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.
 
Any updates for anyone? Nothing for me yet.
Ordered online 9/20 @ 11pm CST sprint.com 64GB Gold iPhone 6 Plus.
Just got my case in the mail from Best Buy .. Ordered that last Sunday.
 
Tracking in-store purchase?

I ordered a silver iPhone 6 Plus 64Gb at a Sprint store in Atlanta three weeks ago today (September 14th) and I'm trying to figure out if there's any way to find out when I might expect to receive it. I called the store today and they were clueless: I asked if I'm looking at a week, a month, or the end of the year, and they had no idea. They said I might be able to check my status at sprint.com, but the order number on my receipt doesn't look anything like the order numbers used at the web site, and trying it fails to bring anything up.

I actually tried to order at the store on September 12th but "their computers had crashed" so I couldn't, and had to order on September 14th. Meanwhile, my boss ordered the exact same phone online almost two weeks after I ordered mine and already has his. I don't think I'm ever ordering from the brick & mortar store again. :)

Ordinarily, I wouldn't be too concerned, but my iPhone 5 is one of the ones from the "bad battery" batch and it's starting to get flaky. I don't want to go through all the trouble of replacing it only to have to change phones shortly after that.

Did you try calling the main number to get a better order number? I ordered on sprint.com and my order number is oy-shso-751851xxx. That's the format I have.

Still no updated status yet.. Ordered on 9/20 (says 9/21 on status) 64gb 6+ Gold on sprint.com.

Well I am also in GA in Cumming and I placed my 1st and my last pre order from a brick and mortar Sprint as well. I placed my order at a corporate store on the 15th at 10am and also got a weird order number that I could trace any shipping just had to wait till I was contacted by Sprint

And was given my tracking info and it was shipped in two days to the store by UPS. I received my phone this past Wednesday!
 
Ordered two 64GB gold 6+ on 9/20. Still have not heard anything. I'll be surprised if I get them before Halloween. I Have a six on a line I renewed that I'm using now so I'm not in a rush. I want it faster for my wife though, she does most her computing on a phone the bigger screen should be nice for her.
 
I'm in the 4-6 week window after ordering on 9/15. Should have a tracking number either this week or next. Got the Spigen slim armor case and Glass TR already.
 
Okay. I know this is a pre-order thread but I wanted to make a list of people who are yet to receive their phones. This way, we get an idea as to how far along Sprint has moved as far as delivering their orders is concerned. This will give some information to people who are currently looking to order their phones. I took the list made by RollTideFanGirl and put it in a google docs spreadsheet. It is a public document and anyone can edit it. If you have time, please add your order information to it and the current status. I've only added the pending orders to this document. Thanks! I appreciate your help. The link to the document is below:

Nice idea!! Added mine in there. Also added a couple columns for Order# and Model (6 vs. 6 Plus) since this is a 6 & 6 Plus thread, hope that's okay! Thanks!

No problem. I am going to let it evolve as the crowd desires. I'm going to try and make a physical backup as often as possible just in case someone decides to be a troll and deletes everything :eek:
 
iPhone 6 & 6 Plus Sprint Pre-Order Thread!

Add me to the **** List:
DonnyXMX - 9/19 - 9:32am -online - 6+ 64 gb space grey - oy-shso-75155xxx
 
Ok I got the spreadsheet to open now but can't add to it. Can someone add me?

Ordered on 9/20 (website says I ordered 9/21) on sprint.com 64gb Gold iPhone 6+. My order number is oy-shso-75185xxxx.

Haven't received any new status update besides the 4-6 weeks wait blah blah blah...
 
I added mine. I ordered it through a corporate account rep on 9/12 and am still waiting impatiently.

I ordered a iPhone 6 Plus 64GB in Space Gray.

I can't say patiently waiting as that ended about a week ago.

This is nuts!

Right now Sprint and Apple are on my naughty list! :confused:

What city and state did you order?
I ordered from upland, California. I wonder if time depends on locations too.. Sprint probably sends out faster shipments and bigger quantities probably to sprint stores that make more profit for them :/

I ordered in Pittsburgh, PA. I would think that being a corporate customer they would try to keep me happy considering the number of phones we have with them and it number in the hundreds.
 
I've been lurking here for some time, finally decided to register.
I preordered on the 18th (paperwork lists 18th) email confirmation arrived at midnight on the 19th. iPhone 6 plus space gray 128gb. online order oy-shso-75152XXXX. No current updates received.
 
Thanks everyone for keeping the list updated. It looks like it is going to be a long wait for everyone. I see that Sprint hasn't even caught up with the pre-orders. We have past the 4 weeks mark since the pre-orders started. I am still kicking myself for canceling my 9/13 pre-order. But I wanted a bigger size, so it couldn't have been avoided. Hopefully, it will be quicker once Sprint ships the initial orders as I expect the biggest volume of orders was in the first few days.

I will copy the link to every new page so anyone who comes in to the thread can see the list. Please add your orders and update the status if you received your phone. I will highlight them in green. The link to the spreadsheet is below

Long time lurker but first time posted but i thought maybe it would be a good idea to add your city so we could see if they are maybe shipping to one area of the country first/most, etc????

I agree but I am not sure how many of the users would want to disclose their city information. I am going to create new column for location. If you don't want to add the city, please add the state at least. Please update as necessary. Thanks!
