Of Course they will.
You sold a $100-130 device for $215.
What do you really think will happen?
If I was you I wouldn't even bother cause you will go through a lot, they might return back your phone but instead send you an empty box or a rock inside and then you'd have to fight ebay and paypal and prove that you're telling the truth and the buyer is scamming you.
Cancel the auction and refund the buyer.
Try selling it locally on CL or put it in Swappa.
Avoid Ebay like a toothless drugged up prostitute on the corner of the street.
You been warned.

Exactly. It's a little bit ridiculous. No amount of calling, chatting or complaining is going to get your phone shipped quicker. I'm excited to get mine too, but it will ship when it ships. Sure I hope I get it Friday, but I have a 6S Plus that I love, so it's not the end of the world.

LOL. I get it. We are all excited. But, I learned a long time ago not to call a million times. I don't call at all. If I were on the other end of the phone, I would just say, "Oh yes, I see your order here. It is due to be shipped tomorrow" just to get you off the phone.

Sounds like apple might have dropped the ball on this release.. I hope i'm wrong. I wonder if they weren't expecting as many people to order them lol. Guess we won't really know until tomorrow, i'm still hoping for an early next week shipment!

I suspect it might have more to do with Apple perhaps pushing the release date UP in order to silently capitalize offof the Samsung Note 7 fiasco. They could've set the release back another week and had more inventory/more idea of what inventory would be.

Apple is usually very meticulous in their iPhone releases, even with all the hype and years of supply not keeping up with demand it's still VERY unusual of them to have units going on backorder even before their released. Usually certain models will sell out an hour or two after availability, which is pretty fast in and of itself (but again oar for course) but Apple online and all carriers had issues with the plus models AS SOON as preorders began. Best Buy only had about an hour of availability for plusses before they were sold out COMPANY WIDE, across ALL units accept for the 256GB Rose Gold. It's really a bizarre launch this year...

I don't call too much of a waste of my time.
I would rather be doing something else like learning about the new iphone or trolling a thread with other anxious people waiting to get charged

I love all the posts in this thread that go something like this -- just sub iPhone for Ferris:

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Lol.

I just got a text message from Tmobile for both of our iphone 7 plus orders.
Your T Mobile order #********** is confirmed and expected to ship between 9/15 and 9/20.
We'll text you a tracking number once it ships.
Credit card currently still not charged.
Anyone else got similar text?

I also got a text a few hours earlier saying we're ready to process your trade in for your iphone 7 order. contact us to complete the trade-in.

this is terrible its like why do we even pre-order anymore. Like all we want our phone first day and thats the point of pre-ordering but they are not fulfilling their part. Every year im like im not doing it and guess where im at now..

Preorder is better than waiting in line at the Apple Store. I've preordered both the 6 Plus and 6S Plus. Both times I didn't have a clue when it was coming until the day before the release and I got them both on release day. This time, I didn't stay up late and ordered about 10 am. I got a 9/19-9/26. I hope it shows up Friday, but I don't it will and that's ok.

I don't know why people are surprised or get in such an uproar over this. It's simple supply and demand. They are not going to initially make 10 million iPhones only to have 6 million sitting in warehouses unsold. However, I think they do an amazing job (Apple and the phone carriers) of getting phones to people as quick as possible.

I've never waiting in line. When the 4, 5 and iPad 2, and iPad Air came out, I went to the Apple store AFTER work on release day and got the device I wanted.

I think it's funny people order the phone they don't want because they think it will ship faster.

Unless your current phone is on its deathbed, I see no reason of getting all pissy about it. I just causes you stress and the phone representatives you keep calling stress. Not saying you DiokUnlocks, just people in general who are constantly calling T-Mobile.
 
A T-Mobile rep said my phone was back ordered and that I will have it between the 27th and the 10th... hmm idk if I can believe anything they say lol. Still processing

Exactly. They don't want to tell you you'll have it 9/16 and then have it not show up that day. So they tell you 9/19 - 9/26, and it will probably show up before 9/19 or just after. They want to set an expectation without failing to meet it.
