Ordered my phone at 1AM Pacific direct from Verizon. I'm glad I did because now they are gone! When I ordered the Deliver By date showed 9/19 on the model I got but I still haven't received a confirmation email yet, 15 hours later. Bit worried. The online order check shows they received it though and it is processing. I wanted Space Gray but Silver is still awesome!

I was able to put in my order a couple of minutes early from at&t. I had a confirmation email by 1:57am here in Chicago time. It processed my order and confirmed it but I accidentally messed up on the name on the crdit card and they sent me a email like 2 hours later letting me know. Called in the morning and fixed the problem, now my order is giving me a Oct 13 shipping date after i had it for Sep 19th. The operator said i wouldn't lose the spot beforehand, i called again and another operator told me i didnt lose my spot and should disregard the Oct 13 estimated date. The order does say "preparing to ship" hopefully theyre right. I got a different type of confirmation number which starts with "EXTPB" which supposedly means Expedited Premier so it seems like its true. 
Lol.. Same!! When the cases screen came up I thought about adding one. But at that point I didn't want any other errors coming up. So I just went straight through as fast as it would let me. With most of my info on file already seemed super fast to me. Was not that easy for me in past years.
Ordered 64GB iPhone 6+ in space gray over the phone with AT&T at 10am CST, received e-mail from AT&T saying shipping date is 10/31-11/11. Hopefully I get it much earlier than that like I did for the 5S. Got it about a month earlier than what AT&T originally told me.
Ordered iPhone 6 64GB space gray starting at 3:04am EST via AT&T website.
Kept trying to complete the order but kept refreshing page like I was missing something so I hit submit a few times (yes I know that wasn't the best idea). I never got an order completed page but I did get an email at 3:21am saying my order was placed so at least 1 of those times the order went through lol.
Received another email at 5:07am EST saying "
Great news! We have your iPhone order and it is expected to be delivered on 9/19/2014.*
And now this is what I see

I ordered silver 6 Plus 128 GB on the Verizon website. Apple just said down for maintenance. Verizon was very responsive. I accidentally ordered the gray first and rushed back and upgraded the other line (didn't want to upgrade yet) so I could get the one I wanted and I will just swap them out when they get here. I ordered a few minutes before 3 AM EST and didn't get the confirmation until 3:45. The second one I ordered just minutes later and didn't get the confirmation until almost 5 AM. Both emails say delivery 9/19 but the order status on Verizon says "unknown" for the first one and 10/14 for the second, so who knows.
4:00PM/PST Pre-order placed through Verizon B2B Wireless Business site. 128GB Space Gray iPhone 6. The site says the deliver date is 9/19. The rest of the models say delivery 10/7 or later.
I used premier and ordered the same phone but at 3:11AM and got the same expected dates. I hope it does come on launch day.
AT&T screwed me
i just needed to vent to like-minded individuals, because my fiancé thinks i am insane.
i got up to preorder the phone at 3am (eastern) and sat with numerous devices/sites refreshing. i got through on AT&T's site almost immediately. apple.com showed no promise whatsoever. I was able to pre order the 6+ 64G grey and was done by about 3:13am. I stayed up till after 4am just to make sure apple.com never came around. it never did.
When i received my email from at&T (which took over 2 hours it seems) it said it would ship in 21-28 days. fine. whatever. there was nothing i could do.
then a "glitch in the system" (according to the at&t rep it took me 378642836 years to reach) cancelled my pre order on its own. i received an email notification about it at like 12:30pm. by the time they fixed it and got my order back to active, my expected date is now 11/09-11/27.
this is absolute BS and I'm really frustrated.
at this point I'm completely out of options. i live in manhattan so my odds of finding ANYWHERE to get it on launch day are shot. i would even consider taking the day off to wait around somewhere but i absolutely HAVE to be in work on friday....
any one have any advice? i think I'm stuck.

I did in store pickup for my iPhone 5 about 2 years ago. It was almost a month after launch so the crowds had already died down, however Apple.com was still out of stock with backorders of 3+ weeks.
The process of getting the phone is actually pretty quick and straight forward. They will ask for your license and order number. They didn't make me set it up in store, which was nice. I'm curious to see how all these people who preordered for in-store will have to wait in a separate line or if they can just walk straight in.
Woke up 2:40 AM EST, refreshed untill 4:20 AM, the website wasn't up, couldn't use the app cause I was needing the T-Mobile one, woke up hopeless at 7:20 AM, saw the shipping date being 9/19, freaked out, couldn't belive, ordered 64GB iPhone 6 Gold, happy as hell, can't wait for next friday.
Ordered on T-Mobile.com via JUMP around 12PM, 64GB iPhone 6 Plus Space Gray. Was told it would ship the 19th and it would deliver the 20th. I'm a bit nervous cause they emailed me "order pending" and inside the message it said "Your order # - for the amount of - has been placed. Your items should be arriving shortly". I also was emailed my signed EIP. They also had a $1 "upgrade fee" on my card.
I wonder if they'll let me do my current iPhone trade-in program for store credit at that time, or if they will be too crowded and I will have to do it later.
So I ordered my Black iPhone 6 Plus 16 gb at the T-Mobile store around noon. Initially, I had gone into the store at 9am, but their servers were down and said they would call back when they were back up.
Anywho, I was able to place the order; but have yet to confirm a shipment date. The workers of the T-Mobile store reassured me the phone would be shipped by the 19th, but I have no confirmation of it; and I really want to put my iPhone 5 up on eBay.
What to do?? Anyone else in the same proverbial boat?

Yeah 20 minutes can make a huge difference if supplies are tight. I ordered a gold 5s 30 minutes after they became available last year and it didn't ship for a couple weeks, vs. earlier orders that shipped same day or even a week later.
The 6 Plus is apparently more constrained than the 6, either that or insanely more popular (or maybe a combination). I watched when the Apple Store web site finally came up last night and t-mobile 6 Plus started at 7-10 days (arriving between oct 1 - 6) and only a few minutes later it was pushed back another week or 2 (3-4 weeks). They were going quick. (Though I suspect T-Mobile variants are in even less supply than AT&T / Verizon).
Got through on the app by 3:30 est. 6+ 64 pick up in store 9/19. I have never reserved anything to pick up in store. I heard they would have separate lines, so I am hoping I can be in and out pretty quick. I plan to go in around 10am when the initial overnight line dies down. Anyone have experience pre-ordering and picking up in launch day?
I've not been given a estimated shipping date, but rather an estimated arrival date (probably won't ship on the 19th, I'm guessing, but I'd love to be wrong). Just waiting to put my 5s for sale!
(I saw an auction yesterday that was a 1 day auction but had the warning that it wouldn't ship until the 19th... I hope that guy succeeds in getting the iPhone 6 he wants by then
)stayed up until 12 last night for T Mobile.com preorders to no luck, waited around for an hour and a half but nothing so i went to bed. woke up at 8 am saw they were up but couldnt order because JUMP orders werent going through. finally got a t mobile rep at 9 am, she told me the system was down. two other reps told me the same thing at 10:30 and 12:30, finally at about 1 the second rep I talked to was nice enough to call me back and told me the system was up and helped me purchase a Space Grey 6 64GB. I paid for the expedited shipping, my order status page and processing email both do not give me an estimated delivery date tho :\ but its coming!
