Today, I went online at ATT. COM to pre-order iPhone 8 plus. I chose the next every year option, added an insurance plan, and began to check out. When I got to the last step, which is "submit order", I got an error message saying something to the effect of "there is a problem with this card" (there isn't, the card is valid, and there's plenty of money in the bank to cover the charge. In fact,  I just paid my monthly AT&T bill with the same card.)

Since the order appeared to not go through, I tried one more time, and got the same result. I chatted online with a representative, and he said there was a technical issue with processing pre-orders, and to try again later. A few hours later, I logged into my bank account and noticed that there were two charges in the amount of $66.50 each, which is the exact total of the "due today" amount from the order that I had attempted to place (and thought didn't go through) earlier. I never received any confirmation email, order number, and no order shows in my account when I attempt to check the order status. I called AT&T, and was on the phone for over an hour being transferred and given the run around by representatives claiming that there is no record of an order, and they didn't charge me anything, but my bank activity clearly shows two charges for $66.50 from "AT&T Bethlehem PA". Basically, I was charged twice, no record of an order, and AT&T was no help, telling me to call my bank. How did they manage to charge me twice but mysteriously have no record of it? I talked to several reps, and two were very rude, one even saying condescendingly "Well, what do you want me to do?!" after I had explained the situation. I'm at my wits end, and would just like some help and insight...and my money back. They can keep their phone.

I just signed in to check the status of my pre-ordered Iphone 8 plus and it says that it's backed ordered. Is it truly backordered or does it only that because we haven't hit the actual release date yet? I was expecting it to say something like "preparing to ship".

My Iphone 8 plus is showing a ship date in October. I was wondering if they are backordered myself

[Babyidol11]

What about if it say preparing to ship?

 I ordered my iPhone x on the 27th and the estimated dates are November 2nd - 10th. It's now the 9th and the order is still in progress.. canceling isn't an option for me.

I see they didn't answer you... They told me I would get a phone in 2 days.... will it been 2 days... no phone and still in progress... it not even a new iPhone... it is iPhone 6s plus... I don't have a phone to call and check... I have not seen chat box online for 2 days...I guess I have to go to neighbors to call them..  They are always wanting us not to call and use online.... but no chat available... Did you ever get your phone?

[Chescope17]

It hasn't gotten to me yet, but after two weeks it's supposedly out for delivery today. I guess we'll see what happens

I waited over a month for a iPhone 6s (yes a older model to save money) I ordered two end of November  my husband got his in two weeks and I waited two more weeks thinking its the holidays... everyone is busy and perhaps it was coming from the factory in china?        funny my local apple store had one ... then gave up 5 weeks later and canceled. I needed mine as my old 4s was giving me trouble . hopefully I get a refund for my   sale taxes paid.... thanks for listening  so yes it takes as little as two weeks to a month or more to receive your order you have been warned !
