Yes, this years issues with AT&T are horrible at best. I pre-ordered a 128GB SG iPad Air 2 and it had a shipping date between 10/27 and 10/31. That came and went, then I received an email it was backordered and then one that said it was no longer available. Two days later, I got an email stating it had shipped and now I should have it available for pick up at the store I ordered it from on Monday 11/10. I have a tracking number and all. However my iPhone is another story. I ordered the 64GB SG iPhone 6 and that has been back ordered twice already. The latest shipping estimates had it shipping by 10/27. I DID cancel that order 2 days ago, and last night ordered directly from Apple. Apple estimates that I should RECEIVE it no later than 10/27 and that is taking shipping times into account. The AT&T estimate was just the shipping, not the additional shipping time added in. So hopefully it will work out that way. A co-worker of mine ordered the same phone, but in silver and originally had shipping in 7-1- business days just like i do, and theirs shipped in just 3 days. So hopefully mine will too. But at least I know I should have my iPad on Monday. UPS tracking has it being delivered Monday and the AT&T store is just down the street.
well yesterday was interesting. The iPad I ordered finally arrived at the AT&T store where I had it shipped. Excited to finally get it, I wiped out my iPad 4 that I was using as a trade in on the Next program (when AT&T first offered the Next program on the iPad, you could trade in the one you were getting after 12 payments for the newer model).
I go to the store and they brought out the shipping box, looked like it was crushed at some point. The box could easily have held 3 iPads it was so big.
The AT&T rep opened the box and the iPad box inside was undamaged, so all was good. He opens up the iPad and I see a silver/white iPad, not the space grey/black that I ordered. Somehow, not surprisingly AT&T screwed up the order again. After confirming that it was at least the 128GB Cellular model that I wanted I decided to keep the silver/white model. It will be my first white device.
After using the device a few hours now, I am beginning to like the white more than I thought. It certainly will open up the available colors I will be able to get for it. For the Space Grey/Black I felt the only Covers from Apple that would look good would be the Black or Product Red. Now just about any color will go good with it and I am leaning to the Midnight Blue or Olive Brown. Still not sure though of which color cover, but I'll get one of those Thursday when I get paid.

I received my iPad air 2 64 gig silver last Friday! I absolutely love it and even though it was frustrating, I think it was worth the wait. Hopefully, I feel the same about my new purchase.. Yes I decided to go ahead and order a silver 128 gig iphone 6. Supposedly it will ship in 3-5 days. We'll see.
Still waiting
My AT&T order ship date slipped with an email saying the model and color I ordered was too popular.

My SG 128 GB wifi-lte Air 2 shipped yesterday. 26 days after placing my pre-order. It should arrive Friday. I will have the weekend off to play with it. Good times.
Arrived last night as scheduled. Totally worth the wait. None of the reported "flaws". Massive upgrade over my iPad 3 and my Mini.
