We Just Got Our iPhone 4S Shipping Notification, Have You Gotten Yours? [Open Thread]

By

orderstatus

Although the iPhone 4S just went on sale this past Friday the first wave of iPhone 4S shipments from China have started with a delivery date of October 14th. The carrier in my case is UPS.

I received my shipping notification this morning and other reports are cropping up about customers receiving their shipping notices from Carriers like Sprint and AT&T. I haven’t heard if Verizon models have shipped yet from either Apple or any of the carriers.

Have you received your shipping notification? Let us know if your iPhone 4S has shipped, from where and what the estimated delivery date is in the comments.

    Just received mine this morning as well. Glad to see my super early morning ordering pay off. Can’t wait to get it, I’ve still got the 3GS so this will be a pleasant upgrade for me :).

  2. Uc says:

    I woke early and ordered as soon as apples website was available but I still have not received my email. :-(

  3. Cwhit6 says:

    I got the same notification this morning. Fun to track the route.

  4. iPhone 4S-64GB/Blk says:

    I haven’t received my notification yet.  I ordered it with a reservation code because the AT&T site couldn’t process the information at 3AM, so I finally paid for it at 5AM Friday.  Still waiting.

  5. Done says:

    Mine is coming too. I have th 3G, and everyday I curse that phone so Ill just be happy with the speed bump.

  6. Patwal says:

    I ordered it at 6am est and still waiting for the shipping confirmation.

  7. Josephine says:

    ordered at 6am (ish) EST on 10/7 from apple for att – got shipping notification email 9:11am 10/10 – its in hong kong coming via UPS

  8. Rmoor says:

    Ordered at 7 a.m. (Phoenix time) on 10/07.  Apple is telling me mine is “preparing for shipping.”  Now, let’s see if they slip in a $100 bill, two years in a row!  BOOM!

  9. iMuslim says:

    What do you mean by Verizon models?

  10. nan says:

    stll waiting over here! They were “preparing for shippment” this whole weekend. 

  11. greenEL says:

    Still waiting to receive my email.  After I received the “reserved” page I finished my order around 9 am est. on friday.  I’m still using the 3G and can’t wait for this upgrade.  I won’t panic until midday tomorrow if I still haven’t received the shipping notification email.

  12. Myrtlegirl2 says:

    Ordered on Verizon site around 8:30 am on Friday.  Over weekend when I checked on order it said it would ship for delivery on October 14th.  This morning is says, “will ship on October 14th”.  Hope this is not right!

  13. TheRealJTRay says:

    Of those have received notice of shipment did you order Black or White.  Co-Worker ordered a 1 Black Model and 1 White model.  The Black has shipped, but not the White one.

  14. rohitkapur says:

    same for me. I ordered a 16 gb black (which shipped) and a 32gb white (which is still preparing)

    EDIT: both AT&T

  15. davester13 says:

    Still in the ‘Processing Items’ stage for my unlocked Canadian 64Gb black 4S, with a ships by date of Oct 14.

    At least Apple doesn’t use Purolator here, as they will just drive by your house, wave the package if they see you, then you have to go to their warehouse on the other side of the city to actually get the package.

  16. TheRealJTRay says:

    My 32GB White model has not shipped as of yet.  I don’t doubt that it will, but it would be cool if it arrived early. 

  17. Sfghouse says:

    Hey, I’m from San Francisco, CA — Preordered @ 12 AM. Verizon. This is my current status.

  18. jimbo says:

    i pre-ordered thru verizon website.. 10:49 email confirmation Friday EST.. for 1 black and 1 white 16GB.. still no update to ship date and still says the 14th

  19. Jon Shaulis says:

    Verizon doesn’t show anything for my order status at all. I placed the order about 2pm EST on Friday over the phone since their online site wasn’t working for me. I called and the guy told me it’s supposed to arrive on Friday so we shall see.

  20. Tchanaviabryant says:

    Did anybody order from Sprint and get a tracking number yet? I’ve only got the order has been processed email.

  21. Na2 says:

    I received my Sprint Tracking number a couple hrs. ago. Tracking number not recognized (yet) at UPS tracking site. Maybe tomorrow?

  22. Estrada_714 says:

    Mine has not shipped I ordered it on friday Oct 7 at the verizon store.

  23. Giantdolphan says:

    two white (8 gb) phones with UPS tracking numbers enroute from China/HK.

