Also I just figured out that it 2-3 weeks in business days!!!!! So that mean they don't include weekends. So it's only been 11 days for u. It sux I know. Becuz it's only been like 15 days for me :(

That sounds encouraging. Best to check tomorrow morning as the flight to the UK is usually in the wee hours. Chances are it will show as out for delivery at which point you else ill know for sure.

It's business days only!!!! So he's only on day 11!!! I just counted my days from when I ordered ( 9-18-12 ) and it says it'll deliver 10-11/10-17 the 17th is exactly 21 days

Whether you count business weeks (5 days) or calendar weeks (7 days) it still works out the same number of weeks.


From the looks of things your order was 3 - 4 weeks estimate.

Nope my order says 2-3 weeks. And what I'm trying to say is they only count business days!! There still 7 days in a week. So if u count the business days from 9-18-12 to 10-17-12 that exactly 21 business days or from his order date of the 21st he's ( not including weekends )only on day 11. If that makes sense.!!! So technically he's not even on the 2 week mark. Becuz tomorrow ( Tuesday the 9th ) is exactly 3 weeks for me in regular days, but they don't count it like that.

That is some funny math there billy. But since there are only 5 business days in a week, it kinda falls apart.

Lmao. Ur not understanding but that's ok becuz u know what my order says right?!?!?!? So what ur really trying to say is apple is a bunch of morons and they can't count right???? If u count the days from September the 18th when I ordered my phone to October the 17th is EXACTLY 21 business days witch is what????? 21 days = 3weeks. Not including the weekend right???? Or do I need to go back to school????

Apple DOES not include the weekend days in a week. So from Monday (today) to next Monday the 15th of October is only what???? 5 days!!!!! Not 7 days. And how many days are in a week 7!!! So it wouldn't be considered a week until October the 17th next week from today.

So again lemme break it down for u!!!! I ordered 9-18-12 right??? Right!! So from 9-18-12 to 9-25-12 is 5 days and from 9-25-12 to 10-2-12 is 10 days and from 10-2-12 to 10-9-12 is 15 days and from 10-9-12 to 10-16-12 is 20 days and from 10-16-12 to 10-17-12 is 21 day. Omg that's amazing, that's 3 weeks. Omg who woulda figured!!!!!!!!!!! Not trying to be a dick I'm just trying to make u understand the way apple works its shipping days!!!!! So once again he hasn't even hit the 2 week mark becuz it's only been 11 business days!!! Why u ask??? Becuz there's 14 days in 2 weeks not 11 days.

Hi, I ordered an iPhone 5 on the 14th of September, and it shipped Thursday, but the last location from where it was departed from was Anchorage, AK, USA.

Since then, I haven't got news from it. Did my package went to LOUISVILLE, KY, US? or not. If it did, then why it wasn't scanned.

when you realize that there are only 5 business days in one week you will see what I mean.

Your math is off when you take 21 business days and dividing by 7 to come up with 3 weeks.

All I was saying, was that 21 business days is 4 calendar weeks.

Didn't mean to upset you.
 
So I have read that you can track by reference if Apple has not given you a tracking number. Is it possible for the item to be shipped out and not updated on UPS/FedEx at all?:confused::confused:

Same here. I've checked and checked and checked my order like 1000 times a day and nothing. It still say processing. I've even taken my order number (w...) and put it on ups by reference and still noting.

All these things I read about are saying "Put in your phone number and then it'll show you" but it never works for me. I called Apple and they said that if I don't get my information by tonight then most likely tomorrow.

U didn't up set me btw. I just find it very funny/weird that when I break it down the way I did that the 17th of October is exactly 21 day/ 3week from my order date. My order status from apple says and I quote 2-3weeks for shipping/ delivers october 11-17th. If I go by the way ur saying my phone should have been shipped to me already and I should have it tomorrow at the latest becuz tomorrow 10-9-12 is exactly 3 weeks!!!! I mean maybe apple just hates me and is making me wait lol. I dunno!!!!

Same boat here and I'm not sure why one of the phones stopped tracking in AK and the other in KY when they were ordered within a few minutes of one another :confused: I'm in NJ and the ETA is 10/10.

I ordered on 9/14 around 11:30pm-12 EST by the time both orders were finished.
