Verizon 4S Preorder Status Thread

fuxl said:
WOW, I ordered mine on Nov. 1st, and it says it ships on Nov. 18th.
I'm in Virginia too.
Guess that could mean I'll get an email tomorrow ;)
Where in Virginia did you order?

They conveyed to me at the store that they had a shipment that would go out on the 11th and the 18th. The color and GB size determined when they would be sent. I ordered in Roanoke.

Did you order in store? If so, how do you check your order status?

Like an hour after I ordered in the store I got an email saying that there was a problem with my credit approval and to call a number.
Turned out it was just a formal problem.
But in that email it mentioned an Order Reference Number.
With that number and my last name I can check the status here:
verizonwireless.com/orderstatus

says 11/18 for me, even though the lady promised me that little incident would cause any delay. Well, I guess it did.

So which one did you get?
She told me 16 and 32 would ship by 11/11 and the 64 by 11/18.
So I went with the 32. and now it's still 11/18.

they told you it would ship by 11/11 and really it shipped today?
I guess there is hope for me then!

Oh, I ordered in Staunton By the way.

Oh, neither my mom or I (she's the account holder) got an email. Guess I'll have to try to find my receipt. Thanks for the tip though.

Well, they told me I wouldn't get an email until it ships.
I just got it because of this credit card issue.

Yes, I received the tracking number at 3:00am this morning and it shows that I will have it by 3:00pm tomorrow....32GB White.
 
I ordered mine from a Verizon authorized reseller today and I received a November 11th ship date. I'm located in upstate New York, for whatever that's worth.

Sweet, there is some hope for me then...
Or you just got lucky!

BTW: do you have to sign for the package?

16 GB?
Did you actually receive an email, or did they tell you?

How many digits is your number?
Mine is 16 digits.
Click to expand...

I just tried both the Pre-ship number (which is 16 digits), and the Appl. ID Number (which is 9 digits), and I get an error for both of them. How long is your Location Code? Mine is 5 digits, but I'm not sure if I'm using the right code.

My location code is 7 digits, but that's not what I'm using.

What do you mean that's not what you're using?

I'm using my order reference number.
But I only got it because for some reason there was a problem with my credit approval.
Otherwise you don't get an email until the phone ships.
That's what I was told in the store.
 
Alright, can somebody explain this to me.

When I log in to this oder tracking site:
verizonwireless.com/orderstatus
Switching to VerizonWireless Store.
Using my Ace Order Number, Location Code and Last Name, I get a site that shows my order number and a field for the tracking number that is still blank.

Does that say anything about when my phone is likely to ship?

All that it means is that your phone hasn't shipped yet. There won't be any communication from Verizon, or any change in the order status form, until the day that your phone is to be shipped.

I was just wondering, since some people said they seen the change from preorder number to order number, the day before it actually shipped.
 
Ordered black 16gb from Verizon website on 10/25 and it arrived today (11/3) at 11 am via FedEx overnight. When I ordered, it said ship by 11/4.
 
So it seems like the split is Tuesday.
If you order Monday you get it a week earlier versus Tuesday.
Wish I would have known that...
 
My mom got a call today saying that our order had a problem. So we went in and they said that they didn't know what the problem was but we had to place the order again. Oh well, they still said that I should be getting the phone Friday, which makes no sense since that's when it's shipping...

They are just playing save with the shipping times.
Mine wasn't supposed to ship until 11/11, but I got it yesterday!
 
Ordered 10/27 in Staunton, Va Verizon store with no status update on the website or email yet, 32 GB black.

EDIT: Got the tracking email 30 minutes after I posted this. XD
