wth AT&T? I'm going straight up bananas

So I'm really confused.... AT&T site says "Preparing to Ship" (I believe its said this since the 12th) 877 number says its back ordered, and when we speak to AT&T on the phone they say their computers say "In progress"...the lady said not everything updates as fast as their computers, and "In progress" is the next best thing other than a shipped status. so wth is going on? lol:mad:

Just worry about the 877 number, nothing else matters. when the 877 goes to processing your tracking will come in a day or so....No website, no CSR, nothing but the 877 number.Tracking will come in 24-48 hours, no matter what...

Finally something!! I called the 877 number for the hundredth time today and it is now saying order processing instead of backordered! Still no emails, texts, or updates on my AT&T account. My order info below.

Ordered from AT&T
Iphone 6 plus SG 64GB
Ordered at 4AM PST on 9/12
Confirmation email at right around 4:45AM PST
Confirmation text at 9AM on 9/12
Stuck on 10/13 to 10/22 date since day one
Non Premier customer

ATT Site - Preparing to Ship 10/13-10/22
877 - Order Processing

We'll see here soon if this is it! I've been waiting patiently as I know I ordered later than a lot of people.. Glad to see some movement though and not the dreaded backorder again! :cool: :apple:


Alright glad to see you guys are having the ball roll. Your phones will be there Monday i bet. The waiting game is almost over.

----------

I was told my the CSR that there is a shortage on 16gb because it was that most popular one bought. My wife is highly upset. I'm hoping to find her one around my area because she's jealous now that she sees my 64gb SG

----------

Just checked and my 16gb plus is now in processing! No shipping info yet but progress is progress!

Ya 16gb will always be the best seller, no matter what. Their are more people that cant afford a bigger phone then people that can. The cheapest will always win. So if you are going to buy a 16gb, always get it from Apple...
 
Do you know what defines this? I'm not trying to be rude lol I'm just curious how it all works :eek:

There is no rhyme or reason what or how this is all done. All we know is first come first serve does not matter. Order number does not matter, shipping estimates really don't matter. When that 877 number goes to "processing" you have 24-48 hours till you get your shipping info then phone....

Thanks for clearing that up! Still on backorder status... The wait continues..:confused:
 
I just checked 877 and I'm processing! :eek:
I hope that I don't get put back onto back order status and I'm really hoping that the phone arrives before my birthday on the 7th. I just dropped my Iphone 5 (in a speck case) and the touchscreen is non functional, I didn't have my charger with me so my phone died, and now I'm locked out completely.
I was using Siri to text and make calls for me.

icyw ...

Ordered - 9/12 Noon PST.
Model - 6+ gold 64 GB
Expected ship date - 11/9 +
Purchased through AT&T Premier

Lucky! :) I hope your phone ships fast!!
 
Still spinning

No changes for me, I think it's time for some of that Vodka you guys were enjoying last night, maybe a lot of that vodka! :rolleyes: If I thought that Verizon would do me better I would switch tomorrow, both of our contracts are up and would could walk, but would I gain any thing? Would I end up at the end of the line there and not get a phone until Nov?

Good night all, it's vodka time!:cool:

Still not seeing many of the 128GB gold shipping yet. Looks like this round is the 64gb gold. However, I am seeing a lot more AT&T 6 pluses showing up in stock at apple stores on the grids as well as target and best buys. So who knows what the next few days will have for us.
 
Still waiting.....

AT&T - still processing(shipment pending)
877# backorder :mad:

64g silver 6+

I haven't seen many silvers go out recently. Did anyone order a 6p silver in 128?

Mine is silver but it's not a plus and a 64gb
