UPDATE THEY WILL PROCESS THE ORDER OVER THE PHONE
Order by phone
1-866-275-1411
I was told 4 weeks however I'm doubting that since within 2 hours.
FINALLY, next year I'm calling my order in!!!
EDIT: I may have jumped the gun, the guy took FOREVER to get to the order part then I swear he said Oops, let me put you on hold for just a moment... yeah order issues.
EDIT2: Seems payment processing is now down

I've ordered by phone, called at 14 minutes after trying to load the website, took like 22 minutes to order by phone, such a looooooooong process. Kinda annoyed by the shipping charge :/
Shipping is only for easy pay option. All 6plus configurations estimated to ship 4 weeks from today, not 4 weeks from the 25th. At least that what they're saying.
So I placed an order online with Apple to pick up in the store on the 25th (I live next to a store). I wonder if they will allow me to purchase the iPhone with my forever plan, seeing that it was not available on the mobile app (weird right). After 2 hours of this sprint nonsense I got the delivery fee and activation fee waved through sprint and placed that order. It's just a phone really so it won't matter if I get it a few days later, but man, Sprint needs to figure something out. h
Got my orders in and I'm (rose) Gold.
Its funny that Sprint always has problems with these launches. Being in last place means you have the least customers so you'd think that taking a few orders would be easy.
Anyway, nobody should worry about the 4wk estimate. The system got back up at around 1:30 so any of us who've been trying for the last hour should be pretty close to the front of the line.
EDIT: Online order made at 1:30

Online?
One thing you can try doing is reseting the cache and trying again. Sometimes you get stuck in a loop. Luck.
It hasn't gone through yet. Clicking checkout from my cart gives me a blank page. The phones are just sitting in my cart.

it's funny i was on the phone forever and the card system went down and
had the same thing refreshed cache like someone suggested and ordered online no shipping charge
Finally after being on the phone for 35 mins being told I couldn't order the phone And had to go in store was finally able to get the pre order through online and paid nothing even though ordering through the phone would have cost me 25 bucks so thankful right now
I'm on a mac and have been using Safari and Chrome simultaneously trying to process the order for easy pay. I had called in and due to payment processing issues was told they'd call me back. While waiting I kept trying and finally got to checkout within Chrome but no further despite hitting back and continue a hundred times. Pulled up Firefox and Viola it went through first time.
Next year will call my order in or every 30 minutes try a different browser. Also for posterity in case anyone looks at this in a year, the Apple web site started working after an hour however easy pay and leasing was not an option there. Also the Apple store app on iOS worked immediately for me however no payment options there either.
