I think the most disappointing part is that Sprint wont let you cancel the order to take your money elsewhere. Apple and AT&T will let you cancel with a single button. The dates that were given to us were truthful to a point. The Apple Store is shipping early but it's like these carrier stores have no connections lol . "Jetblack 128 GB Plus October 7th"

Where are you!?

I'm in a perpetual state of anger.

Maybe it has something to do with the insane amount of debt they've incurred from their years of awful business decisions, poor customer service, and abysmal product service.

Does anyone else remember the $100,000,000 joke of a marketing campaign for miserable Samsung Instinct? I do.

Well my thoughts are that sprint isn't going to ship next day tomorrow. No tracking today so I won't see my phone until next week.

I would be fine with this except it misses the original promise date, and it's getting harder and harder to accept devices ordered after me have shipped and received.

Really regretting this whole ordeal.

Monday I begin the process to cancel and push Sprint to let us out of the iPhone Forever program and allow a different device to be ordered. I believe I'm done with Apple, maybe Sprint.

I'm really salty at the big "**** you" Sprint gave those that bothered to get up when preorders began only to deal with a broken site and being told they could have waited a week and still had the same shipping window..that didn't matter.

Just tell them that you found and purchased the phone elsewhere due to not wanting to wait any longer. They canceled my order right then and there.

Yeah, it was made clear to me today that Sprint doesn't give a flying fornication about the people that stayed up for the pre-orders. Which is stupid since we give them a lot of money on a very constant basis. I'm not done with Apple, but Sprint can suck a cock through a fence.

I would LOVE to get my JB 7+ by October 7th. Would you like to switch dates? Mine's only a tad further away at 11/11? :)

I'm just mad I preordered a phone I still don't have, but people can reserve a phone on Apple website and get it the same day. I want to do the same but I'm not tryna lose my iPhone forever plan
 
Having the feeling of being powerless sucks.
Nothing will come of this but felt I needed to email Marci once more.

I feel a little better.


Hello,

While I truly appreciate that last month bill was wiped out, it wasn't what I wanted. I am grateful. Given that your company once made me pay for a device I won elsewhere upon an upgrade, after being told I wouldn't be required to trade in upon said upgrade, you're still about $300 in the hole. I paid that because you were the only carrier that had service in our area.

That has changed.

What I wanted was an explanation as to why those of us that bothered to wake early in the morning to preorder have been put in the same delivery window as those that ordered a week later. A window that approaches in two days and still no sign of the orders being fulfilled. Regardless of Apples supply to Sprint, this has been handled horribly.

How should I feel about the process now that I'm seeing orders for devices that were supposed to ship after mine being delivered?

How can I understand that the only updates we receive are emails that state delivery dates that still aren't true?

How can I understand that I could have just waited and picked up an order at an Apple Store instead of with the company I've spent so many years supporting?

I'm not alone. I know you have to know that. I find it astonishing that a company fighting so hard to gain new customers and regain 3rd place amount its peers seems to care so little about long established customers.

So please, tell me why I should stay with your company? I don't want apologies. We have endured some pretty rough times with your company. Please, why should we continue?

Others offer more for the same prices. We have invested so many years it isn't easy to just leave. Given this experience combined with the past though, it's getting easier by the day.

Sincerely,

Lmao. Yes, Sprint is trash. I was a Verizon customer for a very long time but they got too expensive and I was tired of jumping through hoops to keep my unlimited data. Anyway. I just got off of chat for the 2nd time today (being annoying & trying to get them to give me a statement credit for making me wait :) )
Here's what I got: We do apologize for delay in delivery of your brand new iPhone due to high volume. I understand the excitement and happiness a latest phone comes with. Please be assured that will leave no stone unturned to deliver your phone at the earliest also due to delay from the expected date customers will receive a notification post which one time inconvenience credit for $25 will be applied.

I'm going to have to write something similar to that. I'm done being friendly. I've done my best, but after today's spinout, that is over. I'm going to sink my teeth in and hold until I taste blood. I want this botched roll out to be a milestone in Sprint's final steps before its collapse. Too many people are being screwed out of money and being treated like total crap to act like I want to say nice things anymore. And I am really good at stuff like this. Sprint did something incredibly stupid to me today, and now I'm on a mission.

I could have worded mine a little better, but anger grew while typing and, well...
