I pre-ordered late, so I am getting mine in 3 weeks. And one for the wife from ATT in 4 weeks. Sad for me.
 
I pre-ordered as soon as I could through Apple's website, but it still shows that my order is 'preparing for shipment.' Anyone else's order still being prepared?

H-E-R-E!!! But my status is "Processing Items" only :eek:
Not even "preparing for shipment" :confused:
 
What are Sprint customers seeing on Sprint's website or UPS? For me Sprint's website is saying that it should be delivered Friday or Saturday and on UPS it's showing that a label has been created and it's being delivered UPS 2nd day air but there's no details of it leaving the warehouse etc.

Mine too. Yet it still states "Delivers October 14th". I doubt I'll get it by friday.

Oh well, due to an error it's not going to the correct address, anyway. Hopefully it's not one of those situations where the site wasn't updated, yet it shipped out anyway. I won't even know WHEN it arrives at the wong place to attempt to intecept.
 
Has anyone that ordered through Verizonwireless.com get any emails besides there order confirmation. I ordered mine at 3:18am EDT and still no shipment confirmation, just the order status says shipped by 10/14/2011 . :mad:
 
What's weird is that the UPS tracking site advises the delivery is running 'on time' for delivery by close of business on Friday.. I cant' believe they're letting them stagnate in Louisville.. What for? Wouldn't it make sense to ship them out and get them out of the way?
 
Ordered mine at 4:30 am PST (Friday), but Apple says "preparing for shipment." UPS says it just arrived in Hong Kong. Yet my girlfriend ordered hers several hours later than I did, and hers is in Louisville. Weird.
 
Ordered mine through Verizon last Friday -- went to the store to place the order. Sadly, have only received confirmation that my order was placed and my card has been debited... Just called Verizon and spoke to someone who said that if I ordered the phones last Friday, they will arrive in 2 days. While the status still says it's only being processed, I was told they sometimes ship overnight or 2-day to ensure delivery on the promised date, so I'm holding out hope that I'll have a shiny new iPhone by the end of this week.
 
Found out this morning that either Apple or UPS input the wrong state for my address. One misplaced keystroke will keep me form getting my phone on Friday. :(

They probably hired Thomas Callahan from the brake pad division. He is unfamiliar with those two letter codes

They won't want to ship empty trucks/planes/trains etc unless they have to I guess.

I received this,

-
Congratulations. Your iPhone 4S is on the way. The moment you've been waiting for is almost here.

It came included with a UPS Tracking Number as well with Next Day Air Saver :]

Mine has been stuck in Kentucky since yestureday 9am..... Although I had ups deliver stuff that was stuck somewhere else by the tracking #...
AT&T via apple.com ip4-->ip4s
 
The information provided in my premier email has not been updated since the 7th. I do however get a tracking number that does not seem to exist in UPS's system that shows my phone shipped out on the 11th. So if you ordered via premier, just log into your AT&T account and check your Recent Orders. You'll see it listed there in a more up-to-date fashion.
 
I have been checking FlightAware.com constantly. They just updated and now there are 4 UPS flights from Louisville to Oakland today. 2 of them have landed already and the other 2 land at 4:27pm PDT and 5:13pm PDT.

This info should give hope to all customers on the west coast since Oakland is the west coast regional hub.
 
For those that ordered from AT&T and haven't had any shipping movement yet, don't worry. They are already stateside and will ship from Louisville tomorrow evening/night to your local hub, and then be on the truck for delivery Friday morning.

This is how it always works when I've ordered from AT&T.

This is true.

last year I ordered an iphone 4 from AT&T premier and one from Apple.

The ATT one arrived with the apple one. I never got tracking info and my order status never changed....until 2 days after I recieved the phone when I got a shipment confirmation.

For a moment, I thought they sent me another one. Nope, just slow updating on ATT's behalf.

Not concerned at all, since this is exactly how it worked last go round.
 
i whited out the tracking number but I have it!

So even though the status on Apple's website is incorrect, they still sent you an email with a tracking number?! I'm also "preparing for shipment", but received no other acknowledgement.
 
I have multiple ATT Premier tracking emails for the bunch I ordered including 16, 32 and a 64. However 1 batch of 16gb have been shipped in white
 
Why am i never one of these folks. Mine hasn't even been prepped for shipment!
