Question is... how the HECKKKK you ordered yours a day earlier than 19,999,999 other ppl? :confused:
Long story short, I'm buying through a Canadian retailer which handles corporate accounts for my carrier. They always have the devices up for preorder on their site as soon as they are announced (even last year when there was no preorder for the 5s) but then it takes them like 2 months to actually get any, so it doesn't really matter how early they let people order. Unfortunately I'm stuck doing business with them if I want to add the phone to my current rate plan.

Yeah, I know this thread is for people buying from Sprint. I just kind of stumbled in here by accident.

HAHA im telling you i almost lost it when i saw the tracking number hahaha!!! Congrats to ya! enjoy now to get this buyback amount promise to me 5 weeks ago lol
If not one thing its another i see

----------

if preorders began on 9/12, and you ordered on the 11th, it's easy to see why your phone hasn't arrived.

LOL i was thinking the same thing...

I have an email from Sprint that they were extending the deadline to send in your old phone and get that buyback amount because they knew of the delay. I saved mine on iCloud to make sure that it was not deleted.

If they sent you a reminder email I woyld reply and tell them that your phone just shipped--that's what I did (or in my case I told them that I had not received my phone yet)

No no reminder email for me i never completed the buyback because i was under the assumption i had to send In my phone immediately and wasn't going to be without a phone for a 5.5 week wait for this iPhone to come in. If we ordered our phone within that date and timeframe, it should still be honored... SPRINT IS A SCAM!!!

Well they seem to have resolved my issue... we will see within 72 hours and i will update. Im kind of doubtful at this point but still hopeful ;)

Where Online

Did everyone that ordered online go through Sprint.com or has anybody ordered through Apple directly?

I am on week 5 for the unicorn and still no information yet. Ordered through sprint.

I chat with support almost daily and its like I'm chatting with a bot.

Good luck to all.

No shipping confirmation email!!!

Don't expect an email that contains shipping info. I kept checking the sprint order status page and thats where i saw my tracking number. Still have yet to receive an email so just a heads up, keep checking the order status page!!!

I have. Last year it took them 2 months to ship the 5s I ordered on day one. They're always waiting for stock from Apple.

Iphone 6 plus

i got to use my iPhone 6 plus, 64 GB , gold for 13 days and sorry to say but after having used the android since the beginning and using the iPhone for the first time ever, but I just don't get all the fuss over it , all the month of anticipation, wasn't worth the wait in my book. I took it back to Sprint today and I am getting the Samsung Galaxy Note 4! Take care apple fanboys and girl. I just don't like plain. It's been real:cool:

I ordered on 9/15 and I'm seeing people who ordered after me get their tracking numbers. That's not encouraging

6+ 64GB SG
