I'm pretty confident and it has been stated in previous posts, the Preparing for shipment with no tracking information available is a good thing. Ours are sitting in some warehouse ready to get delivered tomorrow (I HOPE ) :)
 
Anyone else's phone on this plane? I was able to get the trick to work on UPS.com early this morning, but Apple still shows "Preparing for Shipment".

Mine. However, mine shows as shipped. Do you have an old page in your cache or something?
 
mine has been sitting in SDF all day.... Next flight to my town isn't till 5am in the morning. Hoping for maybe a day early, prolly not... but one can dream right lol.
 
I'm on that plane...landed in AK at 2:18pm...where to next??? No way it'll go to Canada...

The flight continues on to Ontario, CA but that doesn't necessarily mean our phones do also. It's either Ontario or Louisville.

Can anyone who was on flight 59 yesterday clue us in here?
 
I have tried to check my order on the UPS website using both my phone number and order number (minus the last two digits) as the reference number... It cannot find anything.

I see several people can track their phones, and a lot of people have their phones already shipped to the US. On apple's website, it says "preparing for shipment" est delivery date Oct 14.

Not worried one bit. I'm pretty confident my order will either be canceled (like many others were) or that I will receive the phone on Friday. I just kind of wish I could track the phone just so I know FOR SURE my order won't be canceled.

Ahhhhhh....gotcha. I'm thinking Ontario, Canada...haha. I am located in Sacramento, so I'll be interested to see if it goes to Louisville or Ontario.
 
Mine has been sitting in KY since 9:28 this morning. There are zero flights showing up scheduled to depart KY for NC. So much for being the "cool guy" with the unreleased phone.

I'm in Denver so it's not much of a difference either way for me. I'm pretty sure mine will eventually go thru Salt Lake though as most of my UPS orders do that.

Looks like these are our flight options:

UPS59 B744 Ontario Intl (KONT) Tue 05:00PM AKDT Tue 10:52PM PDT
UPS63 B744 Louisville Intl (KSDF) Tue 03:05PM AKDT Wed 01:07AM EDT
UPS65 B744 Louisville Intl (KSDF) Tue 03:08PM AKDT Wed 01:10AM EDT
UPS71 MD11 Ontario Intl (KONT) Tue 03:40PM AKDT Tue 09:31PM PDT
UPS81 B744 Louisville Intl (KSDF) Tue 03:09PM AKDT Wed 01:11AM EDT

If they bust a$$ we could be on one of the 3 Louisville flights

According to UPS, my iPhone hasn't moved in 20 hours :(. According to the internet, the local time in China is 7am Wednesday and it left China 11:40 pm Tuesday.

Shenzhen, China 10/11/2011 11:40 P.M. Departure Scan
10/11/2011 8:01 P.M. Origin Scan
China 10/11/2011 9:15 A.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS
 
I am like so freaking out here!! My iPhone was ordered from Apple and shows preparing for shipping for delivery Oct 14th but nothing on UPS works!!!
 
On to Louisville

Mine was on the UPS Flight 59 that recently landed in Anchorage. Using Yahoo Small Business for tracking, it said that it was en route to Louisville. Now that it has landed in Anchorage, it does not presently say where it is en route to. Having used Yahoo for tracking before, I'm quite confident that mine is going to Louisville next. YMMV.

You're really freaking out?

You really think you're not going to get your phone?

Think ahead one week from today, it will be Tuesday evening, your iPhone 4s will be in your hand and it will already be several days old by that point in time.

Soon enough you'll be thinking of the iPhone 5.

Relax.

Sounds reasonable. What's its final destination? (Maybe Anchorage is a splitting point for east/west coast)

Nevermind. Just saw dborja's post (thanks btw).

Eh, I'm pretty close to half way between the two options anyways.
 
thats less than 8 hours 1140PM to 7AM

mine also left at 11:40pm

Your math is way off.
 
It's 3:15pm in Anchorage so if we were on one of the Louisville flights, it would have departed...unless it's late.
 
Finally had some luck for people who are via Apple.
First, Find your Order Number:

Remove the last two numbers from this, and search with it in the references at UPS. via http://www.ups.com/WebTracking/track?loc=en_US

Hopefully you'll find it! All of my information on UPS is from today so I don't know how reliable it is since I got a text saying it's in Kentuky and UPS website says China. The final destination is California.

my Apple ordered shows prepared for ship, but used this and its shipped!! How do we check AT&T to see if it shipped?
