Quit scaring people. Everybody needs to call this number *6737# And you’ll see that most of the orders show up as backordered. This is normal.

Quick thought.

Those who have had a status change to backordered...

I hope you get your phones but I wonder if AT&T has been doing this to reprocess some orders that may have been completed before yours, but then cancelled inexplicably. It seems like there’s no rhyme or reason to who is getting this status update.

I’m sure they have a decent hard number on phones they will ship for launch day delivery.

Just a quick thought.
 
Kicking myself. Waiting all week to preorder early and got so busy at work I forgot. Didn't order until 3:45 pm est on Friday.
Shows ship date between 12/4 and 12/18
 
//For Deliveries That Say November 3rd

Just spoke to AT&T Premier, they said that there is no tracking information as of yet. The order is scheduled to be delivered by November 2, 2017 and the latest November 3rd. They also mentioned that they do not use UPS anymore, only FedEx. They informed me that we should be getting a tracking number/shipment notification by tomorrow.

With my experience, they don't know squat and just tell you what you want to hear to calm you down. Its a mess and there is no rhyme or reason...

The truth is usually somewhere in the middle. Oh did I quote someone with that? :)

Normally I would agree with you, if I hadn’t spoken to an account manager that I deal with on a daily basis.

I just know myself from pre-ordering many iterations of iphones from them, that they are shipped fedex next day air on Thursday. I don't remember if you would get a ATT notice if they print a label on Wednesday but if you are registered with Fedex, I remember getting one.
 
I ordered through Premier at 312AM. Sometime that day At&t canceled my order. Called premier back and bottom line was I had to place new order. New delivery date sometime in December. So I cancel order. Premier supervisor calls me today, unsolicited, and says she can override new shipping dates and give me my original one. So I place order again for a Silver 256 X with shipping dates 11/3-11/17.

Damn dude, I say I am busy at work and sometimes I am but I def wasn't gonna forget to wake up and order, nonetheless until 3:45PM! Good on you for being this busy, honestly - probably a good sign for your career.
