for UPS, just updated
 
Verizon has put in a special request to FedEx / UPS to not allow a hold to be placed. The first delivery attempt is required. This was done on purpose so you can't pickup your package Saturday.

The FedEx rep directly told me they got a memo that the first delivery attempt must be attempted per Verizon's instructions and he can't override it.

Mine says 5:02 PM in transit for NYC...these times seem coordinated somehow. Maybe they are just transporting in bulk and updating the tracking information in bulk?

Is anyone else having their phone shipped via FedEx? I got my shipment confirmation email @ 6:48am this morning with tracking number and when I first looked at it, it said that the shipment had been initiated meaning that the shipment information had been sent to FedEx by Verizon Wireless. I've been checking throughout the day and the status as been the same. It is now 6:15pm EST and my tracking page still says shipment initiated. Anyone else have this?
 
Well, this is strange.

I live in NYC, and my package shipped by UPS from West Chester, PA

Earlier today I was showing the same two entries that many were -- Origin scan at 7:28 PM last night in West Chester, and departure scan at 11:30 AM today from West Chester.

I just checked again, and a third entry has been added to my tracking info, but it is not good news. It is below the other entries, for starters. This is what I have now:

Shipped/Billed On: 02/04/2011
Type: Package
Weight: 1.00 lb

Shipment Progress
Location Date Local Time ActivityWhat's This?
West Chester, PA, United States 02/04/2011 11:30 A.M. Departure Scan
West Chester, PA, United States 02/03/2011 7:28 P.M. Origin Scan
United States 02/04/2011 5:56 P.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS

I think the "shipped/billed" has also changed to 2/4 from 2/3, but I'll admit that I wasn't paying much attention to that line earlier.

WTF? Did this happen to anyone else?

Yeah, I think it did for everyone from West Chester, still no delivery date though lol...but now that it says shipped on the 4th, its more obvious its not coming today.
 
yep i live in ny as well and JUST got my tracking info! monday for me as well!

Mine has also finally updated at least theres more info now and the shipped by has changed to UPS Next Day Saver. To bad Sat delivery wasnt an option Oh well mondays not that bad makes me want monday to come faster.

I think you are the only one.
 
So, just got my email shipment confirmation. At the same time the fedex page updated to "picked up." So those who haven't gotten an email yet I am thinking means their phone has not been picked up by fedex yet.

If anyone is curious, I ordered just before 2am CT time and got my confirmation email a few minutes later. OH well. Back to the couch!
 
... all that is great except my tracking said on truck for delivery in Edison NJ. Then it updated until Monday but they indicated next day saver which was guaranteed by end of the day.... sounds like a breech of contract....
 
Someone on the Verizon facebook page claims to have received his, which I call BS. There's also posts claiming that it can't be activated until Thursday, which I also call BS.
 
Get this: I called UPS and the guy said they are doing what they can to get it out but aren't making a commitment yet. Then he proceeded to ask if the shipment was medicine or an organ transplant because the package was ordered to be kept in "controlled climate and special conditions." I was like, no...it's an iPhone...

He did say to call Verizon, tell them you're leaving the country tomorrow evening and you NEED to pick it up or else it will get sent back to them.
 
UPDATE:

ADDED TO MY UPS:

Next day saver does not account for Sat delivery just next buissness day. So its not breach of contract , the site showing on truck for delivery now that is weird. I wonder if they had it on the truck and then removed it.

Food for thought if we cant activate the phone today maybe VZW has asked the shipments to be held up.

Nope...I ordered at 3:11AM on Apple's website (32GB, no accessories), and my status is still "Prepared for Shipment". I have lost all faith in humanity at the present moment...

Now that it says Monday - On with Verizon CSR, trying to get them to place it for pickup. Very nice girl (luck of the draw)

I hear ya. Mine on verizon's website has said "shipped" since yesterday morning, yet I never received an email and when I finally got through with a reference number about an hour ago, I found out it still hasn't shipped. -still- hasn't. bahhhhhh.
 
i fully blame UPS for all this, these retards had an origin scan at 430pm yesterday, your telling me it took you 19 hours to finally depart what a freaking joke
