i had ground shipping but when i looked on ups i saw that they upgraded me to next day air.. scheduled to be delivered tomorrow by 3pm
Same here. I was hoping this meant shipping/fulfillment was imminent today, but now I am not sure if charging means anything.
That's what I was told too. Got an email that said 9/22 - 9/30, CS told me "up to 8 weeks" and could not narrow it down further.
Preordered 9/12 @ 6:30 AM by phone.
128GB Space Grey iPhone 6 Plus
Existing customer, standard EIP / no jump.
So far my CC hasn't been charged, never showed estimated delivery... & I was one of the group whose status was changed to "Backordered 9/17 3:XX AM" today.
Got both the friday text and email earlier, status hasn't changed on tmobile.com or the automated line, nor can I track my phone number on UPS.com. Interesting.

I really don't like how things aren't being consistent, some people who manage to get UPS to show tracking information haven't even gotten any notifications from t-mobile, yet some who have gotten those t-mobile notifications haven't been able to look up UPS reference tracking. Countless reps today, pretty much all with different stories - I'm really disappointed with t-mobile.
Lol at some people screaming to the heavens that they are going to switch providers due to the mishandling of a phone preorder.
I get it, you're upset... but to say that T-Mo is "inept and immoral" is just cringe-worthy stupid.
With that said, WHERE THE HELL IS MY TRACKING INFO, LEGERE!!!???

I ordered mine 3am PST and I got a email and text saying it'll be here Friday and they charged my debit card
Can anyone confirm if the texts, and emails they sent out today are reliable? Too many different stories! lol
I pre-ordered using JUMP Friday afternoon. My order on T-mobile's website is still showing backordered, but my credit card was charged yesterday. I also am signed up for UPS MyChoice which alerts me when any delivery is scheduled for my address. I got notified this afternoon by UPS MyChoice that a shipping label has been created by T-Mobile for Next Day Air for delivery tomorrow.
We'll see if it actually shows up tomorrow.

My theory is that mostly 6+ people got the text messages. I ordered about 10 CDT on Monday and have seen little movement on my order until I got a text and email tonight.
I do suspect the 64G versions phone is going to turn out to be the most popular next to the 16G versions. The $99 down payment and EIP is a sweet deal. So I think that is where there might be a short fall if any for the sat/sun orders.
My guess is everyone who ordered 6/16g from Friday to Sunday gets the phone on Friday. All 6/64G/128G and 6+/64G/128G will be shipped but there is likely be a short fall especially for non-Jump customers. I'd also bet everyone who ordered Friday between 12:01am and noon will get a phone but after that it's just what is remaining in stock.
If you got a text, email, had a CC charged, or have a UPS label in the last 48 hours I think you are good. My predictions include new customers as we'll and jump and non jump customers.
Everyone else I think it is going to hit/miss as stock is monitored and allocated. I do think that T-Mobile is trying to ship as best as possible. Keep in mind this is the biggest launch ever and no one expected it. Best they could measure against was the previous preorder weekend which was only 1 million phones. This time it was 4 million and no one, not even Apple seems to expect 4 million preorders even account for people orders 2 or whatever that they did to make sure they got a phone. Those same people do that anyway so that's not a factor in the over all load.

Are you sure it was a charge and not a pre-authorization?
What you are describing happened to me but they wert both pre-authorizations and not charges.
Yes they are. No matter what people say, if they are going to screw people over they can do it without sending messages. There is no reason for them the load the gun and point it at themselves by sending bogus messages.
Good to see our resident Debbie downer is still here.
Still holding strong to the claim that these devices aren't shipping until_Friday?
On a side note as we are totally on pace to overtake the UK thread as the largest preorder thread of the the sub forum...
In advance I would just like to thank T-Mobile, without whos complete inability to coordinate a preorder baffles even the simplest of minds, the CS reps who know less then us (most times) but yet we take their words as gospel, the guy who told us about Mailbox Innovations (which was an utter failure), and Lady Robot... Who graces us with "your order is back ordered... Would you like to hear this information again" will always be remembered. I shall call her Companion-bot for she stuck with us through the thick and thin.
