Any updates? The other thread is going crazy with people receiving tracking numbers.

I presume they ordered from Sprint directly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilentSummer:
I contacted them a short while ago via chat out of curiosity.

Just got the usual generic "We have no information at this time" line.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blues2009:
Nothing here yet. I'm not getting my hopes up for this week, hopefully for at least sometime next week would be ok for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] five40:
I doubt it's going to be that long, well at least I hope.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ajohnson16:
From what some of the people have posted in this thread, Wirefly reps have been hinting towards May 24. So tomorrow maybe?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] massivebasset:
Tomorrow would make sense to me.

22nd - Clears Customs

23rd - Ships from UPS to Wirefly

24th - Ships from Wirefly to customers

Still eagerly checking my order every hour though, hoping for a nice surprise.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blues2009:
Yea me too. Just not setting up myself for disappointment, cause I didn't preorder till the 17th, so other people ahead of me should get theirs first. :0)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] djboo4you:
I just called to "check my order status" and got the same "there was a delay" "its been pushed back and we don't know when they will go out" I then nicely asked if I could get upgraded to overnight shipping for free. After a short hold, they said no problem. FYI :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Drewh1991:
I first asked nicely to have upgraded shipping because I needed my phone before holiday shipping. No go. But then I asked the magic "how do I cancel my order" question and suddenly I have free overnight shipping.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sandtrapjack:
The old "Impending Doom" tactic.......NICE ONE!

Well I know the phones are shipping. I ordered 2 of them. The first I ordered from Sprint on the 7th as soon as pre-orders started. Wifes birthday gift. The second (mine obviously), I tried to save 50 bucks and ordered through Wirefly on May 9th. I have shipping information and a delivery date on my wifes phone. Will arrive tomorrow.

But no change on the Wirefly side....still in a holding pattern. Although I too was able to upgrade shipping to next day.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blkswanpres:
I would assume that Wirefly will get their shipment today or tomorrow at the latest, judging from when the Sprint users are receiving theirs, and according to Wirefly they will be shipping them back out in roughly an hour, so fingers crossed we should get ours by Friday, with upgraded overnight shipping.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] soapy:
I got charged sales tax today. I was no quoted sales tax on my original order. Anyone else have this happen?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Holyrolla:
If you're in MD or VA, then you will get taxed because that's where they are. The headquarters is in MD and the distribution center is in VA.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ajohnson16:
I still haven't even gotten charged and my receipt is showing no sales tax.

It is also showing FedEx 2-3 day shipping even though I was told yesterday it would be upgraded to overnight. Hmph.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ElMadre:
If you click on your invoice, it says the following at the top: "Your Invoice - This is your original purchase receipt. Any changes to your order will be reflected once your order has shipped."

So I wouldn't expect any of us who got upgraded shipping to see that reflected at this point.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] O.LPZ81:
According to ISN on twitter best buy is now shipping... Hopefully we will hear something about Wirefly soon....

Getting word that #BestBuy pre-orders are now shipping #EVOGATE #Sprint -- Inside.Sprint.Now (@InsideSprintNow)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] hurricanefloyd41:
Hopefully we get them before they're available in the store
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JGillis2391:
I was worried about that too and asked another person in live chat to verify for me that it was in fact upgraded. Also, I did notice up top of the receipt..

"Your Invoice - This is your original purchase receipt. Any changes to your order will be reflected once your order has shipped."
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blkswanpres:
The free activation on Sprint offers are back, any way to get these added to our orders?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ajohnson16:
Believe this specifically excludes the EVOLTE.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blkswanpres:
http://www.wirefly.com/sprint/?r=wirefly_gc&eid=spr_fa&gclid=CO3TzZqal7ACFY_J7QodYTtk4w

Its on the page the ad linked me to.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DtownJeff:
Tried that. New line of service only. You never know...you may get a different CSR.