  24. COrey Jones70 says:

    thats the status of mine also. i called verizon and they said they will ship it thursday using overnight shipping so we should get ours friday!

  25. Blahblah232 says:

    no, i bought mine at 4:26 am eastern time and i ordered from apple not my carrier att and it states that its in the process to ship part

  26. Blahalvd says:

    can anyone tell me what kind of international shipping it is i know its from ups is it express…express plus ….expedited….or supersaver

  27. Dianna says:

    I ordered a black 32 GB phone around 2:30am Pacific Time on Oct 7.  It has shipped from China to Hong Kong to Alaska.  Left Alaska and not sure where it will go next…hopefully Dallas since I live 15 minutes from DFW airport!

  28. Blahalvd says:

    i ordered white and 1 hour earlier than to you and still says ready for shipping did you get it thru apple thats what i did and still phones are being sent out and i didnt have an option for faster shipping there were no faster shipping options was this the same for you 

  29. Owenscircle21 says:

    My white 32G iphone 4S is also In Alaska. I hope we get them early like last years shipment of the iPhone 4. I ordered mine around 4 a.m. Pacific time

  30. Vic Teo says:

    Ordered 2 white 16GB iphone 4S’es thru apple.com on 7 Oct 7am ET. UPS tracking says they arrived in Anchorage, AK on 10/10/2011 at 2:41pm. Scheduled delivery is Friday 10/14.

  31. Dtminhthu says:

    Mine shipped from China. Just found that out this morning :) Ordered at roughly 5:30am eastern time on Friday. 32gb white

  32. Qdvictoria81 says:

    I ordered a white att 16 gb and it left alaska last night UPS

  33. Angelique Foust says:

    Ordered the 32GB (white) Friday around 3pm CST. Phone shipped yesterday (10th) from China, to Alaska, and is now (11th) in Kentucky. I am waiting for it to get to Austin. Hopefully Thursday *fingers crossed*

  34. Chris says:

    I ordered 2 4s’s – one for my wife (white 16GB) and one for myself (black 32GB). Im the tech geek and my wife just wants a new phone.  Ironically, her phone shipped on the 10th and is now in KY (im assuming it will get here thursday).  Mine on the other hand… STILL HASN’T SHIPPED.  I am happy for her, but I WANT MY NEW 4S! Not gonna be happy if i have to wait till next week to get it!  I guess before i go postal, i will have to wait and see…

  35. Ken says:

    My black 32GB shipped this morning and is leaving Hong Kong. Ordered around noontime on the 11th.

  36. Ken says:

    Errr…

    Make that the 7th….

    Need more coffee.

  37. jimbo says:

    now all the people that are getting their tracking numbers, did you all order thru the apple website or thru the carrier?

  38. Weather says:

    I have two in KY!!!  Hoping they get here early!  My 4 arrived a day early last time.  I have company coming Friday so it will be nice to have some play time with my new gadget before Fri.  Do you think UPS will hold up delivery? You would think having some land Wed or Thurs might lighten the Friday load for them.  Don’t really see the point for having them hold them.  BTW, my 2rd phone has not shipped from ATT, only my 2 ordered from apple at 3:45 am ET on launch day.

  39. Rllogan says:

    I too am a Verizon customer…checked the status and mine has changed to this….

  40. Meg F says:

    I got a reservation in around 4:30am EST and then finalized my order on the Apple Store at around 7:45. My order status still says Preparing for Shipment. Is something wrong with my order? I’m so nervous now.

  41. me says:

    nope..my iphone 4S has not shipped yet..ordered on Friday, October 7, 2011 at 8:30 E.S.T…my order is processing..hope to get this by Friday…ordered it on the Apple store..black, 32 G for Verizon.

  42. bnd mama says:

    i got two 4s…one white 32gb and one 64gb black….still processing…what’s going on?? I ordered it on Friday @7am est… I am going to be very sad if i don’t get them on Friday!!  :(

  43. PityDaFoo says:

    $5 says that the ones who ordered early enough will get the phones that have already been shipped stateside for the launch. The ones that are shipping from China are for the people that couldn’t get in early enough. Much quicker to ship within the US.
    Pretty sure this is the case because they knew they were gonna see a high demand with all the iPhones that have been selling on eBay, etc & the wouldn’t want to turn anyone away before getting record presale numbers in. I ordered way early too but my page still says processing. They will get it to me by Friday as promised.

