Looks like I can't cancel my order now so I take that as a good sign! LOL

Update: Looks like it went to backorder when texting *6737 so I think it's getting ready to be shipped. Yay!

Just wanted to let people know I just got my shipped email and UPS tracking numbers from ATT.
My order was for 3 phones on a business account and the estimate was 12/4-12/11.

What model phones is the real question?
 
Well...a 256 SG just showed up at the Knoxville Apple store which is about 3 minutes away from me right now at work, so I cancelled AT&T the order I placed yesterday and ordered it. Pick it up in 90 minutes. I'm outta here until next year. Good luck y'all!

Edit: istocknow.com is your friend, btw.
 
Seems like I am not lucky this time around...

SG 256

Order date: 10/27/2017 at 8:31:32 a.m. ET
Estimated ship dates:
December 1, 2017 - December 15, 2017

Sounds like it might be from ATT Premiere?
 
Happy to see my Nov 2-10 friends are seeing movement. Anybody “in progress” for a SG 256GB in the Dec 1-15 window? I ordered @ 8:02AM 10/27. Already received a Silver 256GB yesterday but that’s my wife’s.

Mine just went to backorder when texting *6737#. With AT&T isn't that a sign it will ship soon? I think that happened when I ordered my 7+ a couple years ago.

Mine has been on backorder since Saturday and zero movement. Estimated ship date is Nov 20-27th. Att Premier customer.
 
So is this standard from GameStop? I also have 7+ with almost the same balance.
As long as it’s working with no physical damages you would. It would have been $400 but if you are their elite pro member you’ll get an additional 20% more, so $480. The membership is $30. So in actuality, $450 if you purchase their membership.
 
Ordered Silver 256 at 428 on 10/27... with delivery date on 11/3. It went into preparing to ship on 10/29 and there it sits.... I have spoken to nurmerous reps in different departments and have been told different things, it is an orphan order and will never ship (the rep ordered a new one and called me back to advise that it would ship within 2 days...then that order cancelled). Also told that it had shipped, but could’t provide a shipping number. I am now being told that it is on backorder, there weren’t enough to fulfill the orders, but it should ship in the next day or so. Another rep told me that my order was red flagged and I would have to go to the store to have them cancel and re-order and of course the store reps didn’t get any further than I did. I can’t pick up a phone that may be at local Apple store because this order is still in the preparing to ship status (for 9 days). This is pure craziness... I will never pre-order again.

Thanks for the info, friend!

[doublepost=1510114509][/doublepost]They really don’t seem to care - I just got off
The phone again with them to be told once again mine is back ordered and yet people with shipping dates down the road are getting their phones. Even if I were to have one in hand at the Apple Store - I could not buy it because this preorder CAN’T be cancelled because it is in the preparing to ship status.

thats good man. my brother was on backorder since like sunday. then just now it went to shipped. so you should be getting your phone soon
 
Interesting..the printed instructions I got with all three X’s said specifically do NOT include anything in the box except the old iPhone...no accessories, no SIM card, no packaging. Make sure the iPhone is wiped and Find My iPhone is turned off.

The instructions did say get a receipt from USPS.

You will probably get a text from them once they receive the iPhone. My advice is to keep that text!!! One year I got the “We got it” text, then 10 days later got a “We DIDN’T get it, and we’re charging you for the remaing Next balance” text. Wtf?!?

I went to the local AT&T store and showed them the ‘We got it” text. After making a few calls they credited my acccount for the full amount. Whew!!
I sent the phone back in its box with accessories,I traded in the 8 plus and I couldn't see just throwing it in the box with no protection as it might end up broken so I put it in its original box for protection,guess I should of kept the accessories.
