I just called Best Buy. They said preorder customers will come first but they could not tell me the quantity of stock. We get a email on the day of pickup. If we don't receive a email on the 25th. Bring the receipt with you to the store. To verify order.
Ok so I got a call back from AT&T from Bethlehem PA. The gentleman was nice and said he looked into my case and said he thinks I will get it earlier than the 10/16-23 date but couldn't or wouldn't say if I would get my 6S+ on the 9/25 date.
So I guess I will just have to wait and see what happens.

Keep cancelling those preorders ladies and gents. I can just feel myself moving up the queue.
Spoke w/ UPS... AT&T is confirmed that THEY are shipping from the US, not China. so this is accurate!
Thats alright, according to best buy ill be happy walking out friday morning with a new 6s+
Hello, All! i posted this as a reply but I figured I should elaborate.
--side note, did you all see that girl that received her ROSE GOLD, yes rose gold, iphone 6S EARLY?...AND she ordered it from at&t? i'm salty
Anyways, I spoke with my UPS man and he said that AT&T is the only carrier that will ship the phones FROM the US. Meaning that they receive the phones and ship them out themselves rather than having them ship from the warehouse straight to our door. So AT&T probably has our phones at the moment and we are just patiently waiting for them to put them in the friggin mail!

I wrote an angry email to the President of AT&T last year over the pre order chaos (their system crashed and those who ordered a couple of minutes after midnight pacific were put to the side and processed way later in the morning because their system crashed and started processing other orders placed way after ours first who ordered at like 9am). I got a call not that long after from someone in "the presidents office," he was very nice to me, explained why others ordered later and had a much earlier ship date than me (what I just said system went down and processed other orders before mine). He explained they'd be investigating to see exactly what wrong (but sounded like there was way more demand than expected, more than their system could handle) and to ensure it never happens again.
To think of it I got nothing in return (couldn't push up my ship date, was told "he couldn't" when I asked for a bill credit for the inconvenience) I ultimately cancelled my pre order in an AT&T line when I knew I was getting a phone there.
It did make me feel good that he seemed to care enough to explain what went wrong and my opinions as a customer to make the iphone process easier every year. I said customer service and communication was a nightmare. I said it seemed like people would customer service, get 2 different answers, a lot of the time people were told "you'll get your phone launch day" because they were uninformed or didn't want to be the "bad guy" or yelled at. He said they'd look into that. I asked why I read the Verizon thread and their customers had tracking numbers already and people with launch day ship dates didn't or had to look up their tracking number via UPS or Fedex because AT&T didn't give it to them? Again, he said he'd have to look into that.
You don't say!
To answer your questions: YES, we knew. It's been posted in this thread a few times, and elsewhere in the forum as well. She got her phone early. We know.
And yes, we know that AT&T ships from the US as well. It's all in this thread and not that far back--on both counts.
But thank you.
If we don't get a shipping notification by Wednesday. We won't get 6s+ on the 25th from AT&T.
Not entirely true. The phones are shipped with overnight delivery, so you'd probably receive a tracking number sometime on Thursday.
I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but I'm too lazy to go read 56 pages of posts.
I'm signed up for MyUPS. It notifies me when a shipment is created going to my address.

These next two days are going to be VERY interesting for the 6+ folks to say the least LOL!
I preordered the 6s 128 RG phone and I still have estimated delivery of the 25th
6s isn't the problem whatsoever...All of us waiting and mad all preordered the 6s+. iPhone 6s are coming out on time luckily for you
That takes more time it's faster to check email and go to the tracking number directly
Watch next year there will be an abundance of the 7Plus and the 7 will be the one with the delayed dates ;-)