  44. appleofmy_i says:

    I ordered 32gb white (att) october 7, around 5 pm at apple. Got confirmation around 9 pm the same day. Got shipping notification yesterday- must have been a lucky break!   And my new little friend has been flying in from china via hong kong and alaska. Landed at Louiseville, KY in the wee hours today. Now, would they deliver it earlier or stick to the friday delivery date? It cant take 3 days from KY to NJ after it took only about 16 hours from Shenzen, China to louiseville! Can’t wait.

  45. Evan connolly says:

    Im in stanhope, nj so mine also is in ky. Im thinking we will get them early. Even if they were to hold it a day in ky we would get it by thurs. And i don’t think they will randomly just hold it because spple shipped them too early just look at how people got thier iphone 4’s early last year and people in germany are already getting thiers.

  46. Glessor says:

    Even if you status says “Preparing for Shipment” it is already on the way. You can still track it at the UPS website using Track by Reference. Just use your phone number as “Shipment Reference” and enter your zip code. Do no enter Shipper Account.

  47. Dreamgrifter Films says:

    Me either, and my order was in within minutes of Apple’s website going live.  Oh well, it’ll get here when it gets here.  Can’t wait for Siri, so I have someone to talk to.  ;0)

  48. Chris says:

    I ordered 2 16GB white at about 8am CST and 1 more at about 10am. One of the ones ordered at 8am just shipped!

  49. iBeer says:

    Ordered mine at 8:00 A.M. EST on Fri 10/7. Just got my notification today. Looks like mine is still in China. Seems reasonable that I would get it Friday. I would suspect that the folks who’s phones are already here in the States, may get theirs early. Wooooo Whoooooo.

  50. Krentko says:

    I ordered mine right at 2:45 cst when the store first opened and mine say preparing for shipment. I think you are correct the early orders will ship later as they are already in the us.

  51. Blahalvd says:

    all the iphones are coming from china

  52. Blahalvd says:

    that worked for me 

  53. Blahalvd says:

    and apple hasnt sent me a confirmation number or tracking number yet 

  54. Blahalvd says:

    one was send by ups and the other was fed ex read up a little and you can find your package i found mine it says still in ready to ship status

  55. Blahalvd says:

    plus you have to factor in the time and date change in china theyre ahead of us by a day 12hours

  56. P-Russ says:

    did anyone order through Verizon?   I did Friday morning online – my confirmation email says delivery date the 14th… but no tracking # has been sent…  and the track your order link in the email just says that my ‘order has been received and is in process’…   guessing all is good and I should get it this Friday… but wondering if others ordering through Verizon are getting the same info

  57. Meg F says:

    Didn’t work :-( but thanks!

  58. Glessor says:

    Well, it worked for me an many others. No worries, if your status says to be delivered Friday, you have no cause to.

  59. Glessor says:

    And I just got Apple’s shipment notification 5 minutes ago but my package is already in Alaska.

  60. PityDaFoo says:

    Yes, all of them come from China because that is where they are assembled but my point was that they already have stock in the US for the launch & they probably split the pie between the Apple Store, the carriers, stores like Best Buy & the preorder crowd.

    I am saying all this because I hope to have my new 64gb white iPhone 4S on launch day (desperately wanted a white one on iP4 launch day). I sacrificed my opportunity to stand in line for 10+ hours with other fanboys/girls, making friends & battling on our iPads. I did this last year & it was a blast.

    I “reserved” one to buy online around 1am PST on 10/7/11 & went to sleep. Got an email in the middle of the night that my iPhone was ready to buy, I followed the link from my email & bought it around 7am PST without the same god-awful traffic I experienced at launch time.

    Crossing my fingers as I have not gotten any change in my order status as of 7pm this evening.

  61. Guest says:

    Yea I ordered @ 11AM and my order is still processing… (it’s for VZW)

  62. Meg F says:

    Thanks for all of you help! I feel a lot better now. I was getting pretty nervous for a while there.

  63. cdr says:

    I’m in the DFW area too and mine went from Alaska to KY … so sad that it flew right over!

  64. jimbo says:

    P-Russ i ordered thru verizon website and got the confirmation email at 1030am on the 7th.. all my stuff and websites say the same information.. and I ordered to 16GB… 1 white and 1 black.. I better get them by the 14th as they promised or I am going to very upset.. thats the whole point of preorder and thats what they said was that it would arrive on the 14th…..

