I preordered in the AM of 09/12 and my UPS choice and Sprint now show tracking numbers for 2 out of 3 of my phones. I have tracking for iPhone 6s 64GB (Gold) and iPhone 6s Plus 64GB (Silver). The iPhone 6s 16 GB (Rose Gold) has not shipped but Sprint is saying "they will try their best to deliver by 09/25".

I was under the impression the 6s in all colors had an anticipating 09/25 delivery date, per their website. Whats up with that!?

Probably less rose gold kits
 
Received a email this morning saying that my order has shipped from Sprint. (6s, 63GB, Gray, Order: Sat).
 
I just got the email that mine has shipped/with UP tracking info.

Ordered 64GB 6SPlus Space Grey - online thru Sprint.
 
I also got an email at 2:46 am, that my iPhone 6s Rose Gold 64GB Kit was shipped through UPS by second day air. I pre-ordered on the 12th by 11 am.

the wait has been torture especially since I sold my old phone on Saturday and am without a phone till this gets to my doorstep. Didnt realize just how much I rely on it and feel weird without it
 
How is sprint shipping these orders. The people that ordered later are getting shipped already as to where the people that ordered very first thing are not being shipped.

That's what I've been seeing mostly. It's odd especially when Sprint said after the 18th any other order would be delayed. No shipping yet for me.
 
Just checked my sisters email and her iPhone 6 plus 128 gb in Rose Gold shipped also. I order it for her on 9/12 but gave up on the website at 12:10 and called the order in.

I have Verizon and I'm deciding if I'm sitting this verison out - since they don't have the iPhone forever program

Anyway I would say so far Sprint did well with this launch to bad I don't have their service anymore.

Chances are people that ordered later on that are seeing shipping notifications ordered 6s which are moving relatively quickly. I ordered a 128gb rose gold 6s+ on launch at 5am EST and a 64gb 6s on the 17th. I had them shipped to two separate address so that I would know which was which when I received the tracking numbers and by sunday I had received a notification from UPS MyAccess for the 64gb 6s and was able to locate a tracking number which was originally only tied to my RMA Kit for my 6s+ on the sprint order website. So I was under the assumption that my 6s+ wouldn't be shipping for launch day. Well this morning when I checked the sprint website it had been updated and the tracking that was originally only tied to my return box is now also tied to my 6s+. So just a word for those of you that have a return kit coming that is showing delivery for Friday chances are they are trying to ship it along with you phone.

As of right now, I still do not have a tracking number through UPS or Sprint, really getting nervous about getting it Friday now which isn't right because I preordered right when they preorders started and people who preordered after me already have tracking numbers.
 
Im jealous of all of you. I sign for the forever plan about 2 weeks ago and had to pay the downpayment 175.00+tax
And ofcourse i want to upgrade to the S
But when did the pre order Sprint wanted me to pay another downpayment so i said to my self that cant be right so didnt go foward with the preorder because i want it to make sure if i have to pay again for something that i paid not even 2 weeks ago.so the next day i went to the store and yeap have to pay the downpayment again so told the lady if i can pre order thru the store and told me that if i pre order now ill get the phone by mid October and also told me ill have a better chance to get it comes launch day if i just walk in. Men if i knew that i would just do the pre order pay the downpayment and take it up with sprint later.

By the time of the iPhone 7 release you should be approved for no down payment as long as payments are on time no return checks or service interruptions

My sister used to pay the easy pay fee for years and when I offered to move her to my verizon account - The Sprint retention department approved her for 5 lines and she doesn't have a down payment for the iPhone forever plan

You probably didn't have any credit or have bad credit which is why you had to pay about $350 in down payments. It would have been deducted from your final amount of payment monthly anyway. But that's pretty much why. It sucks when it comes to credit scores. Had no credit for a while but when I finally had a good score it was worth the responsibility.

Iknow it sucks but the down payment is not the problem... The problem is that i might not get the phone on the 25 because i didnt pre order wich i should it have
 
So I have a tracking number for 1 of 2 phones I pre-ordered. My wife's 64gb rose gold 6 has shipped. My 128gb Gold 6+ has not.

However, I just checked my sprint account and it is showing a pretty large amount due. When I talked to them, they said they charged me for "canceling the lease early" (presumably on my wife's line that already shipped), but that the charge will be removed once we return her old phone. They said "this is how iPhone forever is supposed to work". This happen to anyone else?
 
See my credit is not that bad it should be close to the 700 so i dont know what sprint calls good credit but thats alright
I know ill get the downpayment back somtime according to sprint cs. Ooo well guess i have to try my luck as a walk in
 
I ordered mine on the 12th - around 4AM Pacific time...no issues. Originally told that it could be up to 4 weeks...

I should be able to see the shipping method at the end of the day once the tracking has been updated on UPS.

This happened to me as well, nearly 1,000 bucks on my account. I was told the same thing that once I return the phones the charges would drop off my account.

I also ordered three phones, only two shipped so far. The one that didn't ship was a iPhone 6s 16GB rose gold, they told me they are trying to get it out by the 25th but at this point I have no idea. Considering my 6s+ 64 silver and 6s 64 GOLD already shipped.

Yes, this is the same answer I got. I will be returning the iPhones to a sprint store though just to make sure they are received and I get a receipt.

Well it is good to know I am not the only one, did you receive a return kit yet? I have not, but was told it would arrive with the phones. It just seems kinda lame they charge first for a program they endorse. If I had not turned off auto-bill-pay I am assuming it would have went ahead and charged my card.

Edit: Also, my bill is due in 2 days (fully paid off before this). I hope they don't say I am overdue because of this, but I am not paying the "lease ending fee".
