20 days stuck in "processing" that's so wrong! I ordered 9/9 on pre-order day, email confirmation of my order 14 minutes after pre-order started. October 18-31 delivery? This is just so unreal!

I ordered one minute before you and got mine yesterday. 7+ JB 256 GB. It can be kind of random I think because of them coming off the assembly line and so it might depend on model and color too.

You're kidding me? I ordered a week before you, and I am still on backorder :'( (to the guy who's RG is shipped)
Hang in there! A whole bunch of us "November" deliveries just got a date (11/11 or 11/04) so you are probably going to see movement soon!

How are you getting delivery dates?
It flipped from "November" to "Ships: 5 Weeks" in the app. A few of us in the JB November thread saw it happen about an hour ago.

Nice...thanks. I'm still getting conflicting statuses from *6737# back ordered and the website says preparing for shipment. Every year it's something else and I always say I can wait...but I really can't. Lol

When I ordered from AT&T in the past the website never budged until there was a shipping number. The phone line though (probably by text now) was the most reliable. Once that changed you knew things were going to start moving very quickly. If I'm remembering correctly it would go from 'backordered" to "processing" on the phone line. The way AT&T ships phones...you won't have a tracking number probably until literally 2 days before it gets to you and maybe even just the day before.

It sounds like you ordered from AT&T, not Apple right?
Yes...like I did the last couple of times. I skipped the 6s so my memory is kinda cloudy all the workings of this process. Thanks for all the kind help from everyone on here

I ordered 2 silver 128GB pluses and 1 gold 128GB plus on 9/19 around noon ET from AT&T. No movement or anything yet and I have no way to chech whether I'm backordered because these are temp numbers on the account because I am porting over from sprint.

Typically not but for some its been total hell. Im not considering if your in back order for more then 48 hours cancel your order and re-order if your on ATT
I did order through AT&T. Everything I've seen is after going into back order they received their shipment info within the next 24 hrs. Let's hope so

JB+ 128 is in the US! Hoping it can be here tomorrow, we'll see how quickly it turns around in AK and makes it to Louisville. I'm just happy to be getting movement despite 18th-31st original date.

Well my wife's 7+ 128gb Rose Gold shipped about 4 hours from order going to back order. But my 128gb Matte Black is still sitting there. Both ordered 9/18. I'm so jealous of her right now. :D:D