I am going to call sprint after I receive it and ask for them to remove it because of the delay.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blkswanpres:
Thanks for the tip!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Matstarr:
Im in NY and have $30 worth of tax on my invoice
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] O.LPZ81:
The lack of shipping information from WF is driving me nuts.... Just saying....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] purock:
Not just WF. We Amazoners are in the same boat. Only one 'official' communication on 5/18. Besides that, nada.

I'm hoping either Wirefly/BB/Amazon/RS start posting some sort of information. Because they are all likely to follow suit.

Just really wish Sprint would tell us something about the national launch. Friday is a huge difference from Tuesday. Especially when you have a huge 3 day weekend in between.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] O.LPZ81:
On a side note: I was at the Ravens vs Texans playoff game earlier this year. Man that was such a good game so close so close. Can't wait for a rematch this year. Oh and good luck with Jacoby, maybe he will return the favor to the Texans this year and muff a punt.

Can't wait to get my phone and for football season to start.....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rdeets:
Still no information, at least no new positive information :

Unfortunately, even though FedEx does do Saturday delivery, Wirefly doesn't offer it. If they aren't shipping out tomorrow, we're looking at next Tuesday as the earliest possibility.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Online vendors are "supposed" to collect sales taxes in any state they have "operations" in. I know, I didn't get any taxes showing on my original receipt, I'm in Nebraska.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] purock:
Haha. Yea that was a hell of a game. I wasn't at that one, but I was at the one in the regular season. You guys are going to be tough. I was very happy when we got Leach & Pollard. Jacoby not so much.

Need my phone for game days. Watching Sunday Ticket on the big screen while at games is great (especially for a big FF player). Use to have to switch out batteries like two times, we'll see how it goes with this phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ThrowingKs:
I complained on resellerratings.com and they called me the same day. I was assured they would "talk to management" about the communication issues. It is very frustrating being out of the loop. The only way I knew of the 2-3 week delay was this thread.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Art2Fly:
2012...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rdeets:
I.S.N.:

Even if WF doesn't receive it until tomorrow, with their supposed one-hour turnaround, Friday is still a possibility for overnight deliveries.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Drewh1991:
So I figured I'd see what I could get because of the misleading advertisement and this was the only real response Dylan gave me on chat:

Dylan: Would you like to add device protection to your phone for 1 year for just $69.99? This one time fee will protect you from having to pay full price for a new phone in case your phone is stolen or damaged.

???
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DtownJeff:
He asked me if I would like to purchase any accessories to be added on to my order. (After he said no)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jvs60:
I just want to know if Wirefly is one of the third parties receiving phones tonight or tomorrow morning
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kidromulous:
Lots of info here any word from wirefly
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rdeets:
From I.S.N.'s Twitter:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JGillis2391:
Is there ANY possibility of getting this thing delivered Friday by the looks of things? Not sure if anyone has a good answer for that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilentSummer:
Man I sure hope to get a tracking number tomorrow. Would love to get it Friday for the long weekend coming up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rdeets:
IF you've been bumped up to overnight shipping, and IF WF receives their shipments tonight or tomorrow AM, and IF WF receives enough phones in their shipment to cover preorders up to your point in line... Then, yes.

Those 'IFs' are starting to add up though...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
Ok well when I ordered it, it was 50 haha
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jvs60:
Ordered on the 9th and my status is good
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] phiphiJR:
I only ordered mine Thursday evening but it was approved pretty quickly. Doesn't say anything about 2-3 weeks but does say the bit about the phone being 'extremely popular.'

