I just got a shipping email/tracking number for my Silver 64 but nothing yet for the Grey 64.

That's the same color/capacity I ordered but I had to call to get my order to go through, which ended up being an hour after pre-orders officially went live. When did you order?
 
And now the fun begins haha. I will say that the Sprint thread is kind of dead this year.

Agreed; by this time last year the page count was in the triple digits and everyone was comparing order numbers. I mean it makes sense this year with the X being an outlier.

Why’d you have to call?

Every time I pressed complete order it would say there was an error. I called and they had me turn off Find my iPhone which was not something I did in the past. All of the other questions/steps were the same as it would've been online. The Rep wouldn't tell me why I couldn't complete it online and took her time doing it for me as she tried to sell me iPads and other upgrades.

Fun times.
 
I can also confirm that neither mine nor my wife's phone numbers are in the reference data for the tracking BUT the Enterprise Number that is just below your normal order number in the confirmation email is in the reference area; its a 7 character alphanumeric type thing. I was able to find my order using that vice the tracking after I saw it was on the tracking data.

I was just going to ask. Let's see...

EDIT: Still nothing yet, but now I know what to look for.

I was able to sneak into the Sprint website at around 11:57PST with my order going through at 12:01AM PST. I was curious last night and a chat rep was able to confirm that was the time they had stamped on the order as well.

Edit: I'm sure you'll get yours on Friday. From what we are all seeing in the forums here and the articles still showing launch day delivery as of like Sunday afternoon.

I was able to sneak in earlier than that but attributed the error I was getting to "not yet" so I didn't think much of it until 3:15 AM EST. My order was time-stamped 3:44 AM (when they sent me the agreement to e-sign) and didn't get emails until 5AM.

Oh yeah, I have faith I'll get it on Friday. Just enjoying the uncertainty for now.
 
One more thing... :D

Shipping email from Sprint shows the EDD as yesterday (wrong) but the UPS site shows Friday.

I'm with you dawg; when that My Order page kept returning nothing for me a few times I was sure that I had put too much faith in the system and that everything couldn't have gone that smooth.
 
Hmm. I ordered a SG 8+ Just before 2am and I still have a pending shipment status. They did take the $10 back though. Waiting game.
 
Also ordered a 64 8+ SG, confirmation at 2:04 and have yet to receives a shipped email. Order status still shows pending shipment.
 
I received a confirmation email for my phone at 12:09 PST. My order is still pending shipment from sprint. I'm a bit worried that my order is being delayed because there was an issue with my payment. Sprint assured me that it wouldn't impact it, but nothing has changed. Anyone else with this issue?
 
I ordered mine around 1:25AM CT/11:25 PST because Sprint opened pre-orders early. My status still says pending shipment and the Enterprise #/Phone number/Order number doesn't show anything when used as reference number. I'm gonna be pissed if I was able to get in that early before most people even noticed pre-orders were live early and won't get my phone on release date. Although Sprint says shipping will begin tomorrow(9-20) officially and I have overnight delivery so I guess it could be worst. Last year, When I placed my order, I got a 2 month ship estimate. Couldn't be any worst than that.

I wonder if those who chose overnight delivery are getting theses shipped Thursday? While everyone else is shipping today/tomorrow so they have them by Friday.

Wow... this thread is much slower than I anticipated based on my experience from last year. No upgrade for me this year but I do hope things run more smoothly for everyone this time around. Enjoy your new Iphones!

I've come to believe that they often start shipping iPhones based on their colors, especially after last year's debacle. I might be wrong, but it's a supposition. When the Apple Watch was first released, I know Apple began to ship them out based on their models/colors, with a reasonable amount (besides SSB) being delivered on release date. However, this is Sprint, so their dysfunctionality is randomly annoying.
 
So anyone else get a shipping notice? It says it expects to be here tomorrow? If so wow, getting a phone before release day will be sweet.
What time did you order?

I'm optmistic that we'll receive our phones on Friday. Given the low demand and how early we all ordered, there really shouldn't be a reason as to why we wouldn't get them then.
