Put it simply, I will never trust a phone carrier on iPhone day again.
iPhone day 2020, I had my carrier (T-Mobile/Sprint) open and Apple open and whichever one I got though on first I was gonna order from. For 2020 it was Apple, so I just paid out of pocket for my iPhone 12 Pro Max Gold 512GB. Arrived at my door on launch day. Nice! Life goes on, I’m happy.
Fast forward to iPhone day 2021. Same thing as last year. T-Mobile/Sprint open and Apple open and whichever I got though on first I was gonna order from.
This time I get through on both. Same “ship dates” But I figured, Hey if I order through my carrier I can pay monthly without having to get yet another credit card and I don’t have to have $1,700 disappear from my checking. Sounds like a win. WRONG!
Fast forward to my ship date I call sprint to ask why I haven’t gotten my shipping information nor has my order information been updated. They said, “oh that’s weird, they probably just over looked your order and it’ll still come on Sep 24th.” Launch day comes around, no order update no shipping update. They say “We have to wait until the full day goes by before we can look into it.” Mind you, I have the UPS App so I know if I’m getting a package or not regardless. So I know I’m in the right at this point, ain’t no iPhone coming for daddy today. 🙃
Fast forward to September 25th they tell me that my order is “stuck” and I’ve been pushed back to the following delivery window of Oct 6 - Oct 13th….I’m mad at this point to say the least but I’m like ok. I’ll wait, it’s too late to go to Apple now so I guess I’ll just wait. Nothing I can do.
Fast forward to October 14th….. no order update no shipping update. They say “We have to wait until the full day goes by before we can look into it.” AGAIN, Mind you, I. have. THE UPS APP. Sooooo again ain’t no iPhone coming for daddy today. 🙃
Fast forward to today. Oct 15th…. They call me this morning and tell me. “I had my supervisor look into your order and it appears to be stuck, she believes your order has been pushed back to next shipment window of October 29th - November 15.”
I’m. DONE. This is the LAST TIME I WILL EVER ORDER AN IPHONE FROM A CELL PHONE CARRIER AGAIN!
Let this be a warning to anyone that thinks about making the mistake I did this year.
