Wow folks. Some of you jumping up and down have a delivery date well into Oct. It's Sept 24th and you're screaming ATT did you wrong. Cancel your orders or return them when received. You don't have to put up with this ATT "agony".
This is an Apple supply issue for the most part (excepting the bungled orders that occurred in the wee hours of preorders). Verizon, T-Mobile and other vendors of these phones are not handing them out while we sit. Same story for them (Apple stores excluded of course, they want to look good). And with more countries coming on line order wise, the supply is even more strangled. ATT ships them as they get them. It's seems premier members are getting first shot, but we have no real numbers to base that on. Just some anecdotal evidence from one internet forum.
I ordered on the 21st. My ETA is last week in Oct. It's a long wait, but they were upfront with the date (and Apple says 4-6 weeks also). Anything sooner should be appreciated, not expected. I'm all for the excitement of tracking orders in a mature way, but some of you with the rants (like this one I suppose), jeeze.
Okay, shoot now.
The issue with the so-called rants. Is that most of us here ordered at the wee hours of the morning when preorder became available on 9/12.
Those of us left on here A) have seen people who ordered hours and days after us already receive their phones. B) we still don't have our phones.
So instead of this "1st come 1st serve" drivel that att is peddling. We have seen more of a "1st in, last out" experience from att.
Good news is that if the past is any way to judge the situation, then there will probably be some original preorders here after you have received your phone
giving me lots of hope! ordered same phone, 10 min after you, not premier, and same phone...thought they had forgotten us...Agreed.. and the fact many of us had the 19th as our first delivery date.. and then were promised by AT&T via chat or phone that we would get it on the 19th...

Just called 877 again and mine has gone from "Back Ordered" to "Being Processed between 7AM CST and 9AM CST this morning. There's hope I might get it tomorrow.
My order number begins in 1016. The rest of my details are in my sig.

hang in there, I've been suffering this past week reading the forums, it will happen soon
877 status change, no shipping
Sometime between 11pm EDT last night and this this morning my status on the 877 number changed from "backordered" to "Your order is being processed", estimated ship date 10/2/14 - 10/13/14. Web order statuses still say "processing order"
I did not however get any shipping info overnight however.
Hoping for positive shipping movement today based on other's experience on the board.
Thanks to everyone for posting their information! It is helpful in adding useful information to the AT&T embarrassing mess. Order details in signature.

You're right, anything can happen, but at least that's some movement! Mine has just been stuck at these dates.. Keep us 10/13-22 folks updated if anything changes with your order.
Looks like a lot of shipments today.
Couldnt find my order on the 877 line so talked to a representative. He transferred me to a premier rep so I wanted to hear what he would say and try to get some sort of credit. I asked him how come I do not have my phone and he was blaming Apple on their supply and didn't understand that phones were shipping. So i told him 64G iphone + are shipping that ordered after me so he put me on hold saying he would talk to the warehouse. He said he would push the dates up and try to expedite my shipment. I asked him how are you going to do this and what compensation can you give me since it took so long. He said he knew I was going to ask him this and mumbled something then the phone disconnected.
hmmm

Getting closer... Identical to mine but order starts with 1018.... turning blue from holding my breath.

Thanks!
No kidding. Can't believe how much time I am wasting watching this thread.
Lurker here... just checked my AT&T Order Status page and the overall "Shipment Status" went from Waiting to Ship to "Shipped"!! No tracking number though (still says "Pending Shipment")... but at least those nasty 10/2-10/13 dates are gone. Hoping the rest of the info comes soon.
My details:
iPhone 6+ SG 64GB (Premier)
Ordered ~3:11 AM EST 9/12
Confirmed Email arrived 4:38 AM EST 9/13
Shipped to VT
FWIW, I did call the 877 number for the first time in a few days last night and it did say "Processing" instead of "Backordered". So maybe there is some truth to that...
