Update: I cancelled my AT&T order today after finding the same phone at an apple store nearby using applestoreinventory.com. Called the Apple Store and confirmed, purchased, and ready for pick up!!
I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM ATT AGAIN.
Good luck everyone!
AT&T is utterly random.
Placed my order for a Silver 128GB iPhone 6 on 11/5, and it's out for delivery today, 11/7. Not that I'm complaining, but man, what a mess for a lot of people.
