Starting to feel left out. I ordered in the first hour and still haven't seen my 6 show up in UPS... :^)

Has anyone on here called the AT&T Automated Order Status Phone Line at 877.782.8870? Online my order says "Preparing to Ship" with a ship date of 10/2 to 10/13. I call the number and it just tells me by phone is on Backorder
Curious what it is saying for others on here.
Said same for me and also for a friend of mine. I think it says that for everyone.
Mine's not showing in UPS yet, either. They usually do these things in batches, so I'm not too worried yet!

64+ SG ordered at 3:10 am EST and mine is saying backordered through the order status line. Online, I have a delivery estimate of 10/13 - 10/22.
I pre-ordered an ip6 + through Att site around 1205am on 9/12 and I have an estimated delivery date of 10/31-11/11/14lol
It will update over the next few days.
I meant it in more of an idealistic fashion. As per one of my later posts - in the video game market, this is the way it works. If you pre order, you get one.
In the phone market, obviously not so much. I would like to think that in an ideal circumstance this is how they intend it to work. Alas, it's similar to the tootsie pop. The world may never know.
Maybe I missed the explanation, but how are those with "backorder" status in a better spot then "preparing to ship" status? Seems like it would be the other way around?
I have a 6+ on order BTW, it's status is "preparing to ship"
K you guys are taking this shipping stuff way too seriously.. I think it would be awful for Apple or a carrier company to open up a pre order window only to run out of phones within an hour or two..
I'd say if you ordered within that time frame you should get your phone when apple said it was going to be released.
My story is Midnight PST checked apple and att sites. I had to do mine through att since it was an early next upgrade but my dad's contract was up so we wanted to do his through apple site since it's usually more reliable based on prior experience.
Couldn't get att site to check for my upgrade eligibility kept crashing due to traffic. Apple site was not even open yet so I decided to open the apple store app and sure enough it let me order my dad's, but only the 128gb iphone 6 showed available, around 1210am PST. Got his done, got confirmation from apple.
I couldn't get through att site and it went down again around 1230am with the waiting in line page. But at that time I was almost through placing the order putting my card number and their site wouldn't accept it. Once the other window I opened on att site came back to normal and not on the waiting page I was able to go forward with the order on the other page I was almost done with. It was 12:46am PST. I got charged the early upgrade immediately and $1 as well.
By this time I also noticed my dad's line upgrade was done with a new contract date as well. I did not receive a confirmation email from att until 4:44am PST. I am a premier member, anyways, it said both order status and shipping as pending.
Just today Sunday at 11:44am PST I got charged for the tax I owed. I logged back in to order Status and it says estimated date 11/9 to 11/27 shipping.
My dad's iphone from apple is good to go for the 19th. Now I seriously doubt att is gonna take 2+ months to ship my phone. With the next upgrade they also said I have to ship the phone back to them within 30 days with a box they'll send me.
If you wanna go ahead and cancel the att order better for others but like I said if you placed the order within the first hour or 2 you should be ok otherwise shame on these carriers.. big time..

Yea....I agree. Bro is so 2000s
. I'd ask you if kids still use it nowadays but it would basically be rhetorical considering.... Everyone is high strung and I'm sure deep down we all know it's silly. It IS a phone after all. That being said, we all LOVE our tech and most of us went through the trouble (whether it be financially or physically) to have one pre ordered right away.Me having ordered at 730am est is one thing (even though that should still be all but gauranteed) but the people who actually got in before the official launch and got late November dates... That just goes to show their is no rhyme or reason to the dates assigned. Being human we all can't help but expect the worst though.
To be honest id rather expect 11/30 and get it 10/1 than expect 9/19 and get it 10/30 for example. Still it could be handled much much better than it is
So at the risk of further rambling...I forgive you both
(can u tell how far back my reading is trying to frigging catch up lol) I almost fear going to bed tonight. Tomorrow this will be 100 pages ffs.Those of you who are able to see your label on My Choice, do you know what the reference number is or if it even pertains to any number that we currently have? I.e. web order number, or order confirmation number found when checking shipping status on the non-premiere site? I cannot get a My Choice account because the address I live at is considered commercial. Thanks all!
What is your estimated ship date? So far nobody has an estimated ship date before 10/2 and everyone that originally had a 10/2 ship date went to "backorder", those were the people that ordered right around midnight.
This applies to the 6 Plus model only.
Just got a UPS MyChoice notification - checked the UPS site and it says:
A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status will be updated.
Checked the AT&T website and one order shows backordered the other shipping status In Progress. The package is 1.20 lbs so it sounds like only the 16GB is gonna arrive on the 19th. Guess the backorder is legit.

Yea I think TIM cook said on that interview he just did that they're projecting like 250billion in revenue this YEAR. Talk about printing money. All the while going on to say that they can fit every product they offer on one table. Who else can say that?
Also expected to be the first publicly owned company to be valued at > a trillion dollars by years end. Mind blowing.
I'm confused as to how UPS My Choice works. Do you use the address you had the package shipped to to sign up? I got to the step where it asks you to take a self-test or send your phone a code or something for security and neither worked for some reason.
Quick clarification: my 6+ originally had a ship date in the 10/13 group and now its "backorder". Ordered at 12:04am PDT.
The only thing that truly has me concerned is the anticipated confrontation should they try to delay my upgrading next year due to a late phone this year. Other than that, I won't like it - but I'll live if I have to wait an extra week or two. (Any more I might die though)
10/13 - 10/22
Originally was 10/31 - 11/11
I ordered the 6 plus around 2:20am CST 9/12
Milt: When I placed my order, it said " I my credit card would not be charged until my order is ready to ship" My estimated ship date is 10/2-10/13. But my card was already charged.
Demesia: Thank you. One moment please while i search your account.
Milt: is my ship date incorrect since my card was charged?
Demesia: For security purposes, can you please verify the name, last four digits of your social security number, and billing address on the account?
Demesia: Thank you!
Demesia: Your order will ship in 14-21 business days.
Milt I see that,.
Milt: If my order won't ship for 14-21 days, why was my credit card charged already. Your policy stated it won't be charged until it's ready to ship.
Demesia: Was it charged the full amount of the device?
Milt: Of course, why else would I be talking with you?
Milt: So i figured the shipping date must be wrong since I was already charged.
Demesia: It is most likely just a hold to make sure you have enough funds in your account.
Milt: I see. Are these shipping date accurate?
Demesia: Yes they are.
Demesia: What other questions can I help you with today?
Milt: nothing else.

Hey,
So I ordered around 8 PM on 9/12 due to ATT Next eligibility bs. Bottom line, I got the order in and the status online said "Expected Shipping Date 10/13-10/31" which I kinda thought defeated the purpose of preordering, but that's neither here nor there.
I got the text from ATT yesterday at 4:54 EST saying "ATT FREE MESSAGE: Congratulations! We have processed your order and it has been sent to our warehouse for shipment. You will be notified when your order ships. Go to www.att.com/wirelessorderstatus to check order status."
Today, out of curiosity, I logged onto my ATT account just to check where it was at, and it said "backordered." So now, I'm kind of in the same boat as a lot of other people and hope I get surprised on the 19.
Anyone else?
