No, I ordered on 9/28 & 2 days ago I received the infamous email about a additional 4 to 6 weeks. Smh
Wait a second. Sprint sent you an email for an additional 4 to 6 weeks from when the email was sent? What phone did you order? In store, online, phone?

Holy ****! Thats crazy. I have been perusing through these forums and Sprint's forum and the 128s seem to always ship before the 64s. I would raise hell over that delay.
I ordered a 64/SG 6+ a few days before you and I only got the 1-2 week delay. Seriously, WTF.
Have you contacted them?
I have been harassing them to the fullest! Plus I'm on that forums too (Sprint) #TheWait lol
In-Store iPhone 6+ SG/64 September 25
Soooooo, I don't have my phone yet.
BUT, I called the store where I ordered from and the tech guy there said that they don't usually ever get shipping info for in store orders, but he said my phone was labelled as "processing" which, as he explained, Sprint has it in their warehouse and it is ready to ship.
He told me that it could take days or up to a few weeks to leave the warehouse. Not what I wanted to hear, but some new information is better than no information!

The most ordered phone was the 6+ SG 64 GB with the 6+ SG 128GB being the next ordered phone. Because the SG 64 GB was the most ordered phone they ramped up distribution and production of the phone.
So when this happened the people who ordered the SG 128GB got screwed. I ordered the SG 128GB on the 19th and got another 4 week wait email towards the end of my 7th week. EVERYONE who ordered the 64 GB SG on my date have received their phones and have even seen a good amount of people who ordered up to a week after me receive their SG 64GB phones, according to a huge spreadsheet on the sprint forums.
The SG 128GB is now the new unicorn. Which sucks for me.
It cracks me up seeing people who ordered in the middle of October complain. Actually it's somewhat annoying.

LOL! I agree. I ordered mine in September and got sick of the wait and the attitude i was getting from Sprint so i ended up canceling my order. And seeing people who ordered before me with same model phone getting emails of delays really made me cancel and just call around and try my luck in stores. I should be getting my refund today and then i will start calling around every once a while to random stores near me and hoping they have some SG 64-128 in stock.
AT&T 64 gig Gold
I've been checking once daily on my wife's phone. It usually says the dates 11/5 - 11/11, today the dates have been removed. It now basically says your phone will be sent sometime in the future, no guarantees.

HAHAHAHA. This totally made my morning! I feel the same way. I am hoping the delay email is bogus and I get my phone today because today marks 6 weeks exactly. Here's to hoping
I ordered in-store. All I got was a receipt. Should they have given me an order number? The order number on the receipt does not match the format for tracking orders online.
You're lucky, they told me to go home and order online, flat out refused to let me order and pick up there.

So my brother Ordered same phone as me (SG 6 + 64GB) 2 days after I did (10/15), and he got his today, 6 + SG 64gb, his order on Verizon. But sprint is telling me anywhere from 2-6 more weeks. I know allot of you guys have been waiting longer then me, so for him to somehow get his from Verizon in 3 weeks, pisses me off lol.
Because Sprint's customer service sucks. I ordered in September and other people have received the same phone as me but ordered well after me. That is straight from the store.
Its a serious WTF moment. I know family members that ordered on a different network the same phone and got it weeks ago. I tell that to Sprint's customer service manager and he said they "are fulfilling orders in line with other carriers." CLEARLY NOT
iPhone 6+ 64/SG in store
So I was just told I have to wait an additional 1-4 weeks. Today is week 6. Im pretty furious. Especially reading others on different carries are getting the same phone that was ordered in late October and November.
I am pretty sure at this point, after I have called half a dozen times very politely but frustrated, the store has flagged me and given my phone away or cancelled it on me.

Man I am sorry for you. But I'll use my 64GB Gold 6 Plus 2 hours longer in honor of your patience. ###
Good to hear it! Use the hell out of it! My patience is running very, very thin at this point.
