Has anyone receive their iphone 3G through DIrect Fulfillment

[eljorge]

i think he means the order number on the order status website which seems to indicate how far back you are in line, not you order confirmation number you recieved in your email or on your reciept.

[spoonfull714]

Your order status number under your name on the web page. Mine is 21.

Oh well, I might as well list it.  Mine is ##,#79 and ##,#30.  When I look at the Order ID on my receipt, the number is there.

I had to look up mine by the 'Home/Work Contact Number' bit, using the number I gave them.

Shows ordered:1, back-ordered:1 for the phone and FRT.

Hmm. I wasn't told that it was back-ordered... I was told that it'd be "2-3 days".

[eljorge]

i wonder if the order numbers really indicate anything... do you think you were the 21st person to direct fulfill a phone spoonfull? maybe it goes by districts of from a specific warehouse. my number is in the 14,000s as well... and i ordered mine around noon on the 11th. if those numbers actually mean anything i guess i could be waiting a while. my iphone just went on backorder again anyway...

My order # is 1,2##. Right now it says that it is on backorder, but I hope its just because its Sunday and that tomorrow I'll get lucky...

Today I went into the ATT store after calling and being notified 3-4 weeks. I canceled my order, which had not charged yet, which also canceled the new number I had set up. The att guy then made a new number for me with no phone and I walked into the apple store, got a phone and walked out in 10 mins. NEVER go to a att store, apple is the best, they were handing out water, letting people(there were about 5 people in line) that they had enough for everyone. My phone is up and working and my direct fulfillment scam was stopped.

I almost wish I did not have an Employee, Business Discount on the line.  I would of rather had purchased it at the Apple store 1 hour away from my house.  I know I could of had them remove the discount.  That is something I did not know on Friday morning.  I just knew that if you had the discount then you needed to go to a corporate store.

[spoonfull714]

I don't know I was trying to figure that out. I was told I would probably get mine tomorrow, but since it's backordered I don't believe that anymore.

To look up mine from the website, I used the phone number I gave them when ordering and my zip code.  Trying to decipher the order number from the receipt is impossible.  On my receipt, it had PB640XXXXX for the order number. My order number was only 5 digits.

Thanks pal. I used my Home/Contact number (my current cell number) and the zip of the store. It says "In Progress". So basically, they've recieved my info but not much more.

[irichard18704]

You are welcome Super.  Any time :-)

This DF thing sounds like it turned out to be a big scam.  I'm glad I declined the DF offer at the first AT&T store I went to on the 11th, and "settled" for a white one at the next AT&T store I went to instead of holding out and ordering the black that I really wanted.

[eljorge]

if there really is a 3-4 week wait for DF i am gonne be very upset... the worst part is i have a feeling if i go into the at&t store tommorow to ask about my DF order they will tell me they can't tell me when they will get them... i can't stand at&t's policy of decieving their customers.

[The Sweet Love]

Ugh the guy at the AT&T store told me mine would be here by Thursday. Looks like I should cancel it because everyone on here says they are back ordered.

[mista_g713]

mine says its backordered and will ship in 2-3 days. i ordered it on the 12th.

[BladeLWS]

If mine is still on backorder in the AM I'm gonna see if I can cancel and pick one up tomorrow...

[tawfiqmp]

The only email I got was from AT&T notifying me that my order was there. But, I received that email after I picked up my iPhone, the AT&T rep who did the DF for me called me up.

[necronomikron]

I didn't even get a 'your order has been placed' email.

[ozee4208]

I was told it would be there monday...This is annoying

[ozee4208]

On my email it says 2-3 days from this morning (when i got the email) so i dont know whats up. I doubt that they are backordered, Apple has more than enough and are just holding out..

[tawfiqmp]

Hey guys, one thing to remember is you will most likely get your iPhone by the end of this upcoming week. I can tell that Apple is making a huge effort to get these orders in fast because of the fact that some of guys stood in line and so they will probably do their best to get in all the DF's before the end of next week.

[ozee4208]

tawfiqmp did you do "priority shipping" i ordered mine on the eleventh and I was wondering if you did. The sales rep told me it was a global line? but obiously not, my order said back ordered 2 -3 days

[Blindguardian]

Uh you can't cancel your preorder..good luck if you can..and tell me how you did it..

[ozee4208]

Ofcourse you can they cannot do anything to your money...

[ww4life]

I placed my order around 4 PM on 7/11.  At that time I was told that the only phone not backordered was the white 16 GB so that is what I ordered.

This weekend, the status showed backordered for the freight but not the phone and both lines said "in processing."

At 8:46 tonight, 7/13/08, I received my first email.  When I checked the status page again, the phone shows backordered now.  Both lines show backordered and "in processing." 

[Blindguardian]

I dont know ozee the customer service rep at the at&t store said "hey you know you can't cancel this preorder"..

[ozee4208]

ouch. This is the one thing i look forward to and it was shut down

[ozee4208]

Talk to a manager, the reps read it straight from the books.

[necronomikron]

I was explicitly told by one of the reps that I would be able to cancel at any time, if I get the iPhone early from another source (e.g. their store).

[Blindguardian]

Yeah ..I dont know..Maybe my customer rep at the At&T store is worried about his commision..If the site still says "Backordered" tommorrow, Tuesday, Ill try to cancel and just pick it up at the apple stores by me which will I heard get more in Monday morning!!
