Hmm my phone has literally sat in ZhengZhou all day yesterday and hasn't moved yet. Disappointing to see people who ordered after me (4:06a EST) having their phones on the way to Louisville.
 
I tried tracking by my phone number as a reference and got something new today. No tracking info showed up, but the screen said "not all tracking information is available at this time."

It normally just tells me that no package could be found under my reference. I figure my phone's shipment has begun :)
 
30+ hours of "preparing for shipment".....thats no movement. Ordered at 4:05AM EST on 9/14

Yea, I've been "preparing for shipment" for 37 hours. I hate this. I ordered at 5am EST from NJ and I see so many people who ordered after me getting their phones. How do they decide who gets it when? It makes NO sense! And now it's Sunday, so I don't expect a shipping update till tomorrow :-( I really wanted to get mine on Friday being it's the only day when I will be home. I'll have to pick it up from the ups or fed ex office that are both two hours away from me.

I hate Apple so much right now.

From reading these forums I believe they start with the highest gb models and work their way down...why? Who knows but that is whats concluded

Same here. Been a full 24 hours now that its been sitting there. I take it you have Expedited and not Express? I have expedited.
 
I also have expedited. Still doesn't make sense why our phones didn't at least make it to Hong Kong in a day. Unless both of ours missed a scan.
 
well...

My iPhone has been sitting for over 24 hours in preparing for shipment. I guess those Chinese folks are all at church. Wait, they don't let them go to church.

Missing launch day is kinda sad this round as I've always found a way until this time. EST 6:00 am Friday order on preorder and happy that there's a jet sitting on the runway waiting for my lil guy.

I have double expedited super shipping service but unfortunately my iPhone is also on double secret probation. ;)

Hope it ships within 48 hours and this week is a good one for many. :cool:

Try just the phone number (no dashes) in the reference area.

Thank you!!!!!!! This was the ticket to finding out my phone has shipped!!!! :D :D :D



Based on the above info what other tracking can I do? I'm on the east coast of the US. When might it come? I'd love to figure out how to do that plane tracking I've been seeing.

Mine has the same exact same tracking info as yours, and my shipment e-mail from apple says the 28th for delivery so I would assume it's the same for you.
 
Wow Apple is retarded LOL...

Ordered two iPhones a 16GB Black and a 32GB Black.

I ordered the 32GB first and then the 16GB about 5 minutes later around 5:30AM..

The 16GB shipped out last night and no word on the 32GB (that was ordered for me)

Haha whatever, at least one has shipped!

Thanks so much. My Apple order status still says "Preparing for shipment" and I have received no emails from Apple nor has the phone appeared on my support page and my card still shows a "temporary authorization". This should give some hope to the others stuck in that limbo :)
 
I don't know how they figure it. But it probably ends up only making a difference of one day. Why some orders got preferential treatment is a mystery to me. Meanwhile, mine too is a 64 gig version and it's still sitting in China..Hasn't moved at all. :(

ZhengZhou, China 09/22/2012 10:55 P.M. Arrival Scan
09/22/2012 10:45 P.M. Departure Scan
09/22/2012 6:26 A.M. Origin Scan
China 09/22/2012 11:18 A.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS

I'm a 64gb with the same info. Still sitting in China. Ordered @6:24am on the 14 th.

Got an email from Verizon confirming my email address this morning so I guess that's progress.
 
At least most have shipped now. Mine left Hong Kong at 4pm HK time.

Delivery type says 2 business days, so i'm expecting tuesday.

At least its not oct 5 anymore and if it was still processing i'd be mad but now, any of us that have at least shipped and aren't getting it Oct 5 should be happy.

Mine was like this for quite some time too. Then I got an email from Apple that my order was placed on hold because there was a pending order on my Verizon Wireless account. I had to call VW and have the pending order removed before Apple could clear my phone for shipping. So if you have any type of pending order on your phone account you might want to call and have it cancelled just in case.
 
Ordered my iphone on the 14th at 4:30 est, this friday it shipped and will arrive to paris on Monday, by the end of the day. Initial delivery estimate was 10/2
