Camping out - Page 5

I've been in that store a lot. Those guys have a lot of downtime and they all have iPhones. You think they'd be here brushing up on all the crap they're being left in the dark about...

I think the lines will still be long since people want them on release day.

I just talked to an Apple support rep who told me that pre-ordering the phone means it will be on your doorstep on the 19th.

Well, I won't be camping out after all. I pre-ordered a 32G Black at my AT&T store. They have been instructed to say that they cannot guarantee that my phone will be at the store for pickup on any specific date. They can't even say that they will actually have any for sale on the 19th.

When asked if it would be possible that they would have phones for sale but that mine would not be there for pickup they said, "I hope not because if so there will be a bunch of really pissed-off people". Yeah, no sh*t.

I guess I'll just wait for the email telling me that my card has been charged and the phone has been shipped. That will be the clue as to when it will arrive. They will be opening at 7am for pre-orders (if they have arrived), and 9am for customers.

I called AT&T yesterday and told them my situation which truley is:

I am leaving for a vacation on the 20th, ordered my phone online hoping it would be here the 19th, or 20th latest before I leave. My goal was to have it changed to an in-store pickup. The lady told me no one ever made a request like that before....ooookkkkkk. So she said let me research. After 5 minutes of hold I was told it is not possible. Once ordered online the only thing they can do is cancel the order. Otherwise it is shipped to the address provided online. And she assured me no iPhone's are shipped before the 19th. She also told me it takes 3-5 days and it is federal shipping so they leave it at your door if you are not there. I live in an apartment and can pretty much gaurentee its gone after 1 day. Normally I would cancel, but I ordered it through the BING deal.

I am going to try the online chat to see if they tell me I will have it on the 19th and call out this chick from the premier line that told me it wouldent.

I have never had anything come from Apple that did not require a signature, and cannot believe that they would change for the 3Gs.

Wouldn't this be shipping from AT&T though? Do you think this lady was just talking out of her u no wat

Yeah, I agree hat AT&T is clueless and you can't count on anything said at a store. However, neither AT&T or Apple would ship an iPhone without signature required.
