Mine finally went live. It's in Memphis. I am not. To those that have held your packages, tee hee, you did it through app?
Got a tip for us?

Verizon.com: Preorder thread

So I called Vzw right after I pre-ordered the phone to change my shipping address. They said no problem and "changed" it. I see now by the tracking that they didn't. I won't be home to sign. Has anyone that has used my choice to have it left at a ups store been able to get it that same day. Ups is telling me that I would have to wait until Monday if I want to have it left there. I can have it left at the distribution center but it's almost an hour from work and I can walk to the ups store so that would obviously be much easier.
Not a fun things to do but, what you could do, least it's what I have had to do with previous UPS orders (they suck delivering in Boston). Just let them claim to try to deliver and they'll try again the next day. Call their main number, and usually that person will get in touch with shipping center and they'll have it held there for you after like 6pm when most of the trucks return or you can ask at that time to hold there the following day. Never had much luck getting them to hold anything instead of 'attempting to deliver' in over 15 years.
Disagree, when it is two different reps last night, two different today, and the call from the office that got the email when I emailed the CEO. That's a lot of bad apples.
I really wish there was a way to pre-sign for these, I run into this same problem every year. 
I'll go check in the app right now. I was looking around on their website and it won't let you do anything until they have the package (see my post on p42 with the screenshot)
I'll check the app now and let you know
Ok, so when you go in the app, this is what it'll look like (this is the Android app btw, so iOS may look a little different)
Again, this isn't for my iPhone - this is another package I have coming tomorrow. UPS won't allow you to do anything with your iPhone package until they have it and scan it (so I imagine this will be tomorrow afternoon/Thursday morning). Just keep checking with your tracking frequently so you can schedule a pickup/delivery window ASAP

Thanks! Ok. So the options exist in app. Mine is stating ordered processed for UPS. I'll keep checking and hope I can get it in time.
FedEx told me that Verizon will not let them hold or redirect until one unsuccessful delivery attempt is made. Everybody seems to get a different story from Verizon and FedEx, however.
I'm sure you will. My iPhone is still sitting at processed as well. They finally scanned the label this morning, but they haven't shipped it or anything yet (I wish they would deliver it early like that one person
)
Haha. There were some epic comments in that thread.I'm sure you will. My iPhone is still sitting at processed as well. They finally scanned the label this morning, but they haven't shipped it or anything yet (I wish they would deliver it early like that one person
I would take tons of vertical videos/photos and post them here!
But the pink looks nicer than I thought. I think it'll be different under different lighting conditions too. I'm still happy that I ordered one. If I hate the color, I'll throw a colored case on top of it. Problem solved.
I'd really love apple to do a black front with a pink or gold back. Now THAT would be awesome
well my package says "indirect signature" and i looked on the Fedex site and it said you could leave a signed dated note giving them instructions to leave it in a secure location or print off a door tag and do pretty much the same thing
I'm hoping that this may just be because of the "Future Delivery Request" part of it. Maybe once it starts actually moving (Thursday most likely, as scheduled delivery is Friday) the Customize Delivery button will un-gray.
