Wow, I think ATT really is working round the clock! I was SO close to giving up on this whole thing tonight, because other than the bump in dates like everyone else had (for me up to 10/2-10/13), I haven't gotten any emails or texts since Saturday, all the pending charges on my account since
9/12 haven't updated, my att account was stuck on "last update: 9/12".... I was really starting to worry, so I decided to check my bank account ONE more time tonight, and lo and behold, the charge for the phone taxes has finally disappeared!!! I didn't have any issues with my credit card for the order, so I know the charge disappearing means my order is on the move! Don't give up hope, my fellow 6+ers! We might get our phones on Friday after all! ☺

charge on your card disappearing is a good thing?
 
For my iPhone 5 I walked into the local AT&T and waited in line behind two people. Twenty minutes later I was on my way out, and a line was starting to form. This was around 11am. I couldn't believe how easy it was.

How much did you get for it?
 
Lol ive had the tax charged to my account for 4 days now and my phone said shipped on premier on monday, but no tracking number. Your charge on your bank account disappearing probably doesn't mean jack. lol
 
I think the charge on the card doesn't mean anything. if anything, it could mean something bad. They're not supposed to charge you until it ships. so if there is no charge, it means they haven't shipped you anything. yet....
 
You have tracking details?

Not yet, from what I've seen in other posts, the dropped charge happens first, then they charge you again once your phone has a tracking number and is shipped. I didn't have a problem with my cc, so in this case, the. dropped charge is a sign that the order is really being prepared for shipment. Should have a tracking number tomorrow, I hope!!
 
Well, I ordered my Slate Gray iPhone 6+ 128 GB at around 1:30am PT on preorder night.

The order status still says "Preparing to ship." Shipping date 10/13-10/22. Unchanged since preorder night.

No info from UPS Choice, no info from Fedex.

You guys think I still have any luck of magically getting it on launch day?

I'm in the exact same boat, I'd like to know as well. However, I didn't get a plus unfortunately as by the time I went into the att store and took the bus there it was 11am, after they had cancelled my first plus order. By then, it was November ship dates.

How did you preorder so early ???
 
charge on your card disappearing is a good thing?

If you didn't initially have problems with your cc, then yes, it's a good thing. The charge was a hold/pending, so once it drops, it should reappear quickly as a cleared charge, and once that happens, you should get a tracking number, because ATT can only charge you once your phone has shipped.

Check and see if it's a pending charge from 9/12. They can't actually charge you until they ship you your phone, they can only run a hold for your funds.
 
Shipped!

DATE ORDERED: 09/12/2014
SHIPMENT STATUS: Shipped
Tracking Number: (my tracking # was here)
Carrier: UPS
Shipping Date: 09/13/2014
Quantity:1


note: it said Pending an hour ago when I checked. And the shipping date said 9-17 to 9-18. So it took 5 days to update after they shipped it.

Space Gray 64GB iPhone 6. ordered @ 1:17 AM Pacific on 9/12.
 
...and my second iPhone just shipped! This time UPS.

So... 64GB Silver iPhone 6 via FedEx from Fort Worth
and... 16GB Space Gray iPhone 6 via UPS from Memphis

both to Ohio.

It's thursday, no tracking under UPS or FEDEX with reference, att ship date says 13th-31st with AT&T. Should I cancel and risk going into the att store tomorrow?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but if the hold falls off before the actual transaction posts, that's more likely an indicator it did NOT ship yet as they don't sent the actual charge until it ships.
 
I live in Anchorage, ordered 4 6s one at a time within the first hour. All 16 GBs: 1 grey, 1 gold, 2 white. All have been shipped with FedEx and, presumably came to Anchorage ... and then went on to Ft Worth. All have now been shipped and are en route to be back in Anchorage tomorrow and will almost certainly be delivered on Friday. In fact, the phones are probably already here and embargoed to prevent early delivery.
 
Ordered from AT&T on release date (hour after opening of preorders):

128GB - 6 Plus - Gold
64GB - 6 Plus - Space Gray

Estimated ship date on AT&T website: 10/31/14 - 11/11/14
Changed 09/14/2014 to: 10/13/14 - 10/22/14
Changed 09/16/2014 to: 10/02/14 - 10/13/14 (no changes)

No shipping information yet and cancel button showed up on premier site
Tried UPS My Choice & FedEx Delivery Manager, and searching by reference number, nothing.

:mad:

my hold fell off earlier today, and at&t still said pending. then tonight it said shipped with a tracking #, and it had been shipped on 9/13. the transaction still hasnt posted permanently to my CC account. So I wouldn't give up hope just yet.
