What are the times do they do the processing? Like 7am-10pm Eastern time zone.

When I talked to AT&T today they said they process shipment information on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and ship Monday, Wednesday, Friday but they change those days for shipping daily.
 
The difference between my EXTP889980 and EXTP889981 is possibly 312 orders. The orders were 4 minutes apart ruffly. If that's true it's crazy to think that many order took place in 4 minutes.

Well that's great information to have. I assume then we're not going to receive any updates tonight, but Tuesday? And, that could occur at any time during the day tomorrow? I'm still annoyed yet hopeful this is accurate on their part. Thanks for sharing this.

You're welcome. It was shocking information to me. They said we'll all remain in progress and when they get stock in from Apple, they'll immediately ship out and it seems like they should have gotten in phones today, either process tomorrow or ship tomorrow. Which could mean shipping Wednesday. We'll see...

I wouldn't even go by anything they say. It seems like they do it all any day of the week. Wouldn't process shipping information be part of coming off backorder, which many of us luckily did today?
 
Any other 1406?
Got off backorder 9/22 at 10PM but still haven't received a tracking code.
I ordered within the first 15min on 9/14 this is so stupid.

At least you're off backorder. I ordered in the first 7 minutes, have a 1406 order, and I'm still listed as backordered. AT&T has offered no explanation and just diverts all blame to Apple.

I'm thinking of those that went off back order this past Saturday and received their phones today. It sounds plausible, though I went off back order 9/22 as well and nothing happened. Maybe I'm in the next group? So if I'm processed tomorrow and shipped, Wednesday would be my day to celebrate. Hey, at this point I'm grasping at just about every straw I can get!:p

WOW! No way, I am 1407 and I am getting my phone tomorrow. What the heck?

Any theory that the order numbers meant something obviously does not apply. Though it's been that case for awhile as a couple of 1406 orders got their phone on launch day.

Basically, it just doesn't make sense. Not even AT&T has an explanation (or a solution).
 
The backorder count going to zero could just mean that there's a phone destined for AT&T in China. The shipping indication might have to wait until the phone is in this country, and reboxed into a smaller package to send to the individual user.
 
I was only able to get on the phone once with them and she said she was "positive that itd be shipping around the 4th of October."

I still keep checking the status way too often just in case....

Lol


Same boat as you. I am hoping to get it sooner. Only time will tell. Last time I checked which was like 5 minutes ago I was still on back order.

Neat so my next chance in information changing would be Tuesday. *sigh* I am going to be let down like a high school nerd asking the most popular girl in the school and she tells him no. lol.

Waiting 4, now almost 5, days for tracking. Head is exploding... trying not to think about this, it is raising my blood pressure...
 
what part of the order number is it that lets you know your place in line?
Mine starts WX50015XXXXXX.

I find it funny people have been through 3, 4, 5, 6 replacements already and people haven't even gotten their pre orders yet. This is literally the most fkd up release of a product ever. Can we have Steve back please?