Still not really something that makes me :mad: even if it is delayed some. $80 saved is $80 earned. Just means I have to stick it out with my failing Captivate and AT&T's terrrrrrible reception here, but what's two weeks when I've been dealing with it for four years?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] travisw0204:
I pre-ordered my phone through BB. However, a buddy of mine pre-ordered through Wirefly and he confirmed the 2-3 week shipping period to get the phone. He said he is gonna cancel and order through Sprint. BB isn't giving a bad deal either. I'll pay $50 for the phone once I trade in my OG EVO and the $100 in gift cards( $50 for pre-ordering and another $50 from the trade in). At the most I'm gonna pay $150( for those that are gonna keep their OG EVOs) and get the phone on release day as opposed to saving the $31 and be going through what most of you are going through with Wirefly. Plus if I have an issue with my phone, as most of us had initially with the EVO as far as screen lifting and so on, I can go to any BB and have it replaced with a new device rather than sending it back to Wirefly for a new phone or going through Sprint and possibly getting a refurbished phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaptainRandom:
My OgEvo has been rockin for 2 years,

It'll make it 2 more weeks for $80+tax,

It'll also give the SuperDevs time to workout nonHtc unlock and s-off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njspank:
With news of the WF push back. I just got off the phone with Sprint. I just pre-orderd phone for $220 with tax and the CSR gave me free activation after saying that online at sprint.com, I can get free shipping. I then said please trsf me to acct svcs. I told AS that I'm renewing with sprint and previously ordered with WF but I cxld. I sd I was told I can get a $70 b/c I'm loyal customer. She applied an $80 credit to acct and I'll see it on my bill!

I can still sell my OG to sprint or on Ebay which will further reduce the cost of the ELTE. Right now I'm at $140 for the phone. Now all I need is to see WF refund.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FattySparks:
+1. Additionally I like BB's black tie protection. They generally don't ask any questions about root. My earpiece speaker blew on my evo, took it back to them and they gave me an Evo loaner. Had it for 3 days and they had my refurbished phone. All I did was flash a stock rom. I don't even think I changed my splash screen back to stock.

Not only that, but my phone was still on 4.54, so it was much easier to root than 4.67
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LTEvo:
Yea, even thou my order says will ship on inventory. I don't mind waiting another 2-3 weeks. Shoot I thought my upgrade was in June anyway. 80$ is 80$.

Well I called wirefly for fun, and they threw in a bluetooth. It has got to be worth at least 5$ :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] oOflyeyesOo:
Oh I really I don't have to wait!!!! I ordered early on the 9th I think, and mine just says TBD, awaiting inventory. Maybe I am okay!! I also ordered from the friends and family part of the site.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] huludical:
I ordered mine the 7th. If you click on Status - "Approved Awaiting Inventory" it will tell you how the phone is extremely popular and your order may be delayed.

I chatted with a wirefly person online and he just said that the phone was extremely popular and they did not know when they would have it in inventory. Said I can check back on the 18th when the phone launches. WOW. Would not give me a definitive answer on if I would be OK since I ordered the day it became available.

This seems like bad news to me and I may cancel my order and try with Sprint. I am very disappointed with Wirefly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] caseyweed:
I canceled my Wirefly order. I was on the fence when I originally placed it on the 7th because I wanted it on launch day but I was willing to wait a few extra days to save $100. I chatted with a rep this morning and he said it would be 2-3 weeks even though I placed the order on the first day of the presale. Even the prospect of having to wait a couple extra weeks isn't worth it to me so I just placed my order through Sprint. Say what you will about wasting $100 but it's my Birthday present and I don't want to wait dammit! lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alchemist316:
canceled went to sprint I called 4 times not one wf rep couldnt tell me anything positive even if ordered on first day sprint cut inventory to them
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
I guarantee when Friday comes all orders will be filled. This phone will not be on that high of a demand. Wirefly reps dont know nothing but whats in front of his or her computer screen.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Worst case you cancel on Friday or even Saturday and go to a Sprint syire and buy OR just order from Telesales for the every day low price of $199. I don't get why folks are "disappointed" in WF. They are a 3rd party dealer, if you wanted a 100% guarantee you would have the device right away, the only way was Sprint at DOUBLE the cost. (for those of us who ordered early)

I'll admit, I love getting launch day devices but for $100 I can chance waiting a few days. If WF isn't shipping by the following Tuesday, I'll just cancel and go get the phone from Sprint/BB somewhere that will put the phone in my hand. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
This phone will be in stock at must retailers. The only sprint phone that wasn't in stock at launch was the OG Evo. And most of the hype was about the frist this and that. The EVO LTE doesn't and won't have that hype.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
I'm considering cancelling my order thru WF, too, since I also have a reservation at BB. But, I saw someone here who cancelled their order from WF, then went to sprint to preorder and was told he was not eligible for upgrade and last I heard, he hasn't been able to get WF to clear the upgrade status.

