While I don't doubt your customer service experience, I can almost guarantee you've never experienced customers like these inquiring on a product like this so frequently.
Here's the thing my friend.
Everyone on this thread has is sharing their experience with a preorder of a iPhone 7. Some are having a worst experience than other.
I ordered my phone on Sept 9 3am est
Got tracking on September 24
Phone still hasn't moved
If a tracking label is created it's put on a box that includes the phone.
UPS picks up package and delivers next day air.
Yet my package shows no movement after almost 6 days
I call customer service and order support and no one will acknowledge that there is a problem.
I paid $200 upfront for something I don't have.
I email the SVP of Customer Care and get a call back in 5 min.
So now I have someone else searching for a phantom iPhone
The iPhone I order shows up on my bill for the monthly installments
Oh yeah I don't even have the phone
If I had let this sit I would have a bill for something I don't have.
I had to stay on the phone for 2 hours to get Sprint to credit my account the amount of the first payment
Let's say I let this sit and wait for updated tracking on a phantom phone. I'll be billed for next months payment because no one at Sprint is going to call me and say hey did you ever get the phone ?
No but they will call and say where's our payment.
So I'll call and email this person and that person until I get a fair shake. Because I'm not getting one.
It took only seconds for Sprint to take my money yet after getting a tracking number for a phone that supposedly exits and I have nothing.
5 days after being notified "Your Phone is on the way."
Louisville to Philadelphia doesn't take 5 days by air not even by ground.
So my advice to you is not to concern yourself with people on this thread and what they do. This thread isn't for you.
Go to the "why did they remove the headphone jack" thread or something.
