It always seems like a tiny portion of people get shipping notices shortly after ordering. I wonder what scenario has to take place to get a shipment notification email so soon. Obviously, ordering as soon as the preorders start is important. I finished my order at 2:57am EST (site let me in early for some reason). I would assume I would be relative high up on the list. No email yet.




Worked fine for me.

I ordered my 64 gig space gray 6 from verizon around 630 am eastern time. It shipped out a few hours ago.
 
This is how people know you have no life you get up in the middle of the night to order a ****ing phone then you spend hours refreshing pages and cursing and then you tell the world about it.

Next stage delivery tracking. Jesus Christ...
You could have done so much more with your time then comment about it Shem
 
Ya it will require a signature, but you can "presign". Once it ships, go to your order and look for where it has a link to presign. You print out a form, hang it on your front door by 8am and they will leave the phone where you specify. Of course I think this probably takes liability off of them and on to you if it has disappeared from your doorstep by the time you get home.

Ok thanks

I could have easily said the same about those sports freaks of having to watch 10 games at once and keep track of every score or fight over which team is better. I also know that for the next six months I'll be hear nothing but college football at work. I also have friends that would get up at 3-4 a.m. to watch european sports then drag themselves to work at 8.

People enjoy different things, there is no need for name calling. I have always listened to my colleagues when they talk about football despite the fact that I don't care about it at all.

It's not football.
 
My verizon pre order shipped this morning and says delivery on the 18th by 3 pm. Heres to hoping :)

I wouldn't get your hopes up. In previous years we've seen similar situations. Typically they'll end up changing the delivery date the day before or the day of to reflect a Friday delivery.

With that said, you never know...

I actually just woke up in the morning like I normally do, remembered that I could preorder the phone, and did. Whoops, did I just deflate your big bag of hot air?

Or...You sit on forums talking about the people who do this.

Yup. This is the "culture" of vapid materialism that our beloved Apple so cunningly cultivates.

Nothing wrong with people being excited about a new product. Harmless.
Personally, i find it more pathetic to see people wasting their time coming into this thread to tell those people that they have no lives. :p

Also got notification from Verizon for delivery on the 18th by 3.

Noticed the shipping was "Standard Overnight"

Shows the phone was already picked up and in process.

If it's picked up, and "overnight" you'd think they are holding off delivery, Overnight would indicate Monday/Tuesday delivery.

If they are holding off delivery, why would they estimate Thursday and not Friday? Oh well. It will get here when it gets here I guess. I better print out one of those pre sign slips though, I have appointments on the 18th and would hate to miss it!:eek:

Side Note: I hope the 4.7" looks/feels relatively larger than the 5S. I was in Verizon yesterday and after having a Galaxy S4 for 1.5 years, I looked at the 5S and cringed at how small it looked and felt. I've heard a couple of media reports say "It's not all that much larger than the 5S" I hope it's large enough to see a clear difference, my eyes just can't go back to a small screen. Everything looked so crammed together! I know, it might work fine for some, but for me, as much as I hated to, I walked away from the iPhone when my 4 died vowing to come back when the screens got bigger. I think the 5.5 is too big for me, so I'm praying the 4.7 will be big enough.
