My status finally caught up to 10/25/14 but my date is still 10/31/14 and hasnt changed for the past month.
I also received the tmobile bs email. If my phone isnt shipped by the 31st Im just going to cancel the order and get one on ebay.

Waiting game.
I ordered the iPhone 6 64GB through T-Mobile on Oct. 7 after checking with my local stores for about a couple of weeks. First, the "ship on or before" date was Oct. 17, then Oct. 27. I was notified about an hour or so ago that it was changed to Nov. 18! Is there any new news about supply issues? This wait is getting annoying.

My status changed again. I was told 7-10 days when I ordered in store on 9/30. Then I got an email that weekend that said on or before 11/11. Then last Saturday it changed to on or before 10/27. Then today it changed to on or before 11/11 again. I'm pretty livid. I know they're at the mercy of Apple's shipments but I can help but feel lied to and strung along. This is for a Silver 6, 64GB. I email John Legere again and asked for an upgrade to a 128GB. We'll see if anyone gets back to me.
Delays
That's an interesting hypothesis - anyone aware of chip delays?
Also, I've noticed on the T-Mobile User Generated Shipping Spreadsheet that a lot of the 6+ phones in Silver 64GB have no status update (mine included) a lot of Space Grey is moving but silver looks like it's at a standstill.
(If you have not already, add your shipment here)

My T-Mobile order as well changed from on or before 10-27, to now being on or before 11-1. This is rediculous, I ordered an iPhone 6 plus 128 gb silver. I don't think they know what the heck is going on. Fed up with all this bs. How can apple ship phones to other countries but can't fill the orders for people that oordered the phones first!!!!!! WTH
if I were to be ordering today I think I would order straight from apple..... my guess is they will stick to the 3 to 4 weeks.... the carriers are at their mercy apparently
so i got t mobile update email it still says 11/10 for one week it never changed either it really is 6 weeks or they are just full of crap i tired of of calling CSR cause they don't know anything and on top of that ERT will not email or call me back so idk what to do?
Something's Up With T-Mobile Anticipated Shipping Notices
Earlier I posted the following:
On Monday evening (Oct 20th) I ordered an iPhone 6 (4.7 inch) 128 GB Space Gray.
On Friday evening (Oct 24th) my card was charged. I paid for overnight delivery.
By Saturday morning (Oct 25th) I had shipping notifications in text and email. When I tracked the delivery, the package has already left Louisville and will be here (Orlando) on Monday.
Here's the clincher:
One hour ago I got this email:
Thank you for your iPhone order. We are awaiting more iPhone shipments from Apple and anticipate shipping your order number 215****** on or before 10/28/2014.
These phones have been incredibly popular around the world, and the entire industry is in a backorder situation. If our shipments from Apple change, then the timing of your expected ship date may also change. We'll let you know as soon as we have any new information. We'll also send weekly updates as we continue to process your order, including an exact shipping date and tracking number. Our goal is to keep you as up-to-date as we can as we continue to work toward getting your order shipped.
Please visit http://explore.t-mobile.com/order-status for order status and estimated delivery timelines.
Sincerely,
The T-Mobile Team
The UPS site notes that my package left Louisville at 4:24 am THIS MORNING. T-Mobile sent me a text four hours later with the tracking number!
SO. . .these automated shipping notifications may not, to say the least, be accurate.

you are just wasting your time calling ERT or whatever. they are sticking with the dates you are seeing on order status page.
i sent an email to john legere and the following day someone from executive team called. unfortunately they are sticking with my order status 11/4 nothing special...

This could help explain the lack of shipments?? (note it was written on Sept 17, so things have probably changed) http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2014/09/17/foxconn-struggles-to-meet-new-iphone-demand/
...but to think about 140,000 6+made daily, with 50% output= 70,000 successful plusses, divided amongst the 10million first weekend ordered= a lot of iPhone plusses! (granted, the 10 million is both regular and plus- but still...) and I think China doubled our pre-sales?
Well the timer is now started for me. As somebody who ordered on 10/5 and seeing people in mid September who still haven't received their phones, I'm going to switch to a Nexus 6 if it is available before they get my shipment. This seems increasingly likely, we shall see!
Moment of Truth
Well here we are, starting week six. The time has come to see if
this six week thing is real. It's weird how all the 9/12 people are
missing. Either they can't log in or they got their phones. Well
I'm in that next group the 9/19 group, either we will be banned
from logging in or we will have the truth about no one waiting
past six weeks. Can't wait til friday 10/31 dooms day.

Whatever happened to brutal honesty? Give me a number in line. Simple, affective. Not a flexible inaccurate date that is a shot in the dark. Let me know where I stand in line. I bet people would be more understanding. These sporadic deliveries out of order just aren't cutting it. I'm almost to the breaking point. Give me answers, not vague guesses!

It's funny I have a hard time finding the "Track your iPhone 6" tracker on T-Mobiles website now.

Because "line" itself here is a very flexible word. You have lines for each color + storage. Then you have jump/non jump lines. Then when shipments come in the phones need to be split up between the lines. If they were to do something like that chances are more people would end up outraged("I'm still #5939 in line, wtf t-mobile/apple!", "why is so in so ahead of me in line!?!?", etc). At least this way it's all done in estimates and we know not to expect anything firm. Sucks but I think this was the best way to go about it.
That being said, first thing Monday I'm switching my order to a 128 GB Gold +. lol
I would be ok with knowing I'm 53,030 in line for the 64 gb silver plus. At least I would know something rather than the crap they have been doing. I would be able to track how many are still ahead of me. I like definite answers, not ever moving generalized dates that may or may not be accurate.
Jump and non Jump orders aren't getting different priorities now.
Well my ship date was set for on or before 10/27. I got this today: We are awaiting more iPhone shipments from Apple, and anticipate shipping your order on or before 11/27/2014. If our shipments from Apple change, then the timing of your expected ship date may also change. This is rediiiiiiiiiiculous!!!
I trust nothing on tmobile site or people saying they have "credible" information. The shipment date is jumping from oct to dec on my end so I don't trust the site.

Mine went from October 28 to December and I ordered on sept 16
