Verizon iPhone Orders Already Shipping

[iTrojan]

I must say I unequivocally hate you all who are getting your phones on Monday. No if's, and's, or's or but's! Thanks to Verizon's stupid ordering system I got no notification that my order wouldn't process until it was too late. I asked the rep WHY I was never contacted. She gave me a line about how the order system is automated so if there is a problem YOU have to contact them. Then WHY when you order do you have to give a number where you can be reached? Hmmm...

It seems the contact number is so they can keep robo-calling you to answer a stupid survey. They keep calling me now and I didn't even get to order.

I understand how you feel. Not sure what your phone issue was, but I had a pretty big issue myself. Rep fixed it, or so it seems. NO ONE has received their phones yet, so I wouldn't worry yet. You'll probably get yours on Monday or Tuesday too. I know it's hard, but don't take the notifications too seriously. It's not that great of an accurate measure of where your shipment is since there are too many unknown factors. It doesn't matter where your shipment is right now as long as you get it at the same time (or near the same time) as everyone.

Pickup

I am sure it has been asked in this massive thread .. but what are the odds of picking this up from FedEx tomorrow if it is there?

I've missed the last 12 pages.
Mine still says "picked up" in Memphis. Why hasn't it flown out yet?!

 

[chazlawyer]

things are finally progressing for my order....now I can no longer try to upgrade my phone through the website....

Now it says:

You recently bought a device for this line but have not activated it yet. Complete your order after you have activated the device or contact Customer Service at (800) 922-0204. Thank you for choosing Verizon.

Finally some progress....

Mine and my wife's are still at this status. It was last updated at 6:00 AM this morning. Been waiting patiently (or not so patiently) the entire day for just one update.

I'm thinking that they may not be updating the location as well as they might if they were just having a regular weekend. But the weather, mixed with the fact that they are dealing with the enormous influx of iPhone shipments, is most likely causing the notification system to not be updated as quickly or accurately. My guess is that they're definitely NOT in Memphis right now. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that they're already in my town at the local office.

Mine has shipped from SoCal and is en route to San Jose. Hopefully it has my mailbox number, because the order confirmation email just had the street address with no box number.

So, people. Once you get your memememephone, what's the very first app you are putting in?

Woke up this morning pretty excited... I had received my shipment confirmation email from Verizon at 6:36am EST. Just tracked it and it still only says that the FedEx shipment was 'initiated' with a delivery date of 2/7 by 3pm. Starting to wonder if I should be worried that it did not get out in time OR maybe since Fedex I am sure is swamped that they did not scan each one and will do them thru out the night. *cross fingers* for a Monday delivery.

Wow, you're quite optimistic!
I can't convince myself that. Mine also is stuck at 6am. I just want ONE update and I will so much better!

I've already got over 60 apps downloaded into my itunes.....
but probably either the cnn app or the ESPN score center will be one of my first used apps....

 

[iTrojan]

Just curious. Am I the only one who is THIS close to framing my "your order has been shipped" notification and hanging it on the wall? Gotta leave some space for "in transit" and "delivered" notification.

Oh WOW. 60?! lol You sure are ready. It would be VERY wrong to deliver your phone late now. *thumbs up*

I think i've devoted more time to this forum over the past 24 hours than I did in some of my college course (for a whole semester)....

ever since they announced the launch of the vz iphone i've been scouring the app store......i've only paid for one or two apps so far..but most of the best (or at least what i'd use) apps are free

lol I would like to say that I wish there could be an exam on this particular subject, but with so many contradicting information, we'd all probably fail anyway, lol

Mine's the same. It showed "picked up" at 6 a.m. this morning (received the shipping email last night at 9 something). I'm starting to worry that mine won't be here Monday and I will not be happy as I ordered at 2:46 Thursday morning.

Unfortunately its worse than that. My order was cancelled and I have to try again next Wednesday at 3 am. Some nonsense about it being because I ordered using my name and not the account owners name, so my order was cancelled. Even though the email I received states that my order will remain open for SEVEN days. I call the number in the email and she said the order is cancelled and to try again on Wednesday. Grrr...so not happy...but I will try to survive...lol

Yupp, same time as me.
Funny thing is I never received a shipping email. Only the instant Order Confirmation email after ordering.

I'm really discouraged about Monday...

I've had orders that were delivered before there was any tracking information available. Weird.

Mine says it will be here by 10:30AM on monday!

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. That does sound like it may be worse than mine. I had mine cancelled too because my cc set off a "fraud alert" without even contacting me first. I was SO peeved when I heard it was cancelled. And my bank rep HUNG UP on me when I said the website is no longer available for order! But luckily the Verizon was VERY nice and understanding and worked out a way to put my order back (at least it seems my order is back. I'll still be concerned til I have the phone in my hands and cc charged). She had to go through her supervisor for approval, who took my cc info and re-ordered it. Your Verizon rep couldn't help you at ALL? That REALLY sucks!! I know your pain. I couldn't sleep when this was all happening!

ughh it needs to be monday already!
