How are you guys using the track by reference?

I get the OrderLocation_OrderNumber

but what do you put in for order location?
 
Finally got my shipping notification! UPS 2nd Day air, location: Madison, WI..

Ordered about 2:05AM CST..

32gb Black
 
An update. I was one of the many who had the processing of their order delayed/held due to AMEX flagging the charge as a possible fraud. Because of the delay, the Verizon website status check page put me in the "processing, payment not taken yet" category and bumped my ship by date to 10/21. An email from Verizon internet order customer service told me not to worry, everything was on track for shipment 10/13, and that to ignore the status check page because it was in error.

A reference number search on FedEx reveals the package was prepared for shipment this morning and picked up by FedEx in Memphis about 12:30pm today. Delivery in Atlanta by 7pm Friday. Two 32GB black, ordered from Verizon website about 6:30am Eastern on 10/7. And the Verizon website is still showing "processing" and 10/21 ship by date, with no email notification about shipment or anything.

Judging from my experience and the experience of others on here, it is clear that the Verizon website is likely inaccurate and those of you still stuck on processing, etc., are in fact not stuck and your phone(s) are in the shipping process.
 
Ordered 64GB white at 3:15AM EDT Friday. Just received shipping notice. On its way from Memphis. Yeah, baby! :D
 
RE: Verizon 4S Preorder Status

Just to chime in:
Verizon allowed business preorders for the 4S at 7AM on the 7th, not 3AM like you lucky consumers.

Preorder completed by 7:03AM on the 7th.
Email address listed for business was wrong, never received conformation email, do have order number though.
Been checking incessantly for several days.

Original ship by date was listed as 14th, now listed as the 21st, some people said that it jumped back to the 14th for them, but as of right now, it still says the 21st when I check the status through the Verizon Wireless business hub orders page.

Checked my balance earlier today and they did charge me 749.49 for the 32GB White 4S.
That means it's shipped, right?
Still no shipping information on orders page, just says "Status: Completed" "Ship by date 10/21/11"


EDIT: ADD; When I ordered my iPad 2 through Verizon, they never actually sent out a notifcation that it was shipping, never gave me a tracking number, it just showed up at my door on the day it was actually listed to ship.

Like many others, I received a shipping confirmation email today (shipped via UPS to San Francisco, 32GB Black).

On the UPS tracking page, it noted that my phone will be shipped via Next Day Air Saver - does that mean Verizon will ship today for early delivery tomorrow?
 
Just got notification of shipment and tracking number via UPS 2nd Day Air for delivery on the 14th.

Mine is a 64gb White I-Phone 4S ----- Northwest Chicagoland area.

Hopefully, it is delivered later in the day..........:eek:

I got the same thing. I'm in So Cal
 
A big concern of mine is the fact that the money hasn't been taken from my account yet. What's going on?
 
I just got my email confirmation from Verizon that my phone has shipped!

Now I have two tracking numbers!? One that I found using my Reference Number and One Verizon gave me. Both are different but show UPS next day air with the delivery city the same.

I'm in completely the same situation. I feel like most of us whose phones are coming from FedEx are in this same boat.
