Maybe they had to charge the cards, so they could afford the shipping supplies, printer ink, labels and box tape lol.
There is a method to the madness
Here at the t-mobile front, things have been bittersweet. We lost scores of good men, however we somehow managed to survive the artillery and are currently receiving some info and movement within our 128gb MB+ unit.
32GB MB+ are MIA, assumed dead.
Many are wondering when we can go home.
Good info - many of us with MB 128 GB Plus orders from 9/9 (delivery dates in the 9/16-9/27 and onwards range) got charged this afternoon, but as far as anyone can tell, none but the odd exception have seen any shipping information yet. There still seem to be a lot of people with 32GB Plus orders from 9/9 and later who have not seen anything happen. Not sure where the T-Mobile hub is - Louisville, KY itself?
We read you about the queueing problem - it's rampant here too. Many people who ordered much later have already had their cards charged, while others who got their orders in minutes after 00:00 PST 9/9 are still waiting.
Well now we know how they do tmobile tuesdays...Maybe they had to charge the cards, so they could afford the shipping supplies, printer ink, labels and box tape lol.

Yeah, I noticed they were offering a 50% coupon off one item at the Dollar Store for the t-mobile tuesday offering today. Comin at you budget style lol, now if they could just afford the money to hire someone to package all those iphones and slap those labels on.
I've just figured it out, the reason we've all been charged and nothing has shipped is Legere just found out about #brangelina! He's moving in for the rebound!
Those who have a shipdate of 9/19-9/26 and still have not been charged call T-Mobile just in case. My CC did not go through and phone was placed on hold aka "back order" gave them the SAME CC and it went through. Should be receiving text message of tracking number within 24 hours.
That may be, but orders were coming from more than one source, so it just depends on when the order actually goes through on their systems. Relax until the last day your shipping range has changed.
32GB MB+ are stuck in LIMBO
Well I posted a few pages back the email I received today from Aika Aguilar from the 'Office of the President' and she mentioned that my order "was ready to ship and should leave our warehouse in approximately 72 hrs".
So if she is correct, I would assume this is true for everyone who got charged today. So the phones would ship out Friday.
Right now I am at the point where I don't care whether my order goes through or not LOL.
I am not going to waste my time calling them, I would rather waste it on here
I think that's t-mobiles way of saying thank you for choosing us as your uncarrier.
Don't worry, if you ordered early on you should be seeing some change soon, if not today in the coming days.
When my friend's 7 Plus was delivered recently, here are the sequence of events:
ALL TIMES IN EST!
1. Credit card charged around 3:40PM on Sept 14th
2. UPS label was created at 9:50 PM Sept 14th. But remember, you won't get an UPS my choice email yet at this point since T-Mobile boxed it and put the label on it. UPS doesn't know of this package yet.
3. Email from T-Mobile at 6:30AM on Sept 16th that the order has shipped. Only when we tracked it then did we find out that the package was ready for pickup at 9:50PM on Sept 14th. Still no UPS my choice email since it was not picked up by UPS.
4. Origin scan at 12:23AM on Sept 17th. UPS email sent some time after this.
5. Delivered on Sept 19th(yesterday)
Hope this information helps.

Hope everything is a little more expedited for us.
So where again are the Plus Jet Black's at?
