you guys have to realize that it says it SHOULD be delivered by 1030am, but if you read next to it it says by the end of the day for residential addresses so theres no guarantee you will get it before 1030am
 
Finally!

I was out for dinner and happened to check my email (on my iPod Touch) and finally got a shipping confirmation! In fact, I got 2 separate emails, one for each phone # that I ordered an iPhone for - same tracking # on both email confirmations. They will be here by 3pm on Monday! YAY!
 
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!

No. I spoke to two different people. The first time she tried to put my CC through again. Then she said it still wasn't going through. So she put me on hold to ask the authorization department and then she came back to tell me it was because I used my name on the order instead of the account owners name. She said the account owners name has to be on the order even if the account owners name isn't on the CC. You can be sure I am going to call several different times on Wednesday to be SURE my order went through AND that my CC can be charged. She just apologized and told me that I can try again at 3:01 AM on the 9th and asked if there was anything else she could help me with. Like what? Grief counseling? Help getting a prescription for Prozac? Maybe a reservation for a suite at the local looney bin?
 
Initiated

Does anyone order (Fedex) still just say "Initiated?" All I see is "Feb 4, 2011 1:26 AM: Shipment information sent to FedEx." Please tell me I am not the only one....
 
You're not alone bud. Mine still says it too and the shipment information was sent to FedEx @ 4:27am this morning.
 
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...

Yeah I'm in the same boat. Are all of yours shipping to the midwest? I'm hoping mine will be in Omaha by tomorrow.
 
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...:confused:

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.

Have to say that that really sucks. I'm sorry that happened.
 
I've got champagne chilling

who has the cigars?

I feel like we're all in the waiting room waiting for our "b:apple:bies"
(of course I was always delivering them)
but I can't wait to see all the excited posts when these babies start arriving :)
Hmmmmm...
On second thought this thread will probably die a fast death as we all start getting ours and are off playing with our new toys!
 
I FINALLY got my tracking number! Almost 48 hours after ordering and like 30 hours after they started rolling out. Bout friggin' time!


Ship date Feb 4, 2011
Estimated delivery Feb 7, 2011 by 3:00 PM

Date/Time Activity Location Details

For the first time today, and for the last hour or so, I've been getting the page unavailable on the VZW site. Can anyone share their experience of when their's came back up, as far as if it suddenly then had shipping info.

use the *611>option 4>order status>choose the number
 
Its official, not going to class at 2 if it hasnt arrived yet. No way I can wait another day
 
Yupp, same time as me.

I'm the same way, no shipping email yet even though I ordered just before 3AM. But there are still people within the last hour that have received their tracking info and its still on schedule for Monday. Don't loose hope.

EDIT: My shipment confirmation came while I was posting this! WooHoo!

I got that message for past 14 hours- JUST got my shipping confirmation email & my phone is in transit for Monday delivery
 
The dumb order status thing on Verizon's website has not worked for me since about 2pm yesterday. Suddenly, when I get my shipping confirmation email, it works! ahahah, weird. ALSO: "If you are not available to answer the door at the time of delivery, FedEx will leave a Door Tag for you to sign. They will return later with the package. If you would like the package to be delivered without your presence, you may leave a note at the door with the package details (tracking number, etc. to verify that it really is YOUR package) and your signature." answer to a yahoo question from someone who claims to be a FedEx Phone Rep. :) Sounds accurate enough, especially for those of us who only require an indirect signature. Dunno if it'll work for direct signatures.
 
Ahh, ahhh, ACHOOO

*calling in sick right now for Monday*

and possibly Tuesday...


Come to think of it you ALL are starting to look ill yourselves!

By Monday the # of posts in this thread may rival the number of VeriPhones sold yesterday :D

Congrats! It's a good feeling, isn't it? Now you'll move on to killing your Command + R buttons refreshing to see if there are any new updates from FedEx. I know you will. ;)
 
Don't give up yet, everyone!

I *just* got my tracking e-mail, despite ordering at 3am. It seems they're just still processing them... must have a ton of orders if it's taking this long.

My guess is anyone who ordered around 3 am will almost definitely be getting theirs on Monday, regardless of when you get a shipping notification. Wouldn't be surprised if people got their phone on Monday without even having got an e-mail, at the rate things are going. :p
