iPhone 6s Plus Shipping dates

I have an AT&T Business Premier account and at around 3:09AM EST today, September 12, I pre ordered the iPhone 6s Plus 64GB Space Gray. The order went through, and given how early I was I can assume I was in the first shipment. However, the order confirmation I received says my order will ship sometime between 10/16/2015 and 10/23/2015, which I don't understand at all. I went to the Apple Store app, where I am not allowed to purchase iPhones if I want to use my standard upgrades, and even 30 minutes after I had placed my order, they were still selling the exact same model of the phone I had ordered with an expected ship date of 9/24/2015. I'm really hoping this is just a computer error and I won't actually be waiting a month for the phone.

The same thing is happening to me also is giving me a shipping date between 10/16/2015 and 10/23/2015 but when I go to the Apple website it says 9/25/2015 I am so confused right now we definitely need some clarafication with this.

I have shipping dates between 10/16 and 10/23, but I ordered mine at 3:09AM PDT

Well all I am hoping is that we get the device earlier than that because it makes no sense to me

I ordered well before 12am, I got my confirmation 11:48pm PDT estimated ship date when I ordered was 9/16-9/23 and now it's 10/16-10/23. It's ridicoulus! I really want to cancel and just order through apple but I don't want to mess up upgrade eligability and all that. AT&T needs to tell us what is going on!

Just to be safe, I went to target's website and pre-ordered one. They only require that you purchase a $25 gift card, but they don't necessarily guarantee a launch day iPhone. However, I figure if the shipping dates listed by AT&T are correct, Target will probably be much faster.

Yes it is ridiculous I want to cancel my order and place a new order through the Apple website instead but now since I have an order going here I have to wait until the call center opens at 7:00 AM to speak to a rep to cancel the order what a night I tell you! Smh

I am talking to a rep right now through live chat and she is telling me the dates of 10/16/2015 and 10/23/2015 is not accurate right now and she recommends not to cancel the order so I am just going to keep my order and hope I get the device earlier I am going to cross my fingers and hope for the best!

This is what the rep just told me through live chat:

It is because we have so many people purchasing right now, that the estimated time is that but they should be set to ship on the 25th.

No worries we have 4 million iPhones in-stock, it should be shipping on the 25th, later on today you can look back on your confirmation order and see if that is reflected on your order status.

I hope the rep is right because otherwise I will be highly disappointed!
