AT&T Pre-order status iPhone 6 Plus (only)

Zebulah said:
FWIW, I ordered a 6+ (128 gig) at about 3:45AM on the 12th. From the beginning I was given a date of 10/13-10/22. Got a text yesterday confirming shipping. Tracking the FedEx shipment shows it is in Newark, NJ right now. That's very close to me.

I just wish I had know I would get it so soon. I never bothered to order any kind of case. In desperation I ordered some crappy thing from Amazon. I also ordered the Apple Leather case but that won't be here till the end of next week.

I've been monitoring this thread and just thought I would add my experience to the mix.

I'm assuming you placed it with ATT. Is the tracking pulling up when you check your order? That's great news man, congrats. Scheduled for tomorrow?

This is what makes me crazy! I ordered 45 minutes before you and I have always had the Oct 2-13 ship dates and I am still preparing to ship status...wtf?:mad:

I had mentioned this very same thing. At the very least stop taking pre-orders. I understand it's a business and their in it to make money, but they're milking this for all it's worth. We already have shipping estimates stretching all the way to Thanksgiving, given it's not accurate but still.

Did you receive a confirmation? Were you charged? If neither happened, then I'd be concerned.

I got the email shortly after I preordered with the order number and all that. Later I got the text about how my order was processed. My credit card has a pending charge from AT&T for the full amount of the phone plus tax. Ever since I got the processed text my order status disappeared from their website. I have never received any kind of date range for shipping. I have no way of checking my status. So why shouldn't I be concerned? Especially when everyone who works at AT&T is a braindead moron.
 
Sadness

I keep putting my 5s inside the gently curved case of my 6+ and weeping softly. Will it come? Will it not? It's painful that even the hand of AT&T cannot say for sure. :(
 
That's it....

No more ordering any **** from AT&T, they are dead, lets spread the news over twitter and facebook to stop using AT&T
 
I got the Order Status email from AT&T this morning around 9. Ever since I've ordered I've been in the 10/13-10/22 category. I'm hoping I just get it early next week at this point... but I won't hold my breath...

Sad thing is, last year I switched to AT&T from Verizon... I'm kind of regretting that now that I've seen how AT&T handles "Pre-Orders".
 
My "Cancel Preorder" button is back. **** AT&T. Never ordering from them again. I'm canceling my order and Im gonna go get a flip phone. I can't not have a phone for 2 more weeks.

Thank you for the input. Now I see the reason for your concern. Good luck man, that sucks.

Your order disappeared totally? I'd be pretty concerned too.
 
Fwiw

I've been a lurker here the past few days, so I thought I would throw my information in.

Not totally. When I chat with someone they can look up the order but all the keep telling me is it will ship in 14-21 business days. Both automated numbers (the 867 and 866 numbers) tell me my order has been processed. I got that text saying its been processed, the only thing I don't have is an order status on ATT's website. If its not showing on their website when I search for it with both phone number and order number, clearly there must be an issue.
 
I never had a confirmation email at all, and it never showed a cancel button either. We have Premier through my husband's employer, and when I ordered his 6 we got a confirmation email.

I'm just glad to be in the 10/2-10-13 category. His phone was 9/23-10/2, and of course it's coming tomorrow. He didn't want such a big phone. I'm hoping the 10/2-10/13 group shows up next week.

How is it that AT&T is the only carrier that managed to F this whole process up? It makes me so mad..

Because AT&T is a ****ing colossus. They've gotten so big that they don't need customer accountability anymore, so they can **** us over a few times before they "have" to change their ways.
 
Ordered at 3:02am, EDT. 64gb space gray. Have been "preparing to ship" since the day after order, but dates haven't changed. Still 10/2 through 10/13. :(

I haven't really looked at the other threads, but I'm pretty sure there's a shortage of 6Plus that doesn't have anything to do with AT&T. If they didn't have much stock to work with in the first place there's not much they can do.
 
What do y'all think it means if we have NOT received this email confirming ship dates in October? I've checked everywhere in my email and I haven't gotten one (yet). I'm SG 128 +, Ordered at 12:30 PST, Originally 10/31-11/11, bumped to 10/13, then bumped again to 10/2 which is where I sit right now...thought it might flip over last night or tomorrow but it doesn't seem like that's the case. Maybe ATT ran out of stock to pull out of stores for pre-orders...

My only hope is people with the same model and similar circumstances as me have gotten theirs shipped when they ordered after I did but I'm not holding my breath on that one.
 
Once my order status actually does say shipped, I think I'll snapshot the screen and use it as a wallpaper for a while.

EVERYONE who pre-ordered from Verizon, Sprint, or T-Mo in the first few hours sans a few stragglers have gotten tracking numbers or have had their cards charged in advance of their phones being shipped.

My co-workers and friends are on Verizon and Sprint and the ones who ordered 6+'s have all gotten tracking #'s. They ordered 2am-ish PST.

Maybe true but it doesn't rectify the issue of late preorders getting tracking (and probably deliver) before those that were early.
