I don't think this works. Mine said estimated delivery date 10/3, but today my order changed from pending shipping to backorder. But basically using chrome go to your order status page, right click close to where it says delivery method, then click the gray arrow on the left, click it again to show estimated delivery date.
Got a tip for us?

Can confirm. Someone a few pages back said it just increases by one day each day and that is true.
lol, ok guys. i was just hoping for SOMETHING. then again, i just ordered mine on the 26th so I probably have about 4 more weeks of roaming in this thread.
Orginal order for me was the 12th got cancelled by Tmobile for no reason. They couldnt get me a new order in until the 23rd because they messed my EIP up so were close to the same on order time we need to stick together lol
Actually, mine hasn't changed since day one but I still don't think it works, at least not anymore. My order changed to BackOrder this morning, so my estimated delivery date seems off.
I got my 72 hour call, same story. She did tell me I could cancel if I wanted to. Uh, why are you suggesting I cancel? Thought that was quite strange. Also said that they're filling preorders before stores get any stock. Who knows if thats true or not. Seems like it might be.
She gets very upbeat when she tells me that I'm already over two weeks into my 6 week wait. /sigh. I really hope it's not another month, as a very early morning 12th order. Bah.

Well, I got my 16gb SG+ todayAfter reading everyone's comments about returning the 6+ because it was too big, I was surprised by how not big it was.
Here's a little comparison with my iPad mini and iPhone 5.
YAY!!! You finally got your phone, that's awesome!
1 down, way too many more to go
I think that's true because the corp store I went to in a really busy mall over the weekend said they have received ZERO pluses and that preordering was the only way to get one for a while for T-mo
Lol just got called from the exec office, ironic as it they call me AFTER my card gets charged which means my phone should ship soon. Guy said he would call me back in 72 hours to check up on my order to see if i have received it or not
Add me
Two jump orders placed minutes apart on the 13th 64gig space grey In store. No movement whatsoever only bill credits and vague answers from ERT a guy named Zachary

Hmm that's kinda odd. T-Mobile close to my house has 16gb+. And why would they tell you to cancel? That's weird.
I'm throughly regretting paying for Jump now. I could have sold my phone, used my S5 as a backup while I waited for my apple order. I guess I learned my lesson. On the bright side I got the router and its AWESOME. Now only if I had the 6 Plus to utilize the router to its fullest potential #

Just spoke with an ERT who said Apple has been really slow with getting the phones to them and they are pressing Apple for more phones to fill all the orders but Apple is not giving them a number of phones they will send. It seems like it's just an "open the box and find out how many are in there" type deal. Still didn't explain why pre-order people are getting skipped over and no time table was given. Even though I didn't preorder, still bothers me that the pre-order peeps are still waiting. I would say it's mostly Apple's fault but still there's no excuse for failing on promises that get made.
I did find out that my 6 128GB should be here today. I hope everyone else gets an update today
Jump! pre order on the 13th. iPhone 6 plus 64 SG. Got the original "great news" emails and text about delivery on the 19th.
Contacted the tmo boss via email. Got a call back and a month credit and a few follow up calls including one this morning. These follow up calls are pretty useless since all I get is "I see your order is still on backorder but we are shipping them out when we get them everyday."

I can confirm this is true. I thinks it's hidden because the orders are dependent when Apple drop ships the phone and they don't really know what they are getting since they need all models to fulfill orders for the next few weeks and to build up stock.

They told me that the phone is in a warehouse awaiting packaging and shipping lol
Anybody know if the phones are shipping from tmobile (after they receive and package them), or directly from Apple? Seems like tmobile is getting them first, since they're sending them out in that shoddy bubble envelope packaging.

I wonder what determines whether they increment this date in the background? Mine hasn't budged from the original 9/25 estimated delivery date.

Originally it was thought they were being shipped from UPS by Apple. But based on later conversations, it seems that Apple is dividing the devices between carriers and others based on whatever calculation they are using, shipping them to their next destination, and then the carrier or whomever fulfills the order.
Never incremented at all - granted, the label was created a day before the 9/25 estimate. It's sad that we all have to look for and try to piece together scraps of info like this to get an idea of what's going on.
