AT&T Pre-order status

Sorry, dude. You still get the convenience of not waiting in line. Thus is the nature of preordering.
FedEx had me scheduled for an 8 PM delivery so I decided not to go into to work late. I would have otherwise.
Indeed, a small problem in the grand scheme. I definitely feel for those of you who won't have one for awhile yet.
You've got me beat! I'm rocking 2x of the same, currently sitting on expected ship dates of 10/2 - 10/13.
I've been really tempted to press the blue "cancel preorder" button on the premier order status page, but I'm scared that it'll be one click and *poof* back of the line! Also scared to know
if would actually let me cancel in the first place!
Best to sit tight and wait I think.
the demand is insane right now. I'm seeing them go for 1700 on eBay
Weird. I ordered from AT&T around 4am EDT after trying forever using the Apple Store app. It said 9/19 delivery when I ordered and sure enough I have it now.
i am on oct. 2-13 still... order sg 128 6+, at 3:45 central am, confirmed 7 a.m. through att.
Like most premier customers who ordered mins after pre-order went live, still waiting on shipping confirmation for 6+ 64GB SG with shipping est of 10/2-10/13. Still holding hope that i may get a delivery before i get tracking #'s and ship confirmation, I hear and see the UPS truck outside my apartment window so my ears and excitement perks up....only to see them just drive past by....sigh....utter disappointment....i'm assuming there goes half my hope as i don't imagine UPS sending 2 different trucks out at different times...FML
I am pre ordered 30 minutes into preorders. I've called att got my upgrade fee waived and a bill credit for the next 12 months. There is no way this was first come first serve. Still preparing to ship my 6 plus 10-3 to 10-12
Welcome to AT&T Pre-order Hell
I'm right there with you and have done this dance before. This time I actually got up at 3 AM but the Apple Store was down and AT&T took 30 minutes to connect as well. Should have waited for the Apple site to open. They give priority to their customers ( and Apple controls the inventory, not AT&T). Not much you can do now except make that fateful decision to cancel the order and then go to a 6 if you can find one at a brick and mortar. Finding a 6 + will be like finding a leprechaun. If you find an AT&T store with 6's available you can cancel the order there, but I think it might be harder to get it at the Apple Store if you have an existing pre-order to cancel. Best advice is to chill and wait it out and don't pre-order through AT&T again. They get lousy inventory from Apple for pre-orders. It's been that way for years.
Two boats
Congrats to everyone receiving their 6 today, especially if it's a Plus! It didn't work out for me, but after reading similar stories, I wanted to share mine as well..
I preordered a gold 128GB Plus on 9/12, somewhere around 2:19 am CST after reloading both Apple & AT&T's pages for what felt like a million times. The only reason I used AT&T's site is because Apple's site (& app) would never load for me & I had to get up early for work. Anyway, I figured I was one of the lucky ones because the upgrade process went smoothly & I received an order acknowledgment three hours later. The estimated shipping said 7-14 days, but I wasn't too worried about it considering I'd ordered from them several years earlier & received the iPhone before I ever received a shipping notification (the notification actually appeared two days after I received the phone).
On Monday, the 15th, I received an email saying that my order had been canceled because I wasn't eligible for an upgrade. Totally confused, I checked my account on AT&T's site, which showed that my bill was past due even though the payment was scheduled to go thru the same day, which it did within the hour. I tried the live chat function (no one had "the information necessary to help me") & ended up having to call customer service several times throughout the morning until I finally got thru. I was told the iPhone I had ordered was "one of, if not the hardest version to get" - big woop - & that my order could not be reinstated because the status had officially been changed to "cancelled", even though it still said "pending" when I checked it later that day. Although the call was a waste of time, at least the worker was kind & polite.
Later that afternoon, I ordered thru Apple instead, which estimated 3-4 weeks. Honestly, I don't mind waiting; it's just that I was sooo close to *maybe* getting mine today LOL. My one question now is if this will screw up my upgrade eligibility for the 7X in 2016. Anyone reading this far in have any idea?

Here we go , my second order placed at 7 AM for iPhone 6 16G silver ( new line ) with premier arrived .
My first order for 16G 6+ Grey is still pending ( 1st order was placed at 3:12 AM EST ) and web site was crashing so i was not able to place my second order until 7 AM. note : both order's confirmation emails showed at my inbox at 7 AM.

For sure, for sure! I do have half a mind to sell our two if we do get them today. Haha. No clue how many of those EBay auctions are legit, but... Damn!
Not sure if that's true, though, honestly. I ordered my 6+ gold 128gb (same exact stuff as yours) at 11:58, which was a whole 3 minutes before it officially went live for pre-orders.
I got the confirmation e-mail INSTANTLY, and the PDF even has a time stamp saying 11:58PM on the 11th. I didn't get mine today either, and it says 10/02-10/13 delivery
Dumb. I'm ok with it though since my case won't arrive until next week anyway, thus meaning I wouldn't use my phone until next week anyway, but still..
Yeah, its not right when people who have placed orders AFTER someone else but get theirs before. -_-*