  65. Angikat says:

    Mine is the same. I got an email stating it would be shipped to deliver on friday but so far there is no tracking number. I ordered at 10am on friday the 7th over the phone.

  66. Kparra007 says:

    I received a notification from my carrier AT&T this evening around 9pm EST stating that my order from Oct. 7 (5:30am) is “still scheduled to be delivered as early as October 14, 2011.” Apparently I am supposed to receive an email with the tracking information in the near future. I wasn’t expecting the email. I ordered a black 32g through the AT&T site. Intersting thing I discovered is that my order number on my AT&T account doesn’t match the order number on my email notifications. For some reason the email confirmation came through the AT&T Premier Business system, and my login for my account is Personal…not Business. As an added bonus, I ordered the same device in the same manner fir my spouse in a separate transaction…one behind the other…and that order is moving through the system in the same manner. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a Friday delivery.

  67. sar3483 says:

    1:00am October 12, Just received shipping confirmation for a black 64gb ATT. Shows delivery BY October 14. I ordered around 9:30am EST on October 7.

  68. Versaceboy54 says:

    My order went through at 412am (NYC time) via the att site. It went through rite away and I never had to go through the process of coming back for a reserve time like other people have described. I then went to bed and didn’t get the actual email order confirmation until 546am. Until about yesterday around 9pm when I checked the order status via att site all it said was processing, it now says order shipped via fedex but the kicker is it said the phone was shipped on the 9th but when go to track the package on fedex the info doesn’t come up yet. And I never received the official shipping confirmation email from att yet either. I’m not worried I know I will be getting my phone by the 14th if not earlier lol that would be nice.. But the point is this whole process is so confusing…all i can say is good luck to everyone that is going to be waiting on line at launch, I usually do that myself and have always enjoyed it but this time something told me to preorder :)

  69. Xxcoryxx13 says:

    I have verizon and pre order mine one the 7th it got an email saying it was shipped and on its way tracking number and all

  70. Dregl3 says:

    Verizon has not let me know if my 4s has shipped.  Can’t get a tracking number or any info pertaining to it.  I’ve received Apple products from China in 48 hours before but with today being Wednesday this is the day if they’re going to come through

  71. jimbo says:

    on the verizon confirmation email there is also an order location number.. mine is D771001.. I wonder what that means.. I am so anxious.. this is my first iphone and i just want it here already.. preordered at 1030am est on the 7th thru verizon website.. with 2 16gb white and black phones..

  72. Blahalvd says:

    did you get your shipping confirmation yet there is a way to find your phone before they sent it already i just finally received my shipping confirm today however yesterday i was able to find it before they sent me a tracking number

  73. Blahalvd says:

    true you will receive it otherwise you would have an email with the date pushed back…dont forget all the iphones are in china and it takes a day for it to hit the states; however dont forget they sold over 1 million phones im sure there is a lot of chaos in the warehouse

  74. Blahalvd says:

    true mine just hit ky this morning and i live in Pennsylvania I am sure we may receive them tomorrow or by Friday def so be prepared and by the door that is one thing i will hate if i missed the ups guy or fed ex

  75. Blahalvd says:

    i just received my shipping information today however i found it last night on ups it is in kentucky

  76. Blahalvd says:

    no all preorders are coming from china …. it takes one day to get here in the states  they have deals with fedex and ups they dont have to go through customs cause they go through as one big freight 

  77. jimbo says:

    blahalvd did u get thru verizon website like i did? i got the confirmation email right when after i ordered it.. and can you let me know how you were able to find out?

  78. Blahalvd says:

    i know how u feel meg cause up utnil last night i wasnt able to track my package until i tried what glessor explained and found my shipment and i woke up the am and they finally sent me a verfication of shopping with the tracking number however i was able to track it since last night……if it says delivery on the 14 you have no problem at all

  79. jimbo says:

    did u get thru verizon website like i did? i got the confirmation email right when after i ordered it.. and can you let me know how you were able to find out?

  80. Meg F says:

    I got the e-mail this morning as well! :-) I’m so excited. Although I do feel stupid for calling Apple last night worried that it wasn’t going to come! lol

  81. Geraldnaus says:

    I ordered a Verizon iPhone 4s white 64GB, got ups next day air saver notification this morning. It’s still at the “a label has been created” stage.

