3rd party retailers have much more stringent aging equipment not sold policies. Anything that sits and not sold is a pure loss. Most 3rd party retailers/companies have a corporate structure where sitting inventory is a big financial metric. Think of it like this, 3rd party retailers have to pay tmobile per device. Tmobile corporate cut is right off the top. The margins on the devices are already tight as they are. The 3rd party vendors make their money on plans/accessories. So if they aren't stocking with high volume models, they lose.

Corporate stores do not have that risk, as they have to carry those models. They do have aging inventory metrics too. That's why the HTC 10 is no longer sold by T-Mobile. Terrible seller

Makes sense for sure. A lot less risk in the 128 GB models. Especially on devices that tend to be swapped out annually and biannually .

Anyone notice how the UPS app tells you there is a "message from the sender" under the tracking for your phone and when you click on the tracking, there is a banner on top from T-Mobile offering 20% off accessories.

Looking to become a new T-Mobile subscriber via this deal. I wanted to order online, but the only plan option is the T-Mobile One. How easy is it to change plans? Or would I be better of ordering over the phone or in store? I would prefer doing the order online, but want the Simple Choice plan.

i know several Authorized retailers/Corporate Locations in the central NJ area that have been told they are likely not going to have any SKUs in store for at least a couple of weeks, with the Plus models possibly even further out
