You can use this site. Weird that it's a sea turtle site but I think they hope that those coming to use the inventory search will check out the rest of the site. They set it up either last year or the year before.
This page is a grid of all combinations of the 6 & 6 Plus at all Apple stores:

From AT&T pre-order limbo to Apple success
I just wanted to share my experience quickly. After an hour of trying to get Apple's website and store app to load, I pre-ordered a 64GB Space Gray iPhone 6+ from AT&T with a timestamp of 4:02 a.m. eastern standard time. I received the confirmation e-mail that my order was processed at 7:39 a.m.
My shipping dates changed a few times during the week and finally settled at 10/2-10/13. I was highly optimistic of the possibility of receiving my phone during launch, after reading many forum posts about prior Apple pre-orders. Well, that never happened, and this whole process has been exasperating, to say the least. I was about to stop checking the forums, shipping carrier websites, and AT&T order page until I finally received the phone.
I saw a post late last night on Macrumors that had information on Apple's new live availability software. Apparently, Apple updates their website with each store's current availability in each configuration. This information is updated minute-by-minute.
at 3:00 a.m., I checked the Apple website. Sure enough, an Apple store 30 minutes away from me showed the iPhone 6+ SG 64GB as being available for in-store pickup. I cancelled my AT&T pre-order online and ordered the phone immediately. In my case, the upgrade eligibility was available instantaneously. I picked up the phone today, and I didn't even have to wait in a line. I walked in, showed an Apple employee my confirmation paper, and walked out with the phone.
I highly recommend everyone to check the Apple online store repeatedly throughout the next couple of day/nights to order one for in-store pickup at a local Apple store. I no longer have to deal with this AT&T iPhone 6+ pre-order debacle. Sorry for the novel! Haha.

For anyone still waiting on your tracking number, you will thank me for this link if your on a mac using safari.http://agriffindesign.com/downloads/autorefresh/
Bless you!
I have OCD and check att.com every 10 minutes. I did get a fedex email from delivery manager after 10 minutes.
I'm about every 2 sir.
Having mine sent to work. Won't even get a notice if it ships. It will just be a surprise when it gets to me.
...beer.
Been following this thread since after the pre-order. Every ATT launch has been like this since the iPhone 4. This was the first time ATT failed to deliver on launch day for me. With that said... I received a FedEx tracking number this morning for an iPhone 6+ 128 Gold scheduled for a Monday delivery. Anyone still waiting for a tracking number it will come sooner rather than later. I know ATT sucks and really dropped the ball but you will get your phone before the dates they estimate in your order status.
Fedex. If you signed up free with Fedex with shipping address, they will send you notification once there is any package is pickup from sender and ready to ship to you.
Nice, I now have to ask to work from home. If so, beer with also be involved.
Commercial address. Do they charge for that ****? Saw they were throwing noise so I gave up.
Premier. ip6+ 64 sg ordered at 2:06am Texas time. Rec'd first email at 2:16, but then did not get second e/m until 6 something am. NEVER got any text. Was originally in 10/13-22, got bumped forward to 10/2, but since then absolutely NOTHING. NO phone, NO tracking, NO kiss. This fiasco is inexcusable. they should have found a way to restore the positions of those who truly ordered early.
It's very obvious that whoever was in charge of matching supply with demand did a very poor job. It would be interesting to see how they arrived at the pre-launch production numbers. I think one thing that threw them off was that Apple is essentially offering two different phones (18 configurations) at the same time. This isn't a case of where you might settle for a different color. If you are set on getting the Plus, you most likely aren't going to settle for the 6. I actually settled for a different color. But, I had no intention to settle for the smaller screen. Or, anything less than 128g's.
I'm a half hour after. Still nothing. Total ****.
Really, they said initially that it would be 21-28 days so not really, but ****, 30 mins after? Cmon.
We are in the same boat (live in tx too). How are us tx folks not getting them?! Ugh. If only we get an update... Losing hope here
That irritates me beyond belief - I have my work address in UPS MyChoice - but stupid fedex won't let me add it to Delivery Manager.
How am I supposed to stalk a package when they thwart me so?
Still no status change on Premier or MyAt&t and no e-mails or texts
Non premier here. I agree! Ordered 9/11 at 11:50pm PST 128gb gold + dates have been 10/2-10/13 the whole time. I chatted with an online rep and they gave me the script about how the orders are put into separate queues, and they can't control when they are submitted and have no way of knowing when each were submitted. Bull***
Not yet.
It is possible they won't charged until 1st thing Monday morning. Remember they should already have a approved pending charges from CC company before they proceed with your preorder, so they don't might ship to you 1st once it is available, even during weekend, and charge it asap when weekday arrive.
