Does Back-order means it's will ship soon? I'm trying to figure out when my Mom should get hers?

Most of the people on here who have had their phones go to back order got shipping notifications shortly after. So, oddly, back-order seems to be good news! If hers is on back-order right now I'd expect it early next week.
 
Order placed on 09/09/16 is in progress.

Sooo I called at&t their ecomm department they deal with all the orders. here is the number if anyone doesnt already have it. 1-866-267-4510 i called because when i used the automated system to check my order status it didnt give me any info just a blank silence. i inquired about my order and they said that my order has been paired with a warehouse ID which indicates that the item is soon to be shipped. that's all I wanted to hear, I expect it to ship by monday and receive it by the end of next week
 
Typically, yes, once he status changes to "Backordered," you should see it ship within 24 hours (based on observing this forum/thread for days on end).
Thanks, I'm on T-Mobile. So I didn't know how AT&T Worked. I love my 7+ JB Model!
 
Glad I can help. This has been an absolute debacle, but it seems since Apple has released more stock to the main carriers, things have improved drastically. I really do think yours will ship either tonight or Sunday/Monday. I heard AT&T warehouse employees are working round the clock, weekends too. They seem to be really trying to get that stock out to the buyers now that they actually have the stock. I think you will be alright. :)
The problem is fed ex and ups dont do weekends do they?

They just told me the same thing I sure hope she's right
 
I've been browsing this thread for about the last 20 pages and have not noticed a single person ordering a Silver 7 Plus and yet I'm still here stuck in 'preparing to ship'.

I would have thought the less popular colors would have more success as my wife got her Gold 7 Plus this Tuesday after ordering at the same time as me. No Luck :(

Not a good idea to post your order number
 
When did you order

We ordered the night before release (the 15th) after an AT&T rep told us we have to pre-order to take advantage of the "free iPhone 7" trade-in deal. I know many others have ordered earlier than this and are still in the same spot, but I can't help but be jealous seeing my wife use hers every day.
