Got a tip for us?

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

I mistakenly stopped by the AT&T thread and saw they were getting their unicorn phones shipped. Almost cried tears of joy til I realized I was at the wrong Carrier thread
this gets me worried because i have 2 32gb MB 7+'s waiting for UPS and UPS says the label was created on 9/16 at 5:05am and they're still "ready for UPS" meanwhile I've heard that other people with the same phone as me have already gotten an origin scan
granted, I did get the tracking numbers today at like 7am and T-Mobile emailed me about the shipments this afternoon, but I just don't like not having an origin scan yet lmao
There are a ton of planes flying from China and Alaska today. I bet we will see many orders being fufillied in the over the next few days.

I would wait until Monday comes and goes. After that though I would open up a claim through UPS. It doesn't take a day for UPS to pick up a device in a box. There is a chance it missed the origin departure scan, but it would be scanned for departure for sure.
A t-mobile representative told me that all those planes are carrying matte black and jet black iphone 7+s in various gb sizes specifically headed to t-mobile main shipping center for immediate processing to complete all of the pre-orders.
I wish that were true, hopefully it is somewhat true, would be nice to see some movement and a change on my order.

Seeing people saying they are switching from JB to Black makes me think I may be moved up in line everytime someone does. Woo.
hopefully this means they can knock out a good chunk of orders and get things moving along
yeah, I'll wait and see...Hoping it's just a delay in tracking info on my end, or it just somehow gets here on monday lol
Oh my gosh these are the most planes I've seen in a while. Good chance a lot more people will be seeing movement in the next week.
Wow, guess everyone who preordered 9/9 will have a phone soon
I ordered the night of launch, I signed my forms by around 3am PDT. I have a late oct-early nov ship date. I think you are correct about for new orders only though. Just doesn't give me the warm fuzzies I will see my order any time soon.
I can neither confirm nor deny that I called Bryan Bowler.

Like he didn't approve this one?
I broke down and cancelled my Jet Black 128gb and switched it for the Matte Black 128gb regular 7. Customer service rep was super helpful and it was quick and painless. Order not showing up in My T-Mobile yet but my estimated ship date is 9/19-9/26 now.
They charged me $24.99 for Overnight (or will) but she credited it to my account.

Damn you!
How do you get such an early ship date and you just ordered again? There's no sense to this.
I don't believe this for a second... but hey good for you!
That's been a trend now on some other forums as well. It is likely that these are more realistic estimates than the ones we were quoted in our original order.
If you check the website that's the estimated ship time for a regular black iPhone 7 128gb anyways. I don't know if that's what the system will give me, but that's what the rep told me.
I thought you just said some unnamed high level exec told you no one was getting a phone until Nov??
That's what I was told by the rep while I was placing my order, once their system processes my order and I can see it I'm sure I'll have a better idea.. really it's only the 32gb models in Black and any Jet Black regular 7 that's backordered with the regular 7. 7+ is a different story but I didn't want the plus.
Better than November and I also have serious concerns about the JB's durability
