Carrier iPhone 7/7+ Sprint Pre-Order Thread

So I'm having an issue currently with a phone reservation I got last night.
When I pull it up to finalize it, it's saying I might owe Sprint a down payment, and is therefor not letting me ship the phone, which is impossible considering I'm upgrading the phone using IUP.
I verified it's not a Sprint issue because I am able to place an order for a different phone and get the phone shipped. Apple support wasn't able to help me and pointed me towards Sprint.
Anyone else have this issue?

SUCCESS!
Just placed my order. Was originally going for a Black 128gb 7, but Sprint is offering the 256gb at the SAME price as the 128gb! Couldn't pass it up, and now I have successfully ordered a Black 256gb!
To my surprise, Sprint's website and my order confirmation says that it will arrive Sept 16, while other models/colors were quoted into October. Hopefully it arrives on time!

It's an upgrade of an existing line with no obligations using the iPhone Upgrade Program.
Probably depends on the store but for the most part they get their own stock

I'm pretty sure you pay $200 and $100 up front if you have the iPhone forever. It's $32 a month for both 128gb and 256gb to lease. Btw when you guys say expected delivery do you mean expected shippement? Because online it says that the iPhone 7 will ship on the 16th. I ended up getting the iPhone 7 plus 32gb, black and paid nothing. Even got the installation fee waived.
I7+ 128gb
[doublepost=1473456031][/doublepost]Here is interesting tidbit that is giving me hope, when you go to the order status:
"Your order for the iPhone 7 Plus has been received and will ship by 10/7 if ordered before 8AM CT on 9/9. Your order will ship by 10/21 if ordered between 8AM CT and 11AM CT on 9/9."
Either they moved the Jet Black stock to the stores and didn't have any in stock for preorder OR 10/07 is a real under promising/over delivery date and we have a shot at an early delivery like 09/16.
[doublepost=1473456469][/doublepost]If I had to bet, they time stamp orders by 3 groupings currently and not to the minute like we think.
Gee idk, how much are you putting down on this phone? How much is sprint giving you back? In my case I had to pay $400~ for my 64gb 6s plus if I wanted to buy it but I didn't. I don't need it, battery life is already bad with iOS 10.
Yea mine says 9/30 like the previous guy but I got an email from sprint like others have claimed and it says my estimated shipping is today so I wouldn't pay much attention to that.
Yes I did pay $200 up front. Monthly payments will only be $21. As far as delivery, my order status displays Delivery on 9/16 with a Ship date of 9/9 Since that is today, not sure how accurate that is. Seems like a pretty quick processing period.
I had the exact same issue. I ended up having to place a new order instead of using the reservation but it pushed my delivery date out 3 to 4 weeks instead of receiving it on launch day.
I work at best buy and the jet black iPhone are only available for pre-order through the website, but they were sold out when i first checked this morning (6am pacific) After work i went to my sprint store and ordered without a problem. Never order online its just a headache waiting to happen
Mine does. Showing Ship Date 09/09 but on status is 09/30, Nothing has changed.
Hmmm. I'm only seeing this:
The "Your order or a portion of your order is in backorder status" under "Status" worries me.
Nope, iPhone Forever people can pick either the 17 or 18 month lease. The program doesn't actually exist anymore, but both the 17 and 18 month leases allow upgrades after 12.
[doublepost=1473469834][/doublepost]If you guys are with Sprint why are you ordering through Apple? Sprint lets you upgrade after 12 payments and has better monthly prices overall as far as I know.
