Sometimes they just start loading up a truck not being used the current day with the next day deliveries.
Not true.

FedEx has so much business and is too organized to do this. I get about 30 to 40 packages a day every day at my business. There has only been one error in the 9 years we've used FedEx, they are so much better than the rest.

If it says on the truck for delivery it will be delivered today. It's that simple.
 
Apple products made in China, go to Alaska where they are processed through customs. Last month my new MacBook Pro got stuck in customs for 9 days. It was on a pallet full of Macs that did not have the proper paperwork attached. So it waited for Apple to supply the corrections. Then from Alaska it is flown to Oakland, then to SoCal. It takes just one day (overnight) once it's in Oakland.

Fortunately my iPhone is in Oakland now and will be delivered to me tomorrow.

Nooooo!! How dare you even speak of such delays! haha

Let's all hope there isn't a pallet of iPhones waiting for proper paperwork.
 
This is exactly what's happening.

if it's coming from china it's SUPPOSED to be delivered the day it comes in reguardless what the online estimated del says. Now if it's domestic pacakge then the label shows the delivery due date and depending on the courier it's up to them to take out

due date isn't shown on labels that are international packages!

Exactly. It makes no sense to load up a truck to just have it sit and wait. I can't wait!
 
well when you post a video or pics i will believe you, but im not buying it

All right think what you want. It's not like the few of us collaborated on this we are from different areas and don't know each other. Why would we all make up the same lie?
 
I got the emails saying I will get them on the 23rd. The first order is in Oakland still. It didn't leave?

Second order is in Alaska still.

Obviously it will come, but I'm in Spokane, I'd think mine would make it to Seattle.
 
Question,

Did you guys order from Apple or AT&T?
I ordered from AT&T in one of their stores.
My status shows it was shipped and I have a FedEx tracking number but when I track it, the number show nothing in detail.

I'm wondering if these detailed updates are for people buying from Apple.com.
Apple and AT&T deliveries are all on FedEx, with the exception of a few being on UPS, due to the massive number of phones being delivered over this three day period.

The only difference is Apple issues more frequent updates to the customer, whereas AT&T only gives you a tracking number to follow. I ordered mine online from AT&T, my friend ordered his from the Store, we are both showing tomorrow as our delivery date from FedEx, and the phones are already at the FedEx Depot (airport) in our state. That means we will have them tomorrow just like it says in the tracking info.

A day early at that!

why do people lie about everything.. after MAC RUMORS.. for attention I suppose. I have run into a ton of liars here.. just cant trust anyone with "news here"

Oakland is the West Coast FedEx processing hub. Packages from Apple usually take a day to be processed due to volume. Then delivered the next day anywhere in CA.

I would be concerned with the order in Alaska, as that is the customs stop where packages can be delayed.

Well I hope one of us on here with this status gets the phone and posts pics so that your trust can be at least semi-restored. :)
 
my phone is still in NJ (yuck) (since 2:38 AM this morning) i live on Long Island so thats a bit of a ways away, i expect it will get on LI by tonight, in my hands tomorrow. I just checked my status and it said "Package received after FedEx cutoff" when it first recieved it in SHENZEN. I ordered at 4:30 pm on the 15th so i assume if you ordered late your on the back of the line? so i get mine on the 23rd and if u got in early maybe you get lucky on the 22nd. Also the OP lives in Washington. i'm in NY so i get an extra long flight making my phone travel more so the closer you are to the west coast the more likely you are to get you iPhone 4 today
 
Mine's in Fort Worth. For all of you who won't be there for delivery -- at least there'll have been one attempt and then maybe you can pick it up at the FedEx office!
 
My iPhone is in Oakland aiport right now, since 10 PM last night. I live in the Los Angeles area, and there is no flights from Oakland to LA in the next day. I'm guessing they'll be driving it down here :confused:
 
The video might be too much trouble as the capture res is only 320x200... yes its a very OLD camera. I'll probably post some 1280x960 pics though.
 
Mine is also in Ft Worth and I called to confirm it will be shipped to my work address as entered in the pre order and they confirmed by 3est!!

Im in Orlando BTW

Fort Worth, eh? Is yours a Apple or AT&T order?

Weird how yours is in FW and mine's in Memphis and we're both in Florida, 1 hour apart.

Fedex flights are logged a hour or two before departure. They will be flown down here to la today or tonight and be delivered tomorrow
 
anyone receive it yet?

I don't know, but I am frantically hitting refresh on my fedex tracking hoping it'll say delivered lol. I'm out of town until the 24th so I won't get my phone until then anyway, but if it is delivered today I am going to have the person signing for me take pics and send them to me hehe.
