Carrier iPhone 7/7+ Sprint Pre-Order Thread

I have always bought my phones from the carrier store. This will now be the last time I do so.
I usually buy from BestBuy,but there's no more 2 year contract via BB,so from now on is either Apple or Sprint web only.because if you call Sprint they won't sell you over the phone.
Apple might be 3-4 weeks presently, but weeks ago they were 6-8 weeks. Their estimated shipping times have been changing according to supply and demand. Apple has always said November for the past 2 months. But November is here, so it's changed to 3-4 weeks. I got my 256GB Jet Black 7 Plus almost 3 weeks ago from Sprint. Ordered it on a Friday night. Got it that Tuesday. That's better than what Apple is offering presently.

They will sell you 2 year contracts over the phone, they just don't want to because Leasing is the new way for carriers. They make more money off that. Besides, they want you off that legacy plan. Just like they "can't cancel phone orders" when actually they can. Just don't want to loose a sale.
so question. I pre ordered my iphone 7 plus jet black the day pre orders were allowed through my sprint store. well they ordered me the wrong phone and by the time that came in and we were able to reorder the right phone its was 10/10. I switched to the mb 128 gig to try and speed things up. my question is how much longer should I be waiting? Sprint says 11/21-12-6 is that a reliable timetable or is sprint pulling my chain. Ive been more then patient through all of this and just want my phone. Thanks for the help

If you ordered on 9/9, and haven't gotten it yet, something is wrong. I'd be contacting Sprint asap and asking for upper tier management.
It's weird. I keep hearing from supposed experts and pundits that the demand is lesening yet here I look at this thread and there are still people waiting for their 9/9 phones.
Just got an email at 4:21 CST from Sprint saying order shipped. iPhone 7+ 128GB JB. I am shocked to say the least.
Edit: Placed order at Sprint store at 2 pm CDT 10/18

Just weird I called to upgrade one of my lines and and 1st thing the CSR said, would you like to lease or 24 months installments.I said no I want 24 month contract.Then he replied sorry we don't do 24 month contract over the phone only online.Don't know why these POS lie to us.
More money is to be made with leases. It's cheaper to break a service contract than it is to break a lease agreement. Most most people will spend $500+ on total lease payments just to trade it in for an upgrade so they are just rolling in your dough for a device you won't get to keep in the end.
