My story is very similar to many of yours. I woke up a few minutes before 3:00 a.m. EST planning to order through the Apple Store only to find out it was having issues opening to public on certain devices from what it seems. I quickly opened up a second tab and resorted to pre-ordering through AT&T while constantly refreshing the Apple Store. I watched the countdown on the AT&T website until it finally let me log in.. Once I got in, there was 0 lag, smooth as usual and I placed an order for my other line instantly thinking that the gold iPhones overall would backorder out much quicker than the Plus. Oh boy I was wrong. Successfully pre-ordered the iPhone 6 64 GB in Gold exactly like 2 minutes into the AT&T opening to public. As soon as that finished, I got kicked out of the website for whatever reason and spent like 3 to 5 minutes attempting to get in from multiple devices with no success, once I got in, I pre-ordered my iPhone 6 Plus 64 GB Space Gray with no problems. I had more issues getting into the website than navigating through the website.

Received confirmation email 6 hours later for both orders. The line with the iPhone 6 upgrade also received the confirmation text before I did. Of course that iPhone 6 is estimated to arrive this Friday as per the confirmation email and other sources (read below.) Off the bat my shipping estimate was within 10/13 to 10/21 range I believe and now it dropped to 10/2 to 10/13.

I'm also a UPS My Choice member and see the tracking number and estimated arrival of the iPhone 6 for this Friday but nothing for my iPhone 6 Plus. That package is coming from Memphis, TN. It's good to note that the AT&T website doesn't have the tracking number listed for the iPhone 6 yet either and both orders are still "Preparing to ship".

I was thinking of running my luck and going to my local AT&T store down the road early to see if they happen to have the iPhone 6 Plus in stock in general. 64 GB+ at least and Space Gray. If they do, I hope they're able to reverse my upgrade for my line alone and do the upgrade in store.

Meh, wishful thinking?

This what I plan on doing. Camping out at the att store Friday morning and see if they have the 6 plus. Hopefully they'll be able to cancel my online order and give me the one in the store.
 
So I'm on the phone with a att representative and she said that the iPhone plus won't ship out till early November wtf? And that's why my cc hasn't been charged yet.

When did you order? I would put very little stock in what the AT&T phone reps say at this time.

According to my local att store they can't cancel a order inside. You have to do it before you go in. I have no idea why though.
 
Went to the att store today and was told the morning of friday when the stores opened 6 pluses were back ordered 3-6 weeks. The rep sounded like she knew what she was talking about. I plan on going into a different store tomorrow and see what they say but from reading both threads, she's not far off at all. She did tell me that 6's are fine and if I wanted to pick one up friday I most likely could.

I want the plus because of the OIS. I got the girlfriend a 6 that we will be picking up at the apple store on friday morning, if they happen to have a 64gb or 128gb SG Plus, ill pick one up. What sucks is you cant cancel a ATT In store pre order AND i cant check the status of it till it ships, so i have the benefit of not knowing when its scheduled for. Gurrrrr. Oh well. I have 3 other lines that can be upgraded so ill upgrade one of those and gladly return this phone.

Anyone else who pre ordered in store?

2:00 CT and she didn't check my order status over the phone she said that they couldn't check online orders. My order conformation says delivery in 14-21 days so why is that she said the second week of November?
 
ordered mine 320 am on launch day on the AT&T site, 6+ 128 space gray

original delivery day was 10-31.....11-11

now Updated to 10-13 .... 10-22
 
I just saw this on another thread. I'm waiting to see when they ordered, if it was through Att and if they add a screen shot. Hope it's true. Wish it was mine.

A buddy of mine who ordered through Apple got updated shipping information this evening for his 6+. Seems his story is being confirmed.

9 to 5 Mac has reports of several users who ordered 6+ models shipping directly from China. Now this is referring to Apple orders, HOWEVER, some AT&T orders have shipped direct from China in the past as well....this could be good news for all of us awaiting launch day phones. I imagine we'll be getting some much more accurate updates over the next two days.
 
Ordered my 6+ about 11:55PT 128 space gray I just checked my order status I was moved up yesterday to expected delivery 10/13-10/22 Earlier today my Shipping status was listed as preparing to ship and it still is however my item status was pending shipment this has just changed to preparing to shipping but I still have the same expect ship date in October may mean something maybe not I'm still hopeful for Friday.
 
Order status also just updated from Pending to Preparing to Ship...a lot of changes today...hoping for more accuracy tomorrow.
 
My brother-in-law's 64GB SG was originally 11/09-11/27 has changed to 10/2-10/13. My 128GB SG is still 10/13-10/22 which was a push back from my original dates.

My 64GB SG that was originally 10/31 - 11/11 moved to 10/13 - 10/22 yesterday and hasn't moved since. Just goes to show you these dates are likely all wrong still.
 
I've been lurking on here since this thread started. (Thank you for making it 6+only)

One thing giving me hope at this point is the fact that as far as we know, nobody on AT&T that we know of is getting a 9/19 shipping date. I find it impossible that AT&T doesn't have any plus models for those who pre-ordered.

Maybe as stated by a previous post, AT&T will be shipping them directly from China??

Weird ... I ordered the same exact config at 1AM PST and my dates are ahead of yours. They were the same as yours when I ordered but changed to 10/2-10/13 yesterday.
 
Keep us all updated when/if your order status changes.

My date hasn't changed. It's been the same since Friday, oct 13-22, 6 plus 64gb gold ordered right at 2am CST. My order status has been "preparing to ship" since yesterday afternoon.

I keep hoping us early orders will have better news in the next day or so.

Plenty of AT&T folks are getting their + orders on Friday. Some have received shipping notifications.
 
I've been looking through the thread and wondered...

Everyone who pre-ordered the iPhone 6 Plus 128GB Space Gray... are all delivery dates stating 10/13-10/22?

Because mine does and I'm not sure if a lower date has been mentioned for it yet.

I ordered mine at 2:30am CST also.
