Beam me a pallet of iPhones Scotty

A whole pallet of iPhones must have been shipped to AT&T. Mine just appeared in Memphis Tennessee. Delivery tomorrow.

Ordered 64 GB gold, on 9/20 @ 10 AM PT
 
I bought my 64G gold 5s on 9/20 around 9 pm and received in last Friday, 10/11 at 10 am.

It's a thing of beauty! :)
 
Deliveries

I don't know about anywhere else, but here in Las Vegas we have the thieves that follow the delivery trucks watching for iPhones being left at the door.

One time I got email notification that UPS had delivered, I was outside looking for it when the truck showed up. He had delivered my package (iPod) to the previous stop and was bringing their package to me. He did a quick turn around and got mine while they were on the phone to report the wrong delivery.

One has to wonder why UPS still allows this. If they know such thieves are lurking around, it makes no sense to allow for such happenings. What is the recourse (for the recipients) whose shipments were stolen?

The great demand for this iPhone creates a perfect storm for these thieves.

4.5 hours...:(:(:(:(:(:(
 
I have been watching this forum for awhile.

My 4S was stolen 2 weeks before launch, so rather than buying a 5 I decided to wait. I got a dumb phone in the mean time. I ordered the 64GB Gold on 9/20 at 9:15am after waiting in line and then being told they have no gold phones. After ordering I went to a local pawn store and got a used android. I finally have a delivery date of friday. Mine is stuck in Korea even though there was a flight to Anchorage leaving 2 hours after it arrived. I live in NYC so I hope its here on friday. Im so tired of android and waiting!

Well, it was wishful thinking that the bank hold by apple meant anything. Money was credited back to me. Still in "processing" for a 32GB AT&T gold iphone. This is excruciating.
 
Sept 20th orders with October ship date, Apple.com buyers. [MERGED]

Well still no departure scan from Louisville. I don't know what could be going on over there. I know there are no more flights here, but according to them my phone is still "on time." Ya no.

I'm honestly pretty pissed at UPS. I'd prefer if they under promised and over delivered. The shipment of my phone was so tight that they should never have told me today. I'm going to call them this week and tell them I want my money for express shipping back.

Well it looks like they have a full blown problem going on, down there. I still have squat, and the plane landed nearly 5 hrs ago.

Usually it shouldn't take more than three days to get from China to Toronto (even with basic expedited). They really must have known something, this time around.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they exceed my shipping estimate. This cluster**** is really gonna go in my back pocket, and I will have to form a better strategy for the next time I get a phone.:(

Hopefully they will do pre-orders next time.
 
What were you all's initial ship estimates? I just ordered a silver on 10/11, and my est ship date is 10/28...

It's probably just going to **** up your order further (pardon my french). Being in shipping limbo, is even worse. My phone has been sitting in Louisville for the last 6 hours, and they don't even have the courtesy to scan the label. "UPS has great logistics"... my ass.

I have had it with this whole damn mess. I just want my god damn phone right now. :mad: :mad:

Your best bet is to sit at home on the day it's supposed to be delivered. If you have the option to work from home, even better

Last year when I ordered the 5, it took roughly 2.5 weeks to leave the factory. Within 3 days of shipping, it was already at my home.

There have been so many missed flights and holding backs, that UPS look like chumps. These past few days, have been an absolute disaster.:mad:

Luckily my schedule on Friday is pretty loose. I can come home, and eyeball the driveway.
 
Dammit, missed delievery.

Now I have to go to the UPS place an hour drive away to pick it up tonight.
 
At this rate, I think my phone could walk here faster than UPS can deliver it. Whatever incompetence funk Apple is in, has now spread to UPS. :mad: :mad: :mad:
 
Well I ordered my AT&T 64GB Gold iPhone 5s on 9/20 at 7:50AM EST and its still "processing the order". It says available for shipping Oct. 24-28 with delivery for Nov 4.

My brown case has been here for weeks, can I call and complain and hopefully get a free case? I want a black one too..

I would say yes you should.
 
Yep, I'm fuming myself. I might call UPS when i get home to see what they have to say.

This is freaking unbelieveable... where the hell is my phone going now!

Probably straight to hell... with my luck!:mad::mad::mad:

Take a look at your status too... has yours moved as well?
