iPhone 6 Plus October Orders!

Hey folks,


Just wanted to start a thread for iPhone 6 Plus October orders.


I placed my order for an AT&T version, 64 GB Space Grey iPhone 6 Plus on October 2, 2014 from the Apple Online Store. My order status is still "processing." I did however, receive a text from AT&T confirming my upgrade to a new 2 year contract. Is this a sign that my order is moving ahead? My supposed ship date is between Oct. 29 - Nov. 5. How are everyone else's orders for October going?


Thanks!

So, I received a shipping notification that my ATT, 128gb, Space Grey iPhone 6+ had shipped Oct 30 with a delivery date of Nov 4 (I ordered on Oct 6). I paid for 2-3 business day shipping which would actually make my phone arrive on Monday the 3rd. My shipping status went from "In Transit" to "Rescheduled Delivery" when I went to look at the shipping, which is either good news or bad news. Does this mean maybe they're expediting my shipping for the 2-3 day delivery time? Or is it getting delayed? Anyone that has their phone now and had this happen during the time their phone was shipped or if you have seen this recently in your shipping details -- can you shed some light? Thanks!

Michael_11, it looks like we're on the same flight https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS81

I got this from a chat with UPS:


Due to special Apple operating plans, scheduled delivery dates fluctuate on U.S.

imports. The date may continue to update until the package enters the U.S.

through our KY facility. Once packages are imported into the US and it leaves

the KY facility, the scheduled delivery date should no longer fluctuate. As

soon as we have more information about the delivery it will post to the web

site. you may use the "request status updates" link on the tracking

page to receive information as it becomes available.

I finally got one!!! Went to an Apple store, stood in line for about 30 minutes and picked up a 128GB space grey from the Apple Store. Used the 30 minutes to call into Sprint to cancel my order and reset my eligibility for my upgrade, Apple reserved the phone for me while I was inline and in store talking to Sprint so I knew I had one. Once it showed canceled in Apple's system they sold me my upgrade 6+. Apple actually does it pretty well in store. Ill never buy from the carrier again. So stoked I am not at the mercy of the shipping gods any longer. Happy Halloween everyone. I would hawk www.idevicechecker.com find one near you and cancel your order if you can. After an hour in Apple I now have my new toy!!! Good luck all; Cheers! And if any of you all listen to podcasts download and review Verbal Ham Radio.

Just wanted to post an update. My phone shipped last week on Thursday the 29th, I'm scheduled to receive it tomorrow Mon the 3rd by the end of day (2-3 business day shipping). My original delivery date was on Tues the 4th, and at one point my shipping changed to "re-scheduling delivery date" and I took this as a bad sign, but once the status kicked back in it showed they expedited my shipping by one day to match the 2-3 business day shipping I paid for. So for those of you that may have received the re-scheduling shipping notification, it's not always a bad thing.


I'll post some photos when I receive my phone tomorrow.

@Skott79, Congrats on getting your phone, the wait is almost over for you. I'm curious if your arrival scan in Louisville showed up over the weekend, or if this just all appeared last night? My status hasn't updated since Friday night when it left Anchorage, and I still don't have a delivery date. Originally the delivery date was Oct 31, then it rescheduled... then it changed to this on Friday night and hasn't updated since. I also paid for the 2-3 day shipping and ours travelled together out of Shanghai.

By the way, I got the super minimalist case "Air Jacket" made by Power Support as well as the Crystal Film screen protector. I highly recommend them if you want your phone to look like it's not in a case. powersupportintl dot com

The eagle has landed! My phone arrived at my office at 10:00 am eastern and I got it activated and restored from backup while working.. rather than watching. 🙂 Wifi, Bluetooth, display, keyboard... so far so good. Fast!
