Carrier iPhone 7/7+ AT&T Pre-Order Thread

Mizz.Ordo said:
AT&T didn't even come near a "first come first serve" basis for the preorders. Almost all the people that are expecting their phones tomorrow ordered after me. Yes AT&T never promised me a launch day phone and my estimated shipping dates are 9/23-9/30. I totally understand that and I'm fine with it. But that's not the point obviously. It's the fact that many of us were up on the dot when preorders went live and are still sitting in the dark. With people who clearly ordered minutes, hours or even days after many of us did and are receiving their phones on launch day. Is it fair? Definitely not! It's actually frustrating! This is my 4th preorder through AT&T for the iPhone line and its the first time that they handled my preorder in a messed up manner. There is no logic behind how they are handling distributions of the iPhones. But I will remain hopeful for all of us still waiting for something, ANYTHING at all! It would be nice for everyone who preordered to have their shiny new toys this weekend! But the hope for my mines showing up tomorrow is slowly dissipating....:(:(

[doublepost=1474001196][/doublepost]BTW, any PNW peeps get their shipment notifications or any kind of movement on their orders? TIA!!

Yeh those 9 flights landing in Louisville from 12:30 to 2am I HIGHLY doubt will make it to anyone on Friday. The UPS/Fedex trucks get loaded up fairly early and are out by 7 to 8am as I understand it. There isn't enough time to fly them to the various regions and unload and sort before trucks go out.

High possibility Monday for all of those phones though. If all 9 are loaded with phones that's anther million phones or so.

All of those flights from Anchorage will make sort tonight. UPS Worldport in Louisville can sort all of them extremely quickly.
Think of it this way - flights from the west coast (regular air cargo/packages), not will leave until 8-9pm-ish. It's about 4 hour flight plus time change, gets them to Louisville around 1-2 am. All those Next Day Air items will make sort and be delivered all over the country still that day, some even by 8:00 am.
Thus, those Anchorage origin flights will have no problem.

Okay, so is it still possible to get my lovely JB plus tomorrow? Sounds like a joke. :(

Well still, 2am arrival in Louisville and then have to fly them to local hubs, to lets say Florida. 2 hour flight to Orlando hub (hour 45 and runway time), so then 4-5am.

Unload in Orlando and somehow get all over FL to local hubs before even 8:50 to load the trucks?

Slim slim chance, but HIGHLY unlikely.

Thus, those flights will have no problem. UPS and FedEx do this every single day. This isn't even high volume for them. They will sort many multiples more packages the two weeks before Christmas.

There we go, that's what I was looking for...

I would still expect a larger number of orders being shown as shipped...but seeing that makes me feel more confident that I will not get mine tomorrow. Oh well, hopefully by the estimated ship date of 9/23, I'll have mine...

Mine originally showed a ship date of Oct 13-20. That's the earliest I've seen for the JB 7 128. I dialed *6737# around 9:40 this morning and it showed "backordered" - that was the only place I saw that status. Then, at 12:13 I got a text from AT&T that my order shipped.
 
Still no change in my status as well...

7+ 128gb matte black
9/9/ 2:50am ET order time
9/23-9/30 shipping estimate
"Preparing to Ship" still...
On the west coast.

That's what I've seen for most of them, too. Crazy that 8 minutes can make such a huge difference. I hope you're getting yours very soon!
 
Too much to read since I last checked around 4 hours ago, been at birthday dinner and stuff...still no jet black 128 plusses shipped? Mine is still preparing to ship, oct14-21.

So I just noticed something. I ordered my phone on 9/9 at 11:55am but this picture of my order status states that I didn't order until 9/10 at 12:45pm. Anybody know the reason for this?

I'm starting to think if you haven't seen back order status yet you aren't getting it tomorrow.
