iPhone 3G S Orders Begin Shipment from Apple
Many customers who previously pre-ordered the iPhone 3G S are reporting that Apple has began dispatching emails stating that the orders have began shipment. By the UPS tracking numbers provided, it appears the handsets are coming from Shenzen China and will arrive at households no later than Friday, June 19th.
Orders made through AT&T are appearing as “In Progress” on customers’ order status pages and have been assigned tracking numbers via UPS, however they have not been shipped out yet. They are most likely coming from the same location and will arrive by this Friday. If you ordered on or after the following Saturday of the Monday release, orders may not be shipped out until after the 19th. Because AT&T sold out of iPhone 3G S pre-orders over this weekend, those that wish to purchase an iPhone will have to do so in-person at local Apple and AT&T locations.
Also, make sure you are present to sign for the delivery or contact Apple or UPS to sign in advance in allowing them to leave the device at your door. If not you’ll be waiting until Monday or have to drive to your local shipping bay to pickup your package. Not exactly something you’d like to do when anticipating this major release.
