Does anyone know the timeframe in which a package needs to be shipped in order to make a Next Day Delivery? I want to know at what point should I be getting nervous.

I'm especially worried cause I called Apple a couple days after ordering to switch the color. I have a feeling that might somehow gum up the works.

I have shipped via FedEx as late as 6:00 pm and had next day delivery no problem.
 
I ordered (ATT Premier) a 16GB Black 3GS on the 12th and finally got a UPS tracking number just barely. Was getting in progress and back-ordered until today.

That will be at your house tomorrow. Not sure where you are, but it will fly to either Louisville or Rockford around 10 pm, then in the wee hours of the morning to your closest airport and out for delivery before 8 am.

My understanding is UPS needs to have the package in their hands by 5PM.
 
finally got my email that my phone was shipped i order on tuesday the 16th in the afternoon. apple was still saying ur phone will be delivered by the 19th. the email i just recieved said the phone will be delievered on the 22nd. i know early that email might have been a mistake, but im curious if people still think it is a mistake or my phone wont get here tomorrow.

thanks

If it was an email from Apple that said the 22nd, that is incorrect. If you ordered before the cutoff date, you will get it tomorrow.

I also ordered from Premier on the 12th and paid extra for overnight shipping, but my status still says "in progress". It did move out of back-ordered status this morning, but still not shipping! I'm gonna strangle AT&T if I paid extra for overnight shipping and don't get my phone until Monday........while you can order today from Apple and either pick it up or have it delivered tomorrow for FREE!
 
How do I check where my phone EXACTLY is. Since early yesterday it has said Anchorage, Alaska. Can it still be there or is it on a flight here?

I'm still surprised its in Kentucky. I would have thought they'd be moving it by now.
 
Seems like the folks that ordered right after the keynote are being shipped from within the states - so they're just now going out for delivery tomorrow. I'm sure you're fine. The fact that yours didn't come from China, and you haven't been able to track it for several days shouldn't make you mad.

That's not correct. I ordered minutes after the keynote ended (12:18 PM EDT, June 8th) and mine shipped out from China on the 17th.

thanks if i had to wait till the 22nd it wouldnt be that bad. cause having to wait through the weekend is nothing compared to having to wait through the work week.
 
They could ship it at 4:00 PM tonight, and you would still get it tomorrow. Everything Apple and ATT have said confirms that we'll get our phones tomorrow if we ordered before the 13th.

Mine is still "In Progress" on AT&T's site.... so I dont have a tracking number yet either, but I'm hopeful it ships soon :D

The day isn't over yet! The cutoff time for FedEx overnight packages is around late afternoon local time. It will get shipped. :D

Good points.. I'll take a deep breath and save my anger for this evening :D

havent u heard... find my iphone
 
FDE?

Phone carrier is AT&T. No tracking number so I dont know if it is being shipped FedEX or UPS.

Saw it from AT&T's online thing. Right as I got the number here for the automated phone thing to check the order :p.
FDE is listed as the carrier on mine (I am assuming its FedEx), but no tracking number. My backup plan is to head to the Apple store tomorrow if AT&T screws this up. I ordered on 6/09 so this would be typical for AT&T at least in my experience.
 
Whohoo. Just got my notification from Apple. Ordered on 6/15/09. Shipping overnight via Fedex to South Florida. Black 32GB iphone. Come to me now. :D:apple:

ordered the same day, 8:40 am ET, maybe I'll get that email now? Mine is still, 'prepared for shipment'
 
just received my tracking number. it's from fedex, hoping it's coming overnight like everyone else's -- no info on fedex's side yet.

wonder what apple used for fedex/ups and international/domestic shipment criteria??

peace, love and :apple:

SHIPPED! Finally! Can't access the FedEx page yet, I just reloaded my Order Status and it changed. REALLY hoping it says Delivers by June 19th. Here's to hoping!

The phone is being shipped to Frankfort. Why is it out for delivery in Lexington (which is ~20 miles away)?

My email from Apple was actually sent to my me.com account at 8:29AM. But I have been checking all morning and just now got it at 11:31AM. Wow, there email servers are way behind....

Everyone just take a deep breath. It will come. I am sure of it. :)
