FedEx hasn't picked it up yet but they will. Plan on Thursday Delivery, but don't be surprised if it shows up Wednesday. Congrats!
What exactly is your point? I ordered my phone from VZW weeks ago because I'm switching providers. Did you not see where I said "I think I'm gonna cancel my order"? Some reading comprehension would do you and the person who quoted you and +1'd some well.
Before you try to "check" me, please be sure you know what you're talking about. The snarky rudeness that runs rampant on this forum is not gonna fly with me.
If you're an unlimited data glitch person, be very, very cautious. Read the invoice that's included in your package as mine said the 2GB data package while my email says unlimited data. I called twice. The first rep ("Liz") was as far from helpful as could be. The second ("Josh") was slightly more helpful but was still cautious about me doing it. I'm going to activate the device on another account and do a switch to see how that works.
If in doubt, call, call, call again. I've seen a number of success stories but it takes some time and patience. Or a secondary line.

No problem! I should also add in that I used this reddit thread as a good resource on what to do/have ready. I hope you and the others have better luck than I did.
That's weird because verizon themselves officially said that they would honor the glitch unlimited subsidized phone purchases. Good luck.
None of the reps would recognize the statement which is odd when others have reportedly had success. Tried to get a conversation with them on Twitter but fairly sure they hit the ignore button.
For unlimited data users who took advantage of the upgrade glitch, ask to speak with a supervisor.
I ordered in store on 9/28 and my 32GB Space Gray iPhone is on the truck for delivery today. I was originally quoted a ship by date of 10/28.

Tried activating my 5s shipment last night but ran into issues. Called VZW they confirmed the issue was me having unlimited on the account. They tried to pull me off and put me on max (6gb). Said no, said they issued a statement saying they would honor it. Was put on hold for five minutes. They came back saying they found the statement saying they would honor it and they would take care of it. Tried to activate again... No dice. They had to pull unlimited data to activate then reissue it.
Just an FYI for my mr VZW friends.

Mine still says shipping 10/28 on a 32GB grey order from the store on 9/30. Was able to ditch unlimited plan to do the 6GB Verizon Max plan sans the Edge program for the same $30 a month. They are doing this only for unlimited people. I use around 3-4GB and this allowed me to keep sub pricing on it.
Why do people keep calling it a glitch ? It lasted almost a week and ended on the last day of the 3rd QTR so it was no doubt a promo to boost the low sales numbers. Remember to swap sim cards and throw away the sim that comes with your phone. It will save you from dealing with a customer no service nightmare
