I hope this means that all iPhone shipments are going there to get on a plane to be Overnighted even though we have 2-day delivery selected.
Usually only if it has to travel in the air. I live in Plano, TX which is like 40 min from Fort Worth, TX so they throw that on a truck. I notice it's already at the sort facility in Dallas, TX.

Lets hope so. But highly doubt it.
Guess it is time to officially give up the hope of receiving my phone anytime soon.
I ordered the black 32gb through Premier on the 10th. New customer, porting a number in, etc. While the Premier order status page has the correct order date, the non-premier status page lists the order date as the 16th, and now on the morning of the 19th it still lists everything as "backordered".
I think this screenshot sums things up nicely (check the "passphrase"). Think they were trying to tell me something?

Well Memphis is a Major Hub for Fedex.....mine is there as well....I live in Washington State so my delivery is now going backward....
I'm in Washington too and my tracking info is exactly the same is yours!
Now here is my weird situation. I had some debit card fraud last week after placing my preorder and had to cancel my card on Monday of this week. Initially I had a preauthorization on my debit card which fell off on Wednesday, 2 days ago. I finally received my new debit card yesterday and called AT&T to try to get my card info updated so the real charge would go through without causing my order to be canceled. After being bounced around from department to department, finally talked to a Premier CSR who insisted they did not need my new card info as they already "had my money" since my phone was already being prepared to ship. This seems weird to me as I have no charge on my account and clearly, my debit card they have on file is no longer valid. Yet, my package shipped. Now... could it be that they really only shipped the SIM card like others are concerned about and this is why no charge has gone through yet for a lot of us? Or, what if that is indeed my phone sitting in Memphis right now - what will happen when they do try to put the charge through and it is declined???
I'm also pretty furious about this 2-day shipping mess because I specifically made sure I would get my phone tomorrow when I preordered as I'm flying out of town for ten days on Monday. I won't be home when FedEx tries to deliver and I have no idea what to do about that now.
I may be over analyzing this but Wow Fedex may have screwed up on mine if it was at the dest sort facility in Dallas and they accidentally sent it to Memphis well that flight has already left over 30 min ago so if they missed that nightly flight back I may not get it. Or it could be on that flight and their system is just delayed when the entry was placed on the log. haha hopefully its on that plane on it's way!
Premier is AT&T's business store for companies that have a discounted contract with them. But like dohspc said, it seems we aren't exactly a priority to them... so unless your company has an amazing discount, you might be better off just skipping it.

nope. it'll ship out regardless. part of the process. pretty stupid if you ask me.
i just checked mine. At least they corrected the weight to 2lbs once it arrived in Memphis.
Yeah I noticed that a few more line entries have been added. I think their system is delayed. One of their nightly flights from Memphis has landed so it could be here. OR more than likely is on this flight now http://flightaware.com/live/flight/FDX1401 who knows.

Like so many of you, I ordered from Premier on June 10th and my 3GS was shipped yesterday (6/18) via 2-Day UPS with a delivery date of the 22nd. I live in Corpus Christi, TX (which is about 7 hours south from DFW) -- I just checked my tracking and the truck departed San Marcos at 3:36am, which is about 3 hours north of me. I have hopes that my package will actually be delivered today. I've had many packages delivered by UPS earlier than stated on the tracking page. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Also, my purchased dropped from my debit card on Wednesday and has yet to reappear or actually charge to my account. I find this interesting. My guess is that AT&T will send these charges thru since they had gotten an initial pre-authorization on the charge, but it's not standard protocol to ship prior to charging.
HAPPY iDAY !!!

After ordering on the 10th, I finally got a tracking number yesterday and mine were shipped out of Fort Worth. The delivery date was the 22nd, so I had no hope for this weekend. There was no further tracking updates yesterday, but all of a sudden this morning they're now at a facility about 30 miles down the road from me. But the delivery date still shows for the 22nd. I'm hoping that their system just hasn't caught up, but it's usually pretty accurate.
Well since we're all suffering. Orange Julius is giving away free drinks with a coupon. It was on gizmodo yesterday. Sorry for the irrelevant post, but the irrelevancy is what's taking my mind from my rage i'm experiencing due to the poor business practices of ATT Premier. So the irrelevancy is therefor relevant. Man, I'm going crazy.
just found out mine is now at the main state sort facility in Greensboro, NC. hopefully it makes its way down to Wilmington sometime today or early tomorrow morning. i'm hoping i can give the local facility a call and see if i come pick it up in person. i know i'm going to be reading all the user reviews over the weekend and not having the phone in hand will drive me completely insane.
maybe i should just disconnect my internet over the weekend...

hey...thats the same flight I'm tracking. hoping that it's the correct one. seeing how when I checked the status of my order on the FedEx page, it shows that the package departed from Memphis, TN at 2:55am. and that's the closest time to that flight departure. and I'm in LA too (well L.A county).
My phone arrived to the "sorting destination" about 30 minutes away (and it got there about 15 minutes ago). I hate that it's probably going to just sit there all weekend.
Same here. I see it arrived in SBN at 7:02am. SBN is an hour from me. But, I will say this, I have had some situations with UPS where they arrived at sorting at 7am and have been on the truck the same day.
Also, I spoke to a friend formerly employed by FedEx and he told me if there was an item being delivered for Sat delivery in an area, he would often just drop other items that were not Sat delivery on Saturday if they were in the same town. Problem for me is, my package is scheduled to be delivered to my office, no deliveries on Saturday. One thing I like about UPS is you can call and change a delivery address when a package is en route.
I am going to be optimistic that my phone will be "out for delivery" soon.
I ordered on the 9th at 8am through Premier. Yesterday, the package went from Fort Worth to Memphis, and now it is local to me. I'm a lucky one. Yesterday, the shipping said it was one pound, but after Memphis it has been changed to 2 pounds.
You can compare this to my tracking slip post yesterday in this thread (I think on page 17?)
