i am stuck at shenzhen. whats your status?

What phone you ordered? Im currently at Hong Kong, i am waiting for 16gb black. My tracking data along with all the others in my batch is a little messed up. So you got an origin scan?

 

[kalvianthome]

I wonder if the 32gb's get dispatched in big batches?

Even my 32GB gold is preparing for dispatch, checked the status after coming out from work place.
Let's hope we get it in hands by Friday

 

[scottish]

Yes.

Cheers. They better hurry up and prepare mine or I'll cry (maybe).

For those who are preparing for shipping, shipped or even stuck at processing here is the info you need to track your oder or see if its on it's way.

Visit http://www.ups.com/tracking/tracking.html and in the 'Track by Reference' enter your apple order ID. It starts with a W. Mine showed tracking info while apple showed it as "Processing". Note, this happens just before it changes to preparing for shipping.

Once it's shipped you can find your serial number on the Apple support site.

Whatever dates Apple has quoted for delivery they will hold true. I have never experienced them slipping. It can take just 1 day to get from China to the UK. Even if the factories shut down for the holidays, Apple would have taken all this into consideration.

Whatever times UPS shows you can expect delivery on that date, if not 1 day before.

Nothing is 'stuck'. You have nothing to get worried about. It will arrive and it will be glorious.

This only worked for me a day after my order went into preparing stage but definitely +1 don't know why Apple don't just give you tracking number straight away!

My debit card just been charged too.

Hm... They still haven't charged my AMEX yet... It's not even showing under pending transaction Let's hope they forgot to charge it... Free phone...

So that recent departure scan was literally an hour ago from shenzen.....hmmmm I reckon it's just a let upload scan, happens all the time....to be honest though it's only like 40 mins between HK and shenzen, I'm betting on the 13:45 UPS flight out of HK tomorrow

So what do you think the second scan was? Whats a let upload scan?

 

[Dave245]

Just looked and my 5S, Gold, 32GB is "preparing for dispatch" not sure at what time this changed because i've been at university all day.

Oh you mean that from Hong Kong you went back to Shenzhen? We all think thats a mistake, not sure what caused it though

My sisters 16GB Gold ordered at 00:24 has gone to Preparing for Dispatch before mine (64GB Gold + 16GB Silver) which I ordered at 00:10 :/

Seems so weird.

 

[MuGeN PoWeR]

Oh you mean that from Hong Kong you went back to Shenzhen? We all think thats a mistake, not sure what caused it though

yeah:/ whats your status showing?

 

[daijholt]

I've been following mine obsessively since it left china haha. My 16gb gold is still in Germany now and has been since midnight last night.
I expected it to sit there for a day like my MacBook did when that was in transit.

Does anyone think I could end up receiving it tomorrow instead of my predicted date of Wednesday? I've no clue if they could get it from castle donington to Cardiff before the delivery vans head out tomorrow morning.

 

[Gizmo247]

64GB/Grey order 3:00am 20th - "Preparing for dispatch"

Finally!

 

[int79]

yeah:/ whats your status showing?

I went to hong kong and mysteriously now i'm back at shenzehn the scan was at 22:30 but this is most probably an error, i cant seem to find a scheduled flight out of hong kong to dubai, if you find one that will be ours!

 

[steve-p]

My 12:00 64GB gold just changed to preparing to dispatch at last. Now I can get back to watching the rest of the Breaking Bad finale

 

[DigitriX]

Just a quick question...

If I order now online 16GB Space Grey when do you guys think it would be dispatched? It says October without any Estimated Delivery date, but what do you think?
Could it be dispatched say in 10 days? Two weeks?

Thanks!
