I'm typing on my iphone 6 plus at this moment. Got space gray 64 and silver 16gb in same box. Ordered 3:00 AM on pre-order day received on 9/19 at 1230pm.. I will definitely never use sprint.com ever again.
Has anyone received a tracking number for today, I ordered 12th ordered went tru at 4:30pm Iohone plus space grey its a new Iohone for life account i got the same in the warehouse preorder message as everyone else. No tracking number from sprint yet.
The best place is Best Buy. They had dozens of them in stock along with screen protectors. Sprint didn't have many and they wasn't as nice as the ones in Best Buy.

Forget about Sprint emailing you. I received my iPhone 6 yesterday and I've yet to receive an email from them.
Just an update. I ordered at 10am EST at a Sprint Store on 9/12. My plus 64GB SG has not arrived, nor have I received shipping. I'm getting furious.
I work at best buy. We received a lot of cases for the 6 and about 10 different cases for the 6 Plus. Trying to figure out if I want to put a case on it when I receive my phone or just buy the zagg glass screen protector.
When I ordered in the Sprint Store they said "it should be in on the 12th and we'll call you when it arrives"
Did your 'order status' page on the sprint site not update as well? I got emails for all the other iPhone 6 pluses and the one 6 I ordered but, this one I have yet to see an email or update on the sprint site. I am hoping that I am one of the few lucky people that were in for a nice surprise because of the lack of email/update on the sprint site.
I was told the apple stores got re stocked this morning. What people are doing is going on the apple website and seeing if it is avil for store pickup.

Unfortunately we won't know until they let you know. You CAN try to find out about shipment details by going to UPS.com and searching your Sprint account number under reference number tracking to see if anything comes up - others had success doing that.
I ordered mine on Tuesday evening. I am holding out hope for a tracking number sometime next week but with people still missing theirs from the 12th and 13th That hope may be a pipe dream.
I ordered my last iPhone on 9/13 (Saturday) and it was a 6 plus, have yet to receive an email or update on the sprint site. I have received all of the other iPhones I ordered on Friday morning, just not this last one. Several people have reported their devices miraculously showing up at their local sprint store/home/delivery address without an email/update on the sprint site. I am hoping that will be the case for the 6 plus I ordered Saturday.

I would not e surprised if yours shipped by next weekend. Seems like Sprint is really cranking out phones! At least were not all waiting 4-6 weeks like they said.
----------
Im assuming this wouldn't work in my case as I ordered mine from Sprint?
Yes I did get a tracking number from sprint site (order status page). I found out from UPS a day earlier about my shipping before Sprint.
My hubby also ordered a 64 gb Space Grey 6 plus and don't show anything on UPS or Sprint for possible shipping. Still checking it every few hours and hopefully it will be delivered next week.
Went to the sprint store today, they have plenty of 6 64gb and 128gb. No 16gb. And totally out of 6+. That phlablet is wayyy to big IMO for phone use. I have pretty long fingers and still struggle with one hand to even hold it.
You folks panicking on tracking numbers, don't. I did not get my tracking number until friday morning letting me know its out for delivery. I ordered the 6+ SG at 5:30am the morning of pre orders. The idiots at sprint don't have a clue either. I was on the phone thursday checking the status and was told 4 to 6 weeks even though my confirmation stated 1 to 3 weeks. Wife bought her 6 yesterday around noon at sprint in st cloud mn. I went back there at 7pm to get a screen protection and they still had the 6's available. After looking at the wife's phone, I probably could have been fine with the 6, but the 6+ is one awesome phone, just very bulky. Good luck to those waiting on your new phone. The wait is worth it, especially if your coming from a 4S like me.

Why not? i do not care what people say if the order has not shipped and you go find one in stock you can cancel the current order.
I have been with them for 14 years and i called and said if i get tired of waiting on the 2 others i ordered for my Son and i want to cancel this order can i and they said sure. Of course they do not want you to but nobody can force you to keep a pre order that has not shipped yet.
What i would do is find the apple store and see if they have it in stock. My Son checked and they have 1 but the 128GB in stock in Tampa but he does not want to drive there.
But if you find one in stock in a apple store i would go there make 100% sure it is there and they will sell you it then i would call sprint and tell them FO i found it in stock at a apple store and please cancel my order. If they said no i would said okay i want to cancel my service. They would change tunes so fast in 2 minutes it would be off pre order.
I have done these many times do not let them BS you.
You can track all shipments by your sprint account number, no need to wait on sprint to respond or update. Maybe next week.
Yes, in the 'reference' section.
----------
Damn, well nothing yet when I try to track in the reference section with my account number, keeping my fingers crossed.
Another update. Called order support. I ended up being on the call with them for an hour and twenty minutes. It turns out my order was in limbo and the person at the store screwed up my order when it was placed. I now have a new order in my same place in line (9/12 at 10am EST) and I'm having it shipped to my home instead of the Sprint Store. This way I can use my choice. I'm pissed but also relieved that they were able to figure out the problem and rectify it. My order is now being overnighted and I'm expecting it Monday.
The selection SUCKS for both the 6 and 6+. They have Speck cases but they're pretty ugly in my eyes
