I bagged it and canceled my Prermier order. I ordered online via Apple for In-store pickup. Apple can't see my Premier account so the only wy to get a phone online for pickup is to do the 2 year contract to a new account. Unless you setup your Premier account using your social, there's no way to get a phone using Next. They let me buy, return and then simply buy the phone outright { which you can't do for store pickup either}.. Expensive, but I own it and I still have the upgrade on my 5s. It was activated on my Premier account.
 
) Am I the only one who hasn't received any communication from AT&T since my email confirmation and text message on the 12th? I ordered my 128 SG @ 2:45am Friday morning.

You aren't the only one - I haven't received any communication since the two texts I received on the 12th (duplicates of each other about 2 hours apart)
 
And with no flights tonight...that isn't going to improve...

Actually I'm thinking the reason that 8 flights came in to Louisville last night was to make up for the normal 5 that would come in each night. They tried giving us a little extra to make it through Sunday without flights. I'm also thinking they probably didn't get sorted through all 8 planes and there still may be some catching up happening once regular business resumes tomorrow.

All speculation though.

I hope so. Also - I hope the factory kept pumping them out so that another five planes head out tomorrow!

Also, the phones need to get to Fort Worth and processed at ATTs warehouse there before we see Fedex tracking numbers populate.
 
This sounds about right

In theory, this is great advice. In practice, not so much. No color / storage combos of *any* IP+'s have been in inventory at any of the Apple Stores in Milwaukee or Chicago. I've tried them all many times over the last 3 days. Trust me. Unless there's a magic inventory replenishment time I've been missing each day?

If you check after mindnight Pacific time you might find them then. Apparently that is when their system updates store availability for their shipments. When I got up at 7:00 eastern time this morning there were still some of the 128 6+ available in each color. I was able to reserve my hubby's Silver one around 7:25 but when I went back at 7:30 all variations of the plus were gone. Check in the early hours of the morning!
 
I am in the same boat. Ordered the same model around 1205 PST received confirmation email around 145am then received a text at 430pm saying more order had been processed. Been stuck at processing order with estimated ship date of 10/2 to 10/13. Nothing since then. Just seems so random how they are shipping orders out.

Sadly I've read every post of this thread =) Am I the only one who hasn't received any communication from AT&T since my email confirmation and text message on the 12th? I ordered my 128 SG @ 2:45am Friday morning. I've checked my status from time to time and I'm in the 10/2-10/13 group. I want to check if I've got a tracking number, but am afraid of the letdown if I don't yet so I'm holding out =)
 
Hey guys, I've been lurking for a while in this thread thought I'd finally give my update

I ordered a 64GB 6+ Space Grey on the AT&T site about 10 mins before it opened up saying 14-21 business days.. Got my first confirmation email at 2:52am eastern or 11:52 pm pacific.. then another email came "Your order status" at 3:09am eastern or 12:09am pacific, showing the 10/2-10/13 dates..

At 9am eastern or 6am pacific I got the AT&T text saying order processed & sent to warehouse for shipment

Sunday 9/14 my order switched to back ordered for a few hours then back to the 10/2 date range by evening.

Haven't budged since, got the reaffirming order status email on Thursday with the same 10/2 dates..

I'm not a premiere customer, my order right now just says "preparing to ship"

Order number starts with 1626.. I'm in Northern New Jersey


that's the same exact model and color I ordered, my order starts with 1912. 12:50 Pacific order time.

Not true. There were plenty of every GB and Color at the Michigan Ave store until 2pm Chicago time. I live on Mich Ave in the South Loop so it was pretty tempting to order one. However I am a premier so AT&T doesn't allow you to cancel or talk to someone from premier on the weekends. Those CSR must be really premier staff to get weekends off during an iPhone release. Anyways on Saturday morning from. 1am until 2pm you could of had a 6 plus in any size color combo. They even had them at the Orland Park store later in the day. But none since 2pm yesterday.

For the record I ordered a 64 gold plus (premier) 15mins after release. Still have 10/02 and no info or tracking
