Wirefly Order Shipments Pushback 2-3 weeks..FYI
- Thread starter bignoze
- Start date
Damn, I don't know what do to? I'm patient but not that patient to wait an additional 2-3 weeks. Is BB still doing the buyback on the OG EVO for $50? Do you have to trade it in now or could you wait until you actually receive the new LTE?
Just walk into a Sprint Store on the 18th or call one now and reserve one. I ordered mine through Sprint at 8:00am release day. The hassles and problems posed by other vendors have just never seemed worth it to me for a new release. But to others it works just fine.

There is nothing wrong. Just dont complain when that cost saving measure results in your "pre-order" arriving after everyone else's. Its just humorous that everyone ran to these sites offering the phone for so much less and stuck their tongues out at those who went the direct route thru Sprint. That statement was more at the posts I read making fun of those who decided to pay more through Sprint.
I think most of the ppl who are complaining are the ones who canceling their orders. for those of us who rather have the $80 savings, don't mind the wait. some ppl who have to have their new phones right away, and willing to pay premium for it. Some don't and don't mind the wait. nothing wrong with either way.

They didn't even offer me a bluetooth or a pouch/case. All they offered was expedited shipping whenever the phone is available. I paid $149.99, which is still $50 bucks less than Sprint, but grrs to the delay. My original Evo suffered a screen shatter last week. Not sure how much longer I can stand looking at the spiderweb cracks. :-\

I cancelled my pre-order. By the time I'd actually get the phone, the GSIII will basically be right around the corner, so I figure I'll wait a little and evaluate both options. It's not like I'm dying for an upgrade at this point. The iPhone 4S isn't exactly a crappy device. I really don't want to pay the ETF either (my AT&t contract isn't up until October). Hell, by that point the new iPhone will be out (as will many other awesome Android devices for sure) and I'll have an even bigger pool of devices to choose from.
I asked Wirefly on Facebook about orders that were placed in the first day and I got this reply:
Here's hoping we will get it either next week or the week after.

i hope everyone knows that sprint still has their buyback program. I have an extra Verizon iPhone 4S 64 GB, sprint will give me $290 for it, $90 for my evo 3d and $70 for my evo 4g. goto www.sprintbuyback.com and check it out. you can also walk into a store and exchange the devices and they will apply tyhe credit to the cost of the phone. and they take phones from other carriers too. so im just gonna wait and pay nothing for my phone.
Normally I wouldn't mind waiting, but I'm going out of town on the 28th of this month, and I need to have the phone before I leave. I cancelled my pre-order with Wirefly and ordered directly from Sprint. I'm not losing out on much money because Sprint has free activation and I got $25 back through Ebates, so that's a savings of $61.
What? I am selling my Sprint iPhone to a friend who has Sprint. Selling it for $300, which is what Sprint would pay for it.
so it's all good.How does the buyback work, anyway? I have a 64 GB iPhone 4S , so I'd get $290 for it. Does Sprint apply it as a credit, or do you get an actual $290 for it? I forgot all about the buyback. In some form or another I could probably offset the ETF using that.
According to a chat session I just had on wirefly, there is no delay to my order and it should be in stock on the 18th. I really pressed as you will see below. Either there is no problem, or this guy is full of .
a bit into the conversation:
Manoj : I see that this order is placed for one line with "HTC EVO 4G LTE" phone model which is a pre-order and will be launched on 05/18/2012.
Manoj : So, as soon as the phone will be launched, we will process the order further.
Pace: when will my order ship? Is it delayed or not?
Pace: Friends that placed their order for this phone with wirefly were told there would be a 2-3 week delay in shipment. I want to know if this is true for my order.
Manoj : unfortunately, I can not assure you about it, since the phone has not been launched yet.
Manoj : So, if you wish you can check your order status on 05/18/2012, once the phone will be launched.
Pace: can you tell me why others are being told what I just typed?
Manoj : do not worry about it, since the stock date of the package is 05/18/2012.
Pace: OK, but again, other people that bought from wirefly have been told in a chat session like this that their order was going to be delayed 2-3 weeks. Why is that?
Pace: I need to ensure you ship by the 18th at the latest or I need to cancel my order and go elsewhere. I will be saving this chat.
Manoj : the estimated stock date is 05/18/2012 and unfortunately, we do not have any information about the delay, so if you wish you can check your order status on that date.
Pace: thanks

I believe it's credit. I have only done it as credit with only being with Sprint.
You sound like a pathetic and lame person. Youre getting a price break. Deal with it or cancel. Stop all the whining on here.
how are you getting free activation from sprint?

They're offering free activation "for a limited time" from the sprint site.

Sprint has free activation for new lines only: "For a limited time, we're waiving the $36 activation fee - only for customers who order a new line of service online."
I'm not sure how you got whining out of my post. You should take the time to actually read and attempt to understand what is being said before making idiotic comments. Your brain may struggle, but try, you can do it:-\
Yeah I decided to go ahead and cancel my order after a phone call to wirefly confirmed the 2-3 week delay. I went with Best Buy they assured me that they would have all the preorders on the 18th. They told me I could use the $50 giftcard towards the purchase of the phone. The thing is I paid $45 to Sprint so they could move up my upgrade a month and a half. So it would be defeating the purpose, otherwise I'd just wait it out
