Say you have a double order. The apple one is flummoxed, Apple says "carrier denied" and you want to make sure one of them gets through. any one.

I don't want to tell them I have a double order! And I haven't seen or been told anything about "carrier denied". Where did you see that?

When I called apple that's the phrasing he used. he said that's why it was taken from PFS to NYS.
 
What did the ATT rep say when you told them you had two orders? Did they act like they could do anything about it?

I think we're the only ones that made it this far without getting cancelled outright yet, and we're the only ones that care or know what's going on.
 
Here's an update.

I called Apple, and she said there is absolutely nothing wrong with my order. She said it's been approved, funds approved, like 5 different things that showed it was ready to go. She said it was probably just the system being flaky and doing different things but that she saw no reason why it shouldn't proceed as normal.

We'll see.

If it went Prepared to ship back to not yet shipped--he said the reason is denial by carrier.
Maybe both of ours are fine and he was just recycling bad info. i.e he assumed I was on a family plan and I had the same error as everyone else.

However, I doubt it with most others getting tracking already.

I wouldn't sweat the tracking too bad yet. I think you're seeing a very small and skewed sampling here on the boards, i.e. people that are excited because they got a shipping notification. Most people don't come and post on message boards when that happens.

I think tomorrow will be a do or die day for us.
 
I have a theory on this. I have the same problem and I think it might have to do with the way FedEx verifies an address. My original shipping address went something like this

My Name
1111 south bend drive #2 (made this up except for the #2 Part)
city state & zip
The #2 part should have been my Apt number. And it should have went under the street address not beside it.

So I called apple and he changed it for me but still says not shipped yet.

Does anyone else have a similar address situation that may be causing it.
 
My order flipped back to "Not Yet Shipped" after initially telling me it was Prepared for Shipment. I checked the ATT website and it shows that the upgrade date has changed on the line. So I'm hoping it wasn't canceled!
 
Oh~~~I got the same situation as yours. 10 hours ago, I checked my iPad status which is Prepared 4 ship, but now it's back to Not yet shipped...So weird...I thought I'm the only one.....
