I do not understand logistics. I am 2 hours away from Memphis but my phone is shipping from NEWARK, NJ. I see people that live in the northeast and their phones are shipping from Memphis? I guess they know what they are doing just seems like they could avoid a lot of overnight flights if they shipped from the location closest to the delivery address.
While i do not get it either, I'm in NJ, a stones throw from Newark and yet Mine is coming out of Memphis. Port Newark is a huge hub for importing and exporting.
 
Anyone else via FedEx, holding in Newark, NJ? My shipment updated at 3:33AM saying 'Shipment information sent to FedEx'. In the Origin section it states Coatesville, PA as the location. Then in transit. (Arrived at FedEx Location in Newark, NJ) Attempting to track the shipment via flightaware.com, but it's throwing me off.

Just got an origination scan in Philly! (It was in Coatesville before). I can relax now and watch the maps. I like https://www.packagemapping.com/ to follow it. Anyone else have a good link or way to watch your package go?

Is the estimated delivery time usually accurate through that site or is it just a random time? Mine says 12:00pm but the FedEx site just says before 3:00. It would be nice to have an idea of the time but it seems unrealistic that a random site would know the delivery time

No idea. I have mine set to be picked up at the HUB.

From the sounds of it, with folks freaking out and what not, it sounds like this is mostly everyone's first pre-order? Lol
LOL, many pre-orders before, always the same, always (so far) has turned up day of. Our FedEx are usually mid-late morning deliveries at home, but tomorrow may be a different story as I am sure they will be extra busy.

I'm in Lincoln! Driving me crazy that's it's still sitting in Newark, They usually come through Memphis. I'm wondering if they'll go straight from Newark to Omaha or through Memphis or Indy? Too much what if for my liking if things don't start moving soon!
 
So so so frustrated reading all these phones with 10/07 ship with my 9/30 getting no love. Called verizon again to make sure everything is correct on my account and it is. She just told me SG 64gb Plus is one of the most ordered, duh. But im seeing people here with that model and my date or later ship.

Same story here. Silver 64GB Plus (9/30) and RG 64GB Plus (10/07). No change in status at all on either one. Still "We received your order and it is in process."

Seems like both these locations (Memphis and Newark) should have plenty of supply to meet the demands for that region. Why bother with having to overnight them when they can simply be put on trucks and out for delivery the next day? Guess we will never understand unless we work in logistics for these carriers.
 
God, it's so frustrating that it hasn't updated yet. I just want to see an origin scan! C'mon Verizon, I just want the peace of mind that my phone is on the way. Especially knowing that UPS doesn't deliver Saturdays. I don't want it to get here too late and they hold it until Monday.

I'm in the same boat scan the damn thing already

I'm actually in Lincoln, too! Just having it shipped to an Omaha address. Wondering if they'll pass through O'hare or Midway, Chicago.
