Ordered 9/19 Approximately 10 AM PST
I was trying to hold out and see if I would receive the phone before I felt the urge to chime in but here we are in the last week of Oct. and my hopes for early shipment have dwindled to no expectation at all.
A bit of good news though is that my card was charged yesterday so that gives me hope there is some form of movement as the trend has typically shown shipment sometime shortly after our cards were charged again.
Hopefully it won't be long.

If your card was charged, call the 877 # and see what it tells you. If it says processing, you should expect shipping information pretty soon.
Same here.
Funny thing is when checking the status on mine, it NEVER said "back ordered", and I am on day 39 since I ordered it (I think BUSINESS day 27). When I call in it still says "your order is being processed" and when I check online it says "preparing to ship" with estimated ship dates of 11/9-11/27.
Shipped!
I just checked online and apparently my phones 128 Gold ATT/64 Gold ATT shipped on Saturday from Fort Worth, TX and has an expected delivery date of today by FedEx.
Original ship dates were 11/9-11/27/14 and have been in process with the 877 number since I ordered.
Looks like this is going to be a good week for ATT iPhone orders!

Anyone know why att premier would cancel my order out of nowhere? Ordered 9/22 with expected ship date 10/30-11/10.
According to the lady at USPS 800 # FW is flooded and the trucks just can not get out.
She also wanted to sell me some swamp land in Florida.they used them for sending my iPad air also. Same thing took about 10 days for a 1 day trip from Memphis!
I am going to call CS when after I get it and raise cane. No excuse for this sort of service.
Interesting: My Gold 128 shipped Friday from Fort Worth via FedEx and is set to deliver tomorrow. Also had original ship dates 11/9-11/27, with order placed at on 9/12.
I've been trying to puzzle out some pattern to how AT&T fulfilled these orders from the beginning, but it just seems like there isn't any.
Co-Worker's Phone Shipped
Hey All, figured I would offer a glimmer of hope. My coworker's phone shipped and will be here Wednesday.
64gb Silver Plus. He ordered through our company's att account on the 13th or 14th of Sept. With delivery dates of 11/9–11/27. I however, am still stuck in backorder purgatory... But it give me hope some 64's are shipping.

Premier seems to have priority. I would have more hope to hear non premier orders are shipping.
There seems to be hope for everyone, mine was shipped last Thursday and most that are shipping now are either orders from the 9/12 or 9/13 camp. They seem to be giving priority right now to earlier pre-orders but they should have done that from the start.

The whole thing about this is, now that it's out for delivery the waiting is real! It's harder than waiting those long...long 6 weeks!
I agree! Im in the same boat! Thank god im not working, i wouldnt be able to focus and i work with electricity! Lol
So I shot an email over to Mr. Stephenson with some complaints regarding my order and received a phone call back from someone at his office just a few minutes ago and we chatted for a good 20 minutes. I had initially emailed him to say how disorganized this release was, how it needed to be handled better, how I have been waiting over 39 days (27 business days) and some people like myself ordered the phone not because we wanted the latest and greatest but because we NEEDED it (current iPhone has been broke for many weeks). Her only solution was to send me a working smartphone to use until my iPhone 6 Plus order is fulfilled, which I agreed to. She said AT&T's hands are tied and ultimately its Apple who isn't sending them enough devices to fulfill orders because of the global demand for the phones. And when i asked why people who ordered after me received their phones already, she honestly had no answer for me. She tried to explain that some accounts have priority (business, premiere,etc.), but couldn't tell me why. All I know is that we both agreed that this whole thing is mind blowing and she said they cannot wait until all orders are fulfilled and their company stores have stock but is afraid it will not be until the beginning of 2015.
Tried to see if mine was on back order... Megatron told me she couldn't find my order and disconnected the call. I called back, and asked for a rep. As he was reading the script, it fell out of his hands and I could hear him stutter and reread his lines.
Even though I ordered on 10/14, I still wanted to experience what many of you were talking about with the 877#.

I'm guessing a toilet backed up at the post office or sorting facility. Therefore all mail must come to a complete stop until a certified contractor can be brought in to assess the situation and then find the appropriate sub-contractors to actually correct the issue. Mail should be moving again within a month!

Because they're sadistic and think its funny?