I'd like to hear if he ever got it resolved.

sent from 2yr old Evo on ICS
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alchemist316:
Still 65$ more you get it on time with sprint no delay so say a few sprint reps as opposed to wf who said that sprint did limit their inventory and not sure even if first day pre orders will be available..

Just saying at least you can be sure with sprint

I hate when companies reps know less than the avg sprint rep kind of scares me

Btw sprint starts shipping the 15th , will let us know via email if it did or did not ship :( canceled lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kidromulous:
For those who question demand for this handset you will see next week especially if you didn't order from either sprint, amazon, or best buy.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ragster:
Sprint has to clear that. I went through that with best buy. Never getting anything from them again.

Got my og from WireFly and it went smooth.

Won't buy it from Sprint because of Cali's crazy tax on cell phones. I'm happy waiting a bit if it comes down to that. $150 saved for me!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LTEvo:
I can understand if you didn't order from Sprint; but why would amazon or best buy be any better than Wirefly.

Simplexity aka Wirefly has been around longer than amazon wireless, and I am reasonably sure does much more volume than BB. Actually, I am pretty sure they are the number one in online wireless phone sales.

Using that logic, I am sure HTC and Sprint aren't going put one of their customers (wirefly), at the back of the line behind BB and Amazon. At least they will be on even ground.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] focbuster78:
Here is another if. If people start receiving their devices, and wirefly does not have a shipping number, then Wirefly will have a lot of explaining to do!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gidkid:
This was discussed a few pages back - just chatted with them, and they said that I could either move up the shipping date or get a Bluetooth headset. I have no clue when I'd use Bluetooth except while biking (maybe), so I opted for the faster shipping. Pure awesome.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rdeets:
Looks like Best Buy may be allowing preorder pickups as soon as tomorrow:

http://www.androidcentral.com/best-buy-fill-evo-4g-lte-orders-soon-may-24

Hopefully this is a good sign for WF.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sandtrapjack:
Pretty sure that if Wirefly receives their pre-order shipment Thursday, they will start shipping to their pre-order customers Thursday as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Holyrolla:
Soooooo...today's the 24th. Any guesses as to what time Wirefly may (if they were to get a shipment today) get the Evo's in? I'm guessing around 10ish.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gosox22:
I sure as heck hope they get them in today so I can see my sweet, beautiful EVO LTE tomorrow. I spoke to someone over there this morning, and they finally confirmed it would be shipping either today or tomorrow. Of course as we all know, there is a HUGE difference between today or tomorrow. Ship today, get it tomorrow. Ship tomorrow, get it Tuesday. PLEASE BE TODAY!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RyanInAj:
Well I got my next day shipping upgrade shot down over chat yesterday afternoon. The csr, "Radhe" wouldn't budge, only offering to charge me another $20 for it. I'm not gonna cry too much - I ordered it through BofA and got $50 cash back for a net total of $99.99 - but as stated above, the difference between 2-day and overnight shipping could be 4 days!

Chatted again this morning, got Subrata. I was given the shipping upgrade - after a talk with the supervisor of course. So let's see now if they can get these EVOs shipped out today!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Albaholic:
I got the same guy and didn't have any luck. He just told me he couldn't give me free overnight shipping since the delay was sprint's fault and not wirefly's. Did you have to call or did you request to chat with a supervisor?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RyanInAj:
I did live chat again. I told the csr that I've heard of people getting a courtesy shipping upgrade and asked if I could take advantage of that offer. He/she(idk if Subrata is a guy or girls name)talked to a sup for a minute and came back saying I have been upgraded. I was chatting for 15min yesterday trying to get upgraded and this morning it took about 3 minutes.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilentSummer:
Though still fairly early I must say I will be disappointed if it doesn't ship today.

