6S+ phones ordered through ATT.com, not apple or Apple app, what's your delivery date?

I ordered a 64GB RG + at 3:04:56 EDT on Sept 12th. I am disappointed that I won't get it today, but I would have been shocked if I did.

I share the frustration of anyone who isn't getting their phone today and ordered early, but if anyone was paying attention to what happened last year this shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone. Last year was a total fiasco with AT&T, people who ordered the same configuration I did days after me were getting their phones on launch day. I didn't get mine until weeks later. This happened to dozens of other members of this forum. People screamed that "Premier" people were getting their phones ahead of non premier people. I'm premier, so there goes that argument. Others were screaming that people with next were getting their phones first, but that didn't pan out in all cases either. I have no idea what the real problem is, but it does feel like AT&T is the worst carrier for order fulfillment even when it's isn't a preorder for a launch day phone. I stick with them because, unfortunately, they have the best service in my area. I would love to switch to Verizon or T-Mobile just to see if AT&T really is the worst at customer service as I currently believe they are.

This is my last year ordering through AT&T. As soon as my phone comes I'm calling them to pay off the ETF and I'm paying full price for my phones through Apple from now on. I'd rather pay a couple hundred extra each year than deal with ordering through them, or leasing a phone.

Tons of AT&T Stores in my area have 64 gb 6s pluses in stock but none have the color I want :( I was so tempted to get that silver 64 gb 6s+ at the one 5 mins from where I live but I N-E-E-D that rose gold. I've been wanting a pink iphone for the longest. Literally all my phone cases have been pink. And yes,I mean all of them. I'm a huge pink person, 85% of my closet is pink lol and I will finally have the phone to match

Been following muitple post/forums for days now, want to see if anyone with 2 yr grandfathered data plan went into store today and was able to get one. Not on Next or buy outright

I was able to buy one on a two-year contract without a problem. But the sales assistant had unlimited data himself and knew not to persuade me to change.

^^ 2 year contract, kept unlimited, 6s+ 64 SG

$399+tax out the door

They insisted I had to add lost/broken insurance for $10/month, but spoke with support, logged into my account, and removed it immediately.

Given going through AT&T and not 3rd party is the only way to do 2 years, wouldnt be overly surprised if come next year theres no options for going this route and/or keeping unlimited with an upgrade.

Are you serious?! I thought I was mad earlier. Now I'm even more so. I was told by a store manager that was literally impossible to do in-store.

There was literally no resistance from my store to do this. It sucks that there is so much variation from store to store with this.

I could have had my phone this morning. Now I probably have to wait a month to get it. I hate AT&T so much right now.

I'm curious about this policy too. I've heard mixed reports over whether they are allowed to do two year contracts in store. I'm going by one later to get a new SIM card and I'll ask what the policy is at my local store.
 
Wife's phone just arrived. Still have yet to get shipping info on mine. Both phones are 64gb Silver pluses. Ordered within 2 minutes of each other on 9/12.

i believe the main at&t company stores can do 2-yr contracts, but not the independent authorized retailers

btw, i ordered the 6s+ rose gold 64gb and still have not gotten any updates. let's hope we get them next week, all who are in the same boat!

The store I went to this morning is a "main" store. I just called another store in town and was also told it's impossible to do in-store.

Same thing happened to me when I put my mother on my family plan. I was told I needed to do it online only. If I wanted to add her in the store, or over the phone, it had to be via next. Total scam.
 
Finally got shipping info for my 128GB SG 6S+ that will be arriving Monday in Puerto Rico. ordered at 6:15am EDT on September 12.

It's a scam. Multiple times I have gone into the AT&T store, only to have service rep tell me that I can only do it over the phone. Only to have the phone rep tell me that it can only be done in-store. I return store then the big fat guy in the suit(manager) comes out and everything magically happens. Rinse and repeat for when I needed to cancel a NEXT Plan, dispute a charge on my cable bill, etc.

I cancelled my pre-order and went to the store. They had a 6s+ 128gb. I was in and out in 30 minutes.

I just did the same thing. Walked in to an AT&T store at noon and jokingly asked the guy if they had a 128GB Gold iPhone 6 Plus and wtf, they did. So they canceled my Online order with the "f.....g October 15 Shipping Date. I'm in Cloud 9 ready to plug this in to my iMac!!!
