Apple's estimates are fairly generous and are pretty much worst case. I have a co-worker who ordered a 5 when it was estimated at 1-3 weeks and she received the phone before the estimated ship date. Same happened with me on the iPad 2. I got it a week earlier than estimated.

Thats been my experience as well.

I'm in the same boat. Orderred about 225 PDT through the Apple store. 128GB At&t Silver 6+. Estimated ship date of Oct 1-7th.

I'd be surprised if our batch doesn't get to us by the end of the month.

Lol, I live in Los Angeles and shipping from China is quick. I think it usually takes just 1-2 days from China to my door. Ordered ATT 6+ 64GB Space Gray (got reservation at 1:09 PDT) and shows Delivers by Oct 1-6.
 
Nope, can't get into the order page now.

I ordered at 2:17pm PST, also shows 10/1-10/6 delivers BUT I got one which can be picked up at store on 9/19!!!!!

Tmobile Iphone 6 Plus 128GB Silver

The order status shows "Items to be Picked Up

Available 9/19. We'll notify you when these items are ready."




But I won't put much hope on it....Don't know if it is true that I can pick up mine at store on 9/19...


i don't know if any of you guys/gals can see your order page on the apple store website, maybe apple is adjusting delivery times?
 
I missed out on a pickup order close to me because I forgot to click on the "select this store" button!

ARGH

still can't get through, I think they're making other change to the website, check this out... It doesn't let you check store inventory anymore.

I ordered 2 6+'s @ 2:30 am with AppleCare for 10/1-10/6 delivery and received notice from my ccc of a charge for AppleCare only.

I ordered 2 6's @ 9:45 am without Applecare for 9/19 delivery and received notice from ccc of a charge for the entire amount of the order.


I'm not holding out much hope that the 10/1-10/6 delivery will show up early.

Yeah, it probably has to do with an overall shortage of 6 Plus models, sadly. They can't ship them until they make them. :(

My same exact orders. Lol
 
Everything is exactly the same, like I said before, I think they made other to the website.
 
I'd be curious if in past launches if shipping times were accurate or if Apple has a history of over delivering by setting the bar low.

This is my first Apple launch so I'm curious. I'm in the "up to 3 weeks" boat for the 6 Plus with Sprint.
 
^exactly.

Does anyone have stories about best case scenarios in the past of getting the shipping moved up?
 
I hope people in this thread come back and update us if their shipment dates get moved up. :D






:apple:
 
I have this delivery time frame, while trying to order at 12:15am pacific standard time i got the reservation message. This morning at 7:30am the 2nd email arrived allowing me to order. Estimated delivery date Oct 1-6th

Vz Gold and white 128GB iPhone 6 Plus
 
I ordered from the App around 3:45am this morning and got the Oct 1-6 date. I'm hoping they change the dates to 9/19 though lol.

Ordered the 6+ Silver 128GB
 
I was finally able to get through at 4:07AM eastern and got the 10/1-10/6 delivery range.

6+ 128gb AT&T
 
Yeah, I'm in this Oct 1 to 6 boat. It took an hour of screwing around for me to finally get an order through at Apple at about 3 AM Central, and then only on the Apple Store iOS app. What really pissed me off was that the app said 9/19 delivery when I checked out, but my email confirmation says 10/1 - 10/6. Dumb.

I ordered an iPhone 6 Plus, 64 GB, Space Gray, AT&T.

We all heard the rumors about potential contraints / delays of the larger iPhone model this time around, so even though they went up for preorder the same day as the 4.7" models, there are probably fewer 5.5"s to go around. So I'm not holding out much hope that my delivery date will be moved up. Never know, I guess. But as of a few minutes ago, my order status on apple.com still shows 10/1 - 10/6.

This'll be the first time I haven't gotten an iPhone on release day since the 16 GB iPhone classic in 2008, feh.

The good news (for me) was, it was very clear in both the app and my email confirmation that my AT&T grandfathered unlimited data and texting plans were coming right over, no issues. That really surprised me. AT&T frakked that up when the iPhone 5 launched and I had to call them to get it resolved.
 
I ordered an AT&T space gray iphone 6+ 128GB last night. Oct 1-6 delivery date (shipping 7-10 days). I stayed up until 2am refreshing the apple store app on iphone and iPad and repeatedly getting "unavailable". Very frustrating. Finally got the 7-10 day shipping to come up so I ordered. I did notice that the 16gb and 64gb had moments showing delivered by 9/19, but kept changing.

Going to try to catch one in store starting 9/19 and cancel preorder if I find one. But it seems that the 128gb 6+ were in very short supply so I don't think there will be many in stores either...likely a bunch of 16gb if anything. Guess we'll see.
 
two at&t phones:
6+
128 gb
space grey

finally got the first order to go through on ipad app at 1:01

got the second one through on phone it was replacing at 1:54
