Verizon iPhone Orders Already Shipping

Just checked my FedEx tracking number and it looks like delivery is set for Monday, the 7th, by 3 PM. Still awesome news! Though I got really worked up for a delivery today. :p

I agree. Monday is still much better than next Thursday. I actually had stuff to do this weekend and would have never gotten it done with a new phone. Whatever, I would have loved to have it today though.

Walked outside this morning and we had 6 inches of snow on the ground. I am from the midwest originally so I understand this is not much, but here in Texas it is. No way I would have gotten it anyway.

Dallas/Arlington was not prepared to deal with this ice/snow and the upcoming superbowl. I am hoping nobody misses it because of the weather.
 
Anybody else have their order cancelled because of their credit card? I can't figure out why when I checked the status of the order it didn't say cancelled. The rep told me if it didn't say cancelled than it was nothing to worry about. Bumer. I sure am disappointed that mine didn't go through...after getting up at 2:55 AM to order. I guess its next Wednesday at 3 AM for me...*groan*
 
Strange

This is weird... when I go to Verizon's site to look up my order, it says here is the status of your order, then it shows my new number and says, for orders received today, will be delivered by the 10th.

First of all, they aren't even taking anymore orders today. Second, so what does this mean for all of us who ordered yesterday as far as to "when" it will be delivered by???? :confused::mad:

On my order confirmation email, it said (1) FEDEXSTDOVERNIGHT3PM. does this mean it was definitely fedex, or could they have changed it because of an order overload or something? (I understand if you don't know the answer to that) I submitted my order at 2:02am CST, so it's kind of upsetting that I still don't have an email and people who ordered it later already have confirmation it'll be there today xD my mom deals with shipping all the time at work, and says that they might not have entered an order number. I'm just really anxious d:

I really don't have the answer to that one. I think that all the confirmations said FedEx, but due to the volume and location VZW has opted to use UPS as well. Anything i've received from VZW in the past, that i've ordered online, has come via FedEx.

Just got my notification...from West Chester, Pa...I live 3 effin mins from the building...I.am.going.to.poop.my.pants.

Laughter is good therapy for the anticipation stress I'm feelin! Thanks for the chuckle. This IS a support group. More seriously, if mine is still in West Chester and you go to pick yours up, can you get mine too? I'll be there 2 hours after you PM me that you have it -just kidding. mostly.

You can track by reference number on FedEx, for those who are wondering if maybe you just haven't received the email from VZW yet.

Use your location code mine is 0862001
Underscore
Your order number, MUST BE 9 DIGITS so if yours is only 5 digits, for example 76547, fill the prior area with 0's so 000076547

Track by reference on FedEx your number should look something like 0862001_000076547

You'll need to supply the country and destination zip code as well.

I just saw this, but it didn't work. I ordered at 3:15 and the automated service says shipped, no tracking ID. However, I have a business discount through FedEx, perhaps people with discounts like that are getting shoveled to the back of the room?
 
Mines shipping Monday as well. I live in Columbus, Ohio. I think we are forgetting that we've just had one of the biggest blizzards in recent history across the midwest and east coast. Naturally there will be some air traffic and delivery delays. I never expected the phones to even ship till the 9th so I'm excited. I'm just glad I can relax now and wait for a Monday delivery. Makes staying up late worth it to get the phone 3 days ahead of launch and I don't have to go out into the cold and fight crowds. Very excited for Monday.
 
Got my email from Verizon with FEDEX tracking number. It'll leave today and I'll have it on Monday! sorry, no time for a screen shot, but this is the real deal.:D
 
Well apparently the $1400+ "pending transaction" on my online bank account was just a preauthorization, according to the VZW rep I talked to. I've never heard of a preauthorization in that amount, but the charge is gone now and according to her my purchase hasn't been declined or anything. *611 says the order has shipped, but I haven't received the tracking email and can't get any tracking info from the phone system.

I'm pissed. Basically they have no idea what they're doing and are just shipping random phones to random locations. Either way I won't have my phone before next Tuesday at best, and that's assuming my purchase hasn't been declined.

I would have been fine with getting my phone next Thursday or Friday, and then they start with all this "your order has shipped" BS. Always the worst luck.
 
FYI....the online order status site is not broken. It just won't display information if your order isn't completed and shipped.

Someone on the Verizon forum said that we can call Verizon and they will have FedEx hold for pickup tomorrow (for those with Monday delivery dates). Has anyone else tried this? If it leaves Memphis today, then it would arrive at the local warehouse this evening and out for delivery Monday...so I suppose you could go pick it up, but curious how this would work.

Those of you who have tracking numbers, what kind of reference number do you have? By this I mean the one you'll find on your tracking page (UPS or FEDEX).

If we know what they use as a reference number (one of the numbers we have, or a name, or something) the people like me who can't check their order status and haven't received the email will be able to use the reference number to look it up.

Mine is shipping via FedEx. My reference number and purchase order number are the same and are both in the following format...

XXXXXXX_AAAAAAAAA

X = ACE Location Code without the "-" (7 total digits/characters)
A = ACE Order Number (9 total digits)

So for example if your ACE Location Code was N2317-01 and your ACE Order Number was 595 the reference number and purchase order number would be...

N231701_000000595

Hope that helps!

Also, it appears my phone is shipping out from Memphis (destination is Kent, OH). It also appears that I cannot use the online "Hold at Shipping Location for pickup" feature for this shipment (according to FedEx's website). So no chance of picking it up tomorrow. Looks like I'll be waiting until Monday (not a huge deal... what's a few more days when I've been waiting years for this).

Yipppeeee!!!!!!

Just notified of shipment. Shipping today via Fedex standard overnight (Indirect Signature Required). Will be here on Monday.

BTW... where can we get a door tag for fedex for those of us who won't be home at time of delivery??

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I've done this before, but I didn't even tell the shipper. I just went to the FedEx warehouse listed on the tracking number at like 11pm (they're open 24/7) and they didn't give me a problem.

I'm with ya on that one. I missed out because I put the order thru in my name instead of the account owners name. Apparently it makes no difference that I am an authorized account manager and can make any changes to the account. They never even bothered to call me.

If it says 'Indirect Signature Required' all you need is a handwritten note. If it says 'Signature Required' you need a pre-authorization form or you need to be home lol

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Delivery for mine is Feb. 7th. No shipping email, but this worked perfectly!!!
 
Just talk with a Verizon Rep when I dialed 611. I asking her to track my phone, she ask for the tracking number, then she ask what type of phone was it. When I told her she stated the IPhone would not ship until the 10th.
:(

Thanks! And I just want to let everyone know that my Fedex package will be here on Monday, and I ordered at 6:30am eastern time yesterday. Thought the people who slept later, like me, would feel a little better about this info.
