Anyways, 7 plus 128gb Matte black people - we gotta stay confident! Hopefully this afternoon we will all receive tracking numbersgood luck guys
unfortunately you are not the only one
ditto....starting to question my priorities
Feeling like I got bamboozled. Got my 6 release in the mail without much trouble on launch day, this is crazy.
Ive lost all hope for getting my 7 plus matte black 128GB on launch day. Never pre ordering from att again, especially if this is the process. ****
Woohoo woke up this morning to see that my ip7+ rose gold 128gb has shipped! Should arrive tomorrow by Fedx by 8pm.
Hello.. Long time (Camp 2 lol) lurker here. I just wanted to say for you guys not to get discouraged. For me, I ordered my IPhone 7 Plus 128GB Matte Black at 1:53am CST (I'm in Dallas) through the ATT website. The status went from 'processing' to 'preparing to ship' within minutes.
Around 9am CST today, I called the status update via my current cellphone and the text returned that my phone was back ordered while the website status still showed 'preparing to ship'. About an hour later, I received an email stating that my phone had shipped via FedEx and it will arrive by 3pm CST tomorrow.

FYI - Due to the high-value nature of the iPhone, Apple requires someone to sign for delivery when the shipment arrives. With the iPhone 7 launch schedule for a weekday, this might be an issue for those with working schedules, school, and otherwise busy lives.

It sucks, but when you ordered, surely you noticed the date being given for when you'd get the phone before ordering? Pretty sure it wasn't tomorrow, so can you really be mad at them for doing exactly what they originally told you they'd do (ship it later in Sept)?
Posted about my experience earlier today. Earlier this week a rep performed some kind of "override" due to a mistake I made when ordering my device. They cancelled it then re ordered it for me promising me a launch date device. My order time is next to impossible.

I've gotten a phone on launch day via Fed Ex, though it was through an Apple.com order. I've always been able to print and pre-sign a paper and stick it to my door. I've never had any delivery issues that way.

Silver iPhone 7 Plus 128gb, still no activity and still preparing to ship. My dates are October 7th - 14th.
This madness for a phone that apparently no one wanted.
Since I placed my order and received confirmation, the status was "Preparing for shipment" every day.
Today online, it shows "Processing."
When I call to get a text update, it says on backorder???
7 RG 128GB - ordered 09/10/2016 at 3:48:20 PM EDT - ship date 9/16/16 (every day)
I'm not too worried about it, believing it will arrive tomorrow. I imagine AT&T's systems have been on major overload for the past week. My biggest worry is having it delivered to my work BEFORE I leave early for the afternoon so that I can have it for the weekend!

I just talked with someone over the phone. She assured me that our spots in the queue for phones are the same and it is just a glitch in the system as the website updates orders to check quantities. Don't know if its good or bad, she seemed to think it was good for getting a phone fast but wouldn't make any guarantees.
This is not true at all. I went to 4 different att stores with the same question. And they all said that if they receive any stock it will be for people that have appointments or lined up. You may ship your phone to the store.. but you will get it whenever att or apple ships it to them. Check your order status online.. and see if your phone has shipped.
Same here. ordered the same thing and it says sept 23rd-30th with preparing to ship
Att Website is down for me
they're upgrading the site with a new look
You should be okay. That's my phone configuration too had the same situation until att called me to verify my shipping address then the text and email that it shipped came. Says fedex by 3pm. Good luck
