ill try calling fedex tonight or tomorrow and see if it can be held, lots of mixed statements here, some are able to have it held while others stating fedex needs to make at least 1 delivery attempt. I havent bought a phone since the ip6 so not sure what has changed if anything with the process

Has anyone successfully set up for Fed Ex pickup at this time?
 
my date is 12/6. 256gb space gray. Anyone think this will get moved up?

I feel like your chances of getting moved up a week or so from that are pretty good. Your chances of moving up to launch day delivery are pretty much 0% (though I won't say no chance as there is always a chance). I have 11/10 delivery and am holding out hope for launch day, but very little hope.

SG 256 GB ordered through the Verizon App on 10/27 with a delivery date set for December 6. My date hasn't budged.

Yours probably wont budge, at least not for a bit. Us with 11/10 delivery have yet to see a budge and we would be the first to see it.

Hoping for some good news today, or soon. Still no cc charge or status update regarding my 256GB Space Grey order at 3:03am EST with estimated delivery of 11/3.

Anyone still stuck in the same situation?

Yep, same here. I'm about 450mi from Memphis (where many X's seems to be) too.

why would you expect movement when many people with 11/3 dates haven't seen any. You got at least a week+ to wait before you see any change.

Because... It has not been unsual for ship dates to be bumped up in the past. If you’ve nothing of value to contribute to the inquiry then don’t contribute at all. If any with 11/3 see themselves being pushed back to further out ship dates, then I wouldn’t even ask. But as it stands right now, things are moving swiftly for the 11/3 people and all of us are eager about receiving this new piece of tech. So, once again, kindly pump your brakes.

You can take it however you want or say whatever you want man, but blue rocket was right. He didn't come off mean or insulting to me. I ordered at 2:58 ET with an 11/3 delivery, and I haven't even seen movement yet. Many others are in the same boat.

It's more likely than not that you won't see any movement for a while.

I found it very insulting to word his response as though I’m an idiot to have any hope that supply is enough to get bumped up along with others showing the same dates. 11/3 people are pretty much guaranteed their phones short of something happening to stock levels. Nobody here should be made to feel stupid for their excitement and hope that things move along for all of us.

We’re all waiting it seems like doesn’t matter what time you ordered it. I think it’s going by state you’re in. I ordered mine 2:57 AM, I’m in New Jersey, my buddy who lives in Florida who ordered an half an hour after me has shipping confirmation already.

The sad reality of the internet is that there are people out there who insult first, think second. The best thing to do with those people is just ignore them. Feeding the fire never makes things better and just end up with obnoxious arguments and people whom are insulted and no longer find the websites to be worth visiting hence losing out on a potentially wonderful new member.

See, this is the kind of response I can appreciate. Speculation without demeaning the person asking.

Duly noted. I get we’re all on edge and want our phones. Just could seriously do without snark to a perfectly reasonable question

Gotta love anonymity /shrug.

As far as your actual question...Sure it has happened, though I would expect it more on the Apple side than the carrier side. Carriers have their stock of launch day phones on-hand already. Once those are sold out the next batch comes afterwards. This is my first year ordering from Verizon instead of Apple (I got impatient this year because I was extremely tired). Next time I will probably go through Apple.

Wasn’t my intention to insult... I get you’re excited but you’re just going to have to wait. You can be rest assured that if anyone’s date gets bumped up, they’ll post it here right away.
