7 Plus 256gb Matt Black ordered 3 Oct. Got shipment notification last night. Arriving 25 Oct.

Can my wife sign for the iphone?
 
Weird stuff happening folks. I ordered MB 7+ 256 on Monday (10/17) with estimated delivery date of 10/31-11/7, and I just got shipping notification last night, and I have been tracking it through the FedEx website since then. It will be here by 3:00 PM today. My empathy for those who ordered WAY before me, and are still waiting, is overwhelmed by my anticipation of getting it within 48 hours of ordering. Sorry, not sorry.

That makes three of us who placed the exact same order on the same day, but only two have shipped. I'm not complaining, though, as there's a lot of people on here who placed their orders a long time ago, but still are waiting. Weird stuff.
 
Must have a new big batch to ship. Not sure how they prioritize shipping though. Must be using inventory method LIFO.

Yep. Mine was placed on 10/17 as well (matte black 7+ 256GB) and still says "processing/in progress" with est ship date of 10/31-11/7. I'm fine with whenever it gets here, but it would certainly be interesting to know what the rhyme and reason is to how they decide how the queue runs.
 
WTF's going on??! I've been on backorder for 6 days and no shipment notifications or e-mails yet. Anyone else having this problem? I pre-ordered a Jet Black 128GB 7+ on September 13th at 7:29PM.
 
So I ordered a 7+ 128gb MB on September 22 and have estimated ship dates of 11/4-11/10 and people have ordered phones weeks after me have either received their phone or have earlier estimated ship dates? Really hate I'm only getting this for the $650 trade in, local stores have had my configuration in stock all week.

Facing the same configuration and ship dates and of course no movement on my end :/. My local stores are all out of stock every time I look or else I would have gone there.

Apple and Best Buy have had them most of the past week in and out. Just can't change order or I'll loose the $650 trade in credit for my 6+.

Guessing its only the 256mb models MB that are getting shipped faster. Order mine on 10/9 128gb MB 7+ with shipping dates 11/18-11/28...
 
9/22 7+ MB 128mb, still no movement. I would love to do Apple Store or Best Buy, but don't want to lose my $650 credit.
 
I am just hoping to receive mine by the estimated shipping dates now, if lucky. I was told when I ordered on 9/19 they estimated Oct 24-31 but said it would come sooner than that....thats not going to happen.
 
My phone shipped! Hopefully this is a sign for many of you!!

Here is my timeline:
9/9: Ordered the JB+ 128GB @ 7:33 pm CT.
10/13: Received an e-mail that my est. dates got moved up to 10/28 to 11/4. My previous dates were 11/11 to 11/18. Also put on backorder on same day.
Today: Phone shipped @ 2:43 pm CT.
 
The only thing I can think of is if they ship in batches of storage size. Last week a few 128 got shipped.n ow 256 Seems like maybe 32s next then 128.¿?

How were you notified that it shipped? When I check *6737 I'm still in backorder .

I ordered on 10/8 I had the same original dates as you I got the email on the same day as that shipping was moved up and been on back order since the same day. The inconsistency is insane lol
 
The 256 GB MB Plus I ordered Monday just shipped this afternoon. Looks like I'll get it tomorrow. I think it's b.s. that there are so many of you who ordered yours well before I did and are still waiting, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't happy mine's on the way. Good luck everyone!
