I thought if you were premier it was the one that said "ATT: thank you for your order" as the subject. I never got anything with a subject you mentioned....but wouldn't be surprised if the F'd that up for everyone too
Got a tip for us?

What goes around comes around. They made it a pain in the ass for us... we'll do the same for them. Plus, it doesn't even matter since it's their job to do this type of stuff for the customer.
Maybe it is, because I'm not Premier and I haven't gotten an email with the subject of what you just mentioned.
I hate all of you Premier members who pre-ordered way after I did but have already gotten their iPhones.Seriously though, congratulations! I wish I were one of you!
Don't forget we also get our plans discounted. I get 50%!!!! LOL
I got two different emails later in the morning. The first was from AT&T premier called "AT&T: Thank You for Your Order" at 4:36AM.
The second was from ATT order status called "Your recent ATT order status" at 8:10AM.
I would like to think my order is linked with the 4:36AM time, but could it be 8:10AM?
I am premier and have received the following emails:
1st: 9/12 at 2:04 AM CST "Thank you for your order"
2nd: 9/12 at 5:52 AM CST "Your Recent Order Status"
3rd: 9/18 at 7:58 AM CST - Second - "Your Recent Order Status"
4th: 9/21 at 5:07 PM CST "Information about your AT&T Plan" This one referenced my new plan - so it seems that this one indicates my order has been tied to a new plan. Whatever that means.
But no tracking information and my order is "Preparing to Ship" with a shipping window of 10/2 - 10/13.
I ordered a Silver 6 + 128 GB
I believe this is correct. I ordered my 6+ at 11:56 pm PST 9/11/14 and I'm still waiting for phone.
It's none of that. It's the AT&T iPhone lottery... My order and confirmation were before people who got the same phone as me. None of it matters.
Actually, I'm surprised and profoundly disappointed that AT&T was caught unprepared...
Certainly past history of iPhone mania is an indicator of how things will go in the future. AT&T knows how things went down with the releases of iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 5S...
They had plenty of time to plan for this...resources in terms of thousands of people and ungodly gobs of millions-of-frickin-dolllars to spend to upgrade -- to improve their online system.
Why should they have failed so utterly this time around? Just because Apple released two new models of iPhone? For the most part, Verizon seems to have weathered the storm and been better prepared to handle the onslaught of pre-orders for iPhone 6.
AT&T was an epic fail on Sept 12 2014.

More reasons to hate you
When was you order processed? Your order and conformation has nothing to do with you getting it before people..
----------
But we have to remember. None of the other launches had 2 models(6,6+) 3 colors and 3 storage options..That is 18 different configurations of one launch. This has in fact never happened before.
5C, 5S, 3 color options for 5S, 5 color options for 5C, 3 storage options for each.
What happened this time is that there were 2 flagship models, one with the larger screen that supposedly many people wanted.

What's you code for that discount? Lol. I'm getting 17% off my bill
I had a similar experience during iPhone 5. However, I had chalked it up as a hiccup because we were upgrading two lines and combining the bills from my wife and I into one bill. Lesson learned... Apple preordering from now on... If I don't switch to other carrier before then. ***** AT&T
Exactly. So far, I have not seen a single person who has confirmed that they aren't premier and received their iPhone 6 Plus pre-order from AT&T.
Indeed. I think AT&T was just overwhelmed. But instead of just admitting it and telling us what they are doing to get our orders shipped they leave it to their CSR's to deal with us and those guys probably just started making crap up. I know I would if I was in that situation. Whatever it took to get you off the phone after I'd just told you I don't have any further information and you kept asking more questions, I'd do.
"Your phone is still in pre-order shipment fulfillment expedited shipping status with confirmed 2-ply corrugated premium tracking. Is there anything else I can help you with? Thank you for choosing AT&T."
None of them know except the clowns with two secretaries and 4 months paid vacation every year. And even those guys can't really do anything about it.
Meanwhile, I sit here drunk and sad and checking my delivery status every 26 seconds. And drunk.
I started a non-premier thread.

All the posts here that have gotten tracking numbers or actually received their iPhones are premier. Feel free to point out the non-premier... because I haven't seen one in about 50 pages.
A lot of folks (including myself) probably didn't realize there would be a difference in processing, thus posting in both threads. Once this one started moving faster with more up to date info, folks just stuck around.
I don't think the color of the cancel order button matters. Plenty of people cancelled their orders and received an email afterward that said att was unable to cancel. They received a shipping notice a day or two after that.
Seriously tired
I am seriously tired of sitting and spinning here waiting for bread crumbs. Just give me a definite date, even if it really is Oct 2nd, just give me some thing already!!!!

I am a Premier member:
I agree with several earlier posts that the delivery sequence is most likely taken from when your order was accepted or put in the system. I ordered my 6+ SG 128gb iphone at 12:10 PST, but I didn't receive my confirmation email until 6:26. Also in the "Thank you for your order" email my estimated ship time for my phone was 35-42 days.
Anyway, I am now at the Oct.02/13 expected ship date. But I will most likely receive my phone much closer to that Oct date than others earlier confirmation email.
I am in the Phoenix area and will jump ship to Verizon if the phone presents itself at an Apple store before mine ships.

Still nothing here. Been on preparing to ship, October 2-13, pre-order processing and backordered since last Saturday. Gold 6+ 128 G. Feeling pretty low right now.
