iPhone 6 Plus SG/64 in store September 25
So I went to the store where I orderd my phone for the third time. I am on week 6.5
They said its "in the warehouse and as soon as UPS ships it you will get a tracking email." They also gave me a serial number for my phone.
I feel so close to getting my phone, yet so far away

Ordered on October 11- 1 64gb 6. No word at all yet, checked status and still nothing. ordered from Sprint store... Also had to ship my phone to Gazelle last week in order to get the full price as it was already a month... I still blame Apple not Sprint. If Apple was so short sighted they deserve customers wrath not Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile or Sprint.
Consistancy is obviously key. When I see people a week later with their phones it really chaps my ass.
Update on Unicorn SG 128g 6 plus
Ordered 6 plus 128g SG on 9/29 from BUSINESS REP on BUSINESS ACCOUNT over the phone -- told 2-4, later 4-6 weeks.
Past 6th week now.
E-mailed Rep several times. Today pushed again. He said "Your phone should ship next Monday, 11/17. HOPEFULLY, it will ship this Monday, as I was told." Direct quote. His capitalizing hopefully doesn't give me a lot of hope!
Will update you all.

I haven't been waiting long, so far, so I will reserve the complaints about that for later. I did, however, call the store I ordered from, today, to try and get some sort of order number besides what is on the receipt.
The rep on the phone hemmed and hawed and pretty much didn't want to do anything. After I refused to just give up (all politely, I swear), the rep got my name and number and promised to call be back, today.
Of course, no one called back.
I am really worried because, when I ordered the damned phone, they put my name and number down in a notebook. That doesn't sound secure or professional to me.

lol at all the people ordering midway into Oct getting their phones before me. This is a joke.
Ordered on the 19th of SEPT.

But is anyone getting the 6 or 6+ in 128GB? I've had 3 of the 6+ 128GB on order since Sept. 20, coming up on 8 weeks...
I don't see many people getting (receiving) the 128GB and I wondered if it was because of the issue they may or may not have found with the memory controller.

Let me guess, 128GB Space Gray?

Same here. Walking towards week 7.
still waiting
ordered 128 sg on 11-8 you know that there is no doubt that there is a design flaw in the 128. nobody has received it that i know of. after the initial batch i think they stopped production until they figure out how to fix the problem. I'm very impatient. but no choice i guess. also got email from sprint yesterday stating it will be 4-6 more weeks till i get it.

Totally agree with you basketrunner. It seems they are fixing the issues without letting us know. #TheWait

My two cents is that Sprint doesn't know what is going on. The stores, the 866 number, online, etc. There is so much different information for each entity.
Not to rain on other's parade, but I got device. Out of the blue. I was given the delayed email for 1-2 weeks. The 866 number said I was due for 1-4 weeks and that the 1-2 was incorrect. The store told me point blank they had no idea. The store where I ordered from said it should be "soon" but could be up to 1-4 more weeks. They had no idea, clearly. BUT they told me I would receive tracking info for my in store order. INCORRRECT.
The store called me randomly that my device was in. No email with tracking, nothing. I was stoked, but upset from the misinformation.
Anyway, I would say for those waiting; there is no solid info. If you got tracking, great! In store orders, hang in there! It will happen, if randomly
My info: iPhone 6+ 64/SG wait time 6 weeks 6 days

Got a tracking number today from my order on 10/11. Will let you know when I have it but it will be 5 weeks.
Ordered a 6+ 128 Sg 10-6 get an email today saying 4-6 more weeks delay. So over it!
Yesterday i walked into best buy and opened an acount with verizon and walked out with a 6+ 64g sg. I then went a canceled my preorder! Sprint can keep there average service and awful customer service!
Up in the clouds you got a 64. Nobody is receiving 128s. Just 64s and 16s. My point is that there is a real engineering issue with the 128 that they are hiding. If that weren't the case than at least some of the recent deliveries would be 128s. Makes me leery of spending so much $ on a device that still might not be right when it's finally ready. If they were up front about it I'd be more comfortable but they are trying to hide it to avoid being responsible going forward. Very disappointing.
I was looking to pre-order for my brother probably a couple weeks ago. I called around yesterday and was able to locate a corporate store 20 minutes away who has 10 Silver 64gb 6 plus in stock. He was able to trade in his iPhone 5S for $357 and apply that towards the 6 plus. He gets to keep his $50 sero plan and still get a subsidy applied towards his phone purchase. The network is horrible and speedtest were averaging 3 Mbps.
