Well, the good news is that the tracking UPS "trick" worked and it indicates it will be delivered by Friday. The bad news is that it's shipping through UPS. I loathe UPS, boo. If I happed to miss delivery I'm screwed until next week as the main office is 25 miles away and I won't get there before they close. If I missed FedEX, the office is just a mile away.

And I don't believe you can instruct UPS to deliver with a pre-sign, is this still correct?

You can pre-sign; check Apple's site under your order status. Just leave that on your door and they should deliver whenever they come.
 
Done. Now, I need to find out which seat my iPhone is in and who it's sitting next to (I'd like them to get to know each other: maybe their seat buddies could have a reunion next year). I hope that mine takes pictures of its journey. :D

LOL...Siri has already started introductions and putting the reunion on your calendar.
 
Progress!!!! ATT site has upgraded status!!

Just checked for the hundredth time and Viloa, an update!

It says that it shipped yesterday the 11th via UPS but NO tracking number as of yet. I think the site it very slow to do any types of updates. I am going to try the reference tracking tip-BRB

Has anyone had their phone leave Louisville yet?

Mine has been sitting there since 9:28am yesterday (the 11th), so delivery on the 14th appears to be all but assured. Could it still come a day early? Sure, and I'd be happy about it -- but given some of the other frustrating accounts here, I consider myself fortunate, regardless...
 
Same. I've seen 3 UPS flights to Kentucky depart since its been there, but no change :(
The next one should've departed 4 minutes ago, but hasn't yet according to FlightAware (http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS85/history/20111012/0832Z/PANC/KSDF). Plus I'd imagine I'd have a departure scan showing if it were already on that plane.

My suspicion was correct. They did forget to scan it.

So which plane is mine on? Shipping UPS

Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong 10/12/2011 10:00 P.M. Arrival Scan
Shenzhen, China 10/12/2011 4:50 P.M. Departure Scan
10/12/2011 9:34 A.M. Origin Scan
China 10/12/2011 12:41 A.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS

Looks like its been in Hong Kong 45 mins..

Looks like we are on the same one! Maybe flight UPS47 got delayed so our phones could be on the plane too! :)

Mine left Shenzhen and reached HK at the same time. Hehe.
Here's hoping for a proper friday arrival.
 
For those of you whose iphone left chek lap kok at 4:20... your iphone is on flight UPS61 or UPS63.. get to stalking lol..
 
About 1,000 miles from me! I feel sorry for those even further out west. I wonder if those are the ones that arrived in the US yesterday.

I'm about as far from Kentucky as you can get and still be in the lower 48 (Seattle). My phone has been sitting there since Monday morning...It got there early raising my hopes (slightly) that I'd get it early but it's not looking that way. Oh well, Friday will come eventually. :)
 
I'm pretty sure that is the case for me as there are zero upcoming flights to NC.

That's generally how my apple products come.

You may, or may not be interested to know that a UPS flight landed at RDU from KY at 5:11 this morning. My tracking info has yet to update since 9:28am yesterday, but at least one US customer received his order today so I'm still keeping my fingers crossed.
 
When will they leave KY????

My Iphone left KY at 3:54pm EDT and landed in Oakland at 4:54pm PDT.
*please note that those are local times to each UPS hub to avoid confusion


Seems you are the only one that I see that has a confirmation of shipment out of KY.

Mines been in Ky for over 24 hours now... several flights to Cali have come and gone... how'd you get so lucky?!?!

Let us know if you get it delivered early!
 
As I predicted days ago... We're going to need to wait for ALL the launch day preorders to arrive in Louisville before ANY of them get distributed to regional hubs. That's logistics. :rolleyes:

This would be the very first one. Screenshot?
 
My iphone 4S finally Shipped!!!

I didn't get a notification. But when I checked my status with At&t it said that it was shipped. But the tracking number is not found as on right now with Fedex.com. I may just get my phone on the 14th after all. I was really getting worried since I place my order online with At&t using a debit card after I was told I couldn't use a debit card by At&t and Verizon while talking to them both for 5 hours on the phone.

I placed my order at 5:45pm EST on the 7th of Oct and still might get my phone this Friday.
 
Louisville, KY, United States 10/11/2011 9:28 A.M. Arrival Scan

Mine is still at Louisville too, haven't seen any updates since yesterday. I'm in SoCal.

But I remember from some other shipment (something else that was shipped via UPS) that UPS didn't update the status for a few days when that it was on ground transportation.
 
Just had a departure scan for one of my orders out of Hong Kong at 12:49 am 10/13 local time. Any idea what flight it's on?
