How long to expect new iPhone?

I'm getting a Gold 64GB iPhone 6 through T-Mobile. Ordered it today (October 6th) while T-Mobile still has their promotion. Any clue when I should expect to receive it? (They said 2-8 weeks, but that doesn't really help).

Is the iPhone 6 really worth it? - 2

So I had my eyes glued to the iPhone 6. Today, I went to my phone carrier's stores and they said in order to get an iPhone 6, I need to get a platinum plan which is like $80 a month which I can't afford. My other choice is get the iPhone 5s but it's also the same thing. I also had a choice to get an iPhone 5c for $250 and get a data plan that is $45 a month. The thing though is that it's *GB but to buy a 16GB would a cost a few more bucks. So my choice right now it basically the iPhone 5c but my parents said I should just wait? They said that by Christmas time, the plans would go lower, is that true?
