It always says the shipping date subject to change, Even with a regular phone purchase I believe. This is just to cover their butts so if something does happen people cant turn around and complain.

I ordered Saturday morning when the website wasnt slammed and I had the option to add it to my next bill. I dont think it's a glitch, I think it's just a new way to entice people to upgrade/order new devices. I bet there were loads of people who ordered and added it to the their bill who didn't get paid for a couple of days/week/or following month. When I had TMobile while I was in college several years ago they offered to let you pay for your device by adding it to the next bill. It allowed me to save up for a month to buy higher end phones.
Good to know. I think during the flurry at release time you don't really pay attention to those things. I don't recall AT&T having the option in the past to pay taxes on the bill, but in all honesty, I think it s a good move. Thanks for the input
Ordered a Space Grey 256GB Max via the app at 2:53AM CDT last Friday AM, just flipped to Preparing To Ship
Waiting for that! That’s about when I ordered. Same model.
Still in progress on a XS Max 256 Space Gray. Ordered at 3:05am ET.Keep hope alive, haha!!
Canceled AT&T again and did the AT&T Next 24 upgrade for the Space Gray iPhone XS Max 512 GB at a local Best Buy, so I am back to a 9/21/18 guaranteed delivery to the store where I can pick it up after work.
Does anyone know if AT&T shipments uses the early morning delivery like apple.com. Or is it just regular ups and fedex delivery time to that residence.
Just made an order for a gold XS 64 gb for my daughter. Says it’ll be delivered Friday. We shall see.
My series 4 cellular AW is showing between 9/24 and 10/1. I ordered it Friday morning around 2:30 a.m.

It’s the first time I saw this year as well usually if the card that showing on file is the right one I’ll just go ahead and continue but the card that was displaying I needed to change it so when I chose other options it showed add to bill which was amazing
I received my phone via FedEx last year from ATT @ 12:24pm on launch day.
My UPS guy’s route usually stops by my place at 2-3 pm.
So I think it is up to each driver how he/she wants to handle the extra load on launch day since I believe the are independent contractors.
Now I feel ridiculously stupid for waking up at 2am to preorder since I cancelled that order and re-ordered yesterday and I’m at PPS
