Agreed! I ordered 2 6+'s, one grey one white in the AT&T store at 10am est on the 12th. They've been in 10/31 - 11/6 date since then. How can someone who ordered so much later be ahead of me?
He was originally going to buy TWO pluses but his wife liked the 6 so they BOTH got the 6 lmao. Didn't even get what he wanted.
I ordered around the same time so hopefully mine ships soon. Did you have an estimated ship date of 10/2-10/13?
It's not ATT or Apples fault that he didn't get what he wanted...
Lol "yeah honey, this phone is huge...TWO 6's please."
Is this the only 6+ Space Gray 128 GB Premier that shipped today? Please let me know. That is what I ordered at 1:30 pm PT after finally getting through on ATT site. I did the Next plan. Mine still says 10/2-10/13.
Your text message doesn't really mean much, and here's why.
Ordered wife and my 6+ 128 SG at 2:55am ET and 2:59am ET, 9/12/2014, respectively (those times were original emails upon ordering). Then, first shipping notes at approximately 3:15am and 6:00am, respectively (which CC temp holds at approximately these same times).
Interestingly, our original ship dates were hers at 10/1 - 10/13 and mine at 10/13 - 10/23. Through Sunday, 9/14, her order (the earlier) went to Backordered, and mine went to 10/1 - 10/13. Then, both stated and continue to state first half of October.
To your point, wife received text message around 9:00am 9/12/2014 stating exactly what you said; I never received such a message.
So, we're definitely in the "early October" batch, in spite of having confirmed orders prior to official pre-order time frame.
Finally Got It!!!
After waiting patiently and reading through every post, I was equally disappointed for for the screw ups of AT&T and their buggy supply chain. I placed my order on 11/12 and watched my iPhone order getting backtracked to the shipping estimates of 11/09 to 11/27.
I live in San Diego and just as I woke up today morning, I was casually browsing through the Apple store site and voila! Just out of the blue I found the the right iPhone config I was waiting for and it was available for store pickup today - iPhone 6+ 64 GB AT&T Space Grey.
I immediately ordered the iPhone at 8 AM and drove down to the Apple store after an hr to pick up the iPhone. Everything just happened so fast!!! I didn't even stand in the long queues/lines!!! Man! I finally have it and it feels amazing!!!
I also called up the AT&T call center and cancelled the order and the cancellation mail came through immediately! There are two morals to this story!
1. Never order through AT & T website and always go to Apple Store site (No Matter how bad they are at times!)
2. Always keep checking the online store with different combinations and check the apple store pickups early in the mornings... Who knows... There might be an iPhone waiting for you!
I wish everyone on this thread get their iPhones ASAP!

I just registered to join in on this. I have a 7 week old son so I did not set my alarm but he did wake me up at 4am so I preordered at that point. I tried apple which was down and the apple store app showed the phone as unavailable so I went with AT&T. I was shocked to see how long the wait would be. My ship date has changed for the better to the 10/2 - 10/13 date so many of you have.
I contacted a rep through chat today and asked for a refund of my $40 upgrade fee. I was told that they could not give me that back and then he wasted my time for 5 minutes checking my account...came back and told me that I have been averaging way under 4gb of data per month and that what he could do for me was scale back my plan to 2gb per month which would save me a whopping $360 a year. He added a big smiley face for effect.
I said I can do that for myself...but thanks for the offer. I have a 7 week old...no **** I'm not using my data right now lol. I'm sort of busy.
I really would love to have this phone by the end of next week!!!!

Yup. I JUST ordered my iPhone 6+ 64gb too, late last night. Got a ship date of 10/23. I feel bad for those of you that ordered on the 12th or 13th and still have November dates.

Ordered mine at 11:45PM and got an initial 14-21 day ship date.. Then it off nowhere it jumped to 11/4-11/11! Needless to say I was very unhappy with that cuz I would have tried my luck at the store opening day! But I said forget it and I'll practice my patience. Well sure enough I got another email stating it would be shipped 10/3-1012 and that made me happier! Well I just got a text with a tracking number about an hour ago and my phone will be here Monday!
So when I call that number it says my order is backordered but the website has claimed 10/2-10/13. WTF? LOL!!! I'll be searching for a store phone while I wait for AT&T's system to continue to totally confuse us all.
So after being disappointed in att's system i decided to cancel my pre-order . I realize more and more people are getting their phones updated , but same goes for the last few days and nothing for me so couldn't stomach another day of disappointment. So i just saw they had the same order in an apple store and decided to reserve for pickup. So unfortunately they don't do pickup for next program so i decided to get the 2 year contract buy which costs me $649 plus tax. I haven't picked it up yet cause they will close before i can pick it up, but does anyone know how i can reverse this or get this into the next program ? I had the money to bite the bullet for it but not sure if somehow im screwing myself over in the long run...any advice or knowledge will help...thanks
Yeah man many people have done this, returned the phone immediately and re do it with the next program. Takes the rep a little work, but a lot of people have done that today.
