I see mine on the list but the actual confirmation email was 1:45AM Pacific time not PM. So less then 2 hours after the pre order started. I really thought I would have had the phone or shipping info by now. I am switching to Sprint from ATT and this has not been a great first interaction with Sprint. They originally told me my phone was in and shipping and changed stories since. Does anyone know if the people that are getting the phones are mainly existing sprint customers or new customers?
Got a tip for us?

Well, I called and while they didn't tell me anything I don't already know they did say that if I wanted to cancel and get a vanilla 6 I could have it by this time next week, because they apparently have ten times the stock on 6 than 6+ and so the wait time is negligible. I declined the offer and will wait but they really don't know.
The girl I spoke with also said that the request for shipment is at the warehouse but the devices aren't so it's less "move from warehouse to truck" and more "waiting on the slow boat from China to show up." Whether that's true or not is another story but it does sound a little better than the thought of stacks of boxed 6+ units collecting dust in the warehouse while we twiddle our thumbs.

Haven't gotten a real answer other than the standard reply. But have been wavering about a plain 6. Wait time, Bend-gate, and the actual size have made me think about it. I went to a Sprint Store and that thing is massively awesome. Like 2001 Black Monolith awesome. I saw a guy throw a bone in the air.
Is anyone else having second thoughts?

I am, I just received my Spigen case (which came pre-scratched for my convenience apparently) and it really is huge. I'm having second thoughts about having switched to Sprint altogether though.
I preordered the 6+. I went to Apple Store a few days ago to check out the 6 and 6+. The 6+ is really big. I canceled my 6+ and ordered a 6.
Looks like another day of no shipments. Figures i'd be right at the cut off line of not getting it day one, but now getting it in 4-6 weeks. I'm very annoyed, it's available in some apple stores. But i don't wanna pay $1600 for 2 phones when i can pay it with my business over 2 years at same price 
You sir, are a hero. I went to that website this morning. Idevicechecker.com Found a Best Buy in the area that had iPhones in stock. Left on my lunch-break and drove 20 minutes to the Best Buy. Bought iPhone 6 plus 64GB. Turned in iPhone 5 for $225. Paid $202 for my new iPhone 6 plus. Left store. Came back to work. Elated. Canceled my order from Sprint, getting $427 back. Made money off the deal and I got my phone today. I'm so freaking happy. Take me off that damn list.
Everyone on here should just cancel their order and go to their local apple/bestbuy store and pick it up. Then we may all enjoy are new iPhones!
I will add you both. For some reason I can't log on to macrumors and the desktop so I'm using my phone. Soon as I get home I will add both.
I need both 5-6 digit order number.

I thought about it but best buy doesn't have any near me and apple doesn't do easy pay or iPhone for life and I would rather not drop over $400 right now.
Woohoo!! I will change your status once I am able to log in from computer..

Wow! Good for you. I'm on it now
Prepare to be one of the few left on the list bro..Im sure by tomorrow the majority of the rest will have canceled their orders and enjoy their new iPhone 6+. If I did not get my shipping info yesterday, I would have canceled it today and gone to the apple/bestbuy store after seeing the high success rate

Hey, if everyone cancels then I should be next on the list!! Heh.
If one shows up at Best Buy near me I can go there because I'm pretty sure they do easy pay but as of a couple hours ago I was SOL if I didn't wanna drop the $$ at subsidy.
Iphone
My tracking number is weird cause I ordered in store. And I'm happy for all the people going to get their phones at Best Buy. I'm still watching the plane tracker and there's an enormous amount of planes that have been coming into the warehouse so I'm going to hold on and hope for the best. I guess I can suppress my excitement for another week.

On the flight tracker, I can only see planes going from China to Alaska. How can I see the ones coming to the United States? EDIT: Never mind I understand it
It makes way too much sense to cancel it and get it thru normal channels.
Do it brah
Sounds like nobody had any shipped today or yesterday. My best buy says it's in stock, but it's not economically smart for me buy it.

It would if you were able to use easy pay.... and not pay the straight up price of $849 or whatever it is for the 64gb, It's easier to hide an extra $20 a month phone increase on your business taxes than a $850 straight up order lol

My phone shipped yesterday, or at least that is when I got my info. Scheduled delivery by Friday. I ordered 9/13 late afternoon
