Anyone else still have status of " Preparing shipment " with a ship date of 9/17-9/18 for the Iphone 6 ( 16 GB/SB )

This is what makes me think that ALOT of people will be getting phones tomorrow. Iphone 6's were readily available, so if his is still saying preparing shipment like mine I feel good about the chances
 
Go to att website to check order status. Initial email link is off.

Yeah I pull up my order by their website checking status and even called.. it says my order can no longer be cancelled and its in the shipping/packing place for sending out.
 
Still stuck. :(

Is that a positive sign that I will get my phone at some point tomorrow?

Did you order via AT&T Premier?

I pre-ordered before 3:10 am EST on 9/12 through AT&T.

I had the exact same thing after I preordered at 4:09 EST on 9/12 and with a $1 hold on my card. It bothered me because everyone else was seeing dates and I only had that. I subsequently called on 9/16 and was told that there was an issue with my credit card approving the order (BS because my credit card company told me otherwise). The rep said he had to "re-process" my order and then I got a full charge and then an update on the web, indicating shipping dates of 10/15-11/4 and that's where it remains now.

I'd advise you to call, but I'm not sure what would have happened had I never called them myself and whether or not what the rep did was actually the proper thing to do. Either way at this point it doesn't look like I'm getting my phone as promised by the initial confirmation email. :mad:
 
Seriously? Have you read ANY of this thread? Some people are getting the 6+ on Friday.Not everybody,OBVIOUSLY.

I didn't say nobody was getting it, but it seems to me they should have sufficient inventory to at least meet the orders of the people who ordered early. Does that not make sense to you? Especially when some people who ordered later are getting them.

I think you make sense.

Everyone knows that APPLE severely underestimated the number of +'s that would be ordered. In fact there are production numbers floating around that suggest APPLE is still rolling out 6's over the 6+'s by almost 4 to 1, which is nowhere near meeting the number of orders for the 6+'s.
 
Don't despair

Guys,
Just got an email confirmation just now from att with tracking for tomorrow delivery by 3 pm.
I have a 128GB 6 plus silver that I ordered through premier at 8 am cst on Frida and had not had any movement since last Friday. My original dates were 10/13-10/22 btw. So DON'T CANCEL! obviously those dates are not accurate.
 
I've accepted the fact that I won't get till 10/2. My window flopped around and has been stuck there.

It's a shame that I woke up and completed the thing at 2:30am CST, but it's just another 2 weeks. What's sad is everyone elses are sitting up the street from me waiting to be delivered. Global FX Shipping Headquarters is about 3 miles up the road. UPS about the same distance.

Wow, you ordered at 8 AM CT? That's a few hours after me - for the same phones...and we haven't gotten anything. We're still stuck at 10/13-10/22 forEVER.

But I'm glad you got yours!

It's not that they underestimated demand; it's that a very late screen redesign choked the number of phones they'd have ready in time. There are more 6s available, because they went into production earlier than the 6+s.

Well I got an email today telling me they are still expecting my phone to ship on 10/31-11-11. I'm really considering canceling now and trying to buy via apple.

Has any one here tried doing that and choosing the in store pick up for 9/19? I would try that buy I don't want to process a order and then cancel my preorder and then be SOL when I process the apple order. I've never bought via apple so I don't know when it would tell you in the order process if the phone is available for this at a given store.
 
Does anyone know where my cancel button would be? I'm on my phone and I keep getting the mobile site version.
 
My 6+ status 128GB Silver Premier

Yes, sadly I've been following this too for days...:eek:

I couldn't get into the apple site last Friday so I ordered a 6 Plus 128GB Silver from AT&T. It went through as premier because I have a FAN discount. The order was placed around 3:30am EST. I got the confirmation email from Premier at 7:55am on Friday. Then on Saturday I got the two texts "Congratulations! Your order has been processed. You will be notified when your order has shipped...." at 10:44am and 10:59am. At that point my shipping was in the 10/30 to 11/11 group. Then this past Monday my shipping changed to the 10/2-10/13 shipping group. On Tuesday the $1.00 and $539.95 charges dropped off CC. Yesterday evening at 8pm I got a text saying my wireless plan was changing to the new plan.
Current status on business direct website is "Preorder Processing"
Current status on att.com "Preparing to Ship"

Both have been that way all week.

I've tried a few times to chat with reps on the website but they always just quote the 10/2 to 10/13 shipping window.

My phone is shipping to a commercial address so I can not check ups or fedex... and attempts to find the order using my phone number as a reference have not been successful.

Calling 866 and 877 hasn't helped. One says backordered and the other just tried to redirect to an operator... at that point I just hung up figuring they'd tell me the same thing as the online chat reps.

I don't feel hopeful I'll have my 6+ tomorrow. :confused:

It looks like the number of iPhone flights heading into the states is tapering off, at least compared to yesterday. Two flights arrived about 6 hours ago, with one more taking off in about 5 hours, and one still heading into Anchorage from China.

The site is showing four flights inbound now then departing for Louisville, KY a few hours later. So...about another million phones headed stateside.

This needs to be boosted! I didn't even think of doing this. Turns out my phone shipped three days ago, and I've got tracking, arriving tomorrow! Thanks!

Yes, as I am aware. However the choice to go ahead with the launch on the plus was based on luke-warm demand (hence not building up better supply). Instead they got pummeled and now we have November ship dates. According to other numbers floating around (and of course its the internet so it must be true), they are still producing 6's at a rate of 4 to 1 over the +'s. Some of that is that it actually takes longer to produce the 6+, due to said screen, but I still feel like APPLE is underestimating the 6+. That part is just my opinion though lol.
 
I'll just add in:

Ordered through AT&T an Iphone 6+ 128g Space Gray.

Order confirmation email received at 2:53am EST (9/12)
AT&T order status being fulfilled email received at 3:12am EST (9/12)
Text from AT&T stating my order has been sent to warehouse for shipping on 9/12 at 9:00am.

Order status fluctuated over weekend from Processing to Preparing to Ship, to Backordered, and finally returning to Preparing to ship, where it is now.

Ship date remains 10/2-10/13 with no tracking found on UPS or Fedex as of yet.


I will say I had literally this same experience with the Iphone5 two years ago with the changing and late shipping dates and fluctuating status's and not being able to see my tracking number. Actually feeling fairly confident it will come on time. People blasting AT&T and Apple, but I am sure few companies have the infrastructure to deal with such a launch. This is my third presale order of the Iphone through AT&T and I've always received on launch day.

Refresh on.

Disappointing at this point considering when I got my preorder in. Received an email from AT&T this morning at 5:21am stating "we are still expecting to ship my order on the dates below" with the same 10/2-10/13 dates.
