Question

So here's a question, has anyone, on any thread, on any carrier, received a tracking number or ship date of 9/19 for any 6Plus? (besides apple store)

64GB Slvr +, 430EST, Oct 13-21, 5035-11142*****

Indeed. Although it's quite a coincidence that both chats are with an agent named "Marissa". With as many agents as they must have working, it's odd that the only two chats verifying 9/19 shipping for the 6+ are from the same agent?

Got a creepy vibe from that. AT&T clones working the lines like zombies. LOL!
 
Even though I've got a preordered in, when I check my upgrade eligibility, it's say I can still upgrade through Next or with a new 2year contact. I ordered through the Next Program a 128gb plus in silver about 10 minutes after midnight PDT and my delivery date is 10/2-10/13.

Shouldn't it say my upgrade is no longer available? I'd like to try buying one at an Apple Store on Friday without canceling my pre-order first. It doesn't seem like I should be able to, but I don't see anything preventng me from doing so.

That is odd. Just from my personal experience, my eligibility disappeared as soon as my first set of shipping dates became available. I'd call just to be sure. The only thing worse than what we're already going through is to waste hours in line. I plan to wait until the veryyyy last minute Thursday to see what's going on with shipping and if there's no improvement, I'll camp out and hope for the best.

Also, I meant to ask, has anyone in the past gotten an iPhone on launch date that didn't have shipping info about 2 days before? Like it said something else until it came to your door? I just want to know the right time to give up hope :D:D
 
Woke up this morning and noticed two $1.00 charges and two Charges equal to the amount of the next upgrade.

Not sure what this means, I ordered two iPhone 6+ before the 12PST launch, with email confirmation as proof.

64 gb 1 gold 1 silver. Yes through AT&T, Yes Premier
 
Lurking for days.

I ordered 6+ 64gb SG. Att premiere site. 2:40am central time. Order 1019. Est ship 10/13-10/20

I got my confirmation emails immediately. Saw the charges hit the bank account, pending. Was pretty confident 9/19 was still a possibility. On Sunday the ship estimate changed to processing then back to the 10/13 dates. This morning my pending charges have disappeared. Losing hope for 9/19. I'm holding out today, but then I will move on with my life. Time will pass quicker that way.

Yeah I have no hope for 9/19 either. My order went through about 35 minutes before you, but I didn't get my confirmation until 3pm. Something really messed up here.

No, my order status has been 'Preparing to Ship' with a date of Oct 2-13 since like Saturday night. This wait is tiresome.
 
Woke up around 4am and checked my bank, both charges had dropped off which I expected. Just went back on for the hell of it and my catd was just charged again for the two phones which means it's happening. Ignore what the website is telling you and just stay positive!

See my post above! Same exact thing happened. Maybe good news?...hopefully

Absolutely. Initially they charge the card as ore authorization. It's federal law that you can't be charged for something until it ships (this doesn't include the initial pre auth). If our ship dates were really as far out as their website claims, we wouldn't have just gotten charged again. We're good!
 
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.

Exact same thing I ordered around the exact same time, and mine is 10/13 - 10/22 w/ no info on UPS or FedEx yet. ATT site still shows "preorder processing."
 
SG 128 0:59PST

Why does my order number begin with 1912 unlike the other typical order numbers? I am showing 10/2-10/13 ship dates.
 
Long time lurker... Charge hit my card as well. Plus I got an email from AT&T Premier this morning again telling me how to check the status of my order.

My order # also begins with 1912 - 64gb SG 6+ ordered at 3:05 EDT. My status is preparing to ship with expected dates of October 2-13. Received confirmation e-mail 5 minutes after order and congratulations text next day. Funds are still pending on my credit card and I can find nothing in UPS or FedEx. There is no rhyme or reason that I can see.

Can you provide a citation for the bolded claim above? It seems unlikely to be true since PayPal transactions charge the entire amount of the purchase (not a pre-authorization) to your specified payment method as soon as you place the order.

Which is how? Just the business status page, or a phone number? I have Premier but did not receive the email a lot of the Premier people seem to have gotten this morning, and my order is stuck in preorder processing, and only the $1 charge is on my credit card so far..

It was just an email directing you to the premier order tracking site. "https://www.wireless.att.com/business/order_status/"

The email nor the site provided any new information. I just found it interesting I got it overnight.
 
The charge is still pending on my account. I thought it could only be held for 3 days?

Got the email.

Why the hostility? I went through this with the 4s order. It's AT&T's policy and its part of the Fair Credit Billing Act. My wife is a corporate banker for Union Bank, I don't just make this up. Believe what you want, I thought everyone knew the laws governing credit cards. PayPal is not a credit card or a bank.

It's true, I worked at a bank before.
 
My order # starts like this and I ordered at 1:48am CST and

Order Number 2010873....

Apple iPhone 6 Plus - 64GB Preparing to Ship - 10/02/14 - 10/13/14*

Thanks for placing your order. We estimate your item will ship on or between the dates provided.

WTF????

I got the email this morning as well but I am not Premier. Charge on my card is still pending
