dont want to get my hopes up
I am going on vacation from July 15th to 19th right when delivery is expected awesome. My cousin will be here to sign for it but I was wondering people are talking about it possibly being delivered early. Should I get my hopes up? If it delivers the 14th I would be sooo happy. This will be my first iphone and first apple product besides ipod and I am excited.
It does say prepared to ship.

Uh oh
Ordered two on the 19th around noon. They have both been prepared for shipment for a couple of days now. Just looked, and now one of them has been moved to not yet shipped and the other one still says prepared for shipment. Getting kinda mad now that I ordered from apple on the 19th and still dont even know when they will ship, while i could have ordered from ATT on the 29th and have the phone ship within 7-10 days. Anybody else feel like Apple is giving pre-orders the big middle finger here?

that is my issue with preordering from apple. I ordered on the 19th and people who ordered 10 later than me are getting their phones and I still dont even show both of mine being prepared for shipment (both were showing prepared now one has been switched back to not yet shipped). I will be calling apple to see if they can explain how people who order from a reseller almost 2 weeks after me are getting phones or at the least getting shipping notifications.
If you preordered earlier than those getting prepared now, then I'd contact Apple, AT&T (if US-based), and possibly your credit card company. One of the three may be having issues.
Two months back, I ordered a pair of speakers for my iPhone and an iPad accessory. Somehow, the way Apple sent the charge through, the card company flagged it as possibly fraudulent--there was plenty left on the credit limit and the bill wasn't overdue, it was 100% Apple's fault for sending the same charge more than once (and the charge didn't match either item alone, much less both). Apple didn't notify me in any way; I found out about it a day later when the two "ships next day" items hadn't been sent. I hadn't checked my voicemail the previous night; turns out the card company had called me with the fraud alert. I had to call them and straighten that out, then call Apple because now they wouldn't let that card be used through the site.
Needless to say, I'm watching all three companies involved to see which one botches this particular transaction...

good to know I'm gonna wait till some time tommorow and give apple a call I orded on the 21st and I'm seeing everyone with june 19th orders to people after the 21st.If you preordered earlier than those getting prepared now, then I'd contact Apple, AT&T (if US-based), and possibly your credit card company.

prepared to ship order doesn't matter, it's when it actually ships that matters. i'm willing to bet all of you earlier ones will be prepared to ship before the later ones ship, all of ours will probably leave china together once they fill the plane with i4s..
Anyone thinks our iPhones that are currently at "Prepared for Shipment" will be shipped out tomorrow? (Tuesday at China)
my two phones which shipped on july 3rd have already arrived in my local fedex facility in oakland, ca. tracking shows an estimated delivery date of july 8th, but now i'm wondering if they'll arrive on tuesday! i suppose i can always pick it up from the local facility if they decide to just hold onto them. anyone else seeing this?
Hello everyone I am new to the forum. Mine also says "prepared to ship" now and it wasn't due to ship until the 14th. I live in socal so I'm thinking I may get mine Thursday!!! By the way I ordered mine on the 16th and it's a 16gb.
I've got a UK order still not yet shipped, although just noticed the temporary charge Apple had on my credit card has now been returned. Hoping that a change of status is imminent.
When did you place your order? I ordered mine on June 28th, with an expected ship date of 19th July. The temporary hold on funds in my account was released on Friday, but still no change in status (and I wouldn't expect there to be for another week or so). Living quietly in hope though
