OK so like many before have probably mentioned. I decided to try signing up on my choice ups. It does work. I only ever received back order on one device for jump, and pre-order on the other device.. no shipping dated and no emails on either device. I did get one text for my upgraded device not the jump one. But after signing up on my choice ups it shows I have both packages scheduled for tomorrow. Even gives me their tracking info. I think no one actually receives shipping numbers until ups takes control of pkgs. Tomorrow morning. At least in my area.
 
Lol, I wish I could log into an account to see something. Being new sucks. I've always ordered my iPhones through Apple, and the only reason I did it through T-Mo was to get the ETF refunded.

Otherwise, I'd already have a damn idea of when I was getting my phone!

I am a new customer too -- I was able to make an online account and view the order status. (Note: my order status is a very nebulous 'BackOrdered').
 
Well.. got both the text and email saying I would receive my phone on friday, tracking by reference number brings up no hits and even created a UPS My Choice account, nothing. tracking my order via tmobile.com still says backordered.

hope to wake up to some good news tomorrow!
 
Rep told me 4-6 weeks earlier, but got text and email saying iPhone 6 SG 64 and 6+ Silver 64 will arrive on Friday. Ordered at 7:30am EST via phone 9/12. Non Jump. EIP.

T-Mobile is way more good than bad even despite this chaos. Don't turn your frustration into a 2 year contract with those other guys.

For anyone that got really hosed in all this and could drive to Northern Colorado I have another 6+ 64GB Silver coming Oct 1-6 that I will sell for no markup...just phone and tax...probably ~670ish but will have to look up. Not selling it to scalpers though so I will search post history for proof.
 
Does anyone know what GB variants the store will have on the 19th? Thinking of camping in a store, as I know that the Apple Stores stock is EXTREMELY limited, and I mean INSANELY limited.

I believe that's what they want to lead you to believe. After all, news and analysts make up all the stuff and it's free marketing for Apple. The latest "Foxconn strike" and "factory workers cant keep up" is all to ramp up the hype and we're eating it.

There will be enough devices at Apple Stores, maybe not the exact combination of color, carrier, and/or capacity, but by the end of the day, I believe there will still be plenty stock.
 
had to order in store, evening of 9/12. 64gb sg 6. got the email saying it'll be here friday. standard shipping. no tracking number.

maybe cuz it seems like few ordered my configuration. i've only seen 1 other person on the pages i've viewed in this thread order the exact same phone config.

Are you putting in reference numbers from your t-mobile account?

It should get updated soon. My order didn't change to preorder until an hour ago

Apple has to keep 2 percent of the stock for defectives

I ordered the same config as you on 9/14 at 11pm and I'm getting on Friday
 
IS there anyone who got ups hit with a expected either next week or update you in 1 to 2 days. Because something is seriously wrong here. Alot of people who ordered early havent gotten the ups tag made yet. And they have to do that tomorrow for the friday texts. So i think the texts may indeed be highly inaccurate
I emailed an exec to confirm my thoughts even though earlier he said it was accurate. Because there is seemingly no order then i think its more of a system failure for the people who had to order over the phone because of the online issues. Or maybe phone store and online have diffrent stocks so the few people who were able to order online might get their orders through.
 
make a free account on the UPS my choice site. It'll have all your upcoming deliveries. You may be presented with more information
 
In my opinion. T-Mobile website isn't going to tell anyone a tracking number unless ups has picked up your pkg. Ups holds your tracking number until the pkg is scanned and associated with your device. This is why some can see delivery dates using ups site by signing up on my choice ups. After ups scans your pkg. T-Mobile then updates your account as soon as they can with your confirmation. This is why sometimes your pkg arrives before t-mobile actually changes status updates.. make sense to everyone?

uh the sensationalism of certain news and media outlets may be meant to catch the eye of potential readers but foxconn workers strike for their deplorable treatment, not for hype ...
 
I put the main phone number, phone number being upgraded and my order number from t mobile

Make sure your address and all personal info is entered in for where your pkg is coming to.. I can't remember the exact page but it shows a huge calendar with days of the month it actually shows your orders on this calendar

So if you don't have an id you won't get it shipped tomorrow
That text message has seriously gotten me out of sorts:/
