I got my call back after emailing Legere tonight. All orders placed up until the 19th have been automatically bumped to overnight. I'm still irked but after all is said and done I got a straight answer. This has just been one bizarre situation.

Did they say anything else?
 
Someone from the executive team just called me, and apologized, and informed me that the plus 64gb (sg) I preordered using jump on the 12th, is back ordered at 6-8 weeks. He offered me a credit to my account. He was very nice, but it didn't make it sting any less to hear 6-8 weeks! Especially when some who ordered after I did already received the device. I was also in the text and email 9/22- 9/30 camp! #

I'd be stunned if it was really 6-8 weeks out. I think they're just managing expectations at this point, having learned their lesson that they should under-promise and over-deliver. Weird thing is that there are now what seem to be three groups (oversimplifying, since model/color/capacity matter):

1) Next week
2) up to 4 weeks
3) 6-8 weeks
 
For a the Lurkers!!! Join the conversation. The thread is slowing down! Lol it makes waiting for the phone not THAT bad. Lol

LOL - ok ok ok. I have been lurking for a while.

Ordered 64GB 6+ Silver Gray at 9/12 5:45PDT EIP signed at 11am. CC charged at 5:45 for full amount, received email about delays and expect delivery 9/22-9/30. Order cancelled at the same time email arrived, funds refunded to credit card.

:/ The customer server reps say the order is still good but who knows really.

Lol there we go!!!! So did it get cancelled or not? Lol your situation sucks =\ see you need the thread! We gotchu w the moral support
 
According to the lady that called me from the office. My phone is on partial back order so I should receive it this week. I hope so because seeing everyone else with their iPhone 6's is starting to upset me.

iPhone 6 Plus, SG 64gb

Can you explain what a partial back order is? Someone attempted to explain earlier and I didn't get it.

Thanks.

According to the customer service reps it is not cancelled it will be charged again once the device is available and can be shipped. We'll see what happens this week between 9/22-9/30 as that is the only real timeline shared with me via email. :/

She said that means that there were batches that got sent out. So if you didn't receive it on the first batch that went out, when the second batch goes out, which I'm guessing is the 22nd-30th, you should get it. As in it's not fully back ordered for people who ordered them late.

If you don't see anything by Tuesday definetly try to get in contact with the executive office with Ashford (the guy on here)
 
For some reason, I doubt I'll get my phone tomorrow. The tracking info said ready for UPS at 5am today. Doubt it's going to make it here tomorrow with today being Sunday.
 
I've been lurking for a while now so I'll throw in my info. Ordered Sep 12 at around 5 pm central time. I ordered iPhone 6 gold 64gb for my lady and 6 plus 64gb space gray for myself. Got the 9/22-9/30 text. Received the 6 Friday with no warning from tmobile. Woke up to a text from UPS saying it was on the way. 6 plus has said backordered from the day I placed the order. TMobile executive called yesterday and apologized for all the confusion. She said they are receiving shipments all the time and that they are working 24 hours a day. She went on to say I was apart of the 9/22-9/30 group and that I should have my phone either Monday or Tuesday.

Damn well I wish I was atleast on partial backorder. I have a feeling these 16gb don't really exist lol
 
When I pre ordered my phone on the 12th, I would've never guessed that I would not have it by now. I was so certain that I would of been one of those people to make a status on Facebook or Twitter about having my new iPhone and posting pics with it. Ugh.

Awesome! Light at the end of the tunnel.
 
Ugh, seriously? I hope I don't get that call, were you offered an option of changing your phone order?

Was only offered an option to cancel, when asked what my options were, and I'm not going that far. he sounded pretty firm on me waiting 6-8 weeks though. He said there were some sent out texts, and emails that weren't correct. So I'm bummed...

Just an update since I took a break from this thread for a few days.

Iphone 6+ 64gb Space Gray. Got a tracking number email and text Saturday afternoon. Originally got the 9/22 - 9/30 email/txt. It was shipped "overnight" but because of Sunday I will not get it until tomorrow. My tmobile order status online still shows backordered and UPS Ground shipping. The phone did travel today and as of an hour ago it arrived in my city and will be delivered tomorrow. UPS My Choice gave me a time frame of 12:30 to 4:30.

I went to the local Apple store and picked up a black leather case for it. Finally back on Iphone after 3 years.

That's good. I have no tracking information, charges, and on T-Mobile, it says back ordered. So I'm taking that lady's word for it that I will receive it this week or all hells gonna break loose.