  82. jimbo says:

    huh.. verizon.com changed my order update.. now it says my order will deliver by the 14th.. but still no tracking number.. very odd

  83. Rbgdesignz says:

    I have a tracking # but no updates. I ordered mine through sprint.com friday around 8pm

  84. Billy says:

    i ordered through the vzw at 2:50AM ET and the tracking number today shows it was picked up from the apple warehouse by fedex this morning and is now enroute to the fedex shipping facility which is 90 minutes away from the apple warehouse. Still says delivery on the 14th, so maybe Apple is having them hold it at their facility for a day since I only live 10minutes from the fedex warehouse

  85. Blahalvd says:

    should be there tomorrow cause i talked to UPS and they said they dont hold the packages and it was the iphone and they knew it was the iphone i was talking about 

  86. Blahalvd says:

    jimbo no apples website at 426am eastern time received notification and hour later not even

  87. Blahalvd says:

    meg i called apple about 6 times

  88. PaulR1 says:

    l just received my notification from verizon,,,wednesday at 11:30AM,,,PST ,,it will shipped thru fedex,,it will arrived late thursday or friday morning,,the latest,,,,so lm good to go,,,

  89. Phoolendra says:

    when did you placed your order

  90. Donna9400 says:

    I had an email this morning from Verizon saying that my iPhone has shipped…. Provided ups tracking number but when I click on the ups link, I received a message that no information is available yet. I’m just glad it’s on it’s way!

  91. Poughkeepsie says:

    I ordered mine from verizon and it has left Memphis and should arrive on the 13th

  92. Adams5 says:

    Versaceboy54 I have the same situation. Ordered 2 iPhones with no problem through AT&T (Premier) site, one at 8:30 & one at 9:30 AM (EST). I immediately received both confirmations that I will ‘receive’ on October 14th. Since then I have been watching, like a hawk the order status site they sent me in the email, as well as, the ‘My Orders’ tab directly on AT&T website. Both have been processing since Friday. Then around 1pm today I received one email, not two, from Premier telling me that my order is still scheduled to ship on time. I decided to check the order status site again for BOTH and Voila, they showed shipped, even gave me a tracking number. Of-course I immediately tracked them and no information was available yet so I called Fedex. The gentlemen said the tracking numbers were more than likely pre-purchased labels used by the shipper and that the package was not yet in their possession. I advised that the shipping date was 10/10 (which was weird when I didn’t receive the confirmation until today), still he said “Ma’am, we don’t have it, the package hasn’t left the shipper yet”. I work for wholesale company and we’ve done this before so I knew what he was talking about. Tracking numbers were assigned but Apple probably won’t release to Fed Ex until tomorrow. In any event around 7pm EST I finally received the shipping confirmation email(s) for both phones from Premier and although there is still “no information” on Fed Ex website I am confident I should receive Friday and so will the rest of you.. Best of luck, fingers crossed for us all!!
    .#iPhonePreOrderHell :-))))

  93. PityDaFoo says:

    Crap, my status on the Apple Store website still says “Processing Items”

    I was able to order earlier than almost everybody I see getting their tracking numbers from China.

    I even tried the “Track by Reference” trick on UPS but still nothing. My delivery date is still 10/14 so either they are lying to me or there are a bunch of launch phones already in the country for the presale people, like I suspected. I doubt the phone could be shipped to my door from china in 40ish hours.

  94. PityDaFoo says:

    Because I am obsessing about this, I called 1-800-MY-APPLE to ask about details of my order. There wasn’t much the lady could tell me but she did confirm that the phone was shipping from the US. That is huge. So that means I should be getting a shipping update within the next 24 hours.

  95. Cynthia Seymour says:

    Just got my shipping notification from Apple and I was blown away to see it was shipping from China.   I am wowwwwwed by the Global nature of this.  Far cry from the pony express!

  96. Kparra007 says:

    It’s Wednesday evening and I noticed that the status of my orders changed to “Shipped” with a tracking number that doesn’t work on the UPS tracking site.  What’s interesting is that the ship date populated to yesterday’s date 10/11/11, when just yesterday it showed “Processing.”

  97. P3 says:

    I never received a tracking number via email, but when I went to the Sprint site to check on the order, I found a tracking number issued on the 10th. Today is the 12th and the tracking number for UPS still just shows that billing info was received. It doesn’t show that it was actually picked up/left the warehouse. It says 2nd day air so it seems like it should have left by today/tonight at the latest. I don’t get it :(

  98. Redstripebeer says:

    Ordered my at noon on friday the 7th and got confirmation that it was processed and then shipped from China, then landed in Alaska and now on route to me in Brooklyn NY.  I am hopeful to get it by Thurs, but def. on friday 14.  Come on UPS, please come early.  

