I'm one of those dudes that got up at 2am CST and put in my orders through the Apple Store. This morning the orders were still processing, now they show "preparing for shipment" with a delivery date of the 21st. Coolness.

Looks like most people with VZW have moved to preparing shipment. Us on AT&T are mostly still waiting

I was reading on another forum that if your order says "preparing shipment" it's because your iPhone is shipping from overseas and not Tennessee. Not sure how legit that is though lol, just passing along the message.

Just checked on the vzw website and still states oreder is in process and expected ship date being 9/21/12. It does have Ace order # and location now it wasn't there before

FedEx and UPS have national overnight hubs in Tennessee. Phones will come fro Apple warehouses either in the US or China direct to the hubs in time to be sorted and start delivering 9/21... Verizon also has a customer direct fulfillment warehouse near the FedEx hub.

Ok, I got some news. I called apple directly. The salesperson on the line guaranteed that I'll get it on Friday. Pretty cool of him in my opinion. Marty, if you're anywhere out there, you made a first time per-orderer a very happy guy today.(I usually camp out)

That's where I had to pre-order from as my browser wouldnt open the site. But thanks for the tip, didn't think I'd ever have to use that all so much :eek:
