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

They should still be held responsible. If I'm told 3 times by people affiliated with T-Mobile that I guaranteed (actual word used) to get it tomorrow, and I don't, well then there's a problem.
All those planes landing very early tomorrow morning. I can only speak for myself, but I've seen more than a few of my packages from UPS land there and be on another plane very quickly to make it to NJ, where I'm at, and on a truck for delivery tomorrow. That being said I'm waiting on a JB+ 128 and got a window of 11/1-11/30. Not expecting it anytime soon.

All I can really do is complain, but I'm going to bring it to attention that they shouldn't guarantee something if they don't actually know.
Update from Exec Office...
So the rep from the exec office that originally helped me with my order on 9/9, said that T-Mobile's last shipment for today came in, and there were no black models in it, jet black or matte by the sounds of it. Not sure why they wouldn't get anything in tomorrow since it's still a business day, but perhaps with it being launch day, it would mess up the logistics etc? He apologized several times, and said that they get another shipment in from Apple on Saturday, but the only problem is that they have no idea what will be in it just yet. So he said next best case scenario is that they'll ship out on Monday for Tuesday delivery. But I guess they were trying to wait to see what today's shipment would be first before reaching out to everyone. Otherwise he said it would be a ship out on Thursday for next Friday delivery. They wanted to see what today's delivery would be first, and then I guess Art let them know to start contacting people. He sounded concerned that hopefully Apple didn't short them or something because of all the JoD screwups.
It does sound like Apple is prioritizing there own web site orders first if people are getting charged then with what little stock they've got.
At any rate, take it for what it is, just explaining what was mentioned to me, when he actually called me to give me an update (vs my contacting him). I told him that the online forums have been mentioning that there has been a lack of activity on black models, and this would certainly help confirm that.
Here's hoping for the best though, lol. At least the wife's gold one comes tomorrow, lol.

Nobody is lining up to get a Galaxy the way people want iPhones. iPhones consistently sell out the competing Galaxy in the US every year lol
The whole we dont know what we get until we get it, is not true. You dont get shipments without purchase orders. Purchase orders would have to show allocation
I don't want to be an ass to the mobile employee but it's not really my problem. if he's quoting misinformation then he should be retrained, suspended or fired. Why make up info? people don't want any answer they won't the correct one. I'd rather be disappointed about my ship date then be lied to.
Does this mean the planes about to take off in Alaska have no black Plus'S?
All these parts are ********, "execs" and "logistics manager" all these are ******** titles and you guys are dumb as hell to believe this
Why on earth would apple allow pre-orders on jet black and not DELIVERY any on the 9/16? Impossible. I believe either they will be processed overnight or people will get their jet blacks tomorrow but not people on mac rumor forums. Someone just said REDDIT users are gtting theirs processeed and ship with that said..
Can anyone provide the REDDIT MAIN DISCCUSION FOR THE PRE ORDERS Please since there is so many threads/subs??!

Steve jobs probably heard that. You might get it personally from him now.
