when was the pickup scan put on package? If Saturday then you SHOULD get today. If it's was Monday you'll get it tomorrow. That's the key.

Trust me it's not FedEx. Verizon won't allow us to deliver early. Can't correct an address (even if we know it) without their permission,delaying the delivery, etc. With the Passports its pushed thru system like that but because it's Express Saver those won't be delivered/sorted for an early delivery. As for going to station to pickup early the reason why is those cans/freight haven't been sorted and chances its at the ramp/airport and yet sorted.

Did you transfer an upgrade to a tiered line, activate the phone, then switch them?
----------
...or did you pay full retail?
Transferred my upgrade to tiered line; upgraded at upgrade price on tiered line, not full retail. When phone came I acitvated it on tiered line. Once activation occurred and all changes happened on Vzw website I "switched" devices over the phone with rep as for some reason the online switch didn't work right away. In the end. Maintained unlimited. Wife now has my S4.
I will defer to your knowledge and stand corrected re Verizon.
And also understand Fedex has it's business policies on this according to their operational needs. Its the same reason why my operations policy will always places them as second choice behind UPS for many types of shipments.
Awesome. That's the exact process I'm going through. Should receive phone Thursday and I'll continue to the next step (activation on tiered line, then "switching" phones). How long does activation take? What do you mean by "once...all changes happened on VZW website?"
Trust me I don't want to be delivering 28+ stops of Verizon phones today when half of those were in yesterday. But Verizon pays the bills so it is what it is.
As for your business and preference... Ummm ok whatever works for you I guess
Upgrading contract.
----------
Called Verizon they said it shouldn't stop it since I paid for the phone already.
I had to call in activation. Took less than 5 minutes. Once the iPhone actually showed up as the phone for the tiered line then I made the switch happen. It took about 15 minutes for some reason.
Did you get an error message when you tried to activate it online? What number did you call to activate it? Did you activate and switch phones both over the phone? If so, was this 2 separate calls or the same call?
Sorry, I don't want to screw anything up and lose my UDP.
good deal. I will watching your posts like a hawk then waiting for you to get some movement. good luck!
No error msg. Just activated over phone because I didn't do it correct through phone or on site. It was no issue though. Then to make switch I made separate call. Yes. Two calls were made. Same number I called. Two diff reps. I would suggest two calls if u go this route. Otherwise activate online then switch online or combo or mentioned steps. Just make sure u activate on tiered line first. The switch over phone or online shouldn't Impact anything as it's just a switche.
To get info on checking the iconic status see the link below:
http://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/2gcb8k/did_you_preorder_through_verizon_heres_a_way_to/
Once your iconic status is at S you can see if a shipping label has been created by going to FedEx and tracking via reference using the following as the reference #:
(7 digit ACE ORDER LOCATION)_0000(5-digit ACE ORDER NUMBER)
So if your ACE ORDER LOCATION is X123456 and your ACE ORDER NUMBER IS 12345 you would track: X123456_000012345
You can get the ACE info from your iconic info
I know it sucks but you realize its because you have two phones you're waiting on don't you?
Can't be an issue for him, I ordered one 6+ and there are people that ordered after me getting their phones before me, and they have the same configuration as me. 128SG+
Yeah I remember, we ordered same config on same day... How many have shipped after us?
Yeah, i had asked them about it and they told me they were ordered together. Granted I have never preordered before so i didnt know what to expect. I thought about cancelling and reordering but shipping times were much longer then 10/31. Im not complaining or anything I just hope that the 10/31 ship date sticks otherwise im **** out of luck. I've called multiple time and cs says that im good for the 10/31 date so hopefully they were'nt lying to me.
Looking at the ordertracker.me site two that ordered(10/21 & 10/22) the same config as us has shipped out already.
