Verizon iPhone Orders Already Shipping

[sclawis300]

Would verizon ever have UPS trucks drop off their Iphone 4 shipments at local post office's for a cheaper and faster Saturday delivery?..

This might be the stupidest question I have ever heard.

It can still make it from Wichita, KS to Springfield, MO if they dont jack around. I've got my fingers crossed.

seriously most of everyones orders are scheduled to come in on monday morning if ours get held until the 10th ill be pissed

I really doubt they will do this. I can see if this was the iphone 5 and people were possibly receiving them a week earlier than release date, but this phone, while "new," has been on the market for around 8 months. If they were to hold it that would just be crappy on their part. I would think they would want it in our hands ASAP so we can start spending money on apps and such.

This potentially sucks...........

why? I don't really think there is a hold on anything.

So my package is at the facility that its probably going to ship from to my home on monday. I am VERY tempted to head down there and try to convince somebody to let me have it early.

My fedex package still says "Initiated" but now my Anticipated Ship Date is February 5th! Oooo noo I want this phone Monday and there probably not going to ship out tomorrow! Btw, my location was D771101. Any more D7711011'ers having this problem?

Mine said "Initiated" up until 11:30pm last night (When I went to bed). I checked the status this morning and it said it was picked up today, 2/5/11 @ 6am and estimated delivery date is still 2/7/11 by 3pm. I would like to know how it takes over 24 hours to pickup a package considering the shipment info was sent yesterday @ 4:27am and the package was just picked up this morning @ 6am

So here is my plan if my iPhone gets to my local UPS facility tomorrow. I'm just gonna go in there and ask if I can pick it up. If they say no I just slip the guy $20 and say "you sure you can't get it?" If the guy says no again that is when I procede the punch the **** out of him.

What if he's built like mean Joe Greene?

 

[TechGrl]

Finally got to talk to a UPS rep today. She said that they won't hold the package for pickup until at least 1 delivery attempt is made. Bummer.

What I don't understand when I see updates like this is why so many of ours are still stuck in Memphis. My two orders were in Memphis at the same time as above, and yet they've just been sitting there for the past 24+ hours. I was order #22 at 1:49 AM CST. Doesn't seem like a first come first serve system.

 

[beany boy]

Okay so I figured I'd check out the App Store while waiting for the phone. Mind you this is my first iphone. My head feels like it's going to explode from all the choices. I want them ALLLLLLL. lol
I'm still trying to figure out how iTunes work though...

BANG! I just heard an explosion. Was that your head?

 

[ajk111]

ha!

Yesterday my package had stopped at, but left my local facility(Henrietta, NY).
Today I check and it's left a facility that's 350 miles away (Philadelphia, PA).

But the part that makes me laugh is the fact that they removed the Henrietta, NY scan.
Says it will be delivered Monday so I'm not stressing it, just thought it comical.

That's what happened to mine. My local hub is West Chester, it left WC for Philly then to Horsham,PA then back to WC this morning...what the F are they doing?! my neighbor works at UPS, and said hes going down there to try and get it today

 

[hershey00140]

I can't find it

Does anyone know if the Fed Ex Hub in Newark allows for customer pick as an alternative to waiting until Monday for delivery?

I want to find the same thing out, but I cant find where exactly their hub is. If there is a way, I want to go NOW!!

Help on tracking information

You better hope Tom Brands didn't take it back to Iowa with him.

I'll wrestle him for it

Mine looks exactly like this, I might try and pick it up today. I spoke with a rep at Verizon who apparently put on the account that we can pick it up on Saturday.

2 questions for someone who KNOWS FedEx shipping (no speculation, please).

What is "Standard Overnight - Indirect". What does the "Indirect" mean.

What is the workload for FedEx on Mondays? The thinking here is if the workload is lighter than other days, maybe FedEx can absorb a million or so deliveries with signature required without too much heartburn. I wonder if the Apple/ VZW retail stores are getting their iPhones via FedEx.

Inquiring minds want to know......

I order online frequently and have definitely seen that before. In my experience, UPS just has the scans out of order- How that is possible is beyond me, but I'm betting your package is in Newark atm even though the time of scans shows otherwise.

 

[MarximusMG]

What is "Standard Overnight - Indirect". What does the "Indirect" mean.

The entire term is "Indirect Signature Required." What this means is that they need some sort of signature upon delivery. A signed release form posted on your door (if you won't be at home) would suffice, and they would then leave the package at your door. When it is just "Signature Required", then they need you to physically be standing in front of them when you sign for it.

Mine is in Memphis and the FedEx phone system said it will be delivered Monday by 3:00 and it is on the way to the station that delivers to my zip 554xx. On line system still does not indicate it is "In transit".

My info looks very similar. Last night I had the arrival at Newark, NJ, which is about 20 miles from my house. This morning the tracking says picked up in West Chester, PA???!!?? Having used Fed ex tracking before I know Newark is my Hub. So why the hell is going to West Chester?
