I got your message, but twice. Once at 9:48AM and then at 10:36AM. I didn't get the other message.

Yeah I got that message twice too! I guess I would hope to get the message you get. Hopefully that's the next step.
I hope so!
I ordered mine right away and it initially said delivers on 9/19 and now I'm getting Oct 1-6 delivery estimate and no change in status (still processing). *sigh* This is the worst preorder I've been through in years.Shipment Info
This year, AT&T shipment dates are much more accurate as they are using a newer Kronos system to syncronize with Apple order fulfillment and UPS/FEDEX delivery dates. It's extremely safe to say that those of you who initially received delivery dates of the 19th of this month and then later received an updated email for October or November will actually receive it in October or November. Some of you with the Next upgrade should be able to cancel your order and order through Apple instead (excluding NY residents). NY residents using Next as your upgrade option needs to get online early Friday morning at an AT&T store and purchase your phone then. Heck, everyone who wants there phone for a certainty on the 19th needs to go to an AT&T store and purchase it directly from them.

Exactly! I said this two pages ago! As stated. I really don't care if I get the phone on Friday. The only aggravating aspect is ATT's inability to upgrade the web order methods year after year. It's not like they don't know what's coming on preorder night!
what about Apple's website? They should even do A LOT better than any other carrier on the preorder night
I don't believe so, I look up their shipping policies and it didn't say anything about signing for delivery. I do know Apple does.
I ordered 2 iPhone 6 Gold 64GB with delivery that first said 9-19 and now says 9-23 to 10-2, the other silver and space gray 64GB ones first were a week delayed and now show the end of Oct. These were all ordered by the salesman at the AT&T company store because we are switching from Sprint. All of them say "Preparing to ship."
All 6 have already been charged to my credit card. I didn't think they can charge your credit card until the item is being shipped. That would be strange to pay for something that arrives more than a month later, right? So do you all think it is likely I will get them during the first week? Thanks!

Originally I had 2-3week time, but got mine got placed to 11/09-11/27 and i ordered at around 3:30. I just cancelled it and pre-ordered at radioshack with release date or 9/20 pickup date.
New Ship Date of 11-9/11-27
Here's my story. Woke up about 2:45 EST Friday to pre-order and noticed ATT had the portal already unlocked; but I wanted to do direct from Apple like 2012 with my 5. Well after an hour and a half of trying Apple.com (joke) and the Apple Store App (options kept saying "currently unavailble"; I resorted back to ATT at about 4:24am EST for a Space Gray 128GB iPhone 6+ w/ Grandfathered Unlimited Data.
Order email stated 14-21 days to ship.
10am-Cabela's Club Visa automated call saying they thought the 500+ from ATT was fraudulent and declined the charge to call if it was authorized.
12pm-Finally get through to Cabelas Visa, rep tells me charges were pushed through; all is good. Rep also tells me they've been slammed with phone calls of people authorizing charges to ATT all day.
Log on ATT Premier (FAN Discount), and new shipping date is 11-9/11-27. WTF.
-------------------------------Saturday---------------------------------------
9:45am-Text from ATT (11113003) Order has been processed, will be notified when shipped.
9pm-Log into ATT Premier, Status is listed as Preorder Processing, date is still early Nov.

If the charges are still "pending" at your bank then it's possible they're still just "holds" that could be released at any time. I would say once they've actually posted you could breath a sigh of relief.

Not necessarily. I believe the charges are confirmed when the phone ships. I think at that point an order cannot be canceled.
My shipping date went from the 19th, confirmed in multiple emails/texts to the second week of Nov. I hope this isn't the real date it ships. Hopefully, with all the cancelled orders as well as a more accurate inventory levels, it'll get to me much sooner.
Anyone know if you can cancel your order if you aren't on NEXT, before it ships? I'm thinking about walking in to the store on Friday (getting in line hours before it opens) to get the one I want.

I'm in the same boat, I ordered before 3 iPhone 6+ 128gb, before 3am EST time. I even got my first confirmation at 3:17am. All the 6+'s are reporting. 11/9-11/27.
My account is a business account, so I was forced to use premier. This is obviously how ATT treats there business clients. I'm so pissed at them I am ready to take my business back to Verizon. I've been with AT&T since the iPhone Original.

I only got the one message, and it was the more detailed message with the order number and all that. Not the one you and most others got. I did order at 2:45 EST and my range is 10/2-10/13.
Order finally processed
I ordered at noon today CST on the AT&T website. I got a confirmation email but also got a second one saying they needed more info before my order could be processed. I tried all day but couldn't reach order support at all. Finally tonight I finally got hold of someone at premier support and it took over a half hour but order is now processing.
I have one iPhone 6 (silver) 16 GB on the way--delivery 9/23-10/2
For some reason I had to confirm where I have lived in the past even though I have lived at my current location since 1995. Odd thing to trip up an order..I suppose they wanted to confirm my address....

This is the kind of stuff that pisses me off, no offense. I stay up... order within the first hour.. and get pushed back almost 2 months yet people who order a whole day plus after get same month delivery...
How are your dates showing later than for me?
I had the email confirmation at 3:59am CDT and am showing 10/31-11/11 shipping dates.
