Also try your order number without the last two digits. Make sure you keep the W at the beginning.
A couple of more people showing tracking by reference working in the big Apple thread. Maybe their will be activity today.
7+ JB 256. Ordered thru Apple Store app. Email confirm 12:13am pacific. Est delivery Oct 4-10.
Spoke to Apple customer support yesterday for 20 mins. Asked about expedited shipping. Said its already being shipped at fasted speed. I asked about chances of my estimated delivery date being bumped up. She said "there is a very good chance you'll get your phone earlier than your est delivery dates. I pressed her for specifics. She said most likely Sept 25-29. She said there should be movement on shipping/del dates the night of the 16th and or the day of the 17th (as people buy at physical stores and cancel existing orders).

is that confirmation that there will be phones in Apple Stores on the 16th? If so I'll gladly line up rather than wait until 4th-10th!
scratch-gate is awesome...hopefully people will go cancel now.
Based on the Apple rep's explanation to me, I'd say you can comfortably infer that there will be 7+ JB's available in store on launch day.
It's probably just speculation. I doubt a random AppleCare rep has the knowledge or authority to comment on launch day in store stock levels
I am not so sure, they are giving the Apple Upgrade Program people their choice of phone out of walk in stock, and no one has been able to get a 7+ Jet Black on launch day.
It kinda bugs me though, since I really like keeping my phone looking as new as possible. I will be using a case with it too. Still love the colour... so no cancelling for me!
Bring on the scratchgate cancellations!
So it sounds like some people with late September dates may be getting their jet black 7+'s on launch day. If that's the case than I highly doubt I'll be getting mine on launch day with a 10/4 - 10/10 window
The problem with Apple customer support is that no one actually knows what they're talking about. It's not like they send bulletins to all the CSR's saying "hey, if their date is 10/4 - 10/10, they'll probably get it 9/25 - 9/29." They're just guessing, just like the rest of us here.

I agree. However, the Apple rep did confirm with me (bc I asked specifically) that in fact, there are some people who have launch day delivery dates on their 7+ JB orders. I told her I haven't heard of a single human in North America who has a launch day confirm for that model. She told me that she was at her desk as preorder went live and can confirm that there are people out there with 7+ JB launch day delivery confirms. I asked for their names and addresses....she drew the line there. I'm kidding on the last part, but this is exactly what she told me yesterday.It's probably just speculation.
