:mad: I received an email from Apple stating the phone I ordered has a defective SIMM card... They're shipping a SIMM that is expected to be delivered June 24-26th. Is anyone else having this problem? What good is the phone going to do me tomorrow without a SIMM card!!!! Details from Apple below...

Ships: Delivers by June 19th

If you are an existing ATT customer with an iPhone plan, just take the SIM out of that and put it in the new phone. You shouldn't have any problems.
 
Well I just got off the phone with apple and they said that my phone will be delivered to my home tomorrow, despite what the email from concierge said. Interesting. Still haven't gotten a shipped email or order status from the website, but it is probably coming.
 
Why overnight orders put in a week ago?

More expensive. Lower the prices some and use 2-3 day shipping instead.

No clue. Although I doubt most people are complaining about the price of their free shipping...

I did choose overnight shipping when I bought it, although all that affects is that I may get it in the morning instead of the afternoon on Friday.
 
I ordered on right after the keynote on the 8th and still have a status of "prepared for shipment."

Mine also says ships on the 19th, delivers on June 22nd. I received an email from Apple on day after I ordered saying disregard the dates shown and that it will deliver on the 19th.

Really starting to wonder if that will be the case.

Anyone else showing a prepared for shipment with delivery on the 22nd?
 
Ordered from Apple Online Store on the 9th, 32 GB Black, changed to "Prepared for Shipment" on the 16th and been like that ever since. I'm still not worried, although if it ships out tomorrow from Shenzhen rather than from within the US somewhere then I may lose a bit of hope.
 
did anyone else get an email like I did about going to the Apple store, even though they went with the delivery method?
 
Just received my shipping confirmation. Delivers by 6/19. Ordered on 6/8, so it looks like those early orders are finally getting shipped. I am confident that the other 6/8 orders will get shipped today as well.

I believe his issue is not getting a good SIM card but rather the phone delivery was delayed because of the SIM card.

I think you can just walk up to an AT&T store and get a replacement, they can then activate that SIM to your line of service

Yup, I just got my shipping confirmation. I am holding out hope that I will have my new Iphone tomorrow. Still no tracking information on FedEx, but if it was just processed and will be shipped today, then its probably sitting on the dock waiting for a pickup.

I guess we will see how it goes.
 
Ordered on 6/16 and got an email notice today that it shipped. The only problem I have now is the email notice says delivery by June 22nd. And the Fedex tracking # is not live yet so i'm on pins & needles again thinking I may not get mine tomorrow. Anyone else in this boat?
 
So I called as my order is still preparing for shipment. CSR couldn't give me tracking info or delivery method. She could only tell me that Apple will be delivering every phone June 19th. I guess that was her script as she would release no other detail :rolleyes:

Not me. Fedex and an Apple e-mail both say a June 19th delivery for me. Hopefully yours is just an error for and you'll get it tomorrow.

Same deal here. I ordered on the 16th as well. Delivery says "by June 22nd". I am not holding my breath.

UPDATE: Standard Overnight Shipping is what it says on FedEx's site. I should get it tomorrow. Good times! :D
 
I noticed when I checke last night that it was still prepared for shipping, but fee for the 2 day shipping that I had ordered had been removed/waived.
 
Mine just switched with a tracking number, overnight shipping. I did pay for that so maybe thats why I was waiting, nervously for so long despite ordering on the 8th while everyone else was getting their tracking numbers from China?

Mine is still "prepared for shipment", but still has 19th delivery date...my hopes are dwindling :( I wanted to come home from a concert tomorrow night and play with it until 2am

Just got my FedEX overnight tracking number as well. I'm from MN too but did not select overnight shipping. Appears to be shipping from TN.
