In order for you to have it guaranteed by 10am it would have to be sent with priority overnight delivery, which I'm positive AT&T won't do.
So either you're lying, or you're lying. Which is it?
I am in the exact same situation.. I order time was even the same!
Im hoping for FedEx delivery again.. I got my last iPhone a day early, that and FedEx shows up at 7-8 am in my neighborhood!
I'm sure it will change to shipped soon..
I called UPS this morning, and was told that my iPhone 4S (Shipped by SPRINT) would be delivered on Wednesday, the 12th. I asked if there was a hold on it until the 14th and was told no!Anyone think this may reallyyyy happen???
In the past, there is usually a hold on the part of the delivery service as a request from Apple. With that said, if your order is shipping from Sprint, there might not be that request. Also, in the past, there have been early deliveries, so Wednesday is definitely a possibility!

Yes, I agree with your point. I'm in a large city with all delivery services.
I placed my order when they opened the site for orders. Within 10 minutes I had completed the order, and received the confirmation email.
The next morning AT&T emailed an estimated ship time. Then the following day they sent an email with a confirmed arrival date.
This morning I tracked it and we are right on schedule.
It turns out that the shipping reference is for the 16GB white AT&T even though that it was for the other number. I wonder how that happened.
Anyhow, the reason I know this is I got one shipment confirmation from Apple.com. Still waiting for shipment confirmation on 32GB Black AT&T even though I ordered that one first (5:30am eastern).

I ordered AppleCare with my 64 GB white iPhone 4S but mine is in Preparing for Shipment since yesterday and the AppleCare shows as complete. However I can't find any shipping info on FedEx or UPS and my order was email confirmed at 3:56 AM ET on Friday Oct 7th. Also of note, I've not seen a charge on my credit card for the phone yet, but do for the AppleCare.
I wonder how they are processing these? I used to like to believe it was in order of order placement, but obviously not given people that have theres shipped and ordered after me.
Ordered from apple.com at 5:30am eastern Friday morning. Still no shipping email or info from UPS along with FedEx.
Same :-(
Is anyone on here from FL that ordered as soon as the orders opened.. and got a tracking number.. still nothing.. i get a preparing for shipment from apple and a "not found" on both UPS and FedEx

From Florida, but ordered from Sprint.
Still nothing on my end.
We're just like a bunch of kids shaking the presents under the tree! I want to thank Apple for giving me a piece of my childhood back every time they release a new product.
Note that if you create an account on UPS.com and log in before tracking, you'll get more information back in the Additional Information section. There's generally about six reference numbers attached to the shipment -- one of which being your phone number (the one associated with your purchase, i.e., Apple Store ID if you ordered that way) and another being your order number. If you ordered from the Apple Store one of the reference numbers will likely be the order number w/ the last two digits missing. So, if you happened to order more than one phone (as I did) you can figure out exactly which one it is.
Oddly enough, my wife's white 64GB phone has been shipped (according to tracking by reference on UPS.com) but my black 64GB phone has not. Hers was ordered about 30 mins after mine. Both show as Preparing for Shipment on Apple's site.
EDIT: FWIW, both phones were ordered between 2 and 3pm EST last Friday.

Yes, mine is coming UPS started shipping process on 10/9 China, Cleared Hong Kong 10/10 and should be in Alaska within a few hours...
2 years ago my 3GS didn't ship to me from China like everybody else's was. It shipped from Tennessee via FedEx.
It didn't get a tracking # until 3am the day it was promised for delivery. It was at my house around 10am.
Most everybody on MacRumors was tracking flights from China and watching their phones, while mine was "preparing for shipment" the entire time.

I tried using my order number with the last two digits removed and got a hit on an order going to California, which isn't my order because I live in Virginia.
