So how long does it take to get a tracking number? Also does anybody know what Verizon uses for a FedEx reference number?
I wrote this earlier...I don't if you were the same person or asked this question earlier or not
FedEx reference for Verizon is formated in this way:
(Location Code) P175401_00xxxxxxx (Ace Order Number)
Location Code and Order Number can be found by using the iconic system.
Getting a tracking number from Verizon will take a while. But if you sign up for FedEx Delivery Manager your tracking number show up in your shipments as soon the label is created. But you will not be notified by text or email (you have to subscribe for the notifications) until shipment is marked as picked up by FedEx then you will be notified by FedEx then. It took another 3 hours before I got a shipping confirmation from Verizon including my tracking number. So I will say it only takes about 8 hours (early morning like 3 AM to 5 AM) before the tracking number is shows up in FedEx system after the iconic status changes to 'S'. Another 4 hours before Verizon sends a shipping confirmation.
