I don't know that these are "finalized" shipping dates, but I was making the point that they use different shipping types (2Day, 3Day and overnight) to get the phone to you on time. Some people were noticing that in past years, even though the tracking email states "standard shipping", they received their phone in a Fed-X or UPS "overnight" box. Like I said, they'll use whatever shipping means available to get the phone to you on the date they send you.
just spoke with att chat. told me my phone will ship 9/24.
I was given 9/23-10/7 as the date range
hoping for earlier

I also ordered the 256 7+ Jet Black, but had issues. First saw early Oct date, ended up with "November." Fingers crossed it's sooner.
I would not trust that information. The website explicitly states that the credit disappears if you pay the device off early.
Edit: here's how it reads
If upgrade or pay up/off agreement early, your credits may cease.
So I guess there is some room for interpretation, but considering the whole idea is to tie you to AT&T for two years, I would be very surprised if they would continue the credit. I guess if you stuck with them then they would do nothing but push you away if they ceased it. So maybe that's their determining factor.

hopefully we're both opening up a new Apple box on Friday! was conflicted between the 128g or 256g but I just don't think I'll never need that much storage, hopefully I'm right on this one

I really don't think contacting AT&T about your shipping dates is going to help anything. If anything they're probably annoyed with people, and they obviously aren't going to tell you your phone is coming earlier than what you've already been quoted.
Save your time and stop contacting AT&T, seriously! lol it's pointless. Wait until wed or thursday for updates. At&t estimated ship date range have always been exaggerated in the past. Relax!
Family, there's two differentes dates in the confirmation email. One that says when they will ship the iPhone and the other one the delivery date that you will receive the iPhone.
In mi case; my shipping date is 9/15/16 and the delivery 9/16/16
So relax... they will ship the iPhone according to your shipping date.

Mine is still processing to ship, which is the case of most here, and we only have "estimated ship dates."

My AT&T confirmation email has no dates whatsoever, shipping or delivery. My order status email has the shipping window of 9-23/9-30. There is no other information about shipping or delivery.

This is nearly exactly my order as well except mine is only for a single Matte Black 256 Plus model. Same shipping window. Even the order time is identical.Order date: 09/09/2016 at 1:00:00 a.m. ET

I don't think Preparing to Ship means anything useful. This is AT&Ts description:

I'm guessing you got a ship date because you ordered the Rose Gold, which aren't in high demand. Most of the other colors, including both black finishes, had expected shipping dates right off the bat.
I was one of the lucky ones who actually got in and ordered before the 1200am PST launch. I am not worried about the arrive date at all, I'm sure Friday will be a happy day!

Mine is the exact same as well. Lol
This past Friday, I ordered a Gold 7 128GB for my wife that will arrive this Friday. I ordered a Jet Black 7+ 128GB at the same time that was scheduled for a Nov 11-18 delivery. I just cancelled the Jet Black for a Black 7+ 256GB and it shows Oct 10-17 delivery. Considering I'll probably use a case anyway I'm probably better off with the matte (re: sweaty) and the bonus of getting it a month earlier.
Also, AT&T Next is great. I totally forgot until Friday that I was able to swap out for the iPhone 7. I checked Gazelle last week and an iPhone 6s Plus 64GB is fetching $255... which is way less than the $400 balance remaining on my phone through Next. I'm glad I didn't buy the phone cash up front.

My confirmation email from Apple only has a range of delivery dates (9/27-29) not shipping dates.
Yep, that's exactly what mine looks like, too. Almost down to the second.No change in my order status for Jet Black 128GB, ordered 2:53 AM EST. I too was in a queue that let me in early.
I want to go to my local AT&T store on Friday morning to wait for an iPhone 7+ 128. I preordered from Apple at 215am on the 9th and was given a 9/27-29 delivery date. Does anyone have experience (Lately) with going to either an Apple or ATT store on day of release for the new iPhone+? (Don't care about the color.)
