Verizon 4S Preorder Status Thread

The woman wasn't sure, so she had to go off.. and 'research it'. Going to email me back. As of now I have two shipping dates; one says 10/28, and the other (and her) says it looks like it's pushed back to 11/4.

This is just craziness. I can't believe a company can be so incompetent to not match the # of products received to the # of products shipped. It just seems a complete mess.

That's insane. Makes you wonder what goes on over there. Which model phone did you order again?
 
I ordered the 16GB Black 4S.

Very, very upset with VZW. Apparently there was a billing issue; the lady who made the pre-order put the company name on the credit card, not my personal one. Her mistake.

And, because of this mistake my order went into hold and others basically stole my place. I was thrown to the back of the line, with a new date of 11/4. I'm disgusted. We pay over a thousand bucks a month to VZW for this? Makes me want to move carrier. They failed to meet the shipping date of 10/28, or even contact me to say there was a problem - I only realized when *I* took the effort to call them to ask why the shipping date was mixed up.

Totally screwed up; they are running around like a headless chicken. I can see why companies like this end up going down the drain eventually.

That really sucks man, I feel for ya. If I were you, I'd just head over to an Apple store and pick one of (if there are any nearby?). Once you have it in your hands, go ahead and cancel your VZW order. They have to cancel it as long as it isn't shipped out yet.

Did you order online, in-store, or over the phone?
 
OK, now this is hilariously creepy:

on the preorder.verizonwireless.com page, my order now shows with an estimated ship date of 06/16/9194 ... :eek:

I haven't gotten a tracking # yet. They charged my card, and I didn't think it was "preorder" anymore.
But this late in the day, with no tracking # , I don't think the phone is showing up tomorrow :(

I wouldn't worry just yet ... a major shipper like VZW will definitely have a pretty late cutoff time at FedEx. If you're sure your card's been charged it's a very good sign.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat ALTHOUGH with next day Amazon Prime I've ordered things at around 7:30 PM EST (sometimes the cutoff for next day shipping) and would receive no update before going to bed.

When I woke up I'd get a shipment confirmation at about 3:30 AM and the package would arrive with UPS at around noon.

Hmm, I guess that gives me some hope. Well lets keep each other updated.
It's the home stretch baby! :D LOL
 
I gotta cancel my subscription to this thread because I have a mini heart palpitation every time my GMail goes to GMail (X+1).


I'm so excited for this phone.. my last iPhone was a 3G and it was so underpowered for all it's potential and I've been in blackberry land for the past year and a half or so and while it has worked GREAT and has amazing battery life, I would like a phone that does more things well.

just got my shipment confirmation!!!!!!!!!!!!!

beast!!!!!!!!!!!!


will arrive tomorrow!

16 GB White, ordered 10:30 AM EST 10/17

En route to Washington, DC

I love you all!

sorry that enthusiasm was totally excessive but i can finally stop checking order status compulsively
 
Nice, congrats man! I'm still waiting on mine.
Did they charge your Credit card today, along with the order status changing today too? Or was it yesterday?
 
mjn298 said:
I assume I was charged today because when I checked this morning the modify/cancel payment options were still available, and when I checked an hour or so ago they had been removed.
Click to expand...

where do you find the modify payment option? Through the pre-order link or verizon order status link?
 
amojeba said:
Hmm, when I go to that link, I don't see any option to modify payment. It also doesn't show an expected ship date either.....
Just says "Your order has been sent for processing." Along with Order # and Location #.

Maybe I'm not that far along in the process then? Sounds like I'm in limbo somewhere. But they charged my CC. This is so confusing?

Dude sorry I must have been unclear.. I HAD the option to modify/cancel payment until earlier today a few hrs before I received the tracking info e-mail.


Hope that clarifies something.

No, I get what you mean. I don't think I ever did have that option though.
Unless you had the option the entire time since you placed the order?

I'm frustrated....I just want the phone already. Why would they charge me today but not ship it out?

I dunno.. I wish I could provide some better advice. I wasn't aware of the preorder status check until relatively recently.


I say just knock back some Nyquil and fall asleep and see where you stand in the morning.

Probably the best advice I've heard all day :D Well let us know once yours arrives
 
Yeah, my status page never had the option to change the billing, either.

I've given up trying to second-guess them. That Nyquil idea is sounding better and better ...
