Here's my update. I ordered my phones on 10/31, UPS was to have them delivered 11/4. I stalked the packaged the whole way through. I called at 7:30pm because no one from UPS showed up. I was informed by a rep that he's still on the route and I would be guranteed my delivery. I waited and waited. I refreshed my browser to see this comment:
security check by gov't agency bla bla blah. I called UPS ASAP to ask what is going on. As I refreshed the browser once again I now saw:
Receiver refused duplicate packages/Return to sender. I know now what it's like to feel possessed. I have been riding UPS #^$^ like crazy.
Sprint allowed me to go to a store to get the handsets, but guess what all of the stores are sold out. So I had to place an order and now it's on backorder.
I think I'm becoming obsessed because I have been calling excessively, so the latest answer is 3-5 days for the backorders.
