Those of you who have experience with FedEx deliveries... I won't be home until 4:30pm tomorrow so I will most likely miss the delivery. Will I be able to pick it up tomorrow evening at whatever location it says, or will I have to wait until Monday?
 
I ordered on the 14th of Sept. around 9pm for a 64 GB Gold iPhone 6 which said deliver by 9/19. Just got an tracking email early this morning saw it when i got home from school. Checked it and FedEx says i'm going to get it tomorrow around 1 pm!

At least you guys have phones that have been picked up.

VZW "shipped" mine early this AM and it's been ready for UPS pickup all day - Still no pick up.

Showing as next day air with delivery tomorrow.
Sure hope UPS swings by and gets the phone from VZW at some point --- Starting to think the whole thing will suddenly show "arrives Monday" at some point.

Seems like it would have been picked up and scanned by now, no?

You're not alone... mine did the same thing around 3:30 AM today... but I have faith... mine is heading west coast (phx) so, even if it's on the east coast, they can make up the time on a flight with the time change...

Where I am, they have Saturday delivery and missed deliveries on Friday will be retried on Saturday.
 
Not from what I've heard, cause it affected everyone, I dunno.

UPS doesn't update as quickly as FedEx. Most of the time the first scans don't show up until overnight...

UPS is on top of the shipment tracking right now for sure, at least on my shipment anyway. Left Louisville at 3:42 and arrived in Houston at 5:42. My tracking info reflected the arrival scan at 5:48.
 
My phone arrived at dulles around 5pm. I'm guessing that they will move it to my closer depot which means I may get it earlier than expected tomorrow.
 
Of those still "Waiting for UPS pickup"...

Anyone else in this group: W779301 ?

nope, but, I am in the "Waiting for UPS Pickup" group, and mine does start with W if that signifies anything (hopefully it means westcoast since that's where I am at, but I doubt it.):

W327701
 
Here is my situation on Verizon:

Line 1 (me) - Unlimited Smartphone Data (No Upgrade Eligible)

Line 2 (wife) - 2GB Smartphone Data (Upgrade Eligible)

I want to use iPhone 6 on Line 1 with Unlimited Data.


I pre-ordered iPhone 6 last week (due on Sept 19th) under Line 2 since it said upgrade eligible using new Verizon edge plan for the monthly payments option.

Please assist: When I receive the phone how can I transfer the iPhone 6 to my number so I still keep unlimited data and my wife still keeps her old phone on her line.

Do I need to call up Verizon customer service to have the switch done or can it be done online?
Should I not turn on the new phone just yet?
Do I need to do something with the sim cards on both the iphone 6 and my old iphone 5.
 
So my 6 plus is in Pennsylvania, i live 15 minutes from new york and its supposed to get here in 7 minutes... logic? is fedex screwing with me?

Nope, FedEx has the authority to de-construct your iPhone and sell it for parts on the black-market.

Happens every day, read up.

You miss it, you might as well head to Tijuana and try and find your phone in pieces.
 
Looks like my wife will have her 6 Plus 128GB tomorrow night.

What are the chances here at 8pm I'll get a tracking number tonight for my 6 Plus 128GB delivered tomorrow?

You shouldn't have a problem doing it online. Just log in and under the manage devices section, hit activate or switch device and it's pretty easy. Just select your line, it will have you input the sim and serial number for the phone and it should activate on your line no problem. Nothing needs to be done to switch any SIM cards, and you can do it immediately.
 
So, this is going to be long winded but the craziest thing just happened to me. I called the internet orders number to check on the status of my phone and to my surprise I received a tracking number. When I hung up the phone the tracking number that I received had a delivery date of tomorrow but was being sent to Chula Vista, CA (I live in PA). I called back and was told that someone gave me the wrong tracking number and that I wouldn’t be receiving my iPhone until 10/7. So to sum this up the rep gave me the wrong tracking number to get me off the phone!! This is why I hate VZW but they’re the best as far as coverage goes. I also found out the breakdown of when you should expect your phones (assuming you got a VZW iPhone 6+ 64gb in gold). These delivery dates are based off of when the phone was ordered.

3am-316am – 9/19
317 am – 742am – 10/7
743a – 1107a – 10/14
1108a – 404p - 10/21
405p – 1125p – 10/28

When the phone comes do not turn it on. Take the SIM card out of your iPhone 5 and put it in the iPhone 6, this will activate the iPhone 6 on your line. If your wife is taking your iPhone 5 you will take her SIM card and put it in the iPhone 5. If your wife isn't switching phones than you do not need to do anything with her phone/line/SIM.
