Carrier iPhone 7/7+ T-Mobile Pre-Order Thread

For everyone checking package weights, I hear the black and jet black adds .2-.3 lbs, so if you're under and have a package coming they probably shipped you the wrong color by mistake


:p

Its probably the package type. Sometimes T-Mobile uses the protected baggies and sometimes they use the boxes.
 
Update 2:
Tracking on my matte black iPhone 7 128 GB now has an Origin Scan with a time stamp of 10:02am at Louisville, KY.

Gold iPhone 7 128 GB for my wife is still showing as "Order Processed: Ready for UPS" but I expect to see that change by this evening at the latest as the updates on it have lagged since it was ordered in sequence after the order for the matte black phone was completed.

Update:
I didn't note this in the timeline I provided in my initial post (quoted below), but I got a free T-Mobile text on Sunday at about 9:45 am saying that my order has processed and I got a UPS tracking number with it.

Then today at about noon, I got the exact same text again and for the same tracking number. I don't know why I got the same text with that tracking number again, but my guess is something must've happened to trigger the text.

While I'm not sure what it means, I figure that hopefully either someone might know or at least be interested in knowing how this whole deal is progressing for others.

Just joined because I stumbled upon this iPhone 7 preorder thread and I thought I'd add some info to provide more data points for people.

I woke up early to preorder last week. Had issues with the website for ~20 mins before I decided to just call support. Waited on hold for about ~30 mins and got through to a very energetic and helpful T-Mobile representative and ordered two phones to be paid via EIP:
  • A black iPhone 7 128 GB for me
  • A gold iPhone 7 128 GB for my wife
Phone orders were processed one at a time and EIP agreements were sent very shortly after the orders were placed, about 5-10 minutes. I signed the agreements immediately after I got the emails for them.

From there (all times are Central time)...
9/11 @ 8:45am - Received tracking number for black iPhone
9/11 @ 11:39pm - Payment processed email received from T-Mobile for black iPhone
9/12 @ 5:06am - Received tracking number for gold iPhone
9/12 @ 11:37pm - Payment processed email received from T-Mobile for Gold iPhone
9/12 - First payment posts (no longer pending) on credit card statement
9/13 - Second payment posts on credit card statement
9/14 - 7:08am - Both UPS tracking numbers just show "Order Processed: Ready for UPS" on UPS's website. First order's shipping label shows as being created on 9/10 and the second order's on 9/12.

I imagine I should see movement tomorrow! Though I certainly wouldn't complain if something happened today, haha.

Your origin scan time will depend on your location. Here is the tracking history from my note 7 orders last month. I live 4 hours away from Louisville, so my origin scan can literally be the same day (or in the example 3 minutes shy of that).

Well, now you see I live in South Bend, IN. GO IRISH!!!!

I'm sorry y'all but I'm just so frustrated that people who ordered after I did or people who ordered devices that had father estimated shipping dates are getting their devices before me. I'm glad y'all are getting your iPhones but come on T-Mobile! Commit to your dates! If you're telling me I'll get mine by launch but haven't even given me a tracking number yet, but you charge people and start shipping orders estimated for weeks after launch, that really brings down my faith in the company.

I just want to remind everyone that if you plan on cancalling your pre-order & walking in tomorrow to try and get your model, you'll need to be on T-Mobile One to get it for free.
 
Had original estimate for both my phones for 9/27-10/10 shipped my Rose gold plus 32 GB but my 128 matte black still processing. At least I will be getting one

For all of you getting your orders in transit... what time was it "origin scanned"?
Click to expand...

128gb Black 7 (placed order 9/9 7:45am EST)
9/10 5:03am order processed: In Transit to UPS
9/15/2016 10:41AM Origin Scan (Louisville, KY)
 
Jet black people screwed until November I'm guessing. Crap what is the point of a pre-order if you have to wait 2 months. That's is crap.
