Using old 5s to add line to my AT&T for wife?

Still stuck at 10/2 to 10/13 like so many for my 6 PLUS 128 GB

Still Prepare For Shipment Status

Apple still reporting my phone as 9/19 delivery, but the status is "Prepare for Shipment".
I am wondering if they're waiting for that 747 to land in Minneapolis before they flip it to shipped or out for delivery.

Mine too. Happens every year since the original iPhone, and they always arrive at my door in time.
 
Just looked at my AT&T order of a 6/Gray today. It was just moved up from 10/15 to this Friday. Guess mine is on that 747 that came in via Alaska!

I ordered two iPhone 6 64 GB and they're showing delivery on the 19th...but...shouldn't they have shipped if they're supposed to be here on the 19th?

Someone asked about signatures at the door.

Apple usually requires that, but AT&T does not do that all of the time.

Apple ships FedEX, so you can print out a form that gives the driver permission to leave it if you feel safe doing that. You just have to tape the form on the door when you go to work.

I have ordered my units with the address of a storefront where they handle shipping, receiving, faxes, package signing and I even get a suite number for only $250 a year. They even notify me when packages arrive. Totally worth the cost to avoid waiting at home to sign. They even sign for heavy freight without a fee as long as I pick up in a few days.

Anybody got a UPS tracking number yet? I ordered a 64gb plus from Verizon and just searched the order status and it has a UPS tracking number. I also ordered a 6 at the same time and it has a FedEx tracking number. Also, when I click to track it I get carried to the FedEx website????

Hey cliftonrouse

i just received about an 1hr and 30mins from Verizon a ups tracking number for my
Apple iPhone 6 Plus 64GB Space Gray

When doing a search it shows no scans yet. i guess it on the dock waiting for ups to scan it.

Hey on a side note. As I wait for my 128 GB Plus, I found a AT&T store guy who said I could take my 5s and for $10 add to my existing individual 450 Nation plan. But as I dig (he said it was on web) it appears to me that this only works if you have a family share plan of some kind that allows up to 4 lines. In that case my phone bill goes up anyway, and I loose my grandfathered unlimted AT&T data. At least that is what I am finding so far (my wife is not big on getting a cell let alone smartphone but she likes her iPad so I almost convinced her for $10 a month take it. Now it appears there is more I will loose and pay. Can anyone who uses AT&T with their current iphones confirm this. The AT&T websites are as confusing as any I have found, hard to figure out plans and options and they obviously are trying to steer user to paying for more so they can make more money (surprise ;-) )

I'm so tired of hearing about so called "unlimited" data plans. Your plan is not unlimited. You are throttled at a measly 2 GB. You can do the math, and calculate the maximum amount of data you could use in a month while throttled.

You are being taken for a ride by continuing to hold on to that so called unlimited data. I know, I used to have it to. Then decided I needed to actually use my data, and didn't want to overpay for service anymore.

6+ Still sitting with Processing: 7-10 days. Delivers Oct. 1st.

Anyone else have this/had this and seen it change yet? I got my order in very quickly and was really disappointed to see this late shipping.
 
Not looking good for AT&T. I put my order in with in 30 minutes of preorders being taken last week and I now have this estimated ship date- 10/14/14 - 11/03/14

When I contacted AT&T they had this to say on Tuesday-
I apologize for the inconvenience of the delayed shipping/delivery time. This is due to our warehouse not yet receiving the physical inventory of the iPhone6/6+ yet. I believe we will receive them tomorrow and the orders will be reprocessed with the inventory added to the equation. You will receive a new invoice with the correct shipping/delivery timeframe. I am truly sorry for the inconvenience and frustration this issue has caused you.

Apple and their partners are logistical wizards - probably the best in the world. I know that it can be tough when the status of your device is unclear and the anticipation is building, but don't get too hung up on any of that. Every year millions of people go through the same games you're playing now and still end up with their phones on the correct date.

It'll be here soon enough. Try to enjoy it.
 
Still "Preparing for shipment"?

The Apple Store still says "preparing for shipment" but delivery is by 9/19.

Seems like I should have a tracking number by now if it's actually going to deliver by Friday. It's 11pm MT Wednesday in Denver, CO USA.

Is anybody else seeing a similar status / issue?

Thanks,


Edit:
Guess I should have read the thread first. ;)

Yes. It happens for me this way every year. You can check your "support profile" on the apple website (http://supportprofile.apple.com) and see if the new iPhone is listed. If so, there will be a serial number there. This generally means the phone is on its way, but there are so many phones being shipped that UPS is slow to update its computers.

Thanks - I have a serial number. I upgrade every year, and this is the first time no tracking number by now for me.
 
quick question for those that have ordered - preordered before: does the package come with the invoice or just the item?

Please let me know.

On the UPS website (and or fedex), instead of tracking by tracking number, track by reference number, and use your ten digit phone number. Billing phone number, most likely.

Wow, I didn't know that. I got the shipping notice today, but thank you very much!
