was trying to order through the iPad apple store app and on my apple store app on my iphone 5s. order just wouldnt go through. Finally at 220am pacific time after 2.5 hours of bring i got my att 6+ 64 gig gold. but with the October 1-6 delivery date.
I usually get my orders through within the first 10 minutes. but last night was crazy. don't know if it was apple problem or connecting to att problem. it did have a hard time connecting to att servers, kept timing out.

Ok, so this is the first time since release of the original iPhone that I will not be receiving it on release day. I'm reaching out because I know there have been folks in the past in 7-10 day group. Based on the past, what can I expect? Has anyone originally had 7-10 that got bumped up to release day? I'm told that the phone will be delivered between Oct 1-6. Is this reliable? Is it typically earlier or later than the quoted dates?
Thanks for any clarification

T-Mobile phone was acting hard to get
My date for a 128GB 6+ says "delivers Oct 1 - Oct 6". My confirmation e-mail came in at 2:20 am PST. I don't know how people were able to order so quickly, I had my browser on auto refresh every 10 seconds and ordered as soon as I saw that the order page was up.
It was a frustrating night for all, but especially for T-Mobile users because while everyone was ordering the phone off the app, our phone was nowhere to be found on the Apple store app. Phones finally went on sale on the website, and who knows when phones became available on the T-Mobile website, I went to bed at 4:00 am.
I'm going to be lurking around the apple store come next friday to see if I can snag an unwanted phone. This will be my first iPhone, and while I have been impressed with Apple's service while buying other Apple products, this experience was seriously just AWFUL.

I finally got through at 4 a.m. EST to order. I had my computer, iPad, and iPhone going and it still took an hour. I wound up getting one from AT&T but never got a verification email so when I woke up an hour later for work, I went on and bought one (iPhone 6 + in silver 64gb) from Apple with the 10/1-10/6 delivery date. I'm hoping it comes earlier. I've always managed to get one on release day (even with the horror that was the iPhone 4 release when Apple computers wouldn't talk with AT&T computers).
In the past with iPhone 5s, my preorder was not delivered on release day and not till 7-10 business days later. I waited till the release day but it never changed and ended up checking inventories on the release day and was able to reserve online to pickup in store. I might end up doing this again if apple doesn't change my shipping date to the 19th. 
at Tmobile and Apple for this.

Apple Store App
Plus 64gb space grey ATT
I'm sure they will ship sooner especially with people canceling their orders to pick up in store, etc. There are many variables that will contribute to a fasting shipping time. I also believe with the preorders, even with a 7-10 delivery time, receive the expedited shipping at no additional cost. BUT! i could be wrong.
The ones who have to really wait are the ones with 3-4 week estimated shipping times.
Ill be checking this thread to see the status of everyone else who has the same shipping time as me. =)
...waiting always sucks

There was no Pre-Order with the 5s....You ordered on Release Day....So how could you have expected delivery of a phone you just ordered the same day?
UPS/FedEx is good...But they are not that good...
Yup same thing with me and I think that's a good sign that maybe our delivery dates is not definite yet.
Same exact thing for me.
EXCEPT I refreshed those stupid apps for 2.5 hours before getting this stupid shipping date. Kept saying "not available" although I knew others were buying them easily. Very annoyed.
I'm hoping for some good news, I haven't heard of one person on this forum that is getting a tmobile phone on release day.
Now I'm getting the image attached...

I think all iphone 6 plus get pushed back. Like everyone I had to stay up until 2:30am or so to order from Apple. Com. Tried all 6plus models with all carriers and their delivery date is 7-10 days. Pretty sad about this so I planned on coming to the store early in launch day to buy one.
This suck I ordered within 35 min of midnight.
People were getting 19s and they ordered after me.
Is this punishment because I got the 128+?

THIS HAPPEN TO ME TOO,! And I got a email/call from apple to call them.. I made a thread on this... Something was wrong with the order processing and my CC company

Same thing happened to me, why the hell do they have these preorders in the middle of the night? It wouldn't be half as bad if you weren't getting up on a work night for it.
Finally managed to get my order in around 3 am yesterday through the Apple Store App, the 6 plus 128 gb with AT&T in space grey.
Getting the delivery date of oct 1-oct 6.....Would ordinarily be angry at this entire launch debacle and the wait, but my birthday is on the 5th, and this would definitely be a solid bday present for myself if it arrives close to then!
Edit: my order status still doesn't work, but I went to the page that allows me to cancel my order, and it said the order was being processed. Checked my credit card, no hold or anything so far...
Edit 2: apple charged me 99 for the AppleCare+ and that's appearing on my credit card now.

Wow, seems the 128GB Space Gray Plus is giving many people Oct 1-6. I'm hopeful that it'll get bumped up, but not holding my breath.
I bet it had something to do with AT&T because I had nearly the exact same experience.
