Apple Store and the app weren't up until around 2:15am. This was even from Apple's internal network.
I was able to reserve a 6+ 128GB Space Gray ATT at 12:45am Pacific (2:45a Central, 3:45a Eastern) and a 6+ 64GB Space Gray ATT at 1:09am Pacific (3:09a Central, 4:45a Eastern). Apple Store app was most definitely up at 2am Pacific (albeit overloaded).

I don't think it was up on the east coast, it seemed like some people in California were able to access the store.

Not true. I ordered mine before 12:49am PST through the App and still got pushed to oct 1-6.
6 Plus grey 128.

I ordered space grey 64GB GSM (AT&T) at approximately 4:45am EST, thats the soonest I could get the app to work, started trying at 2:50am EST the apple.com site was still down. Estimated delivery date is Oct. 1st - 6th.
 
Got my order submitted at about 2:15am PST through apple.com (as soon as I was able to get through).
6+ Space Gray 64GB (T-Mobile)
Estimated delivery Oct 1 - 6

Just got off the phone with CSR, she told me there's nothing they can do to expedite, they're pretty much "stuck" is the word she used. She did say that I had gotten a "good" date, I laughed.

Case is preparing for shipment, phone is processing. Still hasn't showed up on my support profile

I'm not going to call. I figured it will come when it does, and I hope the past repeats itself and we get earlier dates.

it's amazing that after 1.5 hours, so many of our phones dropped 2 weeks in shipping.

2:00am CST which would be 12:00am PT. The Apple Store wasn't online for most until about 12:20am. Even from the internal Apple network it wasn't accessable.

I usually don't call either, but then again, I've always had my phones delivered on the release date. I definitely won't be calling 5-6 CSRs with hopes of getting one to budge.

The issue with mine is that I'll be moving in October so if it ships too late I'll have to have the person I shipped it to hold it until November
 
Est. deliver Oct 2-Oct 7. Ordered at 11am eastern.

iPhone 6
128GB
silver
AT&T
 
I couldn't get into Apple.com until 3:20 AM PST (I sort of passed out after continuously refreshing my browser until 1:45 AM PST to no avail). Ordered the T-Mobile 128GB Space Grey and I'm stuck in the Oct. 1-6 boat.

I honestly didn't think there would be as many people shelling out the $949 + tax to get an unlocked version but I guess i was wrong.
 
One CSR bumped up my delivery date to 9/29-10/2. About 40 mins later it bumped back to 10/1-10/6. So I called. The guy I talked to wasn't very helpful and was just like sorry she shouldn't have done that, nothing I can do for you. I accepted that, disappointed. Then I stewed on my anger for awhile and called back and asked to see if there was SOMEthing that could be done and that's when the new CSR told me that what the first csr lady did could've screwed up my order and shipping and could delay my phone even though it's showing 10/1-10/6. Hopefully this isn't true. :-/

Honestly I think this could be true.

There are millions of people in queue.

Changing an item in that volatile and unstable que could in fact reset your placement.

And surely there is no mechanism for re-entering someone into a top spot.

You probably can't make changes without upsetting the sensitive and delicate system of organization for such an overloaded mess.

I don't recommend anyone takes that chance and I'm worried for anyone who did.
 
Ordered at 12:24 PST, Oct1-6 ship date, losing hope that it will come much earlier.

Wow, I'm surprised that you got your order through 24 minutes after it opened and still got this date. Others ordered MUCH later than you and got the same. :confused:
 
I've done this before with no issues. We are all in the same "7-10 business days" shipping window. The only difference now is the delivery method. Standard, 2-3 business days, or other wise.
 
My order went through at 1236 PDT and I am on this boat as well. ;)

That means the Plus supply is VERY small then. Zero reason a 1236 PDT purchase shouldn't be 9/19 with regular inventory.

I really hope they have ramped up Plus production by now. :(
 
Also spoke to an agent this morning, said he didn't want to try to expedite shipping, it could affect the order so we decided to just leave it. He thinks the Oct 1-6 is accurate and he would lean more towards the 6th based on what he is seeing. Who knows. Still hoping for a bit earlier, or going to have to try to launch day madness.
 
Oct. 1 to 6 Delivery Date Orders

6 plus, 64 GB, gold, verizon. Ordered on Apple.com at 6:15 am EST on 9/12. They put me on reserved because apple needed to confirm my card. I received email 2 hrs later to finish my order. They gave me 24 hrs, if not they would cancel my order. I got everything done. The delivery around October 1-6. I also purchased apple care and silicon casing at the same time. They charge apple care (status on my card still pending) but they don't charge the silicon casing because the email said the shipping will be on October, no date whatsoever

Shipping was in 7-10 days which means late this week and in to early next week all of us in the Oct 1-6 boat should start seeing shipping notices and large apple.com store charges on your card :p
