If you go to myATT it says preparing to ship.
I have the exact same screen as you do on my Premier website.
Not sure if thats an accurate way to tell. I say that because when I check my order through premier it says "pending" but when I check through the regular order status system it says "preparing to ship"
edit:
got beat to it lol.
Check through your att online account and not the emails sent. I have one order placed, but it has 2 order numbers and 2 different status. For some reason it looks like the link in the email is not updating the status, mine says pending, but when checking my order throughout myatt, it show prep airing to ship.
Mine does the exact same thing too....I guess it will just be a complete surprise when we all get our phones, lol. Maybe somehow someway they will just appear on 9/19!!!
For everyone seeing shipments through ups/fedex what order number are you referencing the one on myatt or the one in your confirmation email?
Try this
Use you cell phone number.
Here are the instructions that we used for the iPhone 5.

It worked too. I tracked mine all the way back to China using this method, when Apple didn't have any tracking info.

This is definitely not an accurate way to tell. If you click on the little question mark next to "preparing to ship" it clearly says "We're preparing your order now, and it will ship on or between the shipping dates provided"
My iPhone + preorder is being delivered to a commercial address and it seems like this service is not offered for commercial addresses. Is there a way I could look up my order without a tracking number that is coming to a commercial address?
Did you have to have UPS My Choice before AT&T generated the shipment in order for it to show, or it just popped up?
I just signed up for it BTW

Try to put your phone number or order number in the REFERENCE box
You don't make installment payments for Next until the phone is activated. And even then it probably won't show up until the next billing period.
ATT is garbage.
They lied to a lot of us. What can we collectively do as a group to show them this is unacceptable for a reputable company to do?
1.) switch carries (we'll end up getting the phones later than we are planned to get them now and other carries are just as scummy)
2.) complain (manager please? manager please? probably wont get us a thing)
Do we have any power as consumers?

Again, I wouldn't put too much stock in the "status" on AT&T's web site. I have three ordered phones and they all say "pending" but I know for sure that one of those is already out for shipment with a delivery of 9/19.
Folks, it's going to take AT&T a while to get through their backlog of orders. Not everyone's are going to ship on the same day. Just because someone already has shipping info doesn't mean yours won't ship in the next 4-5 days. As has been said many times, give them a few more days to sort stuff out...I'm sure many of you will e happy.
Ya i ordered at 3:01 EST and got 2 text and says preparing to ship then i called the automated att number and it says backordered my delivery date is 10-31 to -11-11 iphone 6+ sg and my payment has came out unless they put it back
I remember that this problem happened to the iPhone 5 and arrive on the day of release... I recommend you to wait to Monday or Friday (release day), there are many people canceling orders.
My experience is similar to other posts for ordering an iPhone 6+ (64GB space gray). Had to order through AT&T since I was using a shared upgrade on my Mobile Share plan. Ordered at 12:06am Pacific and received confirmation that my order would ship in 14-21 business days followed by an email several hours later estimating a shipment date of 10/13-10/22, then two consecutive order confirmation texts the next day. My credit card has a pending charge / authorization, but has not actually been charged. My order status is "preparing to ship" which, according to the AT&T website, just means preparing to ship in the estimated date range.
I had the same experience with AT&T when I preordered the new iPhone 5 two years ago. The phones were available in AT&T stores on release day, but they wouldn't let me buy one in store and cancel my preorder. Unfortunately, my phone arrived only a few days before the estimated ship date which was well after the release date, so I'm not holding out much hope for receiving the 6+ much earlier, particularly since even orders placed through the Apple Store are now receiving estimated ship dates in mid October. Looks like the earliest estimated shipment date anyone has received for a 6+ is 10/2...
Incidentally, I also ordered an iPhone 6 (not 6+) for my daughter through the Apple Store app and was instantly able to confirm an in-store pickup on September 19th. I would always order directly from Apple rather than AT&T when possible for faster delivery and a much better customer experience.

I preordered on Friday, around 7pm EDT...My estimated delivery date is between November 9-27...
Dang some people have 10/31 - 11/11 dates few mins after the site went live..
I ordered 6+ around 8AM EST and got 10/12 - 10/23))

Which also means you won't be able to do the trade in until... october or November when you get your phones if that's something you're planning on doing.
Personally, I plan on paying for the phone in full (either early or according to the payment schedule) since I think it's a better deal to sell the phone myself than trade it in for ~$340 in forgiven payments.
