The Apple Reserve site says to check back after 12 am. Does that mean pacific time or local store time? Also is that just a general guideline to check the next day, or do all store's update inventories in the system at that time?
Anyone know? I am eastern time so don't mind staying up til midnight to reserve but I don't want to deal with midnight pacific which is 3 am here.
 
They were extremely rude and condescending anyway and I won't be going back to that particular store for anything.. But you did have to accept some t&c's before you could submit your order??
On phone with them now. There is something wrong with the "Terms" on my order too.

Customer Service has transferred me to the digital team that deals with errors on website.

Not sure if there was a batch of customers that when ordering for whatever reason (website issue) were not presented with a step in the order process and now we are in some sort of "limbo".

I'll let everyone know if I'm lucky and get somewhere or if my issue is corrected (and how it was fixed).
 
So I just got off the phone with att, they said my devise was assigned a warehouse id and It should ship during the estimated shipping dates. Stupid.

Ordered on 9/9 4:05am
7 plus 128 black
 
I called 611 after that and they told me the warehouse ID. Mine starts with "K00"...different than order #...
i was in a chat with att and they gave me a number like that and called in a PO number. i dont think anyone in that company knows how this shipment process works. all i know is if i can find a 128 or 256 matte black at my apple store i am cancelling this order. tired of being jerked around and seeing everyone elses order ship that order after mine

That att.com/tc doesn't work... I don't even know what you guys are talking about for the terms and agreements

Screw the warehouse nonsense. I'm with the other people in this thread who became successful in acquiring their phones. Let's give AT&T the proverbial middle finger, cancel our orders and go directly to Apple.

Remember, AT&T botched the ordering process, not you. But it's up to you...well all of us really, to take matters into our own hands. It's not going to fix itself, no, that's over with. It's time to take this show on road.

Yeah...she said the "PO number" was the same as the "warehouse ID" and I was like, "ok...fine, whatever..."
 
OK. So I looked into this a little bit and I am going based on the NEXT program. If you pre-ordered, you should have your first email that is your actual confirmation. Attached is your electronically signed NEXT agreement that has the terms and conditions baked into it. I see my name typed under the sig and says accepted electronically when you open the attachment. If you have that you should be good. If you are pre-ordering without using the NEXT program, I have no idea where you would accept the TandC's before getting to submit your order. Just trying to help people in a panic right now and going on my experience only. Check your emails. HOpefull this helps.

I definitely want to know how this turns out. It really bothers me that some reps are much more knowledgable than others.. I just tried to call and the girl said she saw no issues. But she tried to tell me that "in progress" meant it was on the way.. When I said, "no I don't think that's what that means" she proceeded to say "oh yeah, you're right, my apologies.. it isn't on the way. There's no tracking number."

Yep. That's where I am right now...except I am also dumping their @$$ as a carrier over this.

they couldnt tell me what it meant or what it was for, or how long it has been assigned to my order. so for all i know that was there from the time it went to preparing to ship
 
Yesterday I talked to a CSR and they told me the orders weren't first come first serve when I told he that people that ordered after me had received their phone. I told her that was ridiculous and she doubled down, saying that that isn't how preorders work.
