Carrier iPhone 7/7+ Sprint Pre-Order Thread

Sprint is really on top of the game, my package was picked up this morning at 5:38 am in Louisville by UPS, arrived at BWI airport in Baltimore MD at 6:56 am and departed BWI at 9:15. I assume it's at the UPS hub about 30 miles from me to be delivered Monday, but sprint.com/my order is still showing the order as processing.

Interesting.

I was talking with my nephew who works for Best Buy and had said the demand from what he saw for the 7 Plus was much higher than the standard 7 and that he felt "the supply chain on the 7 plus is not up to snuff to the supply chain on the 7" (which we all probably inferred anyway).

Curious.

Ok just wondered, I saw where BB had the 256 gb version, you could call sprint and tell them to shove your order and reset your eligibility if you ordered on an upgrade, order from BB online and have it by Wednesday 10/5.

Someone from Sprint called me today, he said they are trying to get it shipped to me this weekend. He said the RG is not popular color and they have sent it to escalation, which I am have already been in touch with them too. I will keep BB in mind though because I am really getting tired of waiting.

I just sent an email to Marci, as well. We'll see if I get a response, and what she/her office has to say.

When I talked to somebody Friday she told me the opposite and that RG was pretty popular and that if I wanted a gold phone instead I could probably get it a couple of days sooner. I didn't want to risk it though, because who knows what would happen if they changed anything about my order at this point.

I will have to ask them about that when they are suppose to call me Monday. I just don't want to cancel because we already had to put down 100 and the taxes.

Oops, fixed it. Yes, marci@sprint.com works as well. I did get a reply saying someone from her office would be in touch.

I did not get an email but someone called me yesterday, twice. He said he would be off Sunday and Monday but someone else would touch base with me on Monday. So we shall see. He was trying to see what he could do and they are trying to get me a tracking number this weekend but it does not look like that is gonna happen.
[doublepost=1475432887][/doublepost]So I just chatted with order support to see if there was an update...no expecting one...he said they are waiting for an update from Apple beginning of next week.

You and I know as much as he does. It's when they come in, they come in. When that happens it's a free for all of pushing to people on waiting lists and any left over are going to first come first serve I believe.

Smh, that would explain it
 
My order at best buy has no movement and is suppose to be delivered tomorrow. I have bad luck with everyone i guess.

I created a survey the other day and had people within the AT&T pre-order thread reply back. Here are the results I gleaned from the first 100 people I surveyed:

And to think I was considering cancelling mine with Sprint and buying at Best Buy. I think I may just wait it out. Knowing my luck I would cancel with Sprint then 7+ 256GB RG would sell out at Best Buy.
