Verizon iPhone 5 Preorder Status Thread

It worked for my iPhone 4s but who knows. Guess it depends on the mood of the driver...;)

I do it all the time and have not had an issue. I asked a couple of my drivers though and they said what the rules were and that it was driver discretion. I would imagine it has a higher success rate than not, but I am not trusting it. I will be here if I see it is out for delivery LOL

Generally it is 1.5 hours from the out for delivery time to my front door.
 
Sweet! Mine has shipped finally. In Memphis right now, with future delivery requested. Boo. (Cue tiny violin :p)
 
No one should get excited unless they don't get a shipping notice sometime by Thursday. Some of the late ordering on 9/14, say after 11am or so may not make the 9/21 deliver by date. Verizon will be overnighting alot of these, especially on the east coast. I'm an employee also.

Exactly. This is so common on big releases.
 
Is it possible that the driver can take the signed note and steal the phone and say that he did want the note asked him to do?
 
Quick question: both of my packages are sitting in Memphis right now with estimated delivery time. I'm in the greater Columbus, OH area. Do they send it out to Columbus tonight and then keep it at a local facility till Friday? Or do they wait till Thursday and then send them out Thursday night from Memphis? How does it work exactly?
 
I'm coming over from Sprint. I ordered the Black 64GB 15 minutes after launch. Rec'd confirmation shortly thereafter. Bank balance is ~$500 lighter for the last two days. So, I'm feeling confident. Still...no shipping notification yet.

Funny thing is, I keep refreshing the Verizon Search Order page with my reference number. I consistently get "Your order has been sent for processing.". But, I get a different Expected Ship Date. Sometimes is blank. Sometimes it says 9/21 and sometimes 9/20...lol

I'm in W779001 btw..

yes, but highly unlikely. Iphones are registered with serial numbers and such...and itd be a stupid thing to do, i mean FedEx drivers are well-paid, and given a lot of trust. He'd be throwing away his familys health insurance and his own salary for a cell phone

Nobody knows for sure. Mine typically goes from Memphis to Dallas and then will go out the following day. Since Memphis is already active I would be they leave tonight.
 
Fedex will not accept such nonsense. The purpose of a signature delivery is that it requires the driver to get a signature from a human, not some anonymous note that left by anybody.

That is not true.

If your package was shipped with the Indirect Signature Release option, you may leave a signed and dated handwritten note on the door instructing the driver to leave the package at your door.

Indirect Signature is the method used for this shipment.
 
idk why people think its only fedex doing all 2 million iphones.. and why do you think all 2 million off apples preorders are in america??

in america ups is doing them too.

To further this point, the 2 million orders were made in the first 24 hours. But, the major carriers started running out of phones and pushing back their shipping dates after only a few hours...
 
I have a date listed as Sept 19. I paid the extra $3.50 at checkout when I preordered in order to get it early. You didn't?


Kidding...just the way it is listed right now. Might turn out to be an actual delivery or just an error. I am hoping for the actual though :)

You got me. I was about to get mad because I didn't remember an option to pay and get my phone early! I prob need to take a break from this forum...
