Did anybody else pay the $14.95 for express shipping? I did hoping to get it sooner. But still says 9/30 for me

I didn't get the express shipping. From info on the net 7P 256 Black from Sprint is shipping 6-8 business days. I'm assuming that's from release date. It would be nice to get it shipped earlier but based on the usual iPhone supply drama I don't think so. I'm anxious because I did 2 years with 6 Plus.

I found this on the Sprint webpage, it looks like they just made a bunch of rough estimates depending on the phone one is getting.
Anyone have a different date than the ones listed below for the device they are getting?

Yep. Mine is up there for 9/30. If we don't get our tracking numbers tomorrow, it's unlikely we will get ours by launch day.
Wasn't there a guy in the thread earlier who said he's seen Sprint send the shipping email the day before? Don't lose hope yet!!
do you have a link to track them? sorry I'm lazy and don't know how to look it up lol. do you know which planes specifically?
Next one looks to be UPS 63 arriving at 1:07 AM EDT
EDIT: it looks like the three that are just now arriving are all about 15 minutes apart from each other. Gotta be iPhones!
This from the 6/6+ launch should help answer that...

If anything like previous years...http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...inside-plane-loaded-195-000-new-iPhone-6.html
I can't help but laugh at myself. Some person in China is busting their ass making iPhones. Another guy is flying over the Pacific and I'm on my couch watching Monday Night Football with a drink and a stogie saying "where's my f***ing iPhone LOL
You inspired me so I did the math.
Based off iPhone 6S and 6S+ box specs, the volumetric cargo capacity of a typical Boeing 747-400, and the breakdown on 7 vs. 7+ preorders shown above, I figure each plane can hold about 566,200 iPhone 7+'s weighing in at 106,445kg and 246,100 iPhone 7's weighing in at 33,961kg, the total of which is well within payload weight capacity guidelines for the jet.
And that's only the upper cargo deck!
EDIT: this would mean over 4 million iPhones JUST arrived in Louisville for Sprint's user base of roughly 57 million people
My Pre-order came with free Express shipping and mine is one of the 11/11 batches.
If correct...
But are those planes Sprint only? I feel like that's a lot to only be for Sprint. Probably includes Apple, AT&T, Verizon pre-orders as well I would guess.

If correct being the huge caveat there
It literally says this on that page:
If you placed your order in a store, you will not be able to track it here. The store will call you when your order is ready to pick up.
