was not a risk I was willing to take at the time.
Atts guarantee of launch day delivery swayed me from my first instinct of ordering through apple.
Call me bitter but if you were in my(and many the other people who ordered from AT&T) shoes you would feel the same way.
I'm sure if you are an avid enough apple fan to take time out of your day to come to this website then you understand. Waiting around for 21 business days without a iPhone 5, while all of your friends have theirs is bs, and tantamount to torture. The Internet will be nothing but people lauding there new iPhone 5 while you wait by the mailbox for AT&T to get their act together.
Even the most patient person would have at least a little animosity, and resentment towards AT&T. I never claimed to be patient though.
Childish? Spilt milk? First world problem? Maybe but it just kills me that they didn't process chronologically.
Had I lackadaisically logged on in the morning and then had to wait I wouldn't care. However I cancelled plans. Set up a command center with my iPad phone and MacBook. Then tryed frantically to get in. Got through with AT&T.com and went to bed satisfied that my phone was in the mail.
It's not A phone - it's THE phone. Plus it's not like we haven't been teased with rumors and waited long enough. I wish Verizon had simultaneous voice and data but I switched anyway. AT&T has taken the iPhone user base for granted and we need to show them it's not exclusive anymore.
If you ordered as soon as the sites went live then you may remember that AT&T's site gave the option of modifying your shipping address.
Actually it is quite intelligent.
It is just a freaken phone. I for once did not upgrade at the first chance of getting a new apple product and real quite liberated. It is so sad when we get this pissed ver something as BS of a freaken phone. I for one have better things to do.
$60,000 credit limit on one card? Holy ****As to those trying to deflect any blame of this on me. My credit card has a zero balance and a $60,000 credit limit. My AT&T account is on auto pay and I was out of contract. I checked my upgradability through both apple's, and AT&T's sites.
What an unintelligent thing to say.
I specifically ordered online to avoid the hoards of anxious, unwashed, launch day people. Some people relish the shared retail experience. I hate it.
God I wish Verizon could do data and voice simultaneously. I thought this was the year I could escape ATT, and their underdelivering, customer last ways.
Is it that hard to just put the preorders in chronological order?
May I ask when, where and how long you need to talk on the phone while also surfing the web?
