If I ordered "pick up at store" instead of ship to my home, would I get it faster.. from the store's stock? Or does it just ship to a store and then I pick it up? I have been using istocknow and have not gotten any notifications for 6 pluses at the 5 stores I am monitoring. I am looking for the unlocked versions. Sprint is always available and sometimes a 16GB version on one of the other carriers. TIA.

It would already be at the store if it shows available for pick up. Unlocked versions are hardest to find at the moment you may want to be at your local store at opening and hope they have the one you want. And as far as the notifications they are not reliable you should check manually often.

When istocknow showed them available, you went on Apple.com to see if shown, and then ordered and paid on Apple.com for pickup at your store??

Yes. Works well.

not 6+ 128 SG for AT&T - Hasn't been any of those on idevicechecker.com yet

Ordered from apple.com 6+ 128 SG AT&T on 10/4 with estimated delivery time of 10/31 - 11/7 - paid $10 extra for whatever that's worth

I had a sg 128 plus using this method purchased on October 3rd but the stock comes in waves as far as color So now they are on a silver wave it seems but there was just 3 stores in my area on Saturday I believe with sg 128 pluses in stock but they were gone instantly..all ATT

I just checked istocknow, and they show 6 plus in silver 128 at 2 stores near me, ATT.. but I want device only. Is it possible to buy online or do I have to get to the store and hope to get one? I am an ATT customer but still in contract and have don't want to mess with the contract I am locked in to.
 
Finally preparing for shipment

Ordered on 9/28 T-Mobile no contract 128gb space gray plus

Feels weird seeing the order change haha another week or so to go

No if not T-Mobile I believe you must purchase for full price in store if you don't want to do a new contract no option to do it online.

Im soo Happy right now, went and cancled my att order from the 12th and order the 6 Plus Gold 64 GB From apple's Website and now my phone just arrived in my city, Philadelphia, PA.
 
Ordered 9/24 an iPhone 6+ 64GB AT&T. Arrived today!

She's beautiful! :)

Best of luck to all those waiting... she's worth it!
 
ordered 9/29

Unlocked SG128GB 6+

It finally went into preparing for shipment!!!!!!!!

Im just excited to track something hopefully soon.

How long to get a tracking number?

Most of the recent people to ship had tracking numbers within 24 hours of going preparing to ship. I think we'll get them at some point overnight tonight.

Can't wait to have a new page to obsessively refresh far more frequently than any sane person should!!!
 
I called Apple and asked if it was too late to upgrade to 2 Day shipping. The guy gave it to me for free, so my original delivery of Nov4-Nov11 has now become Oct31-Nov7!:cool:

nice!!! I upgraded to the 2 day shipping when I originally ordered, funny thing is they charged me immediately for the shipping ($10.86).

I read several times Now that all iPhones were expedited 2 day shipping. But that date only counts for when they claim its shipped. Still could sent in China for a week after the label is made. But once it leaves China maybe 2 days
 
This is my very first time ordering a phone online. I've had almost all the iPhones.
Is this normal? For those who ordered online previously during the pre-order, did it take this long? Never waited a month for a phone before. Lol

I ordered October 1. I don't think that it will be here on Halloween. Haha

Was my first time as well. well, from apple. I don't think i'll do it again.
I usually wait a few months after a release so i can get the pure unlocked version without hassle. Or just get the phone whenever.

wasnt a pleasant experience, and its not over yet (order just now preparing to ship).

mine still on preparing. so i can expect it any time now to goto shipped since we're on the same boat with everything.

When you go here
http://supportprofile.apple.com/

does it list the iphone 6 plus?
 
It does not list the iphone 6+ or my ipad air 2 the is preparing to ship. But it does my other apple products.

Should it?

I don't know. You do have a phone allocated and shipping to you, so you'd think it would be.

Many people early after pre release were using that site to see if their phone was shipping or not, because if it was it'd be listed.

Was just seeing if it would be.