  99. Tyingharmony says:

    I got my email and tracking number one day after I bought it. I live in Wa. State. I talked to my UPS guy (we are on a first name basis as I work in a small town) and he said that they are about 5000,000 of our phones waiting in the HUB, in KY (where mine has been sitting for two days). My shipping info confirms this. He said they had a meeting and they (the phones) will be heading out to their varied destinations tomorrow.

  100. Blahalvd says:

    maybe they were sent out tonight not tomorrow cause depending where they have to go 

  101. Blahalvd says:

    Ordered mine (16GB Black) on Verizon’s website a few minutes after pre-orders opened.  Received shipment notification this morning (Oct 12), but UPS didn’t have any data to post until this evening.   It is currently at the UPS hub in Ontario, California.  Strangely, it still shows an arrival date of the 14th, even though I am only 50 miles away and it is next-day shipping.  I don’t think they hold packages, so I’m hoping it shows up a day early!

  103. Work59 says:

    I just received my shipping notice (11:00PM Wed) with scheduled delivery on Friday and a current  location “Departed HK” at 11:45 Wed (my time, not HK). The funny part is my regular UPS driver told me they had a bunch of Apple boxes in the local warehouse for Friday delivery and he assumes they are all iPhones.

    I ordered from the Verizon Wireless website. Received my shipping notification on 10/12 @ 2:30pm. Says it will deliver by 10/14. I’m still hoping to get it a day early… which would be later today !!!!

  105. jimbo says:

  106. Sabadeau2005 says:

    Sprint, have UPS tracking number, but no tracking information as of yet. Not holding my breath that it will arrive till next week. :(

  107. Sabadeau2005 says:

    my ups tracking works, ordered on the 7th, just no updated information. As far as I can tell its sitting on the moon still :/

  108. Sabadeau2005 says:

    i have a ups tracking number but thats it.

  109. Shaozhi says:

    Ordered mine from the online Apple Store (Canada) a few minutes after pre-order opened on Oct 7… said it would be shipped by Oct 14.  Got my notification this morning (Oct 13) and the estimated delivery date is Oct 19.  Tracking information on UPS shows that it was shipped from Shenzhen, China.  The current status is that it has left Hong Kong this morning.

  110. P3 says:

    My (Sprint) tracking number just updated! It says something about being in Kentucky as of this morning and it is scheduled for delivery by tomorrow end of day! UPS guy always comes around so late here so I probably won’t get it till about 7 p.m. or so. My cell phone case from Best Buy is scheduled for delivery tomorrow as well.

  111. Robertdherzog says:

    Received delivery confirmation on mine from Verizon last night to arrive on Friday.  But my business partner who ordered his at the same time and has a order number 5 off of mine, is delayed until the 21st.

  119. Tom says:

     I ordered mine (16gb black version) from the ATT site, and my Fedex tracking info shows it shipped early this morning from Fort Worth, TX, and is scheduled for delivery tomorrow (14th).

  120. PityDaFoo says:

    How much what? The weight? Mine says 1lb/0.5kg.

  121. PityDaFoo says:

    Status changed to “Preparing for Shipment” last night around 10pm PST & changed to “Shipped” this morning at 10am. Tracking number with FedEx active around 12:30 this afternoon & it is indeed shipping from somewhere in the US, though I don’t yet know where from. Tracking says it will be delivered by 10:30am on launch day! This was ordered from Apple.

  122. Chonqou says:

    I ordered a white 16gb 4S from AT&T.  My Fedex tracking info said it shipped today (oct 13) and will arrive tomorrow (oct 14).  Shipping was free and I wasn’t charged any tax, so my total came out to 199.99

  123. Blahalvd says:

    actually yes it can

  124. Blahalvd says:

    my package went from china to kentucky less than 36 hours

  125. Brett Ernenputsch says:

    I ordered on the 7th from AT&T Premier where I received an email stating that the unit is expected to arrive on October 14th, however when I checked the order status through AT&T- it shows that it is back ordered and hasn’t shipped. I am going to a retail store tomorrow to try and then cancel my preorder..

  130. Rick says:

  131. Beth says:

    I’m in the exact same boat–my husband ordered a black 64gb and I ordered a white 32gb–his is hear but I don’t have a tracking number :-( darn.  maybe tomorrow

  132. Kim says:

    Ordered mine on 10/13 via AT&T website and still pending shipment from FEDEX.

