You can take me off the list. Targets randomly got the 16gb Plus Space Gray models en masse. Just out of the blue yesterday, every single Target in my Area had like 200 + of these models in store. I had to fight with Sprint, and they finally canceled my pre-orders.

Walked right in, no hassle. So easy. NEVER AGAIN. I'm never pre-ordering with Sprint. They are con artists.



EDIT: Yeah I used idevice tracker to find this out. Thanks to whoever posted that. Was infinitely more help than anyone on Sprint.

And yeah, I canceled my order over the phone (using the 5 5 2 method). But I had to fight with them. They gave me a hard time.

I got my 6P space grey 16GB from Target tonight! After I called sprint and they told me I could not cancel my in store pre order I went ahead and just got it from target since my account did still show I had my eligibility since they don't have a tracking number. The bad part is I had to pay $299 again and I won't get my $299 from sprint until the phone shows up in the store.. Which could be another month.

Lesson learned today is never preorder from a Sprint corporate store. I also used the idevicetracker and saw a lot of Target, Best Buy and Apple stores in Southern California with Plus phones. I called each store to verify first and some had them and some ran out. While I was getting my phone one person called to get mine and another guy wanted an AT&T plus but said I'll take any carrier and he told him sorry he only got one shipment for a plus this week and it was the one he was giving to me. I good thing I didn't sit around and went to make it happen.

I advice everyone to use the tracker unless you preordered online and you have a tracking number. If you don't have a tracking number and it's showing your eligible for a phone, get the phone first then cancel after.

Glad you got your phone after all the hassle you went through yesterday. Just call your bank and tell them you never received your phone. They will issue an investigation, but my bank Wells Fargo usually temporarily issue my money back. You will get it back quickly if the the bank investigate because you have yet to receive the product. Good luck with that.

okay, so my cousin is going through the dilemma of never receiving their iPhone 6+..They ordered 9/12 and they have not got a number yet..I told them they should cancel and they did..The one place in the whole city that has the phone he wants is target.. and they only have one phone..they got their upgrade eligibility back immediately but not his money.. My cousin needs his money back before he can buy it..We canceled it today..he paid through his debit card and he is wondering when he will get his money back as the target store is only holding onto it until tomorrow at 5PM. please help him out! when will he get his money back?

He still should call his bank and tell them the problem. Maybe the bank will sympathize with him. Unfortunately, you don't have much protection when you use debit on your card.

Same here. Have the cellular company call the bank to release the funds

Guys cancel your pre orders. I went to get a case for my iPhone and spoke to a guy at the best buy mobile. He told me that everyone knew that there was not enought stock to take pre orders on the iPhone 6+. Sprint and their corporate stores knew that a good portion of their preorders were really back orders that they would not get until October. That best buy mobile store didn't take any pre orders for iPhone 6 plus. Sprint should of done the same and they know it. But just wanna secure their transactions a month in advance.

What's driving me nuts about this is my best buy HAD pluses yesterday (they're out now of course) but my sprint store hasn't had any come in except for preorders in 128g, my preorder for a SG 6+ 64g still shows "booked, awaiting shipment". I'd think after all the flights that have been tracked coming over from China filled up with iphones that mine would have been in there somewhere. I'm losing my grip on reality

Sounds legit, tbh. Sounds like Sprint is worried more about their numbers and locking in a sale. Best Buy being retail will get walk in traffic regardless so will get their money either way.
Pretty fed up with Sprint and their copy and paste responses, at least be up front with your customers!
 
Phone

I just talked to a Sprint person via chat and she called into the store I bought my phone from and talked to the guy. She said that my phone won't be expected any time before next Friday. So much for pre ordering. I would go to Target and pick up the phone I want but I don't feel like paying AGAIN for the same ****ing phone.
 
None#

I just can't believe that there are no iPhone 6 plus in none of the Sprint stores or Target or Best buy for at least a month and No Apple stores.
 
Almost every Apple store in Northern California have the 6+ in stock today. Did an online chat to just make sure they do not offer the iphone 4 life plan and they do not.
 
Just wanted to chime in and say thank you for all the help in this thread i will still lurk here and there and be of help if i can but it is sad when we are all getting our phones from retail stores.

BUT DO NOT BLAME SPRINT. Each carrier has this issue and it is Apple. Apple has its own ways of doing things. They control how many go to best buy and how many go to sprint. Sprint is just like the others a pawn. Apple wanted the 5 plus out there ASAP and sent so many to each place.

Here in Florida it is easy to get your hands on a 6 plus now. If it is 16GB you want Target has them. If it is 64GB or 128GB then best buy and apple have them.

Cases are even harder to find as target and walmart have none. Best buy sold out of the few they had.

Apple causes this for a reason. They want the hype to go on. There is always a shortage or something. If there was a glut of them people would not run out as fast to get them.

Samsung always has a ton of S4 or 5 OR NOTE 2 3 4 when they release cause they want to dump it all on the market right away cause there are MANY android devices.

BUT there is only 1 IOS Apple only competes against Android as a whole there is no other apple.

So do not blame sprint as they have had as many or more of the plus out there as the others.
 
Latest

Well I cancelled only to find they set up my device renewal date sometime in October! I was eligible before this fiasco!

I have a text message from Sprint themselves from September 10 saying I'm eligible. I'm on hold with them now waiting to sort this out.

Big waste of time driving over to Best Buy at my lunch hour only to find I wasn't going to get jack.
 
Nope

;)

Well here in Cumming Ga none of the stores got the iPhone 6 plus in at all! Not even the retail stores. And definitely not on release day!
 
Go ahead and take me off of the list. I cancelled my preorder and picked up a 64GB space grey 6+ this morning.
 
Wish I had the option closest anything g that has a 6 plus of anything over 16gb is an g out and a half away so I wait has anyone received any update?
 
And....

And it just keeps getting better. They claim they can only adjust my eligibility date to September if I order thru them online!

Now escalated to someone that at least sounds like they're stateside (well, the last guy didn't have an accent, just a big wad of gum in his mouth that made it hard to understand him).

Sounds like by the time they get the eligibility date sorted the phone I was looking at will be gone.

I see 128 gb space gray 6+ in Buford right now.

I see another in Duluth.

Both at Best Buy locations.

Yeah, it's a half hour or so from Cumming and I don't know how willing you are to drive, of course, but that would be within my personal drive radius, which is why I suggest them.
 
+1 for Sprint. Of course my local Sprint store has no idea about my pre-order. Spent an hour on the phone with employee care because I am on a SERO plan. She called order support and was told that all pre-order done on the 12th was already processed but none of their systems can see any order for me or the store I ordered from, nor do they have any shipment going to the store. The only thing they see is a in-store reservation and the card that I swiped on the 12th. So officially my order is in limbo along with everybody who pre-ordered from the same store. Worse part is I'm on SERO so I can't upgrade at Best Buy or Target.
