I went through this Sat. I noticed the authorization for the correct amount was there and my bank reserved the money from my available funds. It is a debit/credit card. So the money showed up back in my account as available. I've been checking every day and the money is still there.

ATT store staff told me Sat. that I would be charged again when it shipped. Well it shipped but the money has not be taken from my account or taken out of my available balance.

I wish they didn't handle the original transaction this way. I read somewhere that Apple sometimes just charges a dollar to see if the credit card is viable, and then reverts it until it ships. Why they charge the whole amount and then had to have it revert is beyond my understanding.

So, I too hope that the reversion of money back into my account does not foul things up. The ATT staff seemed confident it would not. Let us hope they know what they are talking about.

I'm the same way as you two (you and the one you quoted). I had the hold on my account, but only for 2 days at max, then it dropped and has yet to be put back on. My order status says shipped and my tracking number now works on the UPS website, so we'll see. I'm guessing it'll probably go back up tomorrow... but I'd love a free phone! :rolleyes:

You know you're not getting it, right? UPS holds shipments for Apple until launch day. You are not getting your iPhone before the 19th.

Sorry but that is rubbish. I think most people that have an Arrival Time in AK this afternoon will get their phones 6/18 AM. I think its highly unlikely people will see phones tomorrow but hey who knows. No way Apple would delay it to hit Friday it'd be a logistical nightmare with people pissed if any hiccups occur and people have to wait till Monday for their stuff.
 
Did anyone else lose their estimated delivery time? When I now click on the tracking link that used to take me to a page that gave an estimated delivery of 6/17/09, it doesn't have any estimated delivery time at all. Maybe my package is now being held until the 19th? :(
 
Ordered from apple last Monday, and UPS tracking shows it in Alaska:D

Your not the only one. Pages of this thread are filled with comments about this. Probably Apple's hold on the product.

That was not an estimated delivery date, it was a scheduled date of June 17. We will know once UPS 063 arrives in KY at 1:20 AM EDT and we see arrival scans.:cool:

its most likely still being processed. it takes awhile after the plane lands in AK to update the UPS server with the most up-to-date info.

your iPhone is prolly on UPS flight #81 seen here
 
Well, good to know I'm not the only one. Geeze, this thread is being followed so closely it's almost like a chat room! Thanks for the info guys. That map tracking the UPS plane is pretty cool!

Ordered from ATT instore - getting tracking numbers
Ordered from ATT online - getting the shaft.

I ordered online apple site on the 13th at 8am est. no tracking info yet, only shows prepared for shipment. but does show on apple order status that the item is going to be delivered by the 19th. i called apple cust service, and rep said its almost definite we would at least recev it on the 19th if not earlier.

Assuming it was on UPS #63 from HK to AK, I think its safe to assume it stayed on board an continued on to KY. I know more about UPS's logistical process than I ever thought I would.

rubbish...that was good.

Uuuh, Apple is not hand delivering the phones. Logistics? UPS and FedEx do this kinda stuff every day believe it or not. These companies can deliver a package on the other side of the world by next day early A.M. and you think they cannot have a package on someone's doorstep if they received the shipments 4 days prior. This volume of a shipment is nothing to these companies compared to holidays like Christmas.
 
I just joined this forum to join in the fun here. My tracking number also has gotten to Anchorage, and like many others the delivery date has been removed. Earlier today it said June 17.

I don't know how many times I posted on this same subject. I guess everyone is anxious on the big new iPhone hype.

But as of everyone on here goes, I can't wait any longer, want the phone now.

Quick summary UPS 063 is inbound to the UPS Hub in KY with a wave of iPhone 3G S units fresh from China with UPS Tracking numbers for customers that ordered for home delivery.

The flight arrives in KY at 1:20 AM EDT, keep watching this tread grow...
