Upgrades
I ordered my 6+ SG 64GB on my wifes line (she was eligible, I was not) online. When I get it, I'll activate it on her line and play merry-go-round with ESN swaps between three phones. I let her take my upgrade (I had the 5) for the 5S and did it last time.

I'm a bit later than all you guys on your pre orders so I feel a little wimpy complaining here but here it goes lol
I ordered mine on the 26th IN STORE. I wasn't planning on ordering it since I called 7 Sprint stores varying from my location until I found a store that had 6+ in stock and I ended up finding one about 4-5 miles away. So he said "Yeah I have some in stock come on in and i'll take care of you."
I was relieved and got in my car and went down there and the store was DEAD. No traffic at all the store obviously wasn't that great but I didn't care as long as they had phones. So I been with sprint for YEARS. I'd say about 7+ years and we all share our upgrades. I mean if my brother needed an upgrade and he wasn't eligible for another month he would use one of ours, so he did.
I went there to use my brothers upgrade since he used mine a month before since I have been eligible. So guy behind the counter told me he cannot give me one that he has behind the counter since it wasn't my upgrade....BULL ****. I been with Sprint longer than he's been working there and my best friend used to own a store. Normally I go through him to get my phones and stuff but he's sold it so I know this guy was just giving me a hard time probably because he would have rather sold it to someone retail price rather than give it to someone on an upgrade nonetheless someone using another persons upgrade.
Anyways I didn't make a big deal out of it even though I know he didn't know what he was talking about (hence the store being empty the week of iPhones biggest release to date) and just said ok i'll just pre order it. There's still people lining up outside stores to get it the least I can do is wait for it to come in the mail right?. So this was the 26th of Sep and he told me It would take about 1 week for my phone to come in. So I did it. Paid for it all and everything. $430 right then and there. iPhone 6 Plus 64GB Space Grey.
So a week passes and I just call up there after I got off work figured if its there i'll just swing by on my way home to pick it up and he said they hadn't received any 6+ only 6. No big deal. I call back 3 days later on a Monday since I know they hadn't received anything that sunday and again it was a no. I ended up calling other stores seeing if they had received and EVERY place I called said they are on 4-6 week back order ever since 6+ sold out on release weekend. That's what pissed me off. Not only did the guy not give me a phone that he had plenty of behind the counter he gave me a wrong estimate time. Not off by a week or few days, he was off BY A MONTH. There's nothing I can even do really, if he doesn't have than he just doesn't have. An iPhone isn't just going to appear on his front step. Also he didn't ask for my email or give me an order # of any sort. So i can't go on sprint website to check status of whats going on, Just have to sit and wait until November comes and pray these fools actually even call me for me to pick up my phone.
