I ordered 2 iPhone 6s got the both within the dates I was quoted. I think if you would quit reordering and canceling you would get your phone on time. It's like trying to tell a 2 year old sometimes you guys amaze me
Got a tip for us?

gotta love all of the judgmental d*cks that already got their phones (supposedly) coming out of the woodwork lately. Sir (I assume you are a sir, if not excuse me) I have a 2 year old and let me tell you, he gives a lot more insightful commentary than you just did on a daily basis.
So what age does that make AT&T giving people that order the phone weeks after myself an earlier shipping date if I'm not suppose to be annoyed that they are getting the same phone before I'm even inside of my shipping window at all? It's not all about getting it in the random window they picked it's about being on Day 50 of the order process.
This is my last day of waiting. I'm walking into Apple stores today and canceling with AT&T if there is one in stock, my trade-in credit be damned.
I would do the same thing if they allowed NEXT with in store pickup!!! Not worth the risk of missing the phone with a 2hr drive each way

I hope you both get your phones today, or at least get them shipped. I was just waiting to hear from Ginger if she had had any movement. Sorry to hear you haven't
I know this is no comfort in moment but I was backordered until the day after my shipping window..when I woke up the first day after my window..my cc was charged and I got my tracking number later that day...do not give up hope or get so caught up on the exact window..it may be just one day later...keeping my fingers crossed for you and everyone else that this hell will end for everyone very soon!
Here is the weird thing
On phone it says 2 order numbers
1. "backordered" from beginning: online status doesnt exist, also reps couldnt find anything about it, they said it must be from long time.
2. "processing": online status "preparing to ship" from the beginning of order.
Today the 1st one changed to processing and got CC charged, but online order doesnt exist.
So it might be that there is another duplicate order that is having the actual status than what was provided to me ? i am not sure.
This is the silver 64+ unicorn model. So did this happen for anyone else ?

Samesies for all, except my cc hasn't been charged yet. But the 877 says processing and will ship 10/29-11/07! So I hope that means I get my unicorn soon!

Well, everyone, pleasure hanging out with all of you. I have my phone in hand and it's fantastic. Hang in there everyone, it's worth the wait. Good luck to you all.

I'm jealous of you folks that can even use the 877 number. It hasn't ever been able to find my order number. Thankfully the website does. Unthankfully it still hasn't changed.
Still waiting in HouTX
You should have gotten and email from ATT that gives you your estimated ship dates. At the bottom paragraph it gives you a link to check status, the 877 number and the order number you need to check it over the phone.
Hope this helps. It took me a while to figure it out.

Thanks, LolaBear, but ThirdEyeOpen and I are getting our phones through our employers and don't get any communication direct from AT&T. 🙁

Tried the phone number instead of the order number and it worked. Backordered. Lovely.
Thanks for your two cents douchenozzle! If you actually paid attention to the forum, you'd notice that AT & T are the ones canceling people's orders, not the customers themselves. Now go away, the adults are trying to have a conversation....

Hang in there Ginger!! I didn't get any news until the very last day of my window. I would give it until tomorrow before I raise hell.
On a side note, I did contact online chat in regards to my order with a question, but I highly doubt that played a part in my processing at all since most CSR's are clueless.
I think the biggest point of contention with folks here is the fact people who ordered later than they did are getting their phones first. It's not about being impatient, it's about being fair.
But hey what do I know, I already got my phone. 🙂

Well, this is interesting. I guess.
To start
I'm Premier
SG 128GB 6+
Ordered 9/22
Shipping range of 10/30-11/10
Just called the 877 to ask if there's any update to my order, basically it's today or Monday, and I haven't seen/heard anything.
The Premier CSR was adamant that I would be getting the phone shipped. "Definitely Monday, could be today" and that I'll get an email with tracking number. She was very confused as to why I'd even be questioning this. She repeated over and over that "your phone will ship by Monday and you'll get an email". Sounded to me a lot like "Tell him what he wants to hear". Maybe I'm overly cynical at this point, but that's what I felt.
To put a finer point on it, I asked her "So you have phones in stock?" She said "we have lot of those phones in stock, yes".
Maybe she's right, maybe ATT is literally going to adhere to the letter of the law with the range and ship in on the last possible day for many people.
I doubt it. I think she was telling me what I want to hear so I'd hang up ASAP and she could go about her day.
She did provide a number to call if I don't get a shipment email by EOD Monday though. 1-866-499-8008, Option 2

Please let us know what happens. I ordered same phone, premier one day later and one day later on shipping dates...what happens to you may give me hope.
If AT&T only ships it on the last day of your shipping range.. I guess I won't expect any movement on my order until 11/14...
Try this website. It doesn't require an order number:
https://m.att.com/checkorder/
Note that the status it has shown from day 1 is "Preparing to ship".

Like 2-year olds, you are way off target (but no where near as cute). This is a discussion on iPhone 6 Plus, not 6, which are far harder to come by than 6's. And the vast majority of the issues discussed here have nothing to do with canceling or reordering.
