My phone was an upgrade and is coming inactivated. Once I receive it, I will need to activate it and change my phone plan. I will go to the Sprint store and have them transfer data, activate the new phone and change my phone plan. Per Sprint (for what that's worth), if it is an upgrade, it will arrive inactivated.
ok, literally JUST got the shipping email. 6+, 16GB SG, order # 750632....they really are getting them out!
Well, I had my hopes up when I saw the departure scan from ZhengZhou, but I see from others that it is just a ruse form UPS. So, I'm going to check tracking once per morning. If the phone is out for delivery, I'll make arrangements to receive it. If not, I'll check the next day. This is ridiculous. Agreed?
Tracking
Just got my tracking email from Sprint. Ordered in store on 9/13, 6+ 16gb Space Gray for in store pickup. Arrives on 10/2.

Wait what?! I didn't realize that those of us who ordered instore would be getting tracking emails. That means I can stop calling the store and stare at my email inbox and will a confirmation to appear.

It's not working lol
I know yours is only a 16gb, but it still infuriates me to see people who ordered after me get theirs...Im still at a loss for words. This is the worst.preorder.experiance.ever...shame of Sprint for dropping the ball and promising things they cant deliver. All to make their "books" look good before quarter end.
I'm going back to at&t as soon as it's feasible. AT&T was never any trouble I just thought the sprint deal was better for my family... boy did I blow this one.
I was told that you should still check with the store daily because they are getting some phones for walk-ins before preorders. I "preordered" an additional 6 (not +) 16gb on 9/24 and was told it would take about a week. Got my tracking email syaing it would be in store on 9/30. I walked in to the store on 9/27 and was told they had some in stock. Cancelled my preorder and walked out with a phone (albeit only 3 days early).
10am CST on 9/13

I can't get my store on the phone, I've called them (I kid you not) 59 times so far today and not once have they answered. I texted my sales dude and he's off work today. I can't take much more of this, I have an anxiety disorder and this is just feeding it jet fuel. I didn't realize I was going to need medical attention for preordering a stupid phone.
Did you order online or in the store? I feel that the online orders are coming before the store orders...
I place an order for a 16 g, gold iphone 6+ on Sept 16, around 10p, received tracking info, they're shipping it next day from Kentucky, due to arrive in central Illinois tomorrow by 10a 
SWEET FANCY MOSES I just got my shipping confirmation from sprint!
IPHONE 6 PLUS SPACE GRAY 64GB preordered on 9/12 at 10:54am
It's a 15lb package so several people are going to be very happy along with me.

problems getting credit after cancellation
Has anyone had a problem getting their refund after canceling the pre order? Sprint told me the process could take up to 14 days!! WTF?! They weren't even supposed to charge my card until it shipped. Never pre ordering again..

So the Best Buys near me show they have 6+ in stock but when I call they say they are not in stock, they are accepting pre orders now too.... Anyone else getting this story too?

What was your order number I ordered the same time 6 plus 64g sg 750681
I ordered in store so I have Order Number: OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL85147759. I don't think the two ordering systems are compatible.
I preordered the 16GB 6P in Gold via telesales on Sept 12 at 8:30am...STILL NO TRACKING NUMBER...
I wonder how long it's going to take sprint to Get through the 12th and 13th? Has anybody that ordered a 16gb SG Plus on the 14th or later got shipping?

I didn't have that story, I called and confirmed and when I did the lady on the phone said that they indeed had 6+ in stock but only gold and gray and only the 128gb model. I took the gold one and until yesterday the gray was still there, someone else got it now.
There are still some silver 6+ 128gb around me, looks like. I would have preferred silver over gold but I've gotten used to it now and really, REALLY don't want to exchange it. Heh.
