Just got off a chat with sprint...
I've been told that "Once inventory is received, your item will be shipped to the address you provided. An email containing the tracking number for your order will be sent to the email address we have on file. It is very possible that we have already received the inventory at our warehouse however the information is not updated yet. I would recommend checking back tomorrow during a business day as that is when the warehouse would update this information."

All the iPhone cargo jets have safely arrived in Louisville this morning. They're probably getting molested by customs agent right now and then a short road trip to the Sprint warehouse.

You make great points. I was surprised they couldn't get their site working for the pre order experience. I


That's good news. I never seem to be able to ever hear the delivery guy... even when I sit next to the door. I often get work through the mail. Fun times in Arlington I guess :)

TX? You must befriend your UPS guy or gal for one's sanity especially on iPhone day.

Hey I'm in Mansfield, just south of Arlington, TX. Too bad I don't know any of the local UPS folks.

I'm doing all right. I'm on the numbered upgrade path (I prefer external redesigns over "S" internal updates) so I did not participate this year. I'm also in a lease on my 6+ so there is that as well.

Be visiting the Apple store today. Managed to crack my screen on Friday so I'm getting it replaced.

Things have definitely gotten better for Sprint in Phoenix. Except for around home. The two towers whose coverage I switch between at work (just by going from one end of the building to the other) have both had power turned up (I've done 12mbps+ down at work now). It's good enough all around that my Android tablet can do Google Maps in follow me mode in the car AND stream my Google Play Music library.

We got two tablets as part of an upgrade promotion when we got our 6 and 6+. Crap Android tablets, but are LTE capable and useful for things like this (my '97 Honda Accord does not have a NAV system :D).

But home is same old same old. Sub 1mbps speeds and there are still places I go that I know I won't get signal or coverage at all, like the Old Spaghetti Factory on Central. I was displeased to see 1x at the table last night.

I'm hoping they get the NDN densification started quickly and finish up NV soon.
We were close to going with the 6 last year but bit am I glad we didn't. The 6 doesn't have Spark capabilities. That and the 2GBs of RAM. Our cars are also older (2009 and 98 mint Lincoln town car :cool: ). I'll drive tha Lincoln until the drive train falls out. They just don't make em like that anymore. It's like driving in my living room lol.

Anyway...glad to hear you're doing good!! Talk soon :)

Well, the 6 does have Spark. Bands 25, 26 and 41. What it does NOT have is the ability to take advantage of Sprint's carrier aggregation.

The 6s and the 6s+ will though.

I feel the same way with my Honda. :D
 
Hey guys, I have a tracking number!!!

My order status has not changed on Sprint's site, but UPS says I have a package scheduled to be delivered on 9/25 from SPCS in Louisville, KY!

If you don't have UPS MyChoice, sign up now!
 
Last year I pre-ordered through Sprint and I didn't get a shipping email or the tracking number on the order status page until after my phone was delivered on launch day.

Yeah... Sprint.
My info updated 11pm on Thursday night and was delivered the next day.

Sprint really dropped the ball last year. People were tracking the flight their phones were on and this and that and many of us got squat for the "places my phone has been" experience.
 
Edit: deleted previous reply as I misread original post.

After numerous false starts getting my order through I completed my 6s+ order around 530EST and still no tracking number via UPS my choice.

I also have a tracking number from UPS my choice to be delivered on the 25 by end of day. The label for shipment was created today.
 
Ordered phone yesterday, and UPS is showing a tracking number but no update on Sprint webpage on status.
 
What model did you order?

6s Space Gray - 64GB

From Springs ETA all 6s' are still showing 25th delivery, with 6s+ showing pushed out dates if you order now, but they could be bulk assigning tracking numbers. Will update if status changes.
 
Will it just show up, or do you use the order/confirmation number?

UPS MyChoice automatically pulls all incoming shipments for your address. So if you're signed into your MyChoice Delivery Planner, it should just show up :)

I just signed up for MyChoice tonight. It lets me access delivery planner but is there any kind of confirmation process I need to do for this to work fully?
 
Nothing in my delivery planner. Ordered a SG 128GB 6s+ at 4:41PM CST for a 9/25 delivery.

I should mention that I ordered two phones: One 128 GB Space Gray 6s Plus on 9/12 around 2:30 CST. And one regular 6s, 64 GB Rose Gold a couple days ago.

Judging by the weight of the package showing up in my delivery manager, I'm guessing it's the regular 6s and not the Plus. Which is strange since I ordered the Plus on launch day, but they probably have a bigger supply of the regular 6s.

I don't think so? But I'm guessing they will email you if you need to verify anything.

Yeah the 6s was still showing delivery by 9/25 for all colors this past Friday.

I also ordered a 6s+ then a 6s a day later. I have the a package showing in MyUPS that has a weight of 4lbs. Seems kind of heavy for one phone, but figured they would ship separately. What was the weight of yours?

My weight is showing as 1.1 lb. I figured they would ship both together, too, so I thought that was a little weird (although I ordered my regular 6s six days later, so there's a bigger difference there). On the Sprint community forum, someone has a Plus shipping with a weight of 1.3 lbs.

4 lbs seems way too heavy! Lol. Maybe the weight of the packages aren't accurate after all