  133. niz says:

    I ordered mine on the night of the 7th from at&t and its still pending shipment..

  134. Gmart248 says:

    I ordered mine on the 8th from apple, 32gb verizon white and it shipped today. It was estimated to ship on the 24th-31st. Lucky for me I guess. I found it interesting one of my family members who ordered directly from verizon several days after me would get theirs before mine haha.

  135. Amar Patel says:

    Hey everyone. I pre-ordered my 16GB Black iPhone 4S at an AT&T retail store, Saturday October 8th, 2011 in the afternoon. I checked my order status today and it says that my iPhone is “backordered”. What does this mean and when do you think I’ll get it? I just can’t wait any longer!!!!

  136. Nolascua says:

    my email from att i can’t decode it. but i can’t even track it. =D

  137. Nolascua says:

    where u able to cancel the preorder? i wasnt allowed to cancel it.

  138. Nathan_Haverkamp says:

    I pre-ordered my iPhone 4S on friday the 7th in the afternoon from an AT&T retail store and my tracking confirmation has said on backorder since I recieved my first confirmation email.

  139. Nathan_Haverkamp says:

    Has AT&T gave you any more info on when you may recieve the phone?

  140. Bpalutti says:

    i ordered mine on the morning of the 7th from an AT&T store.  still no tracking number, no phone, and AT&T says that it could potentially be delayed by as much as 3 weeks!  it’s been 4 days already, and yet my friend who ordered his phone from the Apple Site on Saturday the 8th got his phone on Friday the 14th.  this is pathetic.

  141. Zdanny101l says:

    My has been preparing for shipping for almost over 4 hours. Anyone know when it usually ships and arrives

  142. Amar Patel says:

    When did you order yours?

  143. Zdanny101l says:

    The 9th at like 2pm. I used standard shipping

  144. Amar Patel says:

    Oh ok, did you get it from an AT&T store? Because that’s where I got mine from  on the 8th and I want to know when I’ll get my iPhone in the mail. 

  145. Zdanny101l says:

  146. Johncap523 says:

  147. Keishamari says:

    What day did you order yours, Chonqou?  I ordered mine from a store in Southern IN on October 9th.

  148. Shelby says:

    I 0ordered my phone on the 9th and I called apple to see if they had a schedule and was told that my phone would arrive between the last week of October to the first week of November….

  149. Lee Jones says:

    I am ready to cancel my Iphone 4s that I pre-ordered in the afternoon of October 7th and it still states in progress.  I have no way of finding when I will get the phone and it has been over 2 weeks as of this writing on October 23rd.  Apparfently Apple with out Steve is going down hill.

  150. audrey says:

    you should just contact apple customer service. they would’ve taken care of you’re problem a long time ago haha

  151. audrey says:

    thats crazy!
    i ordered mine on oct 17th and i have the same delivery dates as you….

  152. Tiffie says:

  153. Keishamari says:

    I ordered my phone from AT & T Store on the 9th, It is now the 26th and I have still not gotten a shipment notification.  My brother ordered his directly from Apple on th 14th.  His was shipped from China and he received it yesterday.

  159. Troy says:

    I ordered my new IPHONE 4S from Verizon store in West Chester, Ohio on 10/29.  The “sales associate” said it would be delivered today.  I heard that the 4S is having battery problems.  I wonder if the phones are still being shipped with knowledge of a defect?

  160. Keishamari says:

    I ordered mine thru At & T store on October 9th.  Got it on November 3rd!!

  161. Paigemmatthews says:

    I ordered my white 16 g Iphone 4s 26 days ago in the at&t store where is it when do you think it will be here?

  162. Artiez_perez says:

    how come you weren’t charged tax?  I bought from AT&T and they charged me $25 in tax.. Still waiting for my iPhone 4s.. It’s going to be 2 weeks tomorrow.

  163. Artiez_perez says:

    I ordered my 64 GB iPhone 4s-white on 11/2/11 from AT&T. The sales associate said that I’ll get it in 2 weeks. The longest 2 weeks ever!

  164. Slave2cpas says:

    I ordered my black 64GB 4S in the AT&T store on the evening of 10/26/11. I recieved notice yesterday (11/16/11) that my phone has shipped 2nd Day via UPS and I should have it by the end of the day on 11/18/11.
