Iphone 6 Plus order delivery

Hi all,


I ordered my iPhone 6 plus 128GB Space Gray on October 14th through Verizon (over the phone), it gave me an "expected ship date" of 10/31. I received an email on Nov. 1 stating that Verizon has not received sufficient supply to ship my order on time and they now expect to ship my order by 11/21. Another 3 darn weeks of waiting. Will it actually take this long to ship or is there any possibility of receiving it sooner?

It's so annoying because I spoke to a verizon rep on Friday (10/30) and she stated that it was now on back order and that it "should be shipped" THIS Tuesday, meaning tomorrow. And then a day later (saturday) I receive the email stating my new shipment date! Anyone else having the same issues?


Thanks so much

Which I totally understand, the frustrating part is being told one thing and expecting an accurate date only to be notified of a later date. I have read other threads and responses where some people receive their phones earlier then expected and others where they had to go through the process of re-ordering and given a later date. So I guess there really is no accurate time frame of when to expect the order.

I Had the exact same phone ordered with the exact same original ship date (10-31). When I recieved the "delayed shipping" email that told me it wasn't going to ship until the 21st of November I got aggravated to say the least. I went to this website istocknowdotcom and they show 3 Apple stores within an hour and half drive of my home. I called the Apple Store to confirm, cancelled my order with Verizon and came home this past Saturday with my new iPhone 6 128 gig. I think it may be a situation of high demand and Apple having a choice of shorting their own stores or shorting Verizon. They know Verizon (or whatever carrier) is going to make A LOT more money in wireless service charges than they will make off the simple sale of the phone, so they supply their stores first Perhaps. I'm still serviced through Verizon, but Apple sold me the phone.

I'd see if a store near you has the phone and go get it vs waiting another 3 weeks for a big maybe.

That's not a bad idea. I will call this afternoon and check it out. Thanks so much, I'm glad you are enjoying it. That does not sound tardish at all, I'm sure I will be doing the same thing lol. I absolutely cannot wait to get it in hand, it's like a kid anxiously waiting to open presents, that's why the wait is super annoying. I'm definitely going to be calling around. Thanks for they reply. 🙂
