If you have a tracking number for your 6+, could you tell me what UPS says it weighs?
I have a 750571 order number (6+ 64gb silver ordered at 5am central) but separately I also ordered a 6 (64 gb gold with a 750572 order number). They have the same tracking number and I can't figure out why. The "why" doesn't really matter as long as they are both being shipped-- which it says they are. So we're trying to figure out if our shipment weighs more than others.
They're supposed to be delivered by the end of the day tomorrow.

IPhone 6 plus
I live in Ga and I called my local corporate Sprint store and they said that they didn't get any of the iPhone 6 plus in at all. This is on the 18th!

My package with my 6+ says 1.40 lbs. The one with just a 6 says 1.00 lb. If you're curious if both are in the same box, try going to Sprint.com/activate and see which phones on your account show the new phone as an activation option. If both show up with the new phones available for activation, they are likely both in that box.
Hey guys, my 6+ will be arriving tomorrow like a lot of you guys, but I work for Best Buy so I actually got to try the 6+ out today. We didn't get a single phone other than the one that will be a demo. The device feels incredible in hand. After using both the 6 and 6+, I'm very happy with my 6+ choice. Just thought id share.
My UPS info JUST updated in the last 10 minutes. My label for my 6+ now has a delivery date for TOMORROW via next day air!! Going to sleep like a baby tonight. Think I'll camp out on my front porch as I stare at the street all day, awaiting that beautiful brown truck. UPS doesn't usually come around here til after 3pm, but I'll deal.
Keep your hopes up guys!
Guys, I've been lurking since the start of the thread but never posted.
But posting now to give hope to all of you.
Ordered 9/12 @ 1302 pm in the afternoon. 6 Plus 128 GB Gold.
Order :75068xxxx.
Tried repeatedly from 2:00 am till 3:30 am CST, but after several attempts including one which proceeded smoothly until the final page, only for the site to crash again, I ultimately gave up and went to sleep. Finally got the order done at around lunch when I had some free time. So I had little hope, as I was in the second cohort of 4-6 weeks lead time.
I was pleasantly surprised to find an email from UPS stating that I'm about receive a 1.2 lb package from SPCS, LOUISVILLE, KY through Next Day Air Saver
with a scheduled delivery for 9/19/2014 by the end of day.
So I think it's a definite case of under-promise and over-deliver on behalf of Sprint.

Thanks for sharing! This is good to know. Some reviewers have been kind of negative regarding it's size, which I don't get at all. These same reviewers seem to rave over the Note 3/4 which is the same size but thicker and PLASTIC..
I ordred 2 16GB 6+'s, one gold and one gray at 1am PST on the 12th. Sprint provided tracking for only the gold model, but the package is 3 lbs, possibly containing both phones?
Did you try going to Sprint.com/activate? I did this yesterday when I was hoping my 6+ was in the box with the 6 and only the 6 was available to select for activation. I don't know if weight is entirely reliable because people are reporting widely varying weights. I wouldn't rule it out though. I've seen people post their order update page and it sometimes shows the same tracking number next to each order.
That was me and I've created two threads and multiple posts here regarding the issue. It sucks for numerous reasons which I'm not going to go into again but yes I ordered my phone the first hour pre orders were available and it's been acknowledged by everyone I've spoken to from order support supervisors to customer care supervisors that my order should have already received at least a tracking number, even have a director at a call center look into it. FYI director of a call center is the top person at a call center and it's extremely rare to have any interaction with one.
Everyone except the gentleman on reddit has told me no one can reach out to the warehouse and I still don't have a proper explanation as to why the holdup.
Sprint excels at many things for many people but no company is perfect and at the end of the day unlimited data is the key. But yes it's regretful this has happened and has cost me money due to accommodations I've had to make for the interim.
IDK if reddit guy came through or what but BAM! Got my tracking number for delivery tomorrow. Thank God and Reddit man.
Glad you got some good news!
I'm happily backing up my old 4S to get ready for restore on my 6+ tomorrow and gathering up my myriad of cases and accessories for listing on eBay. Hooray for Sprint!
Congrats to all the 64GB SG that are shipping!
Can anyone post the free code to upgrade UPS My Choice? I missed it. I would really like to upgrade, I have had my account for over a year. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone else signed up for the iPhone for Life Plan?
Has anyone else signed up for the iPhone for life deal and not gotten any kind of confirmation via email or on the Sprints site? It claimed to go thru and said delivery in 4-6 weeks but now it's as if I'd never done it.
Ideas?

Not sure u have to have the premium for it to show shipments coming to u. I may have used a code for premium last year so don't recall but think I have regular my choice and I was just alerted to the delivery

I didn't do that plan however if it's a new line then they are literally sending out alerts now. I ordered within first hour of availability and literally this hour just got my tracking for tomorrow.
Pretty sure if it's a change to an existing line it'll stay with your old plan until you activate your new phone. Because phones prior to 6 aren't eligible for the special pricing of that plan.
