When I pre ordered my iPhone 5, the tracking info field was never ever filled in or updated. The phone showed up on release day. So there is hope. Don't forget they have to scan millions of individual iphone boxes at the original sort facility. They're bound to miss several "beeps" in the process.
Got a tip for us?

Thanks. I appreciate that. When yours was never scanned but delivered on launch day, were there a bunch of people that were getting tracking numbers a couple days beforehand?
Just an update to people. On preorder day at about 4 AM EST we ordered four iphone 6+s all 16GB. Two white, one gold and one black.
We received confirmation on one white one yesterday that it shipped with delivery tomorrow.
We received confirmation on the other white and the gold one today at 2 in the morning that they shipped, but UPS tracking didn't have record of those tracking numbers until about noon. Then they popped up saying they were entered today and are shipping to us tomorrow. Even though it's 2 day shipping, it looks like they are pushing them for delivery tomorrow.
Still nothing on Sprint's site for the black one. Someone at our work may be bumming tomorrow.

Finally got a UPS tracking information and delivery date which is tomorrow. This is for the 64gb Silver Iphone 6. Ordered Sunday night around 9pm.
Just talked with the UPS and gave him my cell number to call me when he's on his way to my job...

I remember back when i ordered the 5 to resell most of the info did not update till it came in the mail. Yes they will miss a few and ups did deliver it. Also remember this site is maybe 1/1000000 of the people who ordered the 6 from sprint.
Yes i believe there might be a shortage of 6 plus gray's but maybe most of them are either going to the stores or people got tracking but do not post on here. I counted maybe what 5-7 people? who ordered the plus 6 gray and no shipping.
I would check both sites and even if nothing changes from now till this time tomorrow do not lose hope it can show up.
Back in the ip4 days i never got shipping info and went to the sprint store and lucked out and got it. Later that afternoon ups showed up and i had to send 1 back which was not fun.
So before you run off to the sprint store if no tracking just remember you might end up with 2 and have to get a shipping label to ship 1 back.
Hope the gray plus 6's start to roll out on here.

I went with the spigen neo-hybrid metal. It's thin and seems to be well made. Has a tpu case and an aliminum bumper. Got it for $25 on eBay #

Just wanted to let you guys know I ordered the 64GB Space Gray iPhone 6 on Tuesday ~8:00PM Pacific time. Just refreshed my order info and have a delivery date of tomorrow.

I ordered this one as well. Spigen makes great cases
Not to scare anyone, but just letting people know that, using your sprint account # in the UPS reference section isn't always accurate. I'm 99% sure in my case now, that my Sprint Account # coincidentally is another orders reference # (how, I don't know).
BUT, I got all excited thinking my Phone was coming tomorrow, and that Sprint was just behind with updating my stuff. But there is so many odd things about this UPS order that doesn't add up.
I. It originated from Nashville (they don't have a center in Nahsville, but Kentucky).
II. The destination says Oklahoma (not california which is my address, and this hasn't been updated).
SO despite it having my sprint account # as the reference, despite it having the same weight as an iPhone, and despite it being set for delivery tomorrow, I do not think this is my order. I only say this, so that others don't get their hopes up.
This is only for those that were using the sprint account # in the UPS reference. Everyone else should be gravy.
*time to go back into my corner and cry*

On a side note, did anyone ever get a 16 gb + space gray model shipped? I know prior to last night, there wasn't a single 16gb + model shipped (or at least, no one reported it). But last night finally some folks were saying they got a shipment notification, but they were all silver or white/gold.
Curious if anyone finally got a 16gb + space gray model shipped. I guess at this point, it doesn't really matter. I'm 99% sure I will not get my phone tomorrow, and possibly won't get it for weeks. The insane side of me that can't let go, is still kind of curious though.

Well it was accurate for me and i think for everyone else. It was listed on there this time yesterday but not on the sprint site. Then late last night it changed on the sprint site to shipped.
Now on the UPS site it says it is on the way on time and coming to my house. I have nothing else coming from anyone plus the fact the sprint site now says shipped.
I've spoken now for the third time with a Sprint order specialist, and they indicated that my iPhone 6 plus 64GB Gray is currently awaiting pick-up by UPS at the Sprint warehouse, which is why there has not been a tracking number yet. Now I'm hopeful that the supply chain gets it to me for tomorrow. The warehouse is only about three hours away, so no air travel needed. Hoping that semi driver tonight drives with haste!
I guess I'm the exception to the rule then.
But that said, I just wanted to warn others to not 100% take it as guaranteed. BUT if it is accurate, then that's awesome. And well, I guess you are right, I seem to be in the minority. So maybe I shouldn't have made that post.
If you don't mind me asking, when you originally found the shipping order using your sprint account # reference, did it have your house/address listed at the top right? Like even before it was processed? Did that change later? Is there still hope for mine to change from its current destination to my house address?
Because as of now, the upper right hand corner says its destination is Oklahoma (Ship to). And I'm in Cali.
I received my tracking number around 12 noon today and UPS gave me an estimated delivery date of 09/19! YAY!!
BTW, iPhone 6+ GRAY and iPhone 6+ GOLD ordered at 4amEST on 09/12.
I live in Atlanta!

What GB was your phone for the gray +?
Which number did you call. I tried calling yesterday but all I got was someone overseas saying "Congratulations, your order will be shipped to you in 4-6 weeks". I haven't been able to reach anyone at Sprint yet could give me that kind of detail as to what's going on with my order.
