Now that you mention the Chinese holiday, doesn't this happen every year??
I think I remember hearing something about production slowing down two years ago when I bought my 6 and it was taking forever to get here (not nearly as long as this ******** preorder though.)
Why does Apple tend to release phones during a time frame that will include a Chinese holiday knowing all their phones are made there?? Lol, move that **** behind or ahead to not interfere with these us getting our phones!
Lol

Lol, I agree! The holiday lasts an entire week! I think also there are a lot more 7+ orders this time around than there ever have been before and Apple got caught with their pants down. Then you throw in the manufacturing problem of the JB only having a 70% yield and boom! You've got a lot of pissed off people wondering where their phones are lol. o_O

Mine got shipped last week on Thursday, with a expected delivery off 17. October(insane), is it because I ordered a leather case alongside tha phone that they manage to take 2 and 1/2 week? It still haven't arrived, so idk, this is so frustrating... is this just a mistake in their mail and support page, or are they just effing slow???
 
Still no movement here. 10/18-31.

Best Buy has a 256GB Matte Black 7+ ATT listed online for shipping within 1 day. Jet black says Backordered:Ships 3-4 Weeks.
[doublepost=1475858292][/doublepost]Yep. **** this preorder. Got a Matte Black 256 7+ Unlocked, a portable charger, Applecare, w/ 12mo no Interest coming from Best Buy on Tuesday 10/11.

I just wonder who or what is deciding how they are shipping these phones out? It's just so confusing & frustrating!

Do you have a screenshot showing that your date was 11/11? That's awesome if you're not screwing with us. Don't play with my heart!! I have the same ship date and nothing on my end yet.

Attached the initial order confirmation received from Apple at 3:30 am ET on 9/9 showing a November ship date. Later on apple.com the order status stated 11/11 as my estimated date.

I would but BB is charging $100 over standard retail price... I'm paying enough already LOL ;)

Wait, why is bestbuy charging $100 over retail price?

Edit -

Just remembered that they make commission on new line activations and upgrades so that clarifies things :)

31 days after staying up all night to preorder & my order is still processing.......

Same here... I'm curious how many of us who ordered in the first 30 minutes of preorder madness are still processing? It seems that most have already received their phones.

I know & I don't understand why it's taking so long! I ordered within 14 minutes of the preorder opening in California & I'm still processing? I will never preorder again. I think I'll wait 10 days & then order or just go to Target, Best Buy or Walmart!

I ordered 24 minutes after opening. I'll never preorder from Apple again for sure. I've been checking every day at my local Apple Store for a JB or MB 7+ and there is still nothing. At least not for at&t or T-Mobile. All they have right now are rose gold.

I've been looking seriously for a solid week now & I haven't found any 7+'s in jet black or matte black available. I truly believe Apple has lost my order or maybe it will just show up at my house one day out of the blue!
