    I just got an email from Apple. It says that my white 16GB iPhone 4GS has been shipped and has a ups tracking number. I just found it odd that it shows it being shipped via UPS from Shenzhen, China to my address in Wisconsin... you'd think it would be cheaper to send it bulk to the usa, then process and mail.

    Thanks Matt for the update. We're sure that's how the courier companies operate anyways and Apple would get the deeply discounted rates for the bulk shipping. It's more a status update for individual users so they can track it.

    Preparing for Shipment Not eligible to cancel or returnWhy?Future ShipmentsiPhone 4S 64GB Black Show Rate PlanDelivers Oct 14 via Postal Mix BTW: I deal with international bulk shipping on occasion... Each single iphone although marked for shipment from China as a single package to the end user may seem like it would be very expensive is in fact not as it would seem. The shipments are going out in large bulk crates on planes.. They coordinate with UPS for planes to be filled completely with product. Can you imagine these (link beow) planes filled completely with iPhone.. :)http://www.ups.com/aircargo/using/services/services/domestic/svc-aircraft.html

    I've ordered many Apple products which commonly show a ship from address in China. This is SOP for their product; UPS or FedEx takes care of the rest.My iPhone has shipped from China also with a delivery date of 10/14.I'll be curious if the shipments tagged for an earlier date are held by the carrier at Apple's request. I've seen them do this before during OSX launches to keep item delivery times according to plan.

    I ordered my 4S from AT&T and I'm seeing "In Progress" and "Pending shipment" next to my order. But I should be getting mine on 10/14. I ordered mine at 4:30 AM.

    I also preordered mine fromAT&T, but I preordered in store at 9:05 am eastern time. I though it would be the usual wait in line for your iPhone, but AT&T informed me that they would only be shipping it to customers. My original first email said that it would be 14-21 days until I recieve my iPhone... My order status has also changed from backordered to pending shipment... I better get it on launch day!

    I ordered mine from AT&T about 3:50 am central time. Mine still says pending shipment. And they haven't given me a carrier or tracking number yet. I better get mine on launch day. Before would be nice though.

    I upgraded three of the five lines on my bill on Friday night (7pm EST) and I can't even find the order on the AT&T site under my order history. I know the order was confirmed and if I go in to upgrade my line again all of the phones are at non-discounted pricing and the iphone is not even an option.

    I ordered my iphone 4s from Verizon on Friday morning. At that time I received an email that said the expected ship date was the 14th. Now online it states the expected ship date is Oct 21.

    they at&t canceled my order for no reason. they said once bcz they can deliver in my area where i live. what kind reason is that that should have told before.and the manager didnt have any other good reason to tell me why they canceled it. they couldnt varify some information over the phone then why u took order. and gave me conformation number and all and got my credit card info. now they want me to go to att nearest store. and order. but how i m gona get on release day now..if i knew this gona happen i could have done at best buy or some where else or done at apple.com apple was down and keep giving error so chose to do att. which sucks..now i dont know what to do..very upsetting..
