2-4 week delay on iphone from online store

I ordered an iphone from the online store on Friday and my receipt states "Will ship in 2-4 weeks" Does anyone know why there is such a delay. Reports indicate that iphones are still available at regular apple stores.
Thanks

Hi jgasman;
I didn't like the looks of the line at the Apple Store on Friday so I went home and ordered online. In the morning I got the order confirmation and 2 to 3 weeks to ship.
I like that even less. So I went back to the Apple Store when they open on Saturday. The were more clerks then customers. I walk to the back of the store and said iPhone to lady behind the counter. she replied 4 or 8 GB. I said 8 and she gave me my iPhone.
I then went home and canceled the online order and proceeded to activate and download. So far my major problem is getting use to my large hands and the little screen. I find that I am forever using to much force. It is a learning thing to just barely touch it and then it work correctly.

  • Buy iPhones from online-store

    Hi. I bought 2 iPhones 4S for me and my girl. This orders OK.
    Now, I want to buy 2 iPhones 4S  more for my friends from my account.
    I made orders from online-store 21 and 28 of November.
    The order 21 of November was paid, but iPhone still not shipped. When it will be sent to me?
    The order 28 of November contain iPhone 4S and cover for it. I paid for this order, but Money withdrawn from a credit card only for cover.
    Why money didn't withdraw for iPhone 4S? What is trouble? What I need to do?
    < Edited by Host >

    It turns out, what if the order from November, 21st is paid, I need to wait for delivery simply?
    Yes!
    And by request from November, 28th for which money yet hasn't removed to learn in bank?
    Yes!
    As soon as they ship, you suppose to receive email with tracking info as well. If you provided your friends email, you can ask him to track it for you. Or if you see the tracking info on your apple.com/orderstatus, you can do it yourself as well. Enjoy your iPhone!

  • If I want to buy an iphone from online store, do I have to make contract with veryzon or at

    It`s because I am not living in the USA but costa rica and I dont wanna make contract from any american company... can anyone help me plz??

    ALL U.S. iphones are carrier locked and CANNOT be activated on any other network in any other country at all.
    Do not waste your money.

  • I bought yesterday online an Iphone from apple store Canada and there said that was Unlocked but on my email came a message " IPHONE 4S BLACK 16GB GSM- CAN". Does It means that this item is Unlocked?

    I bought yesterday online an Iphone from apple store Canada (http://store.apple.com/ca/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone/iphone4s) and there said that was Unlocked but on my email came a message " IPHONE 4S BLACK 16GB GSM- CAN". Does It means that this item is Unlocked?
    Was shipped today, October 8, but I don't know if this "GSM-CAN" means taht is locked or unlocked!
    I BOUGHT AN UNLOCKED! 

    "GSM-CAN" means that it was a GSM iPhone sold in Canada. It doesn't indicate anything regarding lock status. If you purchased the iPhone from the online Apple Store, then to the best of my knowledge, they don't sell anything other than unlocked iPhones.
    Regards.

  • HT201328 Hey, i bought an iphone from online shop and its locked by orange france, i contact them to unlock it but they refused, they said that we regret to inform you that we'r not able to unlock second hand phones? I need your help please.

    Hey, i bought an iphone from online shop as a used phone and its locked by orange france, i contact them to unlock it but they refused, they said that we regret to inform you that we'r not able to unlock second hand phones? I need your help please. Its not fair , apple should figure it out
    Regards,
    Orange

    This is no different with any carrier locked phone. Getting a carrier locked phone officially unlocked is the responsibility of the carrier, not the cell phone manufacturer. A cell phone manufacture cannot unlock a carrier locked phone without the carrier's authorization.
    An iPhone sold as officially unlocked when new can be used by others as a second hand phone, and the same with any carrier locked iPhone that can be unlocked by the carrier, and many carriers offer it.

  • Anyone can help me fixed my iphone as I am living in Thailand and bought Iphone from apple store website but there is not any way i can contact apple staff through website! and direct phone!

    I just bought new iphone from apple store from few weeks only but now i cant even make a phoen call and everytime i try to open "phone" function, it just error and stop on that page without any response.
    So i tried to close that app and re open it but it doesnot woek i couldnt do anything means i have phone but cant use it as phone.
    And i couldnt even contact apple staff through internet and phone call.
    I need to talk with apple as i didnt bought it from dealer in Thailand so i cant take it to dealer service center, apple, please support me in this case urgently.
    Thank you.

    Basics from the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, and finally restore as New.  I suggest you try ALL of these steps if your phone continues to have problems.
    If after ALL 4 steps your phone still doesn't work, you've no choice but to have your phone serviced by Apple.  As you've found out, the iPhone warranty is NOT and has NEVER been international.  You'll have to send your phone to someone in the country of purchase to bring your phone into Apple--and then to have that person send the phone back to you.

  • I swapped my iphone from apple store india and my imei of iphone changed and i have lost the box and bill of phone , how can i get my old imei number.

    I swapped my iphone from apple store india and my imei of iphone changed and i have lost the box and bill of phone , how can i get my old imei number.

    Of course it changed. A phone's IMEI number is unique to each phone. The IMEI number for a phone does not transfer to another phone.
    Since your iPhone was exchanged under warranty without having the box and bill for the original purchase, you don't need it now either. The exchange under warranty remains under the warranty for the original purchase.

  • Buy iPhone from Apple Store

    iPhone3G is now available direct from Apple Store in HongKong. Will Apple ship to anywhere outside Hong Kong, even if the buyer pays for the shipping charges? Has anyone ordered an iPhone from Apple Store Hong Kong?

    I think this is doubtful.
    I don't believe Apple ships iPhones outside of any country where it is sold, regardless if sold as unlocked in a particular country. AFAIK, the iPhone sold in each country must be purchased at an Apple Store if there is one available, or via Apple's designed provider or approved sales outlet in each country.

    Guam<--(United States Terretories) Not able to purchase digital copy from online store? Why?  especially developers program. is their anyway to get service directly from Main Land rather than going to other countries' or 3rd party resellers' to get products?

    This is a user to user forum, sorry we would have no idea. I'd suggest you contact Apple directly. The number for customer relations in the US  is 800-767-2775, I have no idea that number will work in Guam or not.

  • I plan to buy an iphone 6 from New York. I am from India and shall be using the phone in India. Is it possible to get an unlocked iphone from the store? If yes, how much would it cost?

    I plan to buy an iphone 6 from New York. I am from India and shall be using the phone in India. Is it possible to get an unlocked iphone from the store? If yes, how much would it cost?

    It is going to be months before any unlocked iPhone 6s will be available.
    Also be aware that the iPhone purchased in the USA will only have warranty service in the USA. Any warranty service will require you to bring it back to USA.

  • I got an iphone from apple store US and am located in egypt , the device has hardware issues and need swap as stated by apple stor belfast when i was in ireland but they cannot swap it in EU as it is purchased from US , please advice

    I got an iphone from apple store US and am located in egypt , the device has hardware issues and need swap as stated by apple stor belfast when i was in ireland but they cannot swap it in EU as it is purchased from US , please advice how i can get this swapped without any extra cost on me , this is really frustrating

    The warranty is valid in the original country of purchase:
    http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/iphone-english.html
    Note:
    IMPORTANT RESTRICTION
    Apple may restrict warranty service to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the Apple Product.
    You will either need to find a local repair shop and pay for it. Or you will need to ship the phone to someone you know in the US and have them take it to Apple for evaluation and then have it shipped back to you. All this will be at your expense. Also note that Apple do not accept direct shipments.
