If anyone wants to sign up for UPS My Choice premium they have it for $4 for 4 months instead of $40. If you're like me and UPS always comes to your house at 7-9pm this is what you need lol. https://slickdeals.net/coupons/ups-my-choice/
Unfortunately, if you ordered a backordered phone I doubt that would be THE charge.
Although, you could get really lucky.Things have been happening with no rhyme or reason it seems. I haven't received any charges because I'm JOD, but I'm pretty sure taxes, shipping, and any down payment are made upfront simply to place your order and 'get in line'. It seems the higher capacities ship quicker than the lower ones--so that works in your favor.
Once you are "charged", that means a phone has been assigned to your order and will be (hopefully) shipping in the next day to 3 days, depending on UPS, the day of the week, holidays, weather, and the proper alignment of the planets (jk). Once a label is created you can then track your phone. Sometimes the T-Mobile status never changes until after the phone ships out, so make a UPS choice account and watch for any incoming shipments through that. Otherwise Just hang out, cross your fingers and see when other people with your phone and order date get charged. Sometimes it seems like there is no system with T-Mobile
Maybe someone else could chime in on what THE charge is. I'm sure it's different for different plans right? First month's payment? Entire cost of phone?
Well the 256gb models have shipping dates for next week so I'm sure that is the charge you are looking for, your phone will be in your hands soon lol. I too returned my Note 7 to jump onboard the iPhone train and my 128gb 7+ MB is still showing shipping dates of 11/1-11/30...
Maybe everyone using EIP just pays the down payment + tax/shipping up front? When I did the web order last night, it showed a "Due Today" amount which for the ip7+ is $250 + taxes/shipping. I'd like to think I got lucky, but I kind of doubt that. Order status still shows Backordered, and estimated to ship 10/18 - 10/25 (same as yesterday).
They do not charge until the phone is ready to ship. The MB 256 is the easiest to get at this point from them online. I had a 10/3 order and the phone arrived yesterday. The shipping date was supposed to be 10/18-11/1. I was told by T-Mo they have those in the warehouse at the moment when I inquired about a second one for my son.
UPS also delivers late to my house. What does the premium account allow you to do?
I'm using EIP too and I didn't get any charges when I placed my order. The 256gb models aren't really seeing many shortages like the 32 and 128gb version. I actually called a local T-Mobile store yesterday and they had a 256gb matte black in stock.
I have been lurking this thread since I ordered my IPhone just to see how orders were being filled and how long it would actually take. From the looks of things I might as well get comfortable and join the wait.
I ordered my 7+ Rose gold 128gb on 9/23 signed the papers same day and est ship dates are 11/1 - 11/30 I did JOD. I might need the support so I won't drive myself crazy checking the status of my order every hour lol I have already purchased cases and screen protectors to keep my mind off of this madness

Ok, I'll take it. Maybe its been expedited due to "pain and suffering" from the Note 7, lol. Seriously, it must just be the supply on 256GB models like you say.
Any charges today?
[doublepost=1476220207][/doublepost]Think we might get charges in 15 minutes. Plane arriving in Alaska

Im waiting on the exact same phone, ordered on the 27th...same estimated ship dates.
What does it my back ordered phone? I have same status :/Unfortunately, if you ordered a backordered phone I doubt that would be THE charge.

Forgive me if I was wrong...I don't know how something can be backordered and in stock at the same time though lol. I've been backordered for a month for my RG+. It's better to expect nothing and be pleasantly surprised though
You're welcome, and I stay right up the street from the UPS hub but it's like they don't come until they are done with their route. I've had UPS come as late as 9pm before.
I'm really hoping we won't have to wait until the middle of November to get our phones but I have seen people on here and on reddit that ordered 9/9 - 9/12 still waiting on phones .
I don't live near the hub but they always come late to me too like 7:30pm so I know the feeling
No worries, I appreciate your input. It's as they say, expect the worst, hope for the best.Forgive me if I was wrong...I don't know how something can be backordered and in stock at the same time though lol.
