You're right! The order status from the link they sent says Preorder Processing, the one on att.com says Preparing to Ship
None of them allow me to cancel the order, but the charges on my cc have dropped.
Hopefully they ship today or tomorrow!

Preparing to ship/ Preorder Processing = same thing

To cancel order you need to call or go into a store.
 
To all att premier customers

Don't check your order status on the link that was sent to you in the confirmation email. Mine still said "Preparing to Ship" this morning even though it had already shipped. Instead, go to att.com and click on Check Order Status at the bottom right or bottom on mobile. That should have more up to date info and hopefully a shipped notification with a tracking no!
 
My order just switched to Pending Shipment and Carrier FEDX and ship date 09/17.:):eek::D:apple:

I ordered on Sunday, 09/13 - Silver iPhone 6 128 GB
 
After talking to 4-5 ATT reps today( and trying the whole Ooga booga thing - mentally)........ If you have 10/02 to 10/13, at this point in time, I truly believe it will ship on 10/02. Believe me. I'm bummed.

The clock has been ticking, and nothing has changed for me. I've thrown in the towel.


Ordered iPhone 6plus 64g, ordered 3:10am Edt. Premier sites and regular ATT sites with multiple ph nos.

Yes..... I became THAT guy. The one I hate!

All their csr reps see is the same thing you see online so of course they aren't going to tell you anything different.
 
Should I be worried about the ATT website not yet showing the item as shipped? It's a 128 6 (regular, not plus). It has said from the time I ordered it that it would ship between 9/17 & 9/18. Nothing yet though.
 
Same here. I thought ordering earlier than the posted time would give us a iPhone on launch date for sure. But I guess I was wrong because I have not received any shipping information while everyone else has theirs. I'm hoping tomorrow will be a good day.
same here. BUT when i got my 4s my status was at backorder while my phone was at my front door.

Nope. My wife's phone is the same and I see her shipment in ups my choice. You'll have it Friday 100%
 
Is your name on my choice the exact spelling of the name being shipped to? Mine didn't show her package until I added her name as an additional household member (she is the primary on our att account)

I hope this is not the case as I have my phone shipping to work and since the primary name on my account is my wife, the might reject the package if I don't give them a tracking # ahead of time.

Hopefully there are more updates later tonight or even tomorrow.
 
Hang in there. My order and dates are/were identical to yours. I ordered mine four minutes before you and received a tracking number a couple hours ago. Yours is probably already on it's way as well. (The originating FedEx scan for mine was Monday at 2 PM). Silence from all sources until I checked my order status this afternoon with att.

God I hope you're right. I ordered my 128 GB space gray 6 Plus several minutes before ordering officially began (because ATT began accepting preorders ten minutes early) and I'm still stuck at 10/2-10/13. I have FedEx and UPS configured to alert me when anyone initiates a shipment to me … and still nothing, while I watch people who ordered the same config after me receive tracking confirmation. The early bird may get the worm but it appears he doesn't necessarily get the Apple. :(

This was my problem originally. Just updated the name and BAM there was my package #
 
64GB SG IP6+ ordered around 12:55A PST, email received @ 2:28AM

Still stuck at "Preparing to ship" 10/02 to 10/13/14 ship date. Looks like I'm waiting a few weeks.

I just added the name of the account holder and still nothing on UPS.

Watch it come via FedEx. lol
 
Well, that gives me some hope! :apple:

Lurker here. I am in this exact situation too. I feel like the people who accessed the site early are being punished :(. Although, there was some talk earlier about Florida not getting tracking info until the night before somewhere. Hoping that this is the case for me..

i see one arriving in dallas/fw as well!
 
Interesting how the camera sticks out of the back of the S5 active I'm typing on right now so I guess it's not cutting edge either. Oh and the Nokia Lumia I tried once that has a lens similar to that of a small dslr, it must not be cutting edge either at 40+ megapixels (albeit upscaled) in a phone! If people are shocked or unhappy with the camera sticking out on the new iPhone I believe it's because folks in general expect more from apple when it comes to design. It's seemingly ok for the trolls phone to have these protruding lenses but not on an apple device. Am I disappointed with Apple? No. I would rather have the thinnest iphone ever with a very small lens protrusion than a thicker phone with a flush lens. Heck the lens on this S5 active not only protrudes from the back but is also encased with an extra half inch square of plastic that tapers away from the lens I assume to make the lens protrusion less noticeable. Whatever, in the end it really doesn't matter so long as I get a truly cutting edge device to use in my business for another year. Thank you Apple.
 
In case of other people having similar issues: I ordered a 6 within 30 minutes of midnight PST last Friday. Received an email this morning that my order required attention due to a "past due balance" (which after speaking with a customer service rep was clearly not the case). After waiting on hold for one hour and 50 minutes this morning, they "fixed" the issue by "reprocessing" the order. That reprocessing was essentially just placing an order today. So I will not likely see a phone for several weeks. For those of you with similar issues, you may want to jump on this (i.e., speak with a customer service rep) sooner rather than later. Good luck!

...but things just took a turn for the best! Good luck to everyone else who is waiting!

so it looks like it is safe to say that NOBODY who ordered a plus from AT&T is receiving on launch day. incredible. :eek:

For FedEx tracking (as long as it is residential) you can register for FREE with DeliveryManager (equivalent to UPS MyChoice)
http://www.fedex.com/us/delivery/

Unfortunately my package is being delivered to my work so I cannot track, but give that link a shot and register to see if your package is on the way!
