still impatiently waiting

new member here, just wanted to join in all the frustration since it appears I'm not the only one who feels a little screwed over by all this nonsense. also these forums have been a tremendous help, thank you to everyone.

ordered a 64gb SG 6+ via the apple store app (AT&T is my provider, unfortunately) on 9/12 around 5:00pm EST, expected delivery dates b/w oct 13 and oct 20, order still processing with no tracking number or any shipping information whatsoever. I realize that I was late in placing the order, but waking up at 5:30am for work doesn't exactly make staying up till 3am waiting for apples servers an easy task. not to mention waiting in line at a store is pretty much out of the question.

have tried pretty much all of the methods mentioned in forums all over the internet, hoping that maybe, just maybe, someone at apple forgot to send me an email and my phone is on the way, but it seems my efforts have failed

although I am not surprised by any of this, I can't help but feel a strong sense of frustration toward the fact that many people can simply wake up early, go to an apple store and get the exact phone that I ordered 11 days ago.

after calling apple directly, and after calling several stores in my area, AND after checking apples website for the past 48 straight hours, i have decided that waiting a month is my only option to get the phone that I want

if anyone has any information to offer regarding this, or if any of you (and i know many probably are) are in the same boat, please feel free to share. i will be on macrumors until the phone comes in and will gladly keep updating my status until then!

best of luck to everyone still impatiently waiting!:rolleyes:
 
I had ordered the IP6 64gb in Gold T-Mobile. I had the 7-10 business day so was looking at Oct 9-15 delivery.

I checked the local stores (Barton Creek Mall in Austin) and was able to just do a pickup order. It looks like they still have some IP6 64gb in Gold T-Mobile for those folks that live in Austin area.

Good luck.
 
What is your delivery date?



Mine has shown up on my profile, however its "stuck" in Korea with a 9/25 delivery date?

----------

I saw a couple of UPS flights will depart from Incheon soon... Hopefully they will get on one of those and deliver by 25.

looks like those flight came and went, without our phones :confused:

from reading through this forum, it sounds like its only the one UPS flight that leaves around 10-11pm from Incheon that Apple uses.
So guessing that I will have to wait until tomorrows flight, but that would definitely mean that its not going to be delivered on 9/25. Most likely looking at 9/29. (I'm In Philly)

Nah there's still 1 flight from Korea to Alaska (UPS99) not departed yet... Our last hope lol
 
I was one of the unlucky who pre-ordered with att and then got cancelled for some wack reason.

Then turned to Apple for pre-order with shipment with AT&T next. Successful. Saturday after launch day - my 6+ gold 64gb was available for pick up.. Cancelled my shipping order.. Only to come to find that you can not pre order with pick up with AT&T Next. Now I'm waiting for my shipment. Oct 21-28

That's what I meant.. ;)
I'm hearing getting one on AT&T Next in an Apple store is hit & miss. Some say they went in with a 2-year contract deal and had the Apple employee change it to Next successfully.
 
I managed to reserve a space grey 64 GB 6+ just then to pickup tomorrow so now I can cancel my online preorder. I'm a little too excited I think :p


Not sure how you are pulling this off because I can't seem to land a reservation from any of the 5 Apple Stores in my state.

Same here in So. California. None of them show available for pickup for any variation.

Also, I don't know how anyone placed an order within 1-1/2 hours of the Apple store "supposedly" going live. I tried for that long and I got the same message..."We'll be back" until I finally gave up at almost 2 am PDT. That's why I ordered @ 7:30 am and am stuck with Oct 13-20 delivery.

Speaking out of experience, you should've tried the Apple Store app.
 
Yes! Looks like I'm gonna be picking it up tomorrow morning.

Im still waiting for a 6 non-plus. 10/8-10/13 for me. I originally pre-ordered a plus with att (premiere) and got hosed on that sooooo..im the last in my office, everyone else has theirs. BS. Apple is churning out a million 6's a minute, just send mine out already lol.

I'll be around til I get it. sigh

nice. still waiting for my departure scan.

So Apple's initial prediction of the 25th for me was correct.

FU UPS for saying 22nd...no wait 23rd...no wait back to 22nd...sorry now its 23rd....actually 25th. Do you seriously not know your own logistics timeframes?

They apparently have absolutely no idea about it.... :p
 
Welp looks like my phone is still stuck on the other side of the world.

Same here I'm on the same spot as you the same delivery date and also the same last location for the phone... maybe it will start moving till tomorrow.
 
6 plus maybe?

I pre-ordered my 6+ 128gb on the 12th at 7:20 a.m. CST from Apple.com and was given an est. delivery date of Oct. 13-20th...

This is a new line addition to my ATT existing account, and two things I have just noticed today.

One is now on the order detail page at Apple I can see my new phone number, previously I could not.

Two, apple charged just the apple care + to my credit card yesterday... Does this mean it has shipped or is close to shipping?

Thanks!!
 
Oh well, always tomorrow

UPS still says it will be delivered by 12:00 noon today, it's 5pm. Called them and they said hasn't hit the distro center in the city I live it, so tomorrow. Oh well :) Had a second delivery going today, sent an electric wheelchair to an aunt on the other side of the country who needs it, hers got there on time, mine did not, the package that matters made it, mine can wait, not that important. ;)
 
Apple.com preorder thread - iPhone 6/6 Plus

Cancelled mine, gonna stick to the 6. Life is good!


I'm glad to hear that it worked out for you but I'll be passing on the 6 Minus as I need a man-sized phone to satisfy the mitts connected to my 6'2 frame. I will continue to patiently wait for my 6 Plus.
