T-Mobile.com preorder thread

So I got an email from mychoice UPS..

Got a package on the way, next day saver, it says T-Mobile LDC Upgrade.. But it weighs 3.40 lbs. Now I did order two iPhone 6+ but I'm afraid it's just the damn router. Even though I already have a tracking number for it.
 
So does anybody know what "being processed" means? Before it showed that the order status was "pre-ordered".


Does this mean it will ship soon? If not why is it saying this and not "backordered"?

Haha, I wish that were the case. Then I'd be able to find out where my damn phone is! I've only opened one line though. Just me.

LOL, They could only be doing it for 2 lines or more, for more lucrative prospects... LOL:D

I'm just soooooow frustrated! don't know where to vent this anger... no amount of credit will dissipate it.

I hate to say this, but its your router. 3.4 is the golden number for it. 1.0lbs is for the iphone. 2.0lbs in your case.

Finally got my 6+/128/gold.

Order was officially entered on 9/13 at 8:30 pm in store but with notes about how much of a hassle I went through with the website corrupting my order at initial preorder open, phone people breaking things more, and more hassle in store.

Fwiw I m a new customer.
 
I hate to say it, but I think I've been institutionalized.

I don't want this pre-order madness to end, and when I get my phone, I think I'm going to sell it on e-bay and order another one, and then I can hang out another 4-6 weeks.

If that phone arrives late October, I can sell it, and order one additional time.

And hopefully in the end, with all the profits I make, my phone will be free...

That would be the good result. Another possible result is I would regress genetically like in the movie altered states, periodically experiencing involuntary spontaneous devolution.

hmmm, what to do.....oh I'm not giving up that freakin phone, who am I kidding...

well ups my choice tells me the phone is coming tomorrow. That's as official as its going to get....can't wait.

And existing customers who don't pay the Jump extortion are living under the stairs with Harry Potter.

Don't worry, I jumped.. And... Nothing. I don't see any priority here.
I'm seeing a trend of more newbies getting theirs.

Congratulations! sincerely!,

But,
here is another example that backs up the theory; how Apple is only squirting out 'higher capacity' more lucrative models first~ Their stingy tactics angers me. Apple not making the 32gb be the starter, keeping out 1080p on iphone6... FOCKERS!

WHY DA HELL Couldn't TMO call me and say would you like this model istead? I woulda said YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in the process of returning mines, did Tmobile give you any trouble? Did you have to play $50 for the restocking fee?

I know I would of chose any color.. 16-64gb.. But I had to choose one specific color and size.. ********s
 
I apologize in advance for this being long but I just needed to vent...

So here is my story:

I woke up at 3am Friday and tried to preorder for an hour before going back to bed since the systems were down.

Friday at 7am I called up T-Mobile CS to try and order on the phone. The rep tells me that they cannot perform Jump! preorders on the phone and that I can only do that online or at a store (after reading the forums later on I find this to be a lie as others with Jump! were able to preorder on the phone).

I went to T-Mobile store #1 the as soon as they opened at 10am and they told me that they they could not do any preorders for anything except the 16gig versions and then when they found out I had Jump! they said they weren't able to take Jump! preorders and sent me away.

After having a weird feeling and not believing them, I went to T-Mobile store #2 and they reassured me that they could in fact take Jump! preorders on any of the phones but after a half hour of trying they said the systems were down and sent me home saying they would call when it was back up.

Went home and tried to preorder online every 20 minutes or so for the rest of the day until the store called again an hour before closing saying their systems was still down and to try back the next day.

I continue to try online every hour or so to no avail until I go to bed.

I wake up the next day (Sat) around 8am and finally I am able to order the iPhone 6 Plus 64gig Space Grey using Jump! online.

Wednesday the 17th I get a text and email from T-Mobile saying I will be receiving my iPhone 6 Plus on Friday September 20th (cheering ensues).

Friday comes and goes with no tracking, no credit card charged, no word, nothing (sadness ensues).

On Saturday, my order status information online changes from Pre Ordered to Backordered.

On Sunday I call T-Mobile to see whats up and when I can expect the phone and they basically say that they have no idea when I will get it and say I can receive it anywhere from this week to 8 weeks from now. They also have no idea when they will be able to give me a realistic time frame.

Today, I give up. Still no tracking number, still no charge on my credit card, still no order status update, still zero information. Everyone else I know who preordered from various other carriers at least knows the week they will be getting it even if its not until November. When people ask when mine is coming all I can say is that I'll probably (read: hopefully) get it by December.

I can understand if they took too many orders and cannot fulfill what they have. Thats fine, it happens. What I cannot understand is that they promised Jump! customers would be prioritized which was obviously a lie considering new and non Jump! customers here already receiving their phones. Whats even worse is that they cannot even give me a week which I can expect to get anything, hell, they can't even give me a month in which I should be expecting it. It is just unexceptable and has put a sour taste on what has been an otherwise pleasant experience dealing with T-Mobile this past year.

So, call me insane but I cancelled my initial preorder that I placed on 9/12. I went to the T-mo store on Sunday and made a brand new order. Was told by the rep that I'll take UP to 6 weeks. Don't mind waiting given what I had been through since the preorder debacle. Let me see if I get my phone before the ones who preordered. That would really suck if I do.

I've been considering doing something very similar. Started going through the order process online to just add a line. The system gave me the same down payment terms as before, I canceled the order when I got to the last step before finalizing the order. I'm really curious to see which would come first, but I think I'll wait another day before I test that theory.
