Anyone have their iPhone 5 pre-order shipping confirmation and working tracking link yet?

For anyone pre-ordering an iPhone 5, please post when you have a UPS/Fedex shipping tracking link that actually works and indicates that your iPhone 5 is in transit and whether or not it is scheduled to be delivered on Friday the 21st to coincide with when the iPhone 5 will be available in stores. And did you pre-order through the Apple store or through one of the carriers, e.g. Verizon or AT&T? And did you pre-order early on Friday the 14th or are you hours or days back in the pre-order queue?

Caravan, use this link to check your Verizon pre-order status:

I think they sent out the wrong link in the confirmation email.


Thank you for the link. My preorder confirmation received by email say Deliver By 09/26/2012 and now I'm getting and Expected Ship date 09/26/2012 😢

I ordered "late", around 6am ET, on preorder day and was given the Oct. 5 date. I just checked my credit card and I have 2 hits from Apple. One says "address verification only" and the other is for $106.92.


Odd amount seeing as I ordered the 64GB with Applecare.


You ordered AppleCare+ with your phone and that charge went through immediately, while the charge for the phone will not hit your card until the phone is shipped.

Simpal, THANKS, you were spot on! Worked perfectly by using my "pre-order confirmation number" in the "reference number" field instead of my actual 5-digit "order number". It did not seem to be case sensative. Entering "MURDOCK" or "murdock" or "Murdock" all worked fine.


My status as of a few minutes ago is "We received your order and it is in process", and the "Expected Ship Date" is listed as 9/21/2012. Based on the previous two pre-orders I participated in, I interpret "Expected Ship Date" to be "Deliver By" as it said in my original confirmation email.


Of course the "Tracking Number" and "Courier" fields are still empty. In my case the courier will turn out to be UPS although FedEx will be delivering their fare share as well.


Thanks again.

I don't have an email with tracking, but tracked it on UPS with my phone number and it's on it's way! It has it's origin scan from Tennessee so it's just one state over from me. Hate having it so close, yet so far away.

Maybe I'm doing this wrong (or it isn't available for me yet), but I go to the main UPS page. I go to "Track by Reference". I leave "shipment type" on reference. In the "Shipment Reference" field I enter in my 10-digit phone number (the one I have on my shipping information). I then hit "Track".


At this point it is unable to be found. Are y'all doing the same thing? If that's the case I suppose I'll try later in the day =)


Thanks!!