I doubt they do Saturday deliveries so shipping them tomorrow will be pointless.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] O.LPZ81:
Trying to connect to a WF rep on chat and this is what I am getting:

Please wait while we find an agent to assist you...Please be sure not to refresh your browser or hit the "back" button during our session.

Thanks to customers like you, we have received an overwhelming response to our great offers. Unfortunately, customers contacting us are experiencing unusually long hold times. Please be patient and we will connect you to an agent as soon as possible.

Guess every one wants to know where their phone is .....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] litlepyro:
Its because they are all busy receiving and shipping our phone to us....or we could at least be hopeful...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] compneo:
I have three separate orders through Wirefly and I chatted on each one individually this morning. I was told by three different reps that Wirefly has no information on the shipping date and that wirefly has not received the phones nor do they know when they will. I hope the reps dont know what they are talking about and they get the phones and ship today, but I have a feeling we wont see them before next week. I was able to get all the orders upgraded to free next day shipping, though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Holyrolla:
I get the feeling like the call center is not in the same place as the distribution center. So unless there's a corporate communication that says the phones are in, they wouldn't know. And with them claiming that turnaround from receiving a shipment to shipping to customer is one hour, I doubt if that kind of thing even gets communicated.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RyanInAj:
When I chatted with a rep this morning they said the devices should be shipped later this week - according to my calender it's later this week right now.

The rep also told me, toward the end of the session, to contact them later today to get an update on my order. I didn't ask for an elaboration, but maybe that's a clue that they are expecting orders to be shipped today?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sandtrapjack:
That is correct. If you upgraded your shipping to NEXT DAY. It is actually Next BUSINESS Day. That means no Saturday, Sunday or Holiday deliveries. Monday is a holiday.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] O.LPZ81:
Nothing new samething we already know:

Amisha : Unfortunately, we don't have a solid date on when we will be receiving the phone at our distribution center

Amisha : Once we will receive the phone at our distribution center, you will be notified via an e-mail.

Amisha : As per the new update, the launch date for this device has been pushed back and we do not have a definite launch date as of right now. We will fulfill these orders as soon as we are authorized to by the service provider and they will be shipped on a First in / First out basis.

LOPEZ: I know that people that have ordered through Sprint have already received their phone today and that Best Buy is allowing customers to pick up their pre-orders tomorrow.

Amisha : I understand your concern completely and I really apologize for the delay.

LOPEZ: Wirefly ships via FedEx right? Do they deliver on Saturdays?

Amisha : Unfortunately, we do not have a definite launch date as of right now.

Amisha : Unfortunately, FedEx doesn't work on weekends for us.

Amisha : Yes, you are correct.

LOPEZ: Ok. Well its going to be a long weekend then. thanks.

Amisha : I can imagine how disappointed you are and I'm sorry for that.

Amisha : You are welcome.

Amisha : Are you interested in insuring your phone for 1 year for $69.99? This one time fee will protect you from having to pay full price for a new phone in the event your phone is stolen or damaged.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ITSDARKID:
upgrade to next day delivery

I said the same and it was upgrade to next day delivery :)

"I've heard of people getting a courtesy shipping upgrade"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gosox22:
Quite honestly, if it doesn't ship today, I'm thinking about cancelling and taking my chances with a physical Best Buy store tomorrow... It sounds crazy, but having it tomorrow versus having it Tuesday is such a huge difference.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] caspertodd:
Good luck.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gosox22:
Thank you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wytecaztle:
I also just chatted still no word on when they will ship. I imagine cutoff to receive it by Friday is around 5 or 6 tonight so if we do not get conformation by then looks like next week.
