Anyone who ordered in person at an actual AT&T store at this point?

I pre-ordered on June 9. Yesterday I checked my order status and it was still "In Progress" but there was a tracking number which did not work on the UPS website.

Later on Monday afternoon, my status changed to Shipped. The image below is where I'm at now (Tuesday afternoon, 6/16). It states my phone shipped on 6/12. However, the tracking number still does not work on the UPS website. I get the following error:

"UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Please verify your information and try again later."

Since I will be picking my phone up at the AT&T store I'm not really concerned about tracking except that I would like to be sure my phone is there on the morning of June 19th. Even it were delivered to the store early, I doubt they would let me pick it up before the 19th anyway.

We are in the exact same boat. Though, my ship date says 6/13. My tracking number gets the same error - and as you said, I agree - I don't care too much about tracking, just knowing that I will indeed get that phone call Friday saying I can come pick it up. Let's hope!
 
I'm in the NYC area and my status just changed to preparing to ship. Are all iPhones shipping from China or do they have local shipping locations?
 
Yep you ordered the same day I did.. and in-store and I have the exact same thing as you.

Im sure it will be there before June 19th so no worries.


EDIT: Though my only states "Freight" .. It use to state the iPhone + Freight.. but now it just shows "Freight" and the tracking number on that..

I'm in exactly the same situation as you and johnny5.

I just spoke with the CSR that sold me the phone. He told me that my phone would be there on the 19th (he was looking specifically at my account when he said that) and that I could pick it up any time that day.

I hope it turns out the same for you guys.
 
What's funny is half the people in this thread probably know more about where UPS's planes are then they do! :D

Still no tracking number for me either...:mad:
 
Still nothing for me as apple.com saying "Not yet shipped" Since I got the upgrade to overnight shipping for free (which I know most everyone did) I am not too worried about it. I don't think I'll see anything on my iphone until the 17th or 18th. I just have a feeling that my iphone isn't going to come from China overnight and that Apple must already have some iphones in the US. That's why I don't think I'll see anything until later this week.

does anyone know if UPS loads trucks all day long or they have to have it on the truck early by a certain time in the morning?
 
Does anyone know if we are guaranteed a morning delivery since it is world ease "EXPRESS"?
Here is the official quote on World Ease for UPS...

Simplify customs clearance by grouping several shipments destined for one country or the entire European Union into a single shipment. This contractual service is available throughout North America and in select countries in Europe, Central and South America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

Each UPS World Ease shipment:

Clears customs as a single unit, reducing documentation and saving time
Provides guaranteed time-in-transit times Offers detailed tracking visibility for every package in the shipment Enables customs brokerage savings for UPS Standard to Canada shipments​

It matters.

For UPS Ground delivery, they have to load the trucks up by 11 AM I think it is.

And for Air delivery before 10:30 AM, they need to load up by around 7

Shipment to NYC. Delivery date 06/17/2009 so I'm guessing overnight flight. =)
 
Yeah but when you call this number: 1-877-782-8870

It says back ordered ... The other number says otherwise.

Sad

Yeah, I just called another number and it told me backordered. Broke my fragile little heart :( I wanted to have my pretty, new, very first iPhone to arrive on Friday. This is going to be the longest effing weekend ever.
 
i dont want to read the whole thread back again but,

what happened to the people that said their iphones will come today???

lol that doesn't answer anything. As I read it on the UPS website world ease is like an ad on to express.
