You bastards.
I'm approaching week 4. Where is my damn 64gb space gray? Really. Where is it? Apple says "still processing". I'm in the USA if it matters. I'm just... angry. It's not like I ordered a gold one. Space freaking gray. Really common, right?
See sig
well, to beginn with they are two different phones. the UK/EU versions have different cell antennas built in to support different signals.
im guessing the AT&T portion of apples orders is just very constrained. haven't seen a US customer reporting his order as shipped in a while.. what is your estimated delivery date?
be sure to post the manufacturing week of your phone once you get shipping info. the one that is on its way to austria right now was built in week 43...

I ordered a 32GB Space Gray. Hope they ship it by tomorrow

How do you check that again?
ok. When is, for example, week 43? The crazy dates Apple gave me were 11/14- 11/21. When I ordered, everybody was getting theirs in just a couple days. WAAAAAAY before the Apple dates.
I was impatient like you, Justin. Ordered on Oct 9th at aT&T store and tracking says UPS will deliver tomorrow...one month and 2 days. Hopefully they are correct and don't disappoint me...else I am liable to say some old fashioned bad words.
It seemed to take forever for it to change from Preparing to Ship to Shipping, but once it did, things went like the wind. Got my email saying it had shipped late that same night. Then the next day the money came out of my account and AT&T had my tracking # in my update page. Now it is 2 hours away from me...and I want to drive over there and just take it home with me!!!!!!
I'm still praying you will get your notice SOON!!!

I don't see anywhere on my AT&T order that indicates the week built. Where would I find that?
Thanks!!

My estimated shipping dates were 11/18 to 12/06, and if all is correct, mine should be here on the 11th. Seven days ahead of their schedule.

according to DHL the tracking number does not exist _yet_
hopefully later today it will show up, from Holland to Sweden should not take Monday to Thursday as it says on estimated delivery 14th. More like Tuesday or Wednesday!
Hope so.
Are they really super, super strict about speed limits in Sweden? Jeremy Clarkson made me think so! lol
My iPhone has been shipped but, when I try to track it on UPS.com It gives me no information.
I'm supposed to receive it tomorrow but sincerely I doubt it!
If the information of tracking at apple.com is reliable, my iPhone is now at Milan (Italy) and I'm in the south-east of Spain, in Murcia. So my bet is Milan(IT)->Valencia(SP)-> Murcia (SP). It would take two days more, at least

haha we are. loads of speed cameras all around the country. But I rather had UPS, have some troubled history with deliverys made by DHL, but hopefully they will don't **** up this time.
Still no tracking search progress. YET.. The time is almost 10 am in Sweden now, either DHL slacking or they haven't handled the package yet.
And one thing that's really weird, a dude I know in same town as me, also ordered a 32GB Gold at the same time as me. He did get a order update on Friday, but his order wasn't shipped, but mine was, and he got his order mail 25th October at 00.06 and I got 00.04 haha, guess I'm lucky or something.
They might really want that I come back ASAP to Apple from being a samballz s3 user for a year
Great, so i can keep on refreshing every 30 minutes..
from 25th October to like on Friday I checked Apple store on my order like around 5 times a day and on Friday when I checked it out I screamed out loud hahahhaha Hhahahahhhahah when I saw 'preparing'
If your order is shipped, Apple will send you an invoice. From that invoice you can find a phone serial number. Manufacturing week is encoded in that number. You can decode it for example here. My 32GB space gray produced on week 42.
So this is the weirdness I am getting... and an estimated delivery date of a week from today...
"Please Note: Your items dispatched from different locations and will be merged together before delivery. Once merged, your Order Status will be updated with carrier and tracking information (at latest 48 business hours before your estimated delivery date)."
Which is odd, since I merely ordered Apple care and the phone.
I should be able to track it now!
