Fedex won't change it for you, they have to hear it from verizon.

Thinking about getting up early tomorrow morning and going to wait in line at a small Verizon store near me. I don't think a lot of people will be going there but who know?! I'm gonna scope it out tonight. This thread has got me so excited and I can't see myself waiting until the 5th for mine, especially since I'm stuck with a "dumb" phone until I get the iphone 5.
Lol true but highly unlikely. I'm sure this thread would have been buzzing about how they have there phones before any of us. I take silence as failure haha
fyi to everyone that doesnt have tracking info yet i found that if i check my status at http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/orderstatus/OrderStatusForm and use the over the phone tab then it gives me a tracking number... the other links that people have been showing still have nothing yet for me but this way actually gives me a tracking number
"We are experiencing technical difficulties, please check back later" is what I just got lol. how lovely...
just said i heard they are giving out free iphone 5 cases for pro members
yeah they rang it up, then scanned my pro card, and it took 9.99 off.

Awesome. Thanks
verizon told me if they change the address it can push the delivery back to monday. the other said its not possible at all to change on the iphone. maybe the csrs were wrong idk
It looks similar to this one, but not as high quality: http://www.case-mate.com/iPhone-5-Cases/Black-iPhone-5-Barely-There-Cases-2272_7131-opt.aspx
which is what I ordered. I've used a similar case for my 4S and 4 without problems - I prefer not having my iPhone in a gigantic otter condom.
Otterbox is huge and stupid. I was just saying how can vzw have it, when otterbox still says preorder.
I'm in the same situation.
Except the Verizon rep I talked to on Saturday told me she did add it I just called FedEx and, lo and behold, incomplete apt number. I'm hoping that if I print out a copy of my shipping confirmation and post it on the door or something (or maybe I can catch the FedEx guy haha) they'll give me my package My other options would be to pick it up from the hub tomorrow night, or hold out hope that FedEx will deliver it to the leasing office.worthless its a silcon case? feels exactly the same as my griffin one on my iphone 4s. its nothing ridiculous like an otter box.

not a problem
That is what I am hoping, I also saw that shipment info was just sent to fedex around 12:45pm EST according to the fedex tracking page, which is alittle after the time I talked to verizon internet sales support to have the delivery address changed.
I'm in the same situation.
wrong call fedex, they left the apt off my roommates and he called. Fedex can put a note in the system for the driver to see. The rep even said call the hub when they get it and they can put a new label on it if i dont trust him to read the notes.
Why didn't I think of that? Thank you! I'll give the local hub a call later. Shame on Verizon for chopping apartment numbers willy nilly
I dont hold out much hope anymore for getting mine tomorrow... every date I got says 9/26 even though my order confirmation came through at 11:06AM EST, I haven't seen any CC activity and no tracking of any kind.
Same thing with me. I called Verizon and they said they are "escalating this to shipping" but I don't know what that means. If I don't hear anything by close of business i'm canceling my order and going to my nearest Apple Store to wait in line by around 8PM.
Ordering through Verizon has been an absolute nightmare.
Hate having to say this... but call back until you get a rep that knows more. Keep in mind, when you make a change like this, it can delay your order. You may not receive it until next week.
I had a similar problem, because Verizon added "ATTN: [name]" to my shipping address but completely screwed up the name. I work in a building that has a mail office that will reject packages if names don't match an employee, so I had to go through similar steps. But a late iPhone is better than a rejected iPhone.
Anyway, I also have experience with FedEx trouble-tickets. From the reps point of view, the only "option" they have on the screen is "change address". And if you only change the recipient's name or just add an apartment number but leave the street address the same the change gets rejected.
To get around this, explain that you'd like to add a company name. Add a name like "VZW Destroyers, Inc." and have them also add the apartment number while they make this change. That should allow the change to go through to FedEx.
I have confirmed order completion at 2:18AM Friday morning. 18 minutes after the order site went live.
No. Better than nothing. I'm going to get one to hold me over until the LifeProof case comes out.
you cant call the hug directly (at least i couldnt find the numbers/they wouldnt give him the austin one) the 800 go fedex # can transfer you.
