I haven't been optimistic all day, but I checked Flight Aware earlier and 5 UPS planes from Anchorage are landing in Louisville between 12:20amEDT & 1:27amEDT. Hopefully our luck will change! ...but considering how premier has been shunned if these planes are full of 6+'s they're probably nout our phones... :(

I'm not 100% certain but I think AT&T uses FedEx for their shipments. UPS shipments have been from Apple.

Yep. All my iPhones from AT&T have been delivered via FedEx.

:(

Sadly, I guess i was right about one thing, 5 planes full of phones that aren't ours.

I don''t think FedEx or or any air carrier, given the time frame I think AT&T put all of 6+'s on a cargo ship. :p

All kidding aside what is the route they fly in using FedEx? To Anchorage as well, transfer then down to Memphis?
 
Good to know. Does Fedex use your mobile number as a reference?
It depends on the shipper. When checking my 6 shipment, the reference isn't something I see correlating to telephone or either order number (premier nor online). Really a bummer since I'm with everyone else- no clue on 6+ order.
 
Not sure if this currently means anything but when I try to check my premier order status it's blank? :confused:
 
AT&T can go screw themselves. :) Last preorder through them. I just couldn't get into the apple website/app.. oh well. Will probably be canceling this order sometime later today and try getting a phone in store, if even possible..
 
Omg I can't sleep knowing I'm not going to get my iPhone today. It's 3:10am eastern, and I'm thinking about sueing att over losing sleep. Just kidding I work a second shift, and this is my normal bed time. I'm still upset regardless, but after closer of not getting my phone tomorrow I'll feel better haha.

iPhone + 16GB Silver ordered 3:15am eastern on the 12th, received premier confirmation at 6:47am eastern. Att order status has gone from 10/31-11/11, 10/13-10/22, and now to 10/03-10-13. Been following this fourm, and a lot of us are in the same boat so we more than likely will be arriving at the same time.

I ordered via AT&T Premier and my phone is coming by UPS. Also, I have a UPS account and even though the shipping label was printed by AT&T several days ago, it never showed up in my UPS MyChoice tracking calender. In fact, it's still not there, even though the phone is already at my local hub and ready to be delivered tomorrow, based on the tracking number that AT&T emailed me.

I guess my point is that trying to find your tracking number via UPS and FedEx account shortcuts (tracking managers, reference numbers, etc.) doesn't work 100% of the time.

Since most people in this thread are waiting on the Plus, I'm guessing it has more to do with limited stock being allocated by Apple than it does with your AT&T preorder.
 
Unless something magical happens today (6:19 EST), I am just thinking: 'People who ordered their phone *after* me are getting them. That is ******* ********!'

Talk about fairness and first come first serve. The AT&T Premier customers don't expect their phones on day 1? Is that what AT&T thinks?
 
One thing I've learned over the years is that there is a wide spectrum of service levels within Premier. Major corp accounts are definitely treated different than smaller ones.

We always get a large allotment of day one phones, we're still rolling with the glorious unlimited international data plans, and (so I've heard ;-) ) we aren't bothered with pesky notices about JB tethering.
 
For those of us in the dreaded 10/2-10/13 timeline, do we have any delusions of grandeur at this point that the order will be filled before then? At this point I'm thinking it will be after that time!
 
AT&T is simply a ****ing joke. We should all cancel our service and have another carrier pay our cancellation fee... If only my firm didn't have a contract with this ****** company!

I feel the same way. Totally unacceptable.
 
At this point I guess I'm going to give up hope of getting my 6+ in September, although I ordered at 3:07am Eastern time on preorder morning. I have no new updates, (aside from confirmation email) and 2 text messages.
 
Oh what a disappointing morning. I think I shall avoid the internet of postings today of happy people with iphone 6 pluses in their hands.

I'm hoping that we still at least get them by 10/3. I'm holding out until next Friday and will cancel and try my luck at the apple store.

Same exact situation.
 
Sad day...

Well, I too am getting the short end of the stick with this launch.
Both my wife and I's 6+ 64GB SV are no where to be found.

I stayed up on 9/12 and got one order in at 1:56 CDT (the pdf has 6:56 UTC) and the other is 2:04 CDT (7:04 UTC)

Received instant order confirmation emails, and on one line I received an order status update at 2:59 AM CDT stating my order would not ship until 10/2 - 10/13.

At 5:51 AM CDT the second email for the other line came in, this time with a 10/13 - 10/22 ship date.

Since then, the 10/13-10/22 has moved up to the 10/2 window.
I totally understand the demand is high and supplies are limited. What irritates me is that people who ordered after me are getting their phones today. Additionally, if I had just ordered with Apple or left ATT for Verizon, I would have my phone today.

AT&T, you've completely let down this decade long user and it will be something I think about the next time I am evaluating keeping my business with your organization.

I'm hoping the system is just delayed and our phones will come in today, but I'm not holding my breath.
At least I can hold my case, I ordered that through Apple's iPad app and it showed up yesterday...

Right there with you. Same delivery windows for 128 6+ Gold ordered at 2:55 EDT, email confirmation 3 EDT. I have my Spigen case waiting here and my Clear Coat is on it's way. I'm figuring I'll be waiting until October.
