Any way to do it before apple confirms its shipping ?

If it's going by UPS all you need is your original order number (starts with a W), not a tracking number, then follow the instructions given above and elsewhere. DON'T put any other info into the UPS tracker like your postcode, JUST the W number in TRACK BY REFERENCE.

I know people are saying to use one of the other numbers provided when your item status changes to SHIPPED, but my W number works for me.
 
Yeah! Just checked on UPS and "a UPS shipping label has been created"!

Still "Preparing for Shipment" with Apple.

64GB Black - things are moving again!

Lucky sod!

Still nothing on my 64 black. :( :(
 
Anyone with a 2 x iPhone order (single order) been dispatched yet?

Mine, ordered before 8.55am on Friday from Apple's site is still preparing :(

I'm wondering whether the dual iPhone will have a negative impact.

Use your Apple order number 'W00000000'.
 
Just got my shipping email :)

Ordered as soon as site went up, moved to prepared for shipping last night and should be with me tomorrow (just outside Edinburgh). Can't come soon enough - been using an old battered Nokia since I sold my 4 last week.

I think I'll put on some cologne so at least I smell nice when apple's "preparing for shipment" f£&%s me!! lol
 
What was the latest peoples iPhone 4's dispatched last year to arrive the next day?

Do you mean dispatched or the status changed to dispatched?

Some of the statuses won't update till the early hours of tomorrow morning based on last year, you might not even get your dispatch email till after your iPhone!
 
My white 32GB iPhone was last located in Tamworth, and is on time for delivery tomorrow (by end of day). Apple's site still says "Preparing for shipping", I have no email and no money has been took from my bank. If you haven't heard anything from Apple then go to the UPS site and put your Order Ref (in your confirmation email when you pre ordered) in "Track by Reference" and see if that helps. I'm done with Apples site now! Just going to keep checking on the UPS site from now on.

Can you only track your order if you ordered directly from apple? If not, anyone know how I track my order from three?
 
'Track Shipment' link now working. Ordered from Apple.com on October 7, (before the order page looked pretty ;)).

Delivery, October 14 - (Subject to Change).

Good luck to all those out there who are still waiting!

Just got dispatch email from Three. Not getting delivery until Saturday. Which is slightly annoying as I ordered as soon as I could last Friday. As there website wasn't working I can't see many people ordering before I did...

Scheduled Delivery:

Not at all happy with Apple if my phone doesn't turn up tomorrow. I ordered with in minutes store went up and even then am getting it on 17th October.

To be honest with all the mixed feelings I had between I ordered and I saw tracking info, I think it was better to waste 4-5 hours standing in the line to get this phone rather than wasting my time this whole week thinking only about iPhone. Thats literally pathetic on apple's part!!!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Just got this email...

'Dear Tanuj Dua,

Thank you for choosing the Apple Store.

With reference to your recent order, we would like to inform you that we have split the shipment of your order to expediate items as they become available. As items on your order are dispatched you will receive a dispatch notification email from Apple advising you of expected delivery dates and enabling you to track your order.

The first delivery of your order, including your iPhone 4S, will be made by carrier and will dispatch on or before 14.10.2011. You can track this delivery on the following order status link http://store.apple.com/uk/orderstatus or alternatively on the carriers own website.

Your MC596ZM/A IPHONE 4 DOCK-ZML will be dispatched by post 48 hours later and delivered to your shipping address. As your order is being delivered by post there is no online tracking available for this.

Thank you for choosing Apple.

Kind regards,
The Apple Store'

I am going to now assume mine must be dispatching sooooon *hopes*.
 
Damn. When I put the Wxxxxx order number into the UPS system, I get a message that my white 32Gb is "in transit" but with "Scheduled Delivery" for Monday 17 October "by end of day".

It's in Tamworth right now but I guess they can't get it to Northern Ireland by tomorrow. You might think that's reasonable but Royal Mail do next-day delivery across the Irish Sea without a hitch. I know it's just 4 days but I SO wanted it tomorrow.
