I ordered the afternoon of June 8 on apple.com. The shipment made it to Kentucky and now it's waiting until the "requested" delivery date, presumably Friday.
lucky you. for some reason i dragged my feet and ordered it last night at 11. as soon as i got on this forum, i regretted waiting.

It was pretty much an impulse buy. I've got a 2G and wanted to get a 3G but decided to see what the new model would bring with it. When I saw it was available for pre-order I quickly placed the order. Don't need a new phone as mine works fine but I'm looking forward to having 3G network access and the updated internals. Now what to do with my 2G....???????????

Mine switched over to "Prepared for Shipment" late yesterday afternoon. Still no shipping info, but I'm feeling confident for a promised Friday delivery date. In the meantime I'm looking forward to OS 3.0 and an UltraSn0w unlock for my current iPhone 3G.

I assume that the "Receiver" is Apple and that the "Future Date" is 6/19 but the whole procedure is misleading and awkward.

I preorder through an ATT store since my wife and I both wanted an Iphone(our first ones) and my tracking also says the receiver requested a hold.

Since our phones are being delivered to a store they have to deliver them before the 19th. So maybe there's hope that you guys getting them shipped to your houses will get them tomorrow.

I ordered from Apple on the 8th. I am still stuck at prepared for shipment. I called Apple this morning and the CS person told me that my shipment was coming from a US location and would be shipped tomorrow overnight. Apple is still saying it will be here by the 19th.

I ordered on the 12th...still "in progress" when I check the status.I was having problems ordering from Apple so I did it from AT&T.

i ordered from premier... just got off the phone with them. premier has a seperate inventory from the rest of att. this is all according to the customer service rep. he was able to check the status of mine even tho it still says pending on the website. he said it will be shipped on the 18th and will be to my house on the 19th. this is just an fyi for those of you who are waiting to hear anything and you ordered from premier. dont know if this has already been covered somewhere.

Looks like Apple and UPS are backpedaling with the estimated delivery date issue. The exception notification is now gone from the shipment status on ups.com and now it only says that it's arrived in Louisville, KY:
