I am so over Verizon. After calling the credit department on Thursday, I was assured everything was fine with the order, they had no idea why i even was asked to call, and that it would ship 10/24 as indicated on original 9/18 order confirmation as well as email from verizon a few days ago telling me the order was till on track.
Well guess what? By Friday night, no movement on order status page and card not charged. So I call Verizon.
The rep I got was very nice and very helpful. I told her everything that had been going on. She put me on hold and got someone from the credit department on the phone. So apparently, on Thursday, according to the rep, the credit department didn't "check mark" a box when the approved the order. :roll eyes:
The rep put me on hold again while she talked with the guy in the credit department. After a few minutes she comes back on the line to tell me that she is very sorry for the inconvenience as well as their mistake. She says, and I quote, "Your order has now been processed and the credit department has pushed you order to the front of the line to insure that it ships Saturday with next day air shipping. You are guaranteed to have your phone by Monday."
She then went on to tell me I would receive an email in the next two hours with tracking information.
By Saturday morning no such email had arrived and my order status had not changed.
Call Verizon again this morning and go over the whole crap-experience with her. She finds the order and goes over previous notes. Says she can see that the order was flagged as "moved to front of line" but nothing has happened and still shows pending. She sees no reasons now for order to be held up. I tell her again what I was told last night about the order being shipped on Saturday.
After a brief hold, the only thing the rep can tell me is that the order is in process, and now has a ship date of 10/28. LOL, seriously?! So basically, Verizon now has the habits of promising customers things that they can't hold up. At this point I really don't care and have never had such a terrible experience with a pre-order through Verizon. Like I told the rep, Im about to pack up my 10 lines and move my $550/month account to someone else.
