I don't think T Mobile would assign IMEI and print out labels without having the phone physically. My guess is the ones that have tracking like myself, are currently in transit to UPS and with so many phones that process can take 24 hours. I say we see some scans today with delivery by tomorrow.
I agree, and having a tracking number myself, that doesn't mean TMobile has assigned IMEI's yet. All they've done is created UPS labels, which anyone or any business can do online. That part doesn't require the phone to be on hand, printing out the shipping label doesn't require a IMEI to be assigned, they don't list the IMEI on the shipping label.
 
Shame T-Mobile is keeping us waiting longer. Very disappointed in this launch.

Like the year before (rose gold) and the year before (plus models) and so on... it was always a mess!
I didn't get our phones on launch day last year even I was JoD (prioritized) and was just regular silver and gold...
 
How are yall tracking these flights? I just checked the flights from Shenzhen to Anchorage and only see 3, 2 of which have already landed. Are they departing from a different location?
 
Why not the 32GB + phones shipping. COME ON TMOBILE wtf!! So sick of waiting :'(
I definitely feel your pain lol! Most of the 128s got shipped so where's the rest I really hope we don't have to wait until 9/27-10/10 for shipping

Actually I found my label created last night via UPS my choice. My T mobile order switched to shipped at midnight. As soon as it went to shipped, I checked on my account on my EIP and it showed the new phone on there with it's IMEI. Therefore, it does one have assigned to it already. They may not require a phone to create shipping labels, but I'm pretty sure they do in order to assign IMEI's to orders.
 
Believe this is incorrect, T-Mobile has a hub right next to the Worldhub for UPS in Kentucky, that is where their sorting comes. With Apple direct devices, UPS labels are in fact created in China (I remember tracking my 6+ straight from China)

This is true. A relative of mine previously worked at that hub. They receive shipments directly from UPS; repackage them and send them out to customers directly from Kentucky.

Seriously. I had faith in T-Mo coming through and shipping them between 9/16 and now already, and that the 9/27 was just so people don't complain if it's after that. But now I'm scared it'll actually be between then :/

People who had MB128+ with 9/27-10/10 are receiving their phones today, so what the **** dude where are ours? ?? I can't understand what's taking so long especially cause I got silver which is not popular at all.

Just spoke to a rep (I know... I know) and he said that it takes 48 hours from the time of the label being created to ship. Bottom line what he said is it would probably ship out Friday and I wouldn't get it until Monday or Tuesday since UPS doesn't deliver weekends. which he said go es right with estimated ship date of 9/27. I don't want to believe that. I think it ships tonight to tomorrow morning sometime and we get them tomorrow. Friday latest. IMO

I doubt most of the 128GB MB Plus were shipped :( quite a bit of people including me are still waiting. Someone on here who preordered 4 days after me got a way earlier ship date and what do you know, was also charged yesterday..
 
lol just checking in to say I ordered my 128GB Matte Black 7+ at 9pm 9/9 and still have no charge or tracking info.

First in, first out - my ass.
:rolleyes:

Congratulations to all of y'all that, for seemingly no reason whatsoever, got moved up in line over others who ordered before you. Literally incredible.
 
This might help

So...how long do you think it will take T-Mobile to actually send out our phones? I've never received a tracking number and waited 24 hours for it to actually ship. I get the lack of stock, but I'm confused why they are printing labels and not shipping them. Really strange.

Trust me, not all 128 MB'a with 9/27-10/10 have shipped. :(

Ok, true, but if your order status already says "Shipped", then you're ahead of most of us. Most of us still just have "Being Processed" and our tracking show "Ready for UPS" without any updated EIP.

("Most of us" meaning those of us who got charged yesterday and got tracking numbers.
Not counting the poor souls who have gotten nothing at all so far.)
 
iphone 7 plus 128gb black preordered 9-9 (Chicago) estimated 9-27 10-10 no updates what so ever :( Is anyone else here from chicago with the same order as mine?

Considering you ordered at 9pm on 9/9 it really isn't surprising that your phone wasn't in the first batch.....not trying to be mean. Just saying.
