"Order Processing"

[cc00lltt00nn]

So, my 128GB Black 7+ through Apple.com (started trying at 2:59am and completed at 3:11am EST) is already to "Order Processing", but my delivery date is 9/27-9/29. Of all the preorders I've ever done, I've always had an estimated delivery of launch day. Who has gotten their phone on launch day while having a later estimated delivery date? Sold my 6S Plus before prices dropped, so I'm rocking a 5 until my new one comes in I'm trying to decide whether I should cancel and just stand in line or try Best Buy's pre-order.

I've always been the same way. I don't mind waiting until 09/23. Just frustrating since I was in right at midnight lol

I hear it's a crapshoot ordering through best buy

Literally received my confirmation email 1 minute before 3:11 and got the same exact phone and mine will come launch day. Last year a whole lot of people that were in the 1 to 2 weeks shipping got it on launch day. There's hope!

It always has been. I would normally prefer to buy from them for the rewardzone points, but they are horribly unreliable for launch day stock. They don't really do guaranteed pre-orders, if you do it, they just print everyone's order out and keep them in the mobile department in a stack, and whenever they get sporadic shipments of phones, they go through the stack calling people. It could be over a month until your "day one" pre-order comes in.

I wonder if it's any different if I had it shipped to me instead of picking up?

I ordered my 128GB Black 7+ at 12:05 and have a 9/16 date and it's processing

I was a bit late ordering my 6 and had a non-launch day confirmation, yet received it on day 1... As Apple do try to meet or better their delivery targets, I'd say you're in with a chance!

Same boat here, hope we get bumped to release date!

I have 4-6 weeks here so I think I'm pretty much f****d
