At 9:15pm, the UPS truck turned in a cul-de-sac in the community 3 houses away from mine. I ran out to chase him but realized it is late at night, I probably shouldn't approach a delivery driver and he was too far away. Now I'm
 
So a little after I posted this I got a notification from the UPS app:

The shipping address provided is either incorrect or incomplete.

Signature Required

Watchlist Options
Your shipment
xxxxxxxxxx


Estimated delivery
Check back tomorrow for an updated delivery date.



So I figured he must still be in the community and said let me try and hopped in my car and saw him turning to leave the community and flagged him down. He was extremely nice and pulled over after I flashed my lights at him at 9:50pm, haha. I rolled down my window and said I think you were trying to find my house so he hopped out and asked for my ID. I explained the misspelled last name and it matched close enough that he could tell they were the same so he had me sign for my package! He said it didn't bother him at all, figured I had to be searching for a package that couldn't be delivered. Both phones were inside. Who knows how long it would have been otherwise. How exhausting.
 

UPS does not disappoint. Lots of people cannot get their iPhones because of this.

So my UPS tracking finally updated. My phone is now in NJ!? Why the heck did it go there? Now saying expected delivery date for Monday. Was hoping I’d at least get it tomorrow. What. A. Mess. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Who had FedEx delivery today? Mine was supposed to come by 8:00 PM. Then tracking said possible delay. Then it arrived at 7:45 NO SIGNATURE REQUIRED! Just dropped at my front door. Not good.
Also, I used Quick Start for setup and did not need to do anything with SIM card or activation. Just put old iPhone 11 Pro next to new 13 Pro and followed prompts. Even watch settings transferred. Slick.

So I received my iPhones this afternoon. They both are all set up. But there is no instructions on how to send the olds back. Will verizon email the instructions?!?
Today in my box under the new phone were a white bubble envelope with instructions printed on the envelope and a return shipping label. It almost looked like promotional junk. My instructions were to put the phone in the white bubble envelope, place it in the same box and affix the shipping label. Only have 14 days to return.

Yeah they must of forgotten to put it in are boxes.
 
Anyone with a 13 Pro 512 GB noticing the phone gets pretty hot when you do anything on it even briefly? 🤔
13 Pro 256. Mine gets hot while doing brief tasks. Just scrolling this forum and I can feel the heat. This should be interesting.

Both my orders came (Fed-Ex /UPS)

I got to say the 120hz screen is amazing. Glad I went for it instead of the base iPhone 13.

Unfortunately the blue IPhone pro looks a bit purplish in lighting at times. Makes me regret going for it but luckily I can put a case.
Also, I am glad I reached out to VZ earlier during the week to correct the address, based on some of the comments here.
 
Ordered a 13PM 256 Sierra Blue for my daughter. Trading in her XR, which they are giving $800, craziness. So her phone payment is $16.66 for 24 months.
 
I too received no trade in envelope. Can I bring my trade ins to the store? What a crap show!
 
Well, one of the two iPhone 13s I ordered on the 17th showed up yesterday, courtesy of FEDEX. It's a silver "Pro" 128 GB unit. The other, for my wife, is a gold "Pro MAX" 128GB unit. It was supposed to show, too, but I got an email that Verizon had run out of stock, and it is now supposed to be shipped on 29 September.
The "Pro" looks pretty much the same as the iPhone 11 Pro I traded in. Maybe a bit slicker. It seems to operate a lot quicker, though. Haven't been able to give the camera a workout. I transferred data and apps from the old phone using the "proximity" method. Seems like everything except a few passwords transferred.
No 5G in my immediate area, but about 10 miles north of where I live, I saw the 5G symbol pop up briefly.
I've always used Otterbox Defender cases, so I got one for this phone. It's thinner than the previous Defenders and the two piece plastic frame inside the bumper is gone, replaced by a one piece plastic frame that you slip into the bumper after you put the phone in the bumper. Doing that is a bitch...very tight and took many tries and a full half-hour. The new case is a MagSafe model and that seems to work perfectly.

Kudos to Verizon, order went smoothly and received my 2 phones yesterday. Activated them no issues. FYI it looks like Verizon, at least in my case, is still using physical SIM's and not the E-SIM as I had initially thought due to internet advice and the sales person. They come with a Verizon 5g physical SIM. In my case the activation for the phones was reversed to which lines I wanted them on, after activating them I just swapped the physical SIMs out and sure enough the numbers swapped over no issues, no calls to Verizon required.
 
Got a message from FedEx saying that I have a FedEx 2 day package shipping from West Chester PA picked up, estimated delivery 09/28. Hopefully it’s my iPhone but no updates whatsoever from Verizon
