NO THAT AIN'T RIGHT!


My phone still has CH as it's last scan. What happened to Alaska!!!

It still shows a delivery date of 6/17.

Now I'm worried!

Don't worry!

There are multiple crates on EACH PLANE that have to be cleared through customs, and each takes a few minutes to a few hours to clear and inspect.

There are like 4 flights from PANC (alaska) to Louisville, so don't worry! It will update! (boxoh.com is faster and more accurate than UPS)

Yes, let's all use flightaware to track flights which a phone may or may not be onboard when more than half of the distance is probably outside of the coverage area anyway. Brilliant.

How do we know that the flightaware info is accurate? I'm going to call the FAA to talk to a real person and make sure the plane I think my iphone is on is on schedule.
 
Awww yeah...

Just checked my UPS status:
ANCHORAGE,
AK, US 06/16/2009 1:48 P.M. ARRIVAL SCAN

iPhone is on US ground!
 
interesting, looks like a FedEx plain left Alaska around same time as the UPS63, maybe Apple snuck some phones onto FedEx plane??? :cool:

Haha! No just coincidence. FedEx planes through Anchorage go to Memphis, and if Apple IS holding the phones, then they probably wouldn't be able to handle it.

I have never heard of cross-shipping excpet in emergencies or if the shipper chooses to ship different pallets with different companies...
 
Dude...relax. My phone status is still on "Prepared for Shipment". At least yours left the warehouse.

Don't worry!

Apple can sometimes take a LONG time to update their store. They did that with the first iPod Touch, it updated about a day after it shipped, and was behind a long time. Its just load, and the complexity of the shipments :)
 
Cancelled my ATT premiere upgrade order

I am new to iPhone but a current customer with ATT premiere. I am eligible for an upgrade and I made my order at the ATT premere site on June 11th. Since my order status said backordered, I wanted to talk to ATT to see what is going on.

I talked with 4 ATT reps and all of them told the exact same thing:

"If your order is not back-ordered, we will ship the order on 19th and you should receive it on 22nd or 23rd as FedEx does not do weekends."

I asked them why some people who made the order already at Apple.com received their notifications, I got a similar answer from all 4 of them - "We are AT&T and they are Apple, Sir."

Frustrated, I did the only thing that was possible - cancelled the order. I heard somewhere that it takes 2 days for AT&T to update their system, which means this cancellation should have been updated in all their systems on Friday - when I go into an Apple store to buy the iPhone in person.

See you guys on Friday :)

boxoh.com says that my package is still in China. :/
 
Is fedex shipping to ATT and UPS To people houses from apple.com?

Fedex doesnt ship on weekends but does UPS on saturday at least?
 
UGH I wish I had my tracking number already.
Anyone have theirs that pre-ordered online with ATT on the 8th or 9th?

Also I was wondering what the "Freight" meant in my order summary.

I wish I could help, but aside from the order number and phone size my page looks exactly the same as yours. :(
 
Ordered from Apple Online, Sun. the 14th at about 8pm.
Received order confirmation today, the 15th.
No word on shipment or status changes like other users.
(ie Standard Shipping -> Priority Shipping, etc)
Is there any reassurance out there for a 19th deliver?
My ships line says, "Ships: Deliver by June 19th"
I hope so!!!!!!!! First iPhone ever mind you, a little excited.

Any luck with the shipping info? I received confirmation on the 15th as well.:apple:
 
boxoh.com says that my package is still in China. :/

Well, it is faster than UPS but does derive from UPS info... because the UPS site doesn't show EACH andEVERY point. But like I said, there are MULTIPLE, MULTIPLE pallets that can fit on that aircraft ( THEY ARE 747s - THEY HOLD A LOT OF CARGO!!!!)

So don't worry. once it clears in AK, it will show :)
 
So... the plane is on it's way to KY, but my tracking number never got a "Departure Scan". It still shows "Arrival Scan" in Alaska. Can any of you UPS gurus explain?
