Just asking a quick question, kinda unrelated, but doesn't deserve it's own topic. When you all order through Apple for AT&T, did AT&T register that you had used your upgrade?

Yuup. See below for me after I ordered from Apple this morning and then checked on the Att site.

You are not eligible at this time for an upgrade at a discounted price. However, you can take advantage of our no commitment pricing. Additional discounts may be available on 5/07/2013.

Got up at 3am east. Both Apple and AT&T sites were jammed so I went to bed, got up around 7 and ordered through the Apple Store app on my 3Gs and got my email confirmation around 4 hours ago. Ships by the 14th.
 
14-21 Days

I tried to order via AT&T upgrader and it couldn't find my account. So instead I went into my local store and made my order. They told me it would be shipped directly to my house but it would now be 14-21 days. :eek: Not sure if this out of caution due to high demand or is it truely at 2 to 3 weeks. Anyone else seeing the extended downtime...if so where did you order.

OAN...I feel robbed. Nevada charges tax on the full value...not the purchase price. Therefore I paid $60 extra just for tax. I'm interested to know if any Nevada folks that ordered online paid the same extra tax? I'm almost cheap enough to cancel my order and re-order on line just to save $60!
 
Once your order is dispatched then it's best to use the website of whoever is delivering it. In the UK it's UPS, I've always used their website because Apples site wasn't updating much. Could have changed now though!

Can't waiit!

For what it's worth, I love the site boxoh.com. It works for any carrier (at least in the US...it might work elsewhere but I don't know for sure) as long as you have a tracking number. They also seem to update more frequently than some carrier sites I've used in the past.

Huh. I'm in Nevada, ordered online, and paid $13 or so in tax for a 16GB (through Apple) - but maybe my tax amount isn't correct/verified yet?

Yea...Tax in vegas is 8.1%...The math on my $299 32GB says I should have paid $24 in tax. However, I paid $60 which is the math on the full $750 price. Again, I feel robbed. :mad:
 
Oh God, not another order status thread. Don't people have better things to talk about?
 
After going through two previous status updates, Sprint is now telling me this for all 5 of the 4S's I ordered. :D

Thanks for pre-ordering. A shiny new iPhone is waiting for you in our warehouse. Excluding extreme circumstances, you will have your device Friday, Oct. 14 or Saturday, Oct. 15. During the pre-order period, we will send you a shipping email and tracking number. Your tracking number may not be updated until Oct. 14. Questions? Visit sprint.com/preorder.
 
Mine's still processing. I think they'll prob ship em out mid-next week. Last year they shipped em out early and people got them as early as 2 days before the launch date.
 
mine says "in progress" as status but says "qty back-ordered - 1" I pre ordered mine within the first 15 minutes at&t would let me, is mine backordered as in, I'm somehow behind everyone else in line and have to wait weeks to get it or am I getting mad for no reason?

I am under the impression they are saying back ordered because technically they are. I bet they will ship out with the rest and arrive on the 14th

It's backordered as in, they aren't currently being sold yet, so their inventory system probably has a big fat zero under the QTY field for your iPhone model, which makes the status checker say its back ordered, so when someone flips the switch on monday you should be good.
 
phew, I was about to be pissed if I stayed up and pre ordered so fast just to be knocked to the back of the line due to some error on the site or something.
 
I ordered via AT&T's website, got an order confirmation with one order number....but when I log in to the view orders the order number is now a different number......weird.

However the attached screen shot indicates my order is "processing" but keeps no delivery date and also states QTY 1 Backordered?

Anyone else seeing this on the AT&T website?

I ordered from AT&T and mine is now

Your order contains items that are not yet available for shipping. When the pre-ordered items are available, we'll process and then ship all items in your order at the same time.
:mad:
 
We received your order and it is in process.
Expected Ship Date: 10/21/2011

:( I hope this isn't true.
