You can track by reference number on FedEx, for those who are wondering if maybe you just haven't received the email from VZW yet.

https://www.fedex.com/AltRefTracking

Use your location code mine is 0862001
Underscore
Your order number, MUST BE 9 DIGITS so if yours is only 5 digits, for example 76547, fill the prior area with 0's so 000076547

EDIT: zip is 23435

Track by reference on FedEx your number should look something like 0862001_000076547

You'll need to supply the country and destination zip code as well.

I would assume your location code would work, IF, your package has been shipped AND information uploaded into the carriers system AND the shipping carrier is FedEx. Otherwise, you'll get nothing.

Some have posted that this method has worked, others aren't having luck. If you aren't having luck either your device hasn't shipped, FedEx isn't your carrier, or FedEx hasn't updated it's daily manifest yet.

There are numerous reasons why you may not have received your email stating your device has shipped from VZW, but mainly because their email system sucks as does their online status system.

There are some of us this doesn't work for. Location D771101 and Order number 2387. If you can get it to work for me, I''d be glad to know how.

Any "tricky" ways to see if my iPhone from Apple.com has shipped? I doubt it, but thought it was worth asking.
 
I also just got an update that it's in Kentucky. Looks like it's going to be a Monday delivery for sure.

Same for me as well. They shipped it Next Day Air out of Memphis, but the Origination Scan was so late (10 PM Eastern), it didn't make it into yesterday's shipment for delivery today. They must have had tons of orders for mine to take that long, considering I ordered at 3 am Eastern. Of course, they have sold out, apparently. I think I can handle waiting until Monday for my new phone. Even tho my old phone seems to be dying in stages since I ordered the iPhone.
 
Im so pissed the business account customers are getting shafted. Those of us who were up at 3am ordering ASAP have no reference numbers, no tracking numbers, no updates on status of any sorts...just the same "PRE" on or original order page that has been there when shipped...."first come first serve" my @$$

You're not the only gets getting "shafted" though... many of us who were up at 3AM just like you, haven't gotten a shipping notice or anything...
 
For me??

I can't locate your order on UPS or FedEx...sorry.

Not Working for me either, I dont know if I am enter the wrong info or what is up..

Location: N211601
Order Number: 1173
Zip: 56136
 
I just got off the phone from a representative with UPS, who was very nice to deal with. I haven't gotten any update on UPS since this info:

West Chester, PA, United States 02/03/2011 4:25 P.M. Origin Scan
United States 02/03/2011 6:21 P.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS

and due to my impatientness, was trying to find out whatever I could. The woman I spoke with said she input all of the packages information...like the date and time, kind of shipping, and weight, etc. into a calculating thing and said it should be here TODAY by the end of the business day! Let's hope she's right!
mine says the same thing.. were are you located?
 
So mine went from Memphis to Louisville KY. I guess I won't get it till Monday

Mine too and I live in Nashville,TN?

They have a huge UPS hub in Louisville, KY. I guess the sorting will be easier there. Oh well..no distractions during the Super Bowl..may have to call in sick on Monday... *cough... cough*... :)

Don't know if yours will 100% go out Fedex but need delivery zip to try

Ecko, can you try to find mine, because I can't! My location is D7711-01 and reference number is 43567. Zip 24551. Thanks for trying.
 
Well I think its safe to say all of us UPS peeps can stop getting there hopes up.

I just got off the phone with UPS. They CLAIM that the Kentucky hub is an "air scan" which all packages go through via the plane. So that scan does NOT mean the package is ON THE GROUND, it is still in transport...

At least that is what I got from the nice lady on the phone, and also CLAIMS that it should still get here today..
 
Ordering from apple.com was obviously a poor choice. I don't understand why those of us ordering from there are getting the shaft. Mine still says "Prepared for Shipment"

Order Number: W267278190
Order Date: Feb 3, 2011 at 12:04 AM PST
 
You sure you're not tracking a clock or a pocket protector like the other false alarms this morning? ;)

Obviously, please post pics as soon as you get your package delivered.

I swear, I'm not joking. I joined the forum yesterday because I was very excited about it and wanted to join the community of people who were as well!

I will definitely try to post pics.

For those of you who have not received a tracking number yet, someone posted this on another forum and it worked for me. Shows my being delivered on Monday.:)

I am no longer able to determine whether I am addicted to the phone that hasn't arrived yet or to this forum. SMH...
 
Got my tracking number... looks like a Monday delivery. I would have LOVED to receive it today but I am happy with Monday... I get it before the Feb 10 Launch date!
