So just for the hell of it I called the 877 order status number and spoke to someone. Online my orders say "back ordered" but the person on the phone said orders have been processed and are just waiting shipping labels. I hope that gets some people to relax a bit.

That's what I was thinking, too. The Tracking number now says "Pending". The shipment date is gone, but I assume it is because the Shipment is starting effective shortly.
 
Do we have to sign for the package or does it change depending if you're getting it UPS or FEDEX to ship?

Won't be home Friday during the day, may have to leave a note or something.

Yeah I wouldn't worry about it. The website is totally unreliable. I remember when I pre ordered the 4s, it said back ordered the whole time and never provided a tracking number but I received the phones on launch day.
 
I ordered an iPhone 6 128gb space gray about 1am pacific, order id starts with 1012. It had an expected ship date of 10/13 to 10/31, and has now updated to 9/17 to 9/18. :)

So when the item ships, you can electronically tell them to leave the package, or you can print something out telling them to leave the package.

IMHO, the best method is to do it electronically so thieves don't know what is on your doorstep or that you're expecting something important (i was once a big city dweller where things were stolen all the time)
 
My 64gb space gray just went from 10/31-11/11 down to 10/13-10/22. I'll take it. I had ordered mine just before 4 a.m. EST. I noticed that my bank charges were originally $439.99, which was just the price of the phone plus the upgrade fee, and at some point yesterday it changed to the price of the phone plus the sales tax. Hopefully the ship dates are becoming more accurate at this point.
 
Ordered Mine and my wife's phone at 2:30 cst on 9/12/14

Hers 64gb Iphone 6+ silver
Mine 128 gb Iphone 6+ space gray

Confirmation emails did not come until 4:12am for me even though i ordered mine first and hers came at 3:55ish.

Original listing was 14-21 for both phones.. Then I woke up to find

Hers 10/13-22
Mine 10/31-11/11

Checked today

Hers 10/2-13
Mine 10/13-22

Both of phones were charged to credit card for full price and Status says preparing for shipment. I was a hairs breath away from cancelling when I saw this but I believe at the time of the pre-order there was no allocation of stock to ATT or if there was it was only what they had received.. Apple's dates were so good because they already knew there stock of phones. I hope and think over the next few days these dates will continue to drop for those that got their orders in early (1-2 hrs). Espcially from what I read that the majority of shipments out of China this week and in coming weeks are nothing but Apple products. As that Happens I suspect the dates will come wayyyyy down!
 
Good News!

Alright folks I just checked my order status today and it now shows a ship date of 9/17 - 9/18 which means I should have it by the 19th as originally expected! Now lets hope this first batch of phones doesn't have any defects!

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?

Just cancel the order.. Majority of the iPhone shipments go through Apple.. I ordered mine early Friday.. I had gotten a late shipment. So, I plan to take my chances on Friday. If I can't get it Friday.. try either Saturday or Sunday. Eventually I'll get it. Can't blame AT&T too much.. They can't control what they get..

Good thinking. Will do electronically.
 
When i ordered my iPhone 6 plus it said shipping was 14-21 days and now when i check the status on att it says shipping is 10/31-11/11 anyone else having this problem. i got my order placed in 27 mins of opening

Same thing happened here. I originally order my phone at midnight and I was quoted for 3 weeks. I cancelled my AT&T order yesterday and reordered with Apple. I have 2 - 3 week shipping now.
 
My expected ship date was showing 9/17-9-18 til last night. But this morning all the sudden change to pending confirmation? What's going on? Van someone tell me what's going on? :confused:

Did your credit card get rejected or did it get flagged for fradulent charges IE Chase customer?
 
Status changed from 10/13 ship date to backordered

I was in the original pre-midnight order group with a ship date of 10/13. Credit card charges, confirmation emails and text messages that device was preparing for shipment all came through quickly.

Today both phones are now listed as back-ordered

Check this site: www.att.com/wirelessorderstatus and see if it has changed to Processing. My Premier status went to Pending Confirmation as well, but on the WirelessOrder site it says Processing now instead of Preparing.

What time did you order your iPhone 6 plus?

Mine says preparing to ship.

Well that blows. Which phones?
 
I went from an expected ship date of 9/17-9/18 with delivery on 9/19 to now "pending confirmation." I preferred the 9/17-9/18 (I think?) but I will sit tight.

I ordered a 128gb 6 space grey about 3:30am after finally getting through on the apple app but stopped for being in NY which I'm still trying to figure out why NY'ers couldn't order Next through apple.
 
Once again, laughing hysterically at the people who cancelled their AT&T orders and re ordered with Apple. Ya'll would've gotten your phone on launch day! Bahahahahahaha!!!!:p
 
Thank you to the veterans who commented that this year was much like the years before and that once the dust settles everything would be fine.

My ship date has already changed from 10/13 to 10/31 to:

Expected Ship Date: 09/17/2014 To 09/18/2014

Most of us were getting all worked up over nothing. Granted AT&T's system is a little messed up but I think we'll be ok.

BTW I ordered two 6's, 64GB, Space Gray at 3:09 and 3:19 AM.
 
yes for the 6 +, i actually have a 6+ order and my shipping date states well before 10-31 so thats not true

By well before u mean like 2 weeks? Lol.

I still think anyone who pre ordered before Friday evening will see their phones the 19th. Their is no reason that Verizon would be shipping orders alrwady and having deliveries held yet att can't get any out. Especially with att being the largest carrier.

Guess time will tell. Regardless I won't pre order from att again. Shoulda used apple.
 
keep canceling those orders people, just got the bump up.
