Simply depends on the system they're using. Could be first come first serve. Could be by location, could be by alphabet or numerical quantities. I don't know what they're using.
Got a tip for us?

Man, after everyone else got their shipments this thread slowed down significantly. I remember a few days ago this thread would grow 5-10 pages a day.
I'll just throw in a small update: Check by reference on UPS.com yielded nothing, even after the six planes landed. So much for a Tuesday delivery and JUMP priority.

Good point. That one is going to the West Coast so I didn't count. Us East Coast peeps.
So that should be close to a million phones in flight.
You realize that the flight tracker is showing every UPS flight from Shenzhen to Louisville via Anchorage. These planes aren't just filled with iPhones. These are the normal UPS flights that happen everyday.
Fudge. Your right. I just did an airport to airport airline tracker. Same flights. So yup everything. Not just iPhones.

Ahh I guess I'm looking at 4 to 6 huh this is sad apple should have expected this
Got the same email from miss Mary Wallace:
Dear *******,
Im working alongside John helping him respond to every customer that has reached out to him for assistance with their iPhone order.
Thank you so much for being a long time customer of well over 10 years. We really appreciate long time customers as yourself. Im sorry to hear you havent received any information regarding your two iPhone 6 Plus phones. We have consistently working to fulfill orders and ship them out as quickly as possible. Our warehouse is receiving shipments from Apple daily due to the high demand.
A member of our team will reach out to you shortly and we will follow this through until you have an iPhone in your hand.
----- Then I emailed her again to ask if I can receive updates via my email, and she said:
"A representative will be contacting you shortly to let you know the process to expect in receiving your iPhones and go over if your email can be included.
Thank you again for being a long time customer."
I called Robo Lady and same answer. "Processed but not ready for shipment."
iPhone 6+, Silver, 16GB, Sept. 13, In-Store, non-Jump, no texts, no charge on CC.
----------
I really do not want to wait out the "6 weeks from the day you ordered" date, as told by the T-Mobile representative I spoke to. I didn't pre-order to wait 6 weeks!
(Status on tmobile website says backordered)

I understand this whole heartily, and feel with ya. Esp when you keep seeing everyone after you getting them or getting them rather easily in stores. Even I have to say why the **** did I even preorder thru these people. If everyone was in a order it would be fine waiting it out, least it would be more fair. They just **** the bed on this system they got.
I think I have learned my lesson from here on out. I am not going to pre-order anything from Tmobile on day 1. This is the first and last time. I would feel a whole better about the situation I'm in if I had pre-ordered a day or two after. It would make more sense in regards to the delay. When the HTC m8 came out, I just walked into the store and exchanged my m7 on-site with no problems. Maybe I'll just stick to in-store transactions after all.
So excited to just come home today and wait for the 64 Silver 6 Plus I ordered. I might be late but at least I was allowed to order it, haha.
I think all Jump! Orders start with an S. I used jump and my order starts with an S. Actually when I call the CS they knew right away I had ordered through jump when I gave them my order.
Anyone else just get this mag " UPS from T-MOBILE LDC UPGRADE not received yet. Updated delivery status provided when UPS receives package.
Got a UPS shipment notification, 3.4 lbs waaahhhhhh
same thing happened to me.
Just got mine. I'm assuming it will be shipped out tonight. It says delivery tomorrow. They usually scan once they get shipped out. Looks good!
Well another morning comes and nothing! Not even a sorry we "F'd this whole process us up" txt! Lol feeling today will be just like Monday no movement. I'm starting to believe these 6-8 week estimates
Ya i got the msg yesterday that its supposed to be delivered today by end of day. Now i get that msg this morning lol
I have been lurking this thread since it stared and finally decided to make an account. Short review of my experince here, I ordered on 9/13 at 9am and of course was told I would not get my phone till the 23 or 24 which I was ok with. Then randomly got the Friday text saying I would would get it that Friday. Of course I found that sketchy.
So Friday comes still had no tracking number but had hope because others were getting theirs with no tracking and I'm at home waiting for it to get to me and of course I get a call from a tmobile rep saying we canceled your order. And I said why. Her response to me was she was unsure and then she said probably because the rep put your last name first and your first name last and resulted in it not matching your card . She then said she could reorder it right then and there but it would take 1-4 weeks. This is for the iphone 6 16gb gray btw. Then I replied don't even worry about it.
I go into the store on Sunday and just made an order there and was told by one rep there saying iphone 6 gold I wouldn't get for 4-6 weeks which I thought was ridiculous. Then the manager came and he said that's not true they are just listed as back order which means he said which could mean 7-10 days or 2-3, (a little odd). They also said if I had of came on 9/20 instead of 9/21 and ordered through them, than I would have gotten it by Tuesday. I ordered gold iphone 6 16gb and as I left they said I should get tracking info by the latest Monday. Of course I still have no tracking number..... FML
