I went to the local Apple store, told them I wanted a new battery for my iPhone 6. They ordered it for me; called me when it came in; I went in and dropped off the phone, wandered the mall for an hour and it was done when I got back. It did take about a week longer than they thought it would for the battery to come in to the store, probably because they had a lot of demand at the time (early February). I'm sorry your experience is not good.
