Same here but seems to be more generic then account specific. Not getting hopes up yet. Been checking the fedex and ups reference tracking pages I posted in here earlier today all day and sprints tracking page and even my CC and nothing has changed...charges still pending and nothing on the tracking.
It could be possible they're removing the generic message for the pluses.
Hahaha. Funny overreaction from a guy who's saying...
Yup. It's us that need to relax. Well, Thank you for the laugh anyway. Hope you didn't burn a hole through your hat.
Hahaha thanks man! Im glad you found it funny, I take that as a compliment. Im chill as a cucumber. Typing that stuff doesn't mean I'm over here steaming and about to blow up, or burn a hole through my hat? Its night time and I'm inside, I don't have a hat on :roll eyes:
I dont mean to add to the speculation on ship dates for the 6 plus, but here is a bit of good news.
So, i ordered the 16GB 6 plus, an hour after the pre orders went live. Couldnt get through till then because of the site being down.
I called sprint today, and the lady rep that I talked to said that orders placed by 11 am on the day that pre orders went live, should get their phone by the 19th, or shortly their after. She told me people have been cancelling their orders and that i shouldnt cancel mine. Also told me I should get an email soon with a tracking number.
Lets HOPE that she isnt full of crap.

Maybe when the site goes back up the 6+ will change to delivery date on 9/19 even when you order now. Lol. Who am I kidding. She's probably full of ****.
So I was one of those people up on Sprint's website right at midnight 9/12 trying to preorder my new phone. By 1:59am, I was finally able to successfully preorder my 16gb iPhone 6 in gold!
I keep checking my order status online and it still says they're trying their best to get it to me by 9/19.
I just tried again five minutes ago and that part of the site is down at the moment. So maybe they're getting ready to release tracking? I'm not sure, but I'm excited to get my phone! I'm hoping for a 9/19 delivery date!

Tried to check my 6+ order on Sprint ( 77th time today) and now the site is showing down.

Could this be good news? Anyone getting the same?

Please someone tell me it could be good news. Site will be back up with tracking info.
On another note- I just did a buyback quote again for giggles. Wow, they'll actually offer me $231 for my black 16GB iPhone 5 and apply it as account credit.
The other day it was around $100, then $145, and now $231. Their offer of $200 towards purchase of a new iPhone ... I almost went for. This looks pretty good considering we all know Sprint iPhones don't fetch as much on the free market.

I hope you're right!

Sprint offered me $230 for my 16gb silver 5S last week but if your price quote went up then maybe mine will too, hmm...
They even sent me the shipping label to ship them my phone but on the label it says they need it sent back by 9/26...so is it safe to assume I'll get my iPhone 6 on 9/19?? Anyone have an idea?

Now the entire Sprint site is down.
The mobile version, I mean. No clue on the desktop version.
Yeah, no change here for me. Although at this point, I'm kind of accepting the fact that my 6 + model won't be shipped until mid October. I really think that Apple didn't have the stock to supply even 50% of the pre-orders for the + model. I keep checking non stop, but I don't know why I do it. Honestly, no way I'll get mine by the 19th.
Does anyone know what the absolute latest delivery was for the last time (Apple 5s/5c) people pre-ordered? Was it really like a month after the official 1st day? That's nuts...
I checked for my iPhone 4s gmail history: October 7 was the pre-order day, and I pre-ordered at 7 PM on October 7 I officially received the package from sprint on Oct 14th at 5 PM, which was the first official day for the iPhone 4s (first time sprint ever had iPhones was very memorable to me). I remember thinking that I preordered late & I would be delayed but wasn't.
This time, I preordered 3 16gb iPhone 6p's for my mom dad & sis...silver, gray, & gold @ 7pm on Sunday (14th - much later than last time and probably much later than all of you)...got the 3-4 wks message...
Something tells me that the message for the 3 to 4 week delay is just there to build up hype so that people get really happy when they get their device earlier kinda like keeping low expectations to impress vs high expectations to disappoint...

No update on shipping for me either, for the 6 or 6+. Still same generic message it has been since Friday.
I did, however, get a shipping confirmation from Apple that my cases have shipped. Had Sprint not blocked me from ordering from Apple, I'd feel much better about getting my phone on Friday.

Just curious but what was the reason You couldn't order from Apple?
I got on Apple Store app right at midnight for the 6+. My attempt to order got rejected with the "Your plan requires you to buy from Sprint.com" but my sister in laws order went through and she has a 9/19 delivery date.
I never figured out why I got rejected. I assume it's because I'm on a Framily plan but I'm not sure.
Seeing 6+ orders for other carriers ship is just one more reason I regret being a sprint customer for over a decade. Curse my being too lazy to switch carriers. I'm still not giving up hope. I have an account with ups where I get notified when a shipment is coming to me so I'm hoping to hear from them if sprint is late getting tracking info to us
I ordered a 6+ through Apple for this reason. I don't trust sprint to do anything quickly. Granted my Apple order still hasn't shipped but its still quoted as 9/19 delivery.
Same thing here, I was not eligible to purchase through Apple since I am on the Framily Plan. I was not happy at all since I actually was able to get on with the App at around 1215 PST.
