I think the ultimate problem as that the popularity of this phone was underestimated and sometimes those mistakes just happen. I didn't want to wait a single day past launch day but here we are.
Got a tip for us?

Guys, just got a mychoice notification!!!!!!! Y E S!!!!
That ur phone label. I got this for my daughter's iphone 7 128 gb MB that arrived on Friday.
It's not the shirt man, the shirt uses UPS ground lol congrats btw!
Long ago, before there was an internet, well at least a public internet, I used to work as a network admin for a company that existed for the Christmas season but functioned all year long, they'd do more business during those six or so weeks than they did the rest of the year. When sales went up they'd bring in extra people, work longer hours and if the network and databases weren't ready to handle the load I would have lost my job in a heartbeat. In other words, the network had to be capable of handling Christmas all year long even though it was only under load for a few weeks during the year. It seems to me that iphone launch time is like Christmas for Apple and the carriers, Apple may be too big to fail, but the carriers sure as crap aren't.
Now, I'm definitely not saying I could do a better job, I'm certain I couldn't, but then I was never on a million $ salary. Eventually SOMEONE along the chain is going to have to say "this just isn't good enough anymore".
Yes.
Why aren't people camping out for the UPS delivery? Make it more exciting. I'm pitching a tent in my front yard tonight. Who's with me????
No. I'm saying they only ship millions of items in a week for a few weeks per year. That's like expecting Amazon to do Cyber Monday for weeks at a time and not have issues.
At least there is a lot of movement. It may not be my 32gb but at least we know they are working on it around the clock.
Nevermind, I just got a tracking number, I'm all sorts of happy again.
My tracking info turned up in My Choice too. It's the only thing I have coming from t-mobile I know of...
I can confirm that matte black 7+ 128gb are shipping! Ordered 9/9 at 2am central.
