Just talked to ATT - excuses galore - it's back ordered - that's it - no more info and then she HUNG UP!!!!!
unf..ckingbelivable

To be realistic... Apple is the one at fault.

AT&T can't ship anything until they have it in stock, I knew this was going to be a problem going with AT&T. That's why I chose to go with Apple instead.

But I do understand that customers would rather have it financed instead of paying the upfront cost. And if customers go with that option then there's a period of waiting.

I understand. I mean i get it. it's a popular product, but AT&T is one of the biggest providers, something doesn't add up. I did buy it through ATT because of this exact reason, to finance it and well since i wanted an LTE model anyway.

But here we are almost a month since i order and at the end of the day of the promised ship time and nothing. No one at ATT has answers. This seems to happen with every product i buy from them, i really should learn my lesson.
 
Just checked my email and my iPod has shipped but no tracking info yet it is coming via ups
 
I ordered on the 12th. Just got shipping notice in past hour. Not showing up on ups yet. My window was the 27th - 4th. SG 128 LTE IPP.

Now I'm hoping I can upgrade my shipping once it hits ups ... Please don't be ground...!!!

I think it's about to be a flood gate of shipments... They are using all the carriers and people with different order dates are shipping today. It's still early in the day on the west coast as far as shipping goes so stay positive.

I'm still plenty upset myself about the waiting; but I don't know if we can put much blame on AT&T. It's in their best interests to "NEXT" as many of these as possible, the accounts receivable would be a huge asset and the unpaid balance of the customers would also be listed as a loss in capital (I'm sure apple is charging AT&T full price). It's a huge tax win for AT&T. That said, they are very large, and we don't know how many thousands/hundreds of thousands/dare I say millions of devices they were able to order. Apple seems to fulfill their own orders with highest priority, which makes sense since it's their reputation they care about.... I'm sure there is some panicked person with AT&T checking the massive AT&T order for more as often as we're checking ours.

My thought, blame apple and only AT&T if they don't upgrade everyone to next day (and refund those who paid for it) for the wait.

I 2nd the shipping upgrade!

Quick update - my shipping notice was 645 pm est... So basically two hours ago at this point. Still not showing up on ups so they have not picked it up yet/haven't scanned it at their shipping facility.

I'll update once tracking info works. I'm a ups member so they should email me once a delivery is scheduled to my address automatically. At least then everyone will have an idea if today's orders are finished "leaving the building"

Has anyone had their shipping upgraded? (Ever?) by AT&T for a Apple rollout.?

I did last year (6+ 128GB SG), but I also got the ship notification a few weeks before the expected shipping date.
 
Hey guys... iPad order update:
Got the email update that my iPad 128GB SG is being shipped via UPS. I ordered Nov. 13th and had the shipping dates of Nov 30-Dec 7th.

I also just picked up an Apple Pencil from BestBuy. They only had one in stock in the back room. .

Wow, my IPP SG 128GB AT&T order also just shipped too... DATE ORDERED: 11/13/2015 at 3:44:13 PM EST. Shipped out today 12/3. Estimated ship date of 11/30 to 12/7.

I ordered it through my local AT&T corporate store. I think all the batches of orders are going out today hopefully to everyone for the 11/11 thru 11/13 orders. AT&T must of got a boat-load of them in at their warehouse today.

Stay calm, they are coming!!!
 
Man this process is painfully slow, never again will I order through AT&T. Thinking about just buying a wifi version on my Best Buy CC and then returning it when I get my Cellular version through AT&T. I was a late order on 11/23.

My earlier order was canceled because of "possible fraud" and I lost my earlier ship dates and AT&T wouldn't do anything about it.
 
Yeah... I'm in the same boat.. I ordered mine on the 11th at 6pm'ish EST... and I'm still waiting for mine to ship... Go figure.. so much for first-come-first-serve :p
 
Finally! I got the email notification with the the "shipped status " 50 minutes ago. So they did ship after all as promised.
 
Just got my shipping.. out of the BLUE.

Fedex. Will be here on monday. How weird that they are using UPS/FedEX/and USPS

Mine is coming with USPS but is still not showing in the tracking system... Guess I'll see mine by the end of next week!
 
My mini 4 got lost for a week and went to Puerto Rico before coming to Massachusetts, if that happens with the pro I'll return it and I'm done with AT&T
