iPhone 6 & 6 Plus Sprint Pre-Order Thread!

soccerplayer20 said:
So my wife is now stuck with the GRAY phone? She has already said she won't use it if it is gray hahahaha.. So I must find a solution asap. I have a feeling this is not going to be a straight forward easy fix or the simple matter of just taking it into sprint and swapping it out for a gold one :(

This is freaking comical!! Dude seriously. You cant be honest with her and just say that you are not sure what happened? Either you made an honest mistake and the website went batty or they sent you the wrong one?!

Can you grow some cajones? Dude its not that bad. You can say look they sent us this one and if you absolutely want a phone you will need to take it or I send it back and get it replaced but expect to wait 6-9 weeks to get a replacement. Or you keep it and get a bedazzled case like every other woman on the planet is gonna do.

Hillarious!!
 
It's quite frustrating not being able to track the package. I have a tracking number but nothing is coming up on UPS
 
I ordered at launch at 8:04 PM and still nada still says its at the warehouse being built by smurfs.

iphone 6+ SG 64G

No delivery date on it yet unfortunately. UPS says it can't track it yet. Still hopeful for Friday though. I have had this happen with other orders and still gotten items on the expected dates. I'll update if I get a delivery date sometime this morning.

I imagine worst case scenario is Monday which would be disappointing, but not the end of the world.

Thanks. I ordered same as you but at 6am EST. No tracking info. I'm hopeful that sprint just isn't updating it on time and maybe I'll get it shipped to my work on Friday. Monday wouldn't be horrible either.

Sorry, as a woman myself I think that is BS. I feel really bad for you. I totally get her being upset, trust me I do. We all want things in life, and it sucks when you don't get what you want. But being ungrateful over a color? And it's not like it's your fault they screwed up. She's not buying it? Really?

I would never ever ever treat my partner that way (shifting the blame on them for a mistake someone else made). But hey, if she wants to wait a month to get her white Phone, tell her she can wait. It's really up to her if she wants a new phone in gray now, or wait longer to get her white/gold. Plenty of people would DIE to get their phone early. In my case, I've been without a phone for 3 weeks! I not only want this new phone (because it's an amazing new device), but I actually need a new phone.

Bleh. Anyways, none of my business. Sorry for replying.

Im not buying this. Seriously just tell her the TRUTH! Give her the two options. Google Iphone 6 demand and show her a news article. Let her know that if you replace it, it will be by either Halloween or Thanksgiving to get the one that she absolutely wants. Or just get a pink silcone case.

Its articles like these that make me so glad and lucky Ive got a great wife in which we can be honest with eachother.
 
For space gray 64 gig plus models how far into pre order are we? Anyone that ordered around 3 hours in get shipped yet? I'm trying to get an idea of how far into pre orders they have gotten. I realize I won't be getting tomorrow but I'm hoping for Monday

Lol. Kind of where I'll be if I don't get mine tomorrow when everyone else does. My biggest fear of I don't get a tracking number today if that there is no one to call who can provide any insight or explanation.

With that said, I'm still hopeful.

I live in a major city and Tmobile and Sprint are pretty much on PAR here. So I made the switch since Sprint threw everything but the Kitchen sink at me ($353 for my 5s and $350 for my termination) plus no money down on the 6+ 128gb.

Starting to question that decision a little. Customer service is clueless. Couldn't even answer questions about the porting process. And to be left in the dark and to be told a vague "3-6 weeks" for delivery of my silver 6+ is infuriating. Especially when I'm dangling between 2 carriers.

Crazy thing is if I had stuck with T-Mobile I would have had a phone on Friday since I was a JUMP customer and would have been put on a priority list. Albeit with a $199 up front payment.

Hope this isn't a sign of things to come! But hey...**** could be worse. There are people starving all over the world and I'm sitting here crying about a phone not getting here quick enough.
 
Did anyone else get charged twice ? On their cc I only had money for the phone and today i woke up with another charge and I'm at a negative balance!

To those that have received shipping notifications, when you check your account balance, are you still seeing the payment you made for the phone reflected on your balance? Mine still does and I'm wondering if this is another sign that I'm screwed.

Does anyone else have a tracking number for this phone that does not work on the UPS website? Everyone else who has a tracking number seems to be able to see it on UPS.

Wow, our SG 6+ iPhones got to sit next to each other on that long flight. If you get any order fulfillment info for our timeframe then please report it and I'll do the same.



BTW, I used Easy Pay which meant I had to place two orders separately.

300A: oy-shso-750561***
325A: oy-shso-750564***

So at the time they were getting roughly 3000 orders per half hour on their crazy website.

I have the exact same phone ordered and my tracking number doesn't show anything on UPS site yet either. Just says no tracking for that number or whatever the error is. I'm sure it will pop up sometime today.

Ok. Thank you. Were you able to track by reference? Because that doesn't seem to work for me in any possible way either.

sprint.com

i called order support yesterday and they told me they were back ordered and i would need to wait 7-10 days plus another 2-5 days. i was pissed!

within a few hours the sprint site updated that my phone was shipped. but i found my tracking # before sprint even notified me by using my sprint account # ( i had to chat with sprint on their site to get this since i am a brand new subscriber).

Also sprint never sent me an email saying the phone shipped. Even as of right now i haven't gotten the email although its leaving UPS' Kentucky facility today

And you got a tracking number/shipping confirmation already? Our order numbers are very close and I still have nothing.

i remember from the iphone 5 release that my status never updated ( through VZW or UPS) until i got the phone delivered to me day of launch!

hopefully this is the case with alot of you.

Have a shipping notice (although no delivery date yet) and the "payment" appeared on my account right away showing a negative balance owed for my next regular bill (ordered 6+ 128 space gray on 9/12 @ 4 am ET from Sprint online). I did it as an "upgrade" to my 4S but on the account, the 4S is still showing as upgradeable. I did buy outright with full amount up front and I know I will be reconfiguring my account anyway to move to one of the family share plans from my ED family plan.
