Preparing

Hey guys, mine status just turned to be "Preparing for shipping" this afternoon. I hope I could get my phone in this week.:):):) I am wondering How you guys track your ups package? is it by using the reference #?? and for the reference number, you just put in your phone #? is that correct???

Thanks!
 
Mine just turned to "Pending Shipment" this afternoon. Also my bank was just charged at around the same time.

fingers crossed for a smooth delivery:cool::D:apple:
 
I woke up to a shipped email from Apple and can now track via UPS. Delivery currently set for Wednesday for me!

yep, use your phone number for the reference number and plug in your country and zip code.

I still have preparing for shipment, but nothing on ups yet.
I really hope we see our phones by Friday. Im off this friday and that would be perfect

Just woke up and found this!!!!

Ups said I could get it this Wednesday, However, I checked apple.com and it said by this Friday. Weird....:confused::confused::confused:
 
originally had a 10/7 date which got bumped up to 10/3 and as of right now its still 10/3 with no additional information :(
 
How long does it normally take to get from Preparing for Shipment to Shipped? Mine went to Preparing... yesterday at 8pm PDT.
 
Still no ups information for me , still preparing for shipment

----------



Did yours go from preparing to ship to shipped?

Yup, mines went to preparing to ship yesterday afternoon. And when I woke up this morning, I found it turns to Shipped.

Good luck all.

For me, it changed to "Preparing for Shipment" on Friday. I figured it would have shipped by now, but nothing. I'm still waiting, and while I've been charged, it still says pending on my bank account. Glad to see others are moving, though.

I've been a UPS Choice member for a while, and there is nothing there either.

FYI - ATT SG Plus 128

Mine finally shipped and got a tracking number. Apple says delivery on the 29th of Sept, but ups tracking says sept 25. I really hope apple is wrong :)
 
Weird

Ok, So here is how my iPhone goes. It is pretty weird and I hope I can get it tomorrow cause UPS said so. However, apple said this Friday.:confused:

After sitting in Processing for almost a week, it looks like I am screwed. Here's the email I got.

I called ATT and there's no past due balance and the phone is upgrade eligible. No problems on their end. Apple offered to place a new order but now the delivery date is the end of October and I'm at the end of the line. This is ridiculous. :(

Wow weird things happen. I would just try to get it from a retail store now since it's likely it may happen again on the new order.

I would love to know what UPS is thinking with your tracking. Unless they have magically sped things up over the past few days, you should expect the ever changing delivery date. My phone started it's process back on the 19th and it's scheduled to be delivered on the 25th. It has sat in Louisville all day today so I have no expectation that it will be before the 25th. Good luck!!

Lol, thanks for sharing. I just checked my tracking, and found this:

I am surprised because I did not expect UPS will transfer their goods at AK....And I hope I could get my phone tomorrow.
 
See this is what I don't get. A lot of peoples phones have been shipped out before mine and they are showing the 25th and 26th however mine is showing through UPS the 24th (but apple said the 26th). I dunno if I should get my hopes up for tomorrow or not?

Same here, But I do think you should get ur hopes.
 
Ups has my delivery set for 25 but Apple has it for the 29th .
Seems unlikely I would get it tomorrow, but I'm really hoping by Friday ... That way I don't have to wish the weekend away
Last update is departing Zheng Zhou at 4pm 9/24.
