Got my 6 Plus 128 GB SG ordered on 9/12 at 9AM CST with excpected ship dates of 10/31-11/11 yesterday around noon. It took 47 days from the day ordered and I think 33 business days. I think that is close to the avergage. What are your all's thoughts on this?
Manhattan almost always gets a LOT of stock. Usually within a few days, you would be able to easily order one for pick up. I used to work close to the 5th Av cube, but that store was a zoo though.
I think this year the pent-up demand for the apple phablets has just overwhelmed their supply chain a lot. Next year it should definitely be less.

I see a ton of AT&T 6+'s, but no 64s in NYC. only 16 or 128 in every color. Are they that hard to come by? I saw one shop out in Long Island that has a 64GB SG, but i'm a rebel, I don't want SG.
Shipped! (at long last...)
The SG 64GB 6+ that I preordered (Premier customer) on 9/13 has finally shipped. Saw the charge on my CC yesterday, and this morning received text and email notification that it has shipped out of FW, bound for Southern California.
Sent via 2 day Fedex, which of course means that it won't be here until Monday. On the Fedex tracking page, under Special Handling Section, it specifies: Deliver Weekday. Just one last spit in the face from AT&T to ensure that this entire process be as miserable as possible.
So while they beat the 11/9-11/27 estimated timeframe, this experience has convinced me that AT&T is the worst. Had my wife not gotten her non-plus 6 several weeks ago, I would have canceled my order and switched carriers. The few bucks a month we save keeping our grandfathered (not-really-)unlimited data plan are not worth contributing to the profits of this uncaring corporation.
To those of you still waiting, I hope your phones ship soon. For those who have had their orders canceled for no reason (or stupid reasons with no option of fixing), I urge you to return the favor and cancel your AT&T service. They will keep treating their customers this way until enough of us vote with our feet. I may stay with AT&T for the lifespan of this phone, but as soon as I get the opportunity, I fully intend to switch to a carrier that has more a bit more consideration for its customers.

I ordered ~4pm mountain time on 9/12, 6+ Si 64GB with an estimated shipping date of 11/9-11/27. Still no phone as of yet
Hoping the Silvers start shipping soon, getting impatient
They should. My silver 64GB 6+ just went from back ordered to processing yesterday but still no CC charge. Everyone hold tight. I am predicting big movement tomorrow!
I got an update yesterday and my phone will be here tomorrow!
Normally, I'd go directly through aapl but I was stuck doing an upgrade transfer and didn't want to jeopardize it.
Long time lurker. First time posting. I ordered 2 6+'s on 10/3 from a brick and mortar AT&T store. A 64GB/Gold for the wife and 128GB/silver for me. My shipping window is 11/12-11/21 (Could I please get added to the list). I know that I am not to my window yet, but this is extremely frustrating. Tomorrow will be 28 days of backordered purgatory! Meanwhile, I check stock at my local apple store and of course, they have both phones I ordered in stock!
Please Add Me To The List: GO 128 10/21 12/1-12/10
Please add me to the list: GO 128 10/21 12/1-12/10. Long way off, but just wanted to be able to track. Thank you!

oh, myst, will we be getting the cancellation axe soon???
Welcome to how I felt, 2 weeks ago. And still waiting.
I swear, I don't know which is worse, a DUMB ARSE or a DUMB ARSE who thinks they know it all!
Just got off the phone with CS and she swears she's looking up the 2 orders (that I plainly see on the website while I'm on the phone with her) under my number and she can't find them. I asked her to look under my son's number as one of the orders belong to him. Again, she can't find the orders. She starts asking questions such as: when, how and what department I placed the orders.
She puts me on hold and comes back stating, "ma'am you must be mistaken, you never placed those orders, as I'm unable to find them."
Oh hell no, it took everything I had to keep my cool! I told her again, I placed the orders on the evening of October 3rd along with another order for our cases, which we received by the 7th, so don't tell me I NEVER placed the orders! Again she states there is no orders. I told her, I'm on the website in my account looking at the orders, which are under my phone number and also has the order number. She states she is not seeing any of this. I insist on giving her the order number, which she reluctantly replies, I can look it up, but I seriously doubt if I will find anything. She looks it up and low and behold, what does she find? The 2 orders I placed on the 3rd for an IPhone 6 and 6 + and they are under my number to boot! Immediately, she states my son's phone is within his shipping window which he should receive within a week or so and since my shipping window is still a ways out, she just stated that I should receive mine during that time.
There was NO apology at all in regards to her know it all arse! Makes me wonder if she was even in my account before I gave her the order number.
Ok, rant over.

I'm thinking about doing the same. But it looks like it is quite difficult to cancel an existing order with ATT!
Long time lurker, first time poster. This gives me hope. For the record... Ordered a silver 64 plus through ATT's website (huge mistake) on October 10. Was given 11/19-12/01 as a shipping time frame, I'm in the southeast, and a premier customer. No change from processing, of course. 877 causes my phone to smoke now so I don't even bother. ATT is a steaming pile of #
Congrats on your phone shipping, I hope the preorders are getting theirs too. I'm all for first come, first served.
But, to see any movement on the silver 64's is a welcome sign.
No it's easy to cancel an order, I did it while at the Apple Store, just call the 611 number from your phone, it was easy and painless and they stayed on the phone to verify that everything was done, hats off to AT&T for this part!!!
Well everyone I'll be leaving the thread soon. I ordered my SG plus 64 on 9/14 from AT&T corporate store. Canceled today. Ordered online direct from Apple store. Ready to pick up tonight. No more waiting. Also At&t customer service couldn't have been better allowing me to keep my current family plan with no increases or adjustments.
How do I get added to that tracking list?
SG 6+ 64gb, ordered via Premier on 9/23.... Estimated delivery 10/31-11/11

You would think with so many
stores having the above phones in stock, that a few in Texas would have them, but unfortunately none do.

Shipped.
I can BARELY BELIEVE MY EYES. This morning I called the 877# to find that my order went to "processing" and still gave me delivery dates of 11/9-11-27. Call again this afternoon. Same. Went onto the ATT website order status to find my order had been shipped with tracking info. Mind blown.

I don't mind that I have to wait until Monday now because I at least know now when the stupid thing will get here. I feel strongly for those who are still waiting in the dark. Nothing has been more frustrating than the complete lack of communication on ATT's part. Keep hanging in there people. There is hope.
