apple's in-store priority list

hi. i dont know which store you have the priority list in, but I know that people who ordered the 32gb iphone 4 from the menlo park apple store recieved their email to pick up their iphones yesterday. (if you are waiting for the 16gb, i dont know about that one). Hopefully, this means you and I will get these email soon. cross your fingers!

Same here with me too. I live in the UK and got put on the list on Tuesday and still nothing yet. I'm on a few store's list's and willing to travel.

If anyone has inside info, please feel free to share!

I put myself on the priority list at the Marlton, NJ Apple Store (Sagemore) on June 25. I got an email this morning saying it was ready for pick up. Too bad I had to cancel it, because I also ordered one from AT&T (on June 30) and it's scheduled to arrive here on July 6.

It took a week at the store in Miami.

This is annoying me as well.
I went on the list at the new Apple Store in Newcastle (UK) at 5pm on the 24th of June and have had nothing further to the confirmation email.
I called the store the other day and asked a few questions; Are you getting iPhone deliveries? If so, how many are getting delivered on average? How long is the priority list? How many iPhones did you sell today for example? None of these could be answered.
I dont understand the lack of information. How could an employee not know how much stock they have, or how many of a particular item they have sold in a given day?! I want to throw £600 at Apple. I just want to know whether it would be quicker to do it in store, or wait the projected 3 weeks it takes over the internet. It makes no sense whatsoever to keep customers in the dark about this.

I went on the list at the leicester store on the 25th june for a black 32gb - i am still waiting.

Does anyone have any concrete info about stock deliveries?

Are apple being secretive - perhaps they are holding back while they check out the antenna issue - or do they have production problems at their factory i.e. workforce protests that we read about in the media?? or am i being a bit paranoid??

Better no data than poor data. I put my name in for an iPad a month or so ago. Called the store on Sat and they said I was #48 on their list. Two days later I went to the Apple store with a friend (new to Apple) to help him buy a MacBook. When I got home, I had an email saying my iPad had arrived there and I should come pick it up: #48? I ended up making three trips to that store that Monday.

Went on the list June 30th and picked up my new iphone 32gb black on July 4th at the Peabody Ma store...I only waited 3 business Days

Put on the priority list on June 27 for a 32GB and received it on July 2 at the Short Hills Apple Store in NJ.

It seems people are getting them fast at the apple store reservation list.

I'm hoping that's true. Although I'm going on holiday on Thursday and I know that'll be when I get a pickup email

I went on the list in Menlo Park on June 27 and received an email on July 2nd that my 32 g was in.

"I'd like to check on my preorder I placed on June 15 please." is another term you could use and provide your ID to look it up.

I went into the Danbury CT store and place an order on the in-store priority list for a 16gb Black model. I received the confirmation email right away. It's been **** since. Checking email constantly waiting for the second Golden Ticket to let me know I can pick it up. The sales Associate said they were filling order between 3 and 7 days but it could be quicker or slower. THANKS. If there were a way to find my place in line even in an approximate, would be better than this silence. The other alternative would be to place an order on line and wait till next month.

Oh well I guess it will be here when it gets here, If there is a glitch in the priority list system, that could be a long ways away.

Same deal here. I was added to the priority list on June 27th and got the instant confirmation e-mail (about officially being on the list). Nine days later? Nothing. Btw, I'm on the list for a 16GB in St. Louis.
This is not exactly what I would call good customer service. Delayed, backlogged? Sure, I understand. But over a week without any info. makes a consumer think she has been dropped from the stupid list. People have been getting them faster through AT&T!
