iPhone 6 & 6 Plus Sprint Pre-Order Thread!

Nobody who has ordered even on the 19th has seen the 16GB SG ship out. I ordered at 1 hour after preorders went live and have gotten nothing. There's another member here who ordered 10 minutes after pre-orders went live and still hasn't received anything.
iPhone 6 plus
I just called one of my local Sprint corporate stores and they still haven't received any iPhone 6 plus in stock ❗️So it's looking like a 4-6 week wait❗️

Wow. Damn. I'm just going to bail on this thread then. There is no point wasting my time on here constantly checking. There is just no way I'm getting my phone anytime soon. ****
Well, 6 jets landed overnight in Louisville and 2 more were en route to Alaska from China this morning. All I can to is hold out hope that our phones are on one of those flights.
Yeah but how do we know if any Iphones were on any of those planes? They would carry other things
For the 6+ 16GB Space Gray model, it will be a long wait. Assuming reports are true, manufacturers are producing only 140,000 6+ models per day. Around 50% of those produced do not pass quality inspection. That means only about 70,000 are made available each day. Assuming each 6+ variation is equally produced (3 GB sizes, 3 colors, means 9 variations), only about 7,777 are produced of the 16GB Space Gray each day. Of those 7,777 produced, they are then spread among multiple carries and Apple stores (at least 5 carriers) and multiple countries (those who took preorders on 9/12 and those who had releases on 9/19). In all likelihood and best case scenario, Sprint is only receiving a few hundred 16GB space grays in its shipments. A few hundred won't get you vary far - considering one person who ordered 10 minutes after preorders started has yet to receive shipping information.
Update: tracking number shows delivery of my iPhone 6 plus 2 day air, scanned orgin 10:35 am today it's now in Louieville,Kentucky as of 12:35pm today scheduled delivery end of day tomorrow. Ordered on 12 th 4:35 pm central time iphone 6 plus 64 gig space grey. Order number 750729.
Did you order your phone online or in Store?
I ordered a 6P, 16 GB space grey in a sprint corporate store here in L.A.. and was told they will call when it's ready. I also been checking Apple daily and it gives me all the stores in SoCal and some have been getting new phones daily... but so far no 16GB Space Grey for the plus.. but the phones come and go.. so when you see its available you can order it then and there and go to that store to pick it up... if I happen to see that happen, I'll just cancel the in store and pick it up at apple.
----------
He's right.. I also did In Store... at this point there is nothing showing for us in store people... but you can still go to an apple store because our Upgrade still shows ... and we will have to use it then.. and then you can Cancel the order for the phone AFTER it comes to the sprint store.
its kind of backwards.. but that's the only way to do it if you don't want to wait for the store to get it.
I wish I could do that. On the Apple website it shows the Sprint 6P 16GB in Gold and Silver is available for pickup around all the stores here in NYC. Too bad I'm on a SERO-P plan and won't be able to upgrade in store. I'm just hoping to get my phone before Halloween.
Yeah I am on a SERO-P plan as well. There are several stores in NYC which have been showing 6+ available for the past few days. I am just hoping that Sprint would eventually get some phones their way once all the Apple stores have their share. I am really disappointed with Sprint, I pre-ordered on 9/13 for two 16GB 6+ phones (one gold and one silver). So far nothing. If it weren't for the unlimited data and the cheaper SERO plan, I would've left sprint long time ago. I cannot believe they already charged my credit card for full amount even before they had the phone. Who the hell does that for a pre-order? Even for a $60 game, they charge it after it ships.
Add me.. Pre Ordered a 6P, 16GB Space Grey in Store.. 1pm PST ... since it was in store there is no order number.
----------
Also it was on 9/12
That's one thing that gets me but the other is the lack of communication. In this day and age with high speed automated scanning, how hard is it for Sprint to get a shipping manifest from Apple to know what will be coming in? The whole thing that gets me ticked off is the generic answer of up to 4-6 weeks.
That brings me to another topic, I know for mail and online order if they don't provide a date when you place a pre-order after 30 days you have to notify the customers of a shipping date or give a refund. I am not sure if this is the same for in-store pre-order. I was given the date of 9/19 when I initially placed the order. I am pretty sure there has to be some consumer protection law that we can use if we wish to cancel our pre-order.
Here's the link if anybody is interested

How do you get a shipping manifest for a device that isn't even manufactured yet?
Edit: I'm not trying to take a shot at you, I am legitimately curious as to how you'd get a tighter estimate considering it's a high demand device with low yields in the manufacturing process.

Iphone 6+ gold 64 gb
This is crazy i order first day (sep 12th)by 930am at my local corporate sprint store, iphone6+ gold 64gb. I went there to support the bricks and mortar store an let someone get a commission on my purchase, and I can even get a real estimate on delivery time, and the icing on it all my Iphone 5 just died last week. my order number is a 5p*****-BO if that really means back order they should have told me that instead of saying I would get one probably the first day. Haven't got any calls or emails, Ive been to the store 3 times since I ordered twice on launch day and yesterday the line was a 1 1/2 hr wait just to speak to someone. I call an no one picks up the phone. From what I can tell they never received any iPhone +'s I went by the apple store to get my laptop fixed an there they are getting shipment everyday.
Is there any way for me to cancel this BS order and get one from the apple store?
I am on a framily plan and using the easy pay option. at this point im even considering switching to the galaxy note, I don't like how apple has handled this whole thing either.

Well, I'm out guys. I think I might even cancel my order. I've lost 100% hope in them getting me my 16 GB + SG model within a reasonable time. If people that pre-ordered 10 min after pre-orders went up still haven't gotten their 16gb SG models, then that means we could be looking at a month before people that ordered hours after the site stopped crashing on Day 1 to get their model.
Seriously, **** sprint and **** apple. Apple did such a **** job with this launch, there is no excuse. When they have our models in their store, but can't even provide carriers enough to cover even 10% of the day 1 pre-orders, that is some ********. And screw Sprint for charging us the full price, and selling us a product that doesn't exist, with terrible communication and no idea of when we can even expect it.
This entire thing has soured me. Was fun (not).
