iPhone 6 & 6 Plus Sprint Pre-Order Thread!

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'm willing to add mine, may be a little tricky as I have residences in two states ... really hoping they stick to what they're telling me on being able to reroute my shipment as I have to leave town by Thursday overnight at the latest for awhile. I do have a ups my choice account and can't seem to find the reroute fee (though I know I saw it previously!) otherwise I hope sprint sticks to their guns on calling them ahead of time and them rerouting it for me if needed. Honestly it's stressing me out :confused: I would have just had it shipped to the other address to begin with but I had to use my other address since it's on the sprint bill for needing an airwave tower out here. Sadly I thought pre ordering for a change would simplify things for me and it has been the most complex process it seems!
 
I'm hoping people who posted when they ordered will come back and update us if they do get tracking info or their phone delivered. I have a feeling the chances of more than a few people doing that will be slim. I'll for sure make sure to come back and update. Thanks to the person who put the spreadsheet together!

I swear I refresh the sprint order status page once every 20 minutes. And when it takes a few seconds longer to load the page, I get all excited thinking maybe that means something new will pop up and then it doesn't and I get depressed again.

The longer it takes to get the new phones the less I'll probably get for selling my current 5s 16gb. My friend who got her 6+ 2 weeks ago almost, she sold her 16gb 5s for $350!!!! I highly doubt I can do that even when mine is in perfect unscratched condition.

I'm waiting for my 6+ 64 gb gray phone and I bought it online through Sprint on October 3rd. It looks like sprint changed their shipping estimates for gold & silver 6+'s to ship in 2-4 weeks for the 128 gb I think. So it looks like supply is getting a little better.

I will post back once I get a tracking number, which unfortunately won't be until like the end of October at the earliest :(

Well if things hold true you will probably get your 6+ before I get mine. I ordered mine on 9/12 and am still waiting. :(
 
As I posted on October 6th I also pre-ordered my Space Gray iPhone 6+ 64GB in-store without an order number on September 15th around 12:00 PM PDT.

I went to the Sprint store on Friday, October 10th around 12:00 PM PDT to deal with some billing issues and also to ask about any status updates. The representative kindly showed me what was on her screen and as of that day it still said "awaiting shipping", or something to that extent, therefore there was no tracking number.

At this point I accept the phone arriving as late as the 6th week, or as early as the 4th week (which technically is this week). I will visit the store once again some time this week to see if there are any more updates (and hopefully a tracking number by this time around).

Although I doubt that will happen, it looks like some people here have ordered way after you and already have theirs. It's all about luck of the draw at this point.

As i mentioned in a few posts before, it looks like shipping times improved for the 16gb all colors, and 128gb gold and silver colored 6+'s. Last week when i checked, all the 6+'s were at 4-6 weeks so i would say Apple is starting to play catchup. 64 gb SG is still at 4-6 weeks though.

I do that too...I actually check before I even get out of bed in the mornings. And then someone said that their UPS My Choice actually updated before the Sprint site so now i have two websites that contribute to my iPhone 6 Plus Nervous Breakdown Diagnosis!!!
 
Waiting for my second 6 plus

I ordered a 16 gb grey 6 plus on sep. 12 at 1pm pst on sprint's website. Received tracking number on Sep. 30, and phone was delivered on Oct. 2. It had to be sent back because sprint made it a new second phone line instead of an upgrade. so I returned it and ordered another 6 plus 64gb on Oct. 3. 16 gb is not enough... out of the box you only get 12 gb to actually use. so another agonizing wait begins. hoping for three weeks like last time, but it's not looking good. Good luck to you all!

Sorry if this is a stupid questions but...

Given that Apple is rolling out the new phones into additional markets and they have a big "press conference" on 10/16 for another product (many think it will be a new ipad), how is this going to affect the US 4-6 week spiel? I mean, they are constantly say GLOBAL DEMAND but the phone has not rolled out in all countries when those of us on this forum ordered our phones.
 
i called my sprint store in upland, california.

they said that specific sprint store gets shipments everyday at 3:30 pm..

but they said they only get like 2 iphone 6, and 2 iphone 6+..

and they also told me they have not received 1 single 64gb space gray..

all other models though like 16gb or 128..

if i preordered on the 18th.. and they havent received any 64 gb models than i feel like im in a long wait.. since im sure alot of people ordered the 64model since it is a common pick.. -____-

sprint is so whack. they tell me 3weeks.. then bumped me down to 4 weeks..

and now i guess if im not getting my phone this week. i will fall into the 4-6 week window.

Same here. They also told me 3 weeks and now they're saying anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks. I ordered mine on 9/15, so if it's not here by November... it for sure passed the 4 to 6 time window.
 
Good morning fellow Sprint users! Any luck on tracking numbers from 9/28 and back orders?
I purchase a 6 Plus Space Gray 128GB btw

they will be here soon

I think most of us will receive our phones in the next 7-10 days. Apple sends out huge quantities to the cell phone companies, but only approximately every 4 weeks. The last big batch was received two and a half weeks ago. I know because my 6 plus was among those in that batch. That would put us approximately a week and a half from delivery to sprint's warehouse. The only variable would be customs, as sometimes items wait in customs for several days before they are cleared for release. Hang in there, guys and gals... The wait will be worth it!
 
What's the difference between the or-trmt- numbers and the
oy-shso-
Ws-bbcc-
And is this really a 6 week wait,
With your lucky if you'll get one before then?
What about when your on week 6 and still no word then what?......
Week 5 here for me
 
I really do not understand how some of you preordered on the 12th and still don't have your phones. That is so messed up!! I Do know that this was my 3rd time to preorder thru Sprint and about 20 hrs. Before my phone shipped (all 3 preorders) it hit my bank account and went from pending to paid out to Sprint. That has always been the first indication that my phone is about to ship. I'm sure it varies from bank to bank, but I would see the Sprint transaction change from pending to paid. What has always driven me crazy about Sprint, is that Do Not update orders frequently . Not to mention the nightmare preorder night when Sprint site wouldn't load for me (on 3 different PCs ) for a hour and a half. That's nuts. Sprint needs a major overhaul on how orders are placed. Crazy..

Congrats regarding with your order. The first week of the Pre-Order has been a nightmare! I tried to order my device twice on Telesales and both attempts my order was incomplete but Sprint wanted to charge my checking account 3x with no hesitation ($499x3).

Finally with my 3rd attempt I place my order online and for the 4th time they debited out of my account.

Sprint really fumble the ball this time. I am surprise I am still a Sprint Customer.
 
I'm supposed I am as well. Been with sprint about 14 years! I remember when they had premier customers and we were allowed to upgrade every year without penalty! You placed your order then and still don't have it??? Wow.. My daughter decided to upgrade Sunday... And made a couple of calls to sprint and walked out with a 6+ Sunday afternoon .. that I could not believe..

# I will PM my account info so your lovely daughter could get me a Plus lol
 
Okay went to sprint today and had a talk with the Rep. Anybody like me waiting on the 64gb SG 6plus you have a long wait . All other models should be shipping out in next 7-10 days so your wait will be ending soon. He ask me did I want to switch colors to sliver or gold I said nope love the black look too much.
