I was charged at around 9am this morning. T-Mobile's site still says backorder, and 11/10 expected shipment. Also, CSR has NO CLUE what is going on. ERT contacted some people and stated that it was in the process of shipping.
I initially ordered a 64GB. Added the 128GB thinking it would ship faster. Turns out the 64GB won the race. I don't mind. My downpayment is waived!
Oh, this is Space Gray regular.
Don't know if this is going to help anyone...
Ordered October 3rd, for a 6+ SG 64GB, and a 6 Silver 64GB. Wife and I went to the Apple Store at the Americana in Glendale over the weekend, and she got a chance to hold the 6+ in her hands...And now she wants to change her order to the 6+.
Called the 800 number and was told that I can't do that, unless I cancel my order and open a new order. I didn't want my "clock" to restart and asked if there's any way they can just swap out her one phone for something that may be closer to being in stock. After some back and forth, I finally agreed to place a new order and cancel the old one. As we were trying to figure out which 6+ would have the least wait, I was told that the 6+ SG 16GB and the 6+ Silver 16GB both are in stock and would ship immediately. After some back and forth texting with the wife while on the phone, I placed the order and now expect the phones to be in hand by Friday.
We'll see.

I was just scrolling to find you!
Congrats! I am happy! I hope everyone else starts seeing movement on their orders!
Depends on the route- my address must be closer to the beginning, as I usually get packages before 5pm. My parents on the other hand are at the very end, usually 8pm for them...

Thanks!! I am happy too! After near panic of checking ALL day on the UPS site and no movement.
Scheduled to arrive 11/5, but still says ups ground? I'm just excited to see order processed and ready for UPS.Depends on the route- my address must be closer to the beginning, as I usually get packages before 5pm. My parents on the other hand are at the very end, usually 8pm for them...

Well I ordered a 128GB as well with Next Day Air, but I am about to cancel that.
My 64GB is Ground, but it arrives tomorrow because I live in TN. Literally a few hours from the warehouse. If I could, I would've driven to the warehouse and collect my device. lol
So I've had mine for a week today and they shut off my service because I had an "overdue" balance of $11. It actually wasn't even activated until Wednesday because of some of their errors so this was pretty surprising. If I didn't have a second phone with me I'm sure it would annoy me more but ah well. My first experience with postpaid T-Mobile and it's pretty whack. Prepaid never had this sort of issue.
Yeah, as screwed up as things have been, you probably got the overdue notice on your phone that hadn't even been made yet, lol!
If T-Mobile charged my card for the down payment price of the phone, does that mean in shipped?
Yes it could have shipped or they are preparing to ship it. Either way it's good news #
According to previous posts they don't refresh on weekends, so yes it should tonight
I wish I could get the 5S. Kinda silly that they offered to replace my 5C with a 5S (because they had no 5C's on hand, only 8GB). So they Next Day'd me a 5S. That was...Oct 24th, and on Oct 30th the status was updated to "backordered", and that's all it's been since.
Seems like the epic #tmogate is finally over for most of you that ordered in September. I know a handful are still waiting but watching everyone else get there cards charged and or hearing their phone shipped should give you hope. Don't lose your excitement to receive your phone cuz no matter how long the wait it'll be worth every penny you pay for it.

And to think in one year from now when 6s/6+s comes out we'll all be in the same boat again lol. Those of you that ordered in October and now in November don't get too upset cuz with the way the phones are shipping you may not have to wait as long as some of those that preordered the first day they could. I know I can't complain with getting a phone within 3weeks of my original order, 1day after switching my order to the 128gb.
Original order: 6+ 64gb silver
Ordered: 10/14
Expected shipping date: 11/25
Changed order on 10/30
Ordered: 6+ 128gb gold
Delivered: 10/31

So... now both my 64GB and 128GB are arriving today. I said whichever one arrived first, I would keep. Now I have no clue which I want to keep Got $130 in credit so far. Gonna be a tough decision

Are they the same color? What do you plan on using your phone for primarily? That could determine which one is the one to go with. I'm using mine for photography primarily, which is why I kept the 128 instead of going back to the 64gb.
