Followed the OP instructions and checked UPS.com. UPS showed it was departing China already. Then I signed up for text message alerts and it showed to be in Kentucky. Can't wait!

My phone is on the same flight

Mine too! Now... How do we track it from here on out? :rolleyes:

Haha, I'm trying to figure out the same thing :)
 
Working

For all of you having problems: If you ordered through apple just put your order number in "W123456789" MINUS THE LAST TWO DIGITS. THATS ALL YOU NEED FOR REFERENCE THEN IT WILL COME UP
 
this might be more fun than reading all of the rumors for the past 5 months :)

Flight 59 lands in Anchorage in 28 minutes!
 
You guys have it lucky. The people who ordered from AT&T are not even shipped yet. In fact, nobody seems to know what the hell is going on past the "your order is in progress" part.

For AT&T orders you wont see the China -> AT&T warehouse step. Once AT&T gets the pallets of iPhones from Apple then they'll ship it out of their own warehouse and provide tracking. Either they'll ship on Wed with 2-day shipping or most likely they'll ship it on Thurs by 1-day shipping
 
Well, I guess I will know by this evening if they intend to hold or not, since there's no reason the phone wouldn't make the 4:15 flight if they do not have a hold.

Well, I hate to say it, but I think the hold is in place. The UPS flight from Louisville, KY to Orlando, FL took off over an hour and a half ago, and no update to my UPS tracking page. So, it looks like the phones ordered from apple.com will be stuck in KY for now. Bummer! It's going be a long few days.
 
Random question... I tracked by reference for UPS and it says shipping to Los Angeles CA.... I live in FL.... is there something wrong here?
 
Left KY yet???

Anyone have confirmation that our phone has left KY yet?

If so, where are you located???

I'm in So Cal and my UPS Tracker says it's still in KY. There are 2 flights leaving around 3:30am for LAX and ONT... wonder if it will be on one of those.

If you have confirmation of a departure from KY post it here and let us know where you are.

Thanks!!!
:)

There is a delay in updating status with UPS - so it's possible that it could be on the flight. I'm guessing it will take a full day's cycle for those phones in this first round of shipments, but I could be wrong (and hope I am as my box is sitting in Louisville since 9:28 this am too).

I guess we'll know more tomorrow morning, eh?
 
did you put your zip code in when you tracked? It may pick up the wrong package with no zip code in there.

When i put my zip code it says it cannot be found...

I'm searching by putting in the apple.com order number minus the last 2 numbers.

I'm searching by putting in the apple.com order number minus the last 2 numbers.

If you create an account with ups.com, you can view all of the reference data... Once you do that, you will most likely see that the last two digits of the order number are different than yours and that the cell number doesn't match. IE - You're tracking someone else's order. The reference number minus the last two digits would be good for 100 different orders.

Same thing was happening to me yesterday.
 
Sounds like your order hasn't shipped yet then - have you tried the phone number (no spaces no parenthesis) linked to your Apple ID and your zip code? That was what worked for me.

yeah that doesn't work for me. I orded a 64gb white ATT from apple.com at 500AM EST friday morning
