Just had a Tmo rep tell me that the iPhones that they will have in store will be reserved for those who pre ordered in store and that i may not get one if i go on launch day??? This doesn't sound right to me… has anyone else heard this?

It would be good news for me I preordered in Store but I highly doubt this is true because we all paid for shipping.
 
"Estimated delivery" moved back for a fourth time today. It's moved back by a day every day since Friday.

Jump customer here, iPhone 6 Plus, ordered 2 p.m. Friday.

Estimated delivery was 9/20, then 9/21 the next day, then 9/22 the day after that. Now it's 9/23.

I think I figured it out: They put orders in as "delivered X days out" into their system, and each day once T-Mo reaches its shipping deadline for the day the computer realizes it's not going out today so it adds one day. Right?

I actually envy those of you without "estimated delivery" dates. At least you don't have this confusion to deal with.
 
Same here, I've never had a back order time stamp either. It simply just says pending shipment.

I like to think that's because we're first in line.

My best estimate is that: if you have a backordered time-stamp, you didn't make it into the first round draft pick. If your status is simply showing Backordered, but it doesn't say "Backordered at...", then you're in the Manziel camp, and will get your phones on time! (I could just be talking cr*p though!)

I think the Backordered status means they simply just don't have it in stock yet (obviously). But a Backordered timestamp means: hold shipment until further notice

Everyone just let's give it a try use the phone number you upgraded with the country and ship to zip on the UPS track by reference. post your results when you do it. It doesn't hurt to try.
 
How come when I check my order status on my phone It only shows half the page? I can't see the status. This is the link I'm using.

http://secure-checkout.t-mobile.com/orderstatus

Well I figured out a way to kind of check it. I just highlighted the entire page and hit copy. Even the side that was showing blank. I then pasted it to my notes and I was able to see in text only the order status. I placed my order around 7:30a.m. Eastern time. And it just shows order placed. No shipping dates.
 
I don't get it.

I upgraded my phone at 7:30am EST and had the EIP Signed by 8:10am EST (5:10am PST). This was over the phone order. My order is ups ground and has NO delivery date. It says Order Places - Backordered.

What am I missing? I ordered way ahead of a lot of people but they seem to have a delivery date...

If you're from Brazil and you live in Brazil you should just wait until you get back there (granted you'll be back there soon) and do it there. I believe I might have had a couple issues bringing one of the first 3G iPads back from the USA to the UK because I used a different sim and what not. Not worth screwing something up.

Then again I don't know too much about this subject, hopefully someone else will chime in.

thks Ashf0rd. LOL :D:D

Certainly that I will return as soon, I will enjoy my vacation at Disney (third time). But if I could I would have asked my transfer job occupation to USA.

Live in Brazil is staying each day more hard. :(
 
I just spoke to yet another rep from T Mobile. He seemed to know what was going on. He did confirm that phones were not being shipped out until release date. Or at least that's when they will go out of being back ordered. He did say if you ordered on the 12th, jump or not, you will most definitely be in the first order of phones.


Even kind of late at about 645 PM Central Time? I hope it's true.

I'm in the exact same boat almost to a tee on the times. I did mine online. Mine just shows order placed. It doesn't say backordered.

"UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Verify your information and try again."
 
Well I had an estimated delivery date of 9/20 and now it's gone :(
Guess it finally saw I was Backordered and took off my Estimated delivery date :(

The only place I could get an est delivery date was by calling 1 800 672 5390 (automated #). Every individual I talked to said they did not know when the phone would arrive.
 
Made an account just to say this.

If you have Chrome or some other browser that could check the source of a site then right click where it says Delivery Method and "Inspect Element". I noticed that under the "orderDetailsEstDelDate" it says that delivery date that I once had before it was removed some hours ago. This probably only works for the people that had a delivery date before.

They just updated the display to none on the coding.

Hope that made sense.

I ordered two minutes after you at 4:54AM. The page in which I check my order doesn't mark my order as backordered but when I call the automated order checker it does mark it as backordered. Don't think thats the case unless the cutoff is about 4:53AM.
