Sooo I am completely new to this. I have seen istocknow mentioned a few times (which really doesn't help me much in the grand scheme of things since the nearest apple store is 3 hours away). I know its whats in stock at certain apple stores but how does that relate to buying phones from sprint or does it? I'm just asking because on Saturday it showed only 4 stores had my phone in stock now its up to probably 30+ and there is more every day. Does that translate to us getting phones earlier from sprint possibly or no?
Got a tip for us?

oh yeah trust me i know. i talked to marci and some her people who just keep saying it should be their with in a few days but gave me a $75 credit. no lie i am 4 days away from its dates that it may go out. im just getting impatient cuz i know its close and im on 30 days. how long it take for u to get urs?
I ordered mine on a Friday. I got tracking on that Sunday evening around 7PM. It wasn't in UPS's system until about 8AM Monday morning as "Processed. Ready for shipment". It stayed there until about 11:45 Monday night when tracking went live and it started showing progress and a delivery date.
If you ordered it before 4PM ET Monday-Friday, it should ship that evening, which means you should start getting tracking information updated quickly by midnight since it's next day delivery. If it ships friday, you won't get it till Monday so transit may not start till like Saturday evening or Sunday so may be a long delay from when details start showing. I think I had just long periods of silence because They got it ready for shipment Sunday night but didn't get picked up until Monday morning. And then it didn't actually start it's transit until Late Monday night to be delivered for Tuesday morning.

Apple store inventory and Carrier inventory are totally different. Apple has a separate stock they send to their Apple stores, Best Buy, other retailers, and Carrier's have their own stock that Apple sends them. Apple stores may have a device in stock on a regular basis in their Apple stores, but Sprint, doesn't have the same amount of stock, or Sprint's stock is sold/sent out for pre-orders as soon as they get it. It just depends on the retailers demand of their own inventory.

I ordered on 9/10 JB 7+ and had an estimated delivery of 11/11-11/18. This past weekend, Sprint has an abundance of JB 7+ in the 256GB variant available to ship immediately, so I canceled my 128GB on Friday and ordered the 256GB and had it delivered yesterday. But all the 256 7+ models that were available to ship immediately all sold out as of yesterday and are backordered again.

wow! i shouldve just got 256gb instead of 128g because it seems like that was the popular one until now. but im so close to getting it so i will chill. you did a good job and canceled it
which one did u order? what and when was your last e-mail from sprint before you got tracking. im just trying to gauge where i am in this process
Those emails they send out are mass emails to everyone who still has an unfilled preorder. They aren't customer specific so they don't mean anything to when you will get it.
I haven't heard anything from my order either. Same phone, 9/17 order date. It hurts to read posts from other carriers seeing them order around 9/25 and get a tracking number lol
Hey I ordered on 9/17 at 3:00 and I got my tracking number today! So if you don't get it today maybe tommarow, keep your head up!
I ordered a MB 7+ 128gb in store,
the last email I got was the one saying that my order was being delayed till 10/19-10/24
I got the shipping confirmation email saying that my phone was on its way
Hopefully it gets here tomorrow "fingers crossed"
Yes! Yesterday i was looking at Verizons thread and people who ordered the MB+ 128 on 9/25 were getting their phones. When i ordered mine on 9/16 and barely got tracking this morning.
If i received tracking this morning but it hasn't registered with UPS yet will i get it tomorrow or Friday? Hoping its not being delivered Saturday since it's being delivered to my work and noone will be here Saturday.
Most likely tomorrow. I highly doubt it will take two days if you got tracking this morning
Question, you got your order 2 days after you got your tracking number on a Sunday. Well I got my tracking today on a wendsday when do you think it will be here if you know?
[doublepost=1476917708][/doublepost]
thats wats up! it prob will be their tomorrow
So if I ordered in store I should be getting an email with tracking? Cause, the only emails I've gotten so far are "Worth the wait" and "Free screen protector". I ordered a MB 7+ 32gb on 9/18 round 1 o'clock.
You will get an email when they assign a tracking number to your order. Expect tracking next week based on when others in the thread got their tracking number.
If you got a tracking number yesterday, it'll be here today.

Sure does. Tracking should be updated by now.
You sure are right thanks for the help I've been waiting for over a month and now it's finnaly here!!! I wonder if they will call as soon as the store opens?
