I was told the same by a Warehouse Shipping manager who is dating my sister this morning. The accepted terms are the time stamp on your contract. This is at the bottom of the PDF that was sent by Premier in email. My time stamp is at 9:30am. I ordered at 3:04 am Eastern. So the moral of the story is Premier customers were not first come first served. ATT set the original batch of accepted Premier orders to 14-21 day delivery. However, ATT has reallocated its preorder shipments to lower in store stock and increase the amount available for preorders. With this reallocation it evened the playing field to make your order time less important as long as you ordered within the first 12 hours for the plus. The reallocated stock are not yet all in place, that will continue to occur throughout the day.
He estimated 75% of the early preorders for the iPhone 6 plus would be filled between Friday and Tuesday and 100% ordered within the first 48 hours within the next 14 days if the Apple supply stays it's course. He believes 90% or higher will be fulfilled this weekend for the Iphone 6.
He also stated that a large portion of the Premier Iphone 6 Plus tracking numbers would arrive Thursday night into Friday morning. There are many phones that have shipped without a delivered tracking number, the ATT system is delayed in many cases at least 24 hours due to high volumes.
This is very much a fluid situation that is still playing out behind the scenes. Don't give up hope yet!!! He has been working 15 to 18 hour shifts, this is an around the clock operation with good cooperation between ATT, Apple and the shipping carriers. He said it has been a lot of work but cool to be a part of.
