T-Mobile.com preorder thread

What I was told is unless you expedited your shipping it can take another 10-12 days after you are told it has shipped for it to actually arrive. Pathetic really but that's how it goes I guess. Note to self my next upgrade will be through the Apple store directly that's for sure. This is a joke.

If you look at the AT&T and Verizon pre-order threads it's just as bad. I called T-Mobile the other day stating on Apple's website I can get the 6+ SG 128GB in 7 days, meanwhile my order keeps on getting pushed back. Lady on the phone said Apple is not supplying the carriers with many phones.

Alternatively, you could just buy the thing outright with no subsidized pricing.

It seems to totally depend on which model you want. I'm only looking for a 16g so they are a little easier (relatively speaking) to come by. No update since 12/5 but that update said my phone will ship on or before 12/9 so fingers crossed.

Mine was ordered late October and it finally gets here today!

6+ 64gb Gold

 

[Tnnisace]

Phone has shipped! Can't wait!

Awesome news for me!!!!!!! My iPhone 6 Plus Space Gray 64GB arrived a day early. Ordered on 10/21 and received it on 12/8. Love it! I'm glad this ordeal is finally over.

Worried my status hasn't updated since 12/5 so hopefully it ships tomorrow? Anyone notice a change such as your card getting charge before status update?

Well just updated instead of the 10 - 17 it's now the 16 - 23rd. Lovely! It will probably keep pushing until February.

My iPhone 6+ 128 GB Space Grey ordered on 10/18/2014 has now been pushed back:

12/29/2014 and 01/12/2015

I emailed Mr. Legere two weeks ago not really expecting a response. I sent another email because of this.

I know it isn't T-Mobile's fault, but now my order went from 4-6 weeks to 10-12 weeks and it won't be here before Christmas .

Anyone else get lucky?

This is for anyone who received their 6 Plus...


Does it lay completely flat when face down? Mine has a slight arch in the middle and came out of the box this way. I'm just curious if this is normal or if its a defect in my phone.

Mine is perfectly flat face down...I think I would be contacting T-Mobile ASAP and demanding another phone....

I'd take it to the Apple Store.. You'd get a quicker replacement than T-Mobile.

True...I forgot you could do that

Well my dates are now a week instead of two weeks : 15th to 20th. How long does normal shipping to Oklahoma take?

 

[xNerdHerdx]

My phone has been "departed from Indiana" almost two days ago, anyone else with ground shipping get this?

Everyone has gone through this headache so we all feel your pain.. Some worse than others.

I'd check with the Apple Store to see if they can do the jump in store so you don't have to pay in full. Apple gets stock before anyone else then distributes to others after they fulfill their own supplies.

I'm in the exact same boat as you....order date, phone, and ETA dates. At this rate might as well just cancel and get the 6S+ !!

In the end it's not T-Mobile's fault, they can only disperse what Apple gives them. If you look at the AT&T and Verizon pre-order threads they're waiting just as long.

I know, I know, it isn't T-Mobile's fault. At this point I might go through Apple.com because the exact same model and color I want is available in 7-10 days. The only reason I wanted T-Mobile was the EIP and its 0% interest. I don't want to apply for a BarClay (is that what it's called?) either.

First world problems.

Trust me, I've been checking stock daily.

ok my shipping status is yet to change after departuring from indiana on the 9th... what the heck UPS

 

[whoami4]

This has been the worst phone ordering experience ever. Ordered 10/7. Shipped 12/5 to CA. Tracking is showing it's at the local hub less than an hour away. Was supposed to be delivered yesterday but is now showing a delay due to high package volume. Worst experience ever.

You know it's ups fault and not T-Mobile or apple. Contact ups and see if they will allow you to pick it up if you can't wait. It sucks but people have waited longer and some haven't gotten a phone yet.

No, I understand that. Just a horrible experience followed by another. It's okay, I'll wait. I've already waited 2 months.
