Almost the same EXACT thing happened to me last year. Ordered a 6S Plus Gold, went to sign the EIP and the guy put in an order for the damn 6 Plus Gold, the EXACT phone I already had! Took me almost 24 hours to get it straightened out and I "lost" my place at the front of the "line" for first shipments.
Tbh I was on the fence about which black I wanted, so I'm not too mad about it. Maybe it was a sign lol. Looks more classy anyway. I'd be livid if I was sent a 7 oppose to a 7+ though lol

So i placed an online order at 258 i got the first EIP email. I havent gotten a confirmation one yet. When i went to submit order the screen froze and gave me and error. I tried again and screen stayed dim after minutes of the rolling circle. So i called told him what happened and gave him the order number i got. He said he sees the order and it went through and i wont be charged until it ships. Can anyone confirm this? Or is my leg being pulled and im about to get screwed??
I got this as well "Won't charge until shipped" :)

QUESTION!!

How much did you guys who purchased the one end up having to pay right now? Upfront.

I totally forgot to think about the taxes + sim card fee upfront, and only have about $35 dollars in my checking account.

Damn!

I think T-Mobile and the rest of the carriers have their own set-aside stock.
I'm sure they do, just commenting more on overall demand or first indication of supply constraints. I was cruising the Apple website checking on other models and they're pretty much all starting to slip past the 16th already.

Got it in! 128 Black 7+. It says shipping 9/19-9/26.
Where do you see a shipping date? Online? My rep said I'd have it by the 18th which is weird lol
