T-Mobile.com preorder thread

It's all random, guys. I do not believe it mattered if you got UPS Expedited or Ground, JUMP! or non-JUMP! The only constant I've seen throughout this thread is what size, capacity, and color people bought. The base and 64GB models are the most common and soonest to deplete supply. The gold and/or 128GB sizes were the "least common" and therefore easiest to purchase.

Without a JUMP! account AND ordering at 10PM CST on Friday, I was able to (at least at the moment according to UPS) get an iPhone 6+ 128GB Gold shipping tomorrow (on the attachment, it shows today before 3pm but the likelihood of that is low). This is how it shows on the T-Mobile site for me:

BackOrder 09/18/2014 at 02:43:49 AM

It'll be 1.10lb. Nothing more or less.

Am I the only one that still sees "EIP Pending Approval" on the order page?

I ordered my phone in-store on Saturday, received the EIP and signed it that day via email. I got a confirmation email shortly after. Since then, it still says EIP pending from my order page. I called customer service yesterday in the morning and the rep told me she would re-send the EIP to sign again.

It never came, so I called CS again. This time the rep said she would check with an account specialist to look into what was happening, because she did see that they received my original EIP from Saturday even though it wasnt updating the order page. Supposedly the account specialist said it's totally normal and I should receive my shipping info on Friday when all the shipments go out.

I am a new customer and we're not off to a very good start.

When you signed your EIP, did you get another email with the signed EIP attached?

Fair enough. I think all that matters is what date you were given in your email/text. Be willing to put money that everyone who got a Friday conf will get theirs on Friday. Since people started getting those texts at 3 and mine didn't come until 9:30, I'm assuming that I'll be one of the last to get a shipping label as well.

Although mine is a 16GB Gray that got ordered midday Saturday at the retail store, and got my email saying I'd have it Friday.

I paid for overnight, but the shipping charges were removed when my card was charged. I was only charged for the taxes on my phone, they seem to even removed the charges for the sim card kits.

I paid for standard shipping. They hit my charge card for the amount that was on my receipt from last Friday (including the $6.99 shipping). But I've been told via text and e-mail that I would get the phone on Friday, and it's not showing up in UPS yet, so it has to be going overnight.

All 3 of my phones were Gold, two 16's and one 64. All 6 models, no 6+.

lol I ordered 13 hrs before you same phone, I got the text and email but no tracking number, we shall see. I think my order went from pre order back to back order because I probably didnt make the cut of items shipped out last night, and maybe will ship today. I`m in Atlanta so if they are upgrading everyone to next day KY to ATL should be rather easy.
 
Hey all I pre ordered at 3:45am on 9/12/14
I got the text message and email telling me that my phone will arrive on Friday and my account charged 3-2 days ago.

I ordered the iphone 6+ 128gb Space Grey

I cant track my order via UPA with my phone number as a reference number (i opted for overnight)

should i write it like:

xxxxxxxxxx
or
xxx-xxx-xxxx

I am goin going to the area where it asks for reference number.

Thanks all.

PS my order page still says back order, no email from the CEO
 
Well.. I guess I'm about to take delivery of a phone from an ordered that was "Cancelled".


I am laughing to keep from crying at this point, lol.

Apparently I am not understanding how to input your info properly on the ups website. Do I just put my phone # with no Spaces? Then select United States then type my zip code below it? I am doing it that way and nothing comes up.
If anyone could please help me out I wokld appreicate it.
Thank you.
 
Anyone get another updated email after receiving this one?

Sucks because I preordered mine 9/12 at 4pm using jump. My wife's iPhone 6 shipped tho. This is weird. I hope they ship my iPhone 6 + today. That would be nice

Same here, I've tried all 4 phone numbers on my account even in hopes that maybe for some reason they referenced one of my other lines. But nothing. I got the text, got the e-mail, got the charge, but nothing so far. I also have UPS My Choice and I show nothing coming to my address either (well a few Amazon orders but that's it). Fingers crossed something shows up soon.
 
In other news, I successfully ordered my Personal Cellspot (scroll down to the bottom).

The agent told me that for the next 10 days or so, they're waiving the $25 deposit. Shipping via UPS Ground is free, too.

So basically now I'll have full bars in my home, at no extra cost upfront.

I haven't gotten a tracking number by email, but I tracked it using my T-Mobile number and country/zip code. Likely, it's pending arrival at the distribution center to show exactly where it's at, so it should update later today.

All of you guys the phones CANNOT be delivered before Friday. This is a requirement from Apple and cannot be changed. For 99.9% of us dont expect them today until they are at your door, and if they do get delivered it was an error. This is an Apple request and is SOP for Pre-Orders.

This is also why all of us got shipping emails but nothing on UPS yet. They are shipping overnight, it makes more sense to ship 1000 devices overnight the day before then 500 two days before and have them hold the package.

I wouldnt risk it unless you have no other options, its asking for a disaster.[/QUOTE]

I'm not sure why my post was included in this. I was never expecting to receive mine any earlier than Friday or Monday. No sweating over here.

You'll have WiFi (honestly who doesn't already have WiFi in their homes these days?), but it won't change your LTE at all.
