Woo! Got a certain text from T-Mobile yesterday!

I'm guessing that since it's VZW and TMOBILE, that Samsung is the issue...

Yep, it sure looks as if Samsung clamped down on the carriers. My UPS tracking info still shows "Order Processed: Ready for UPS." The service is UPS Next Day Air so I'm guessing that T-Mobile will deliver the phones to UPS on Thursday.

 

[cjreyes666]

Checked mine and says scheduled delivery date 8/16.

 

[DILands]

Mine now says "Order Processed, Ready for UPS", no delivery date.

Verizon posted my FedEx tracking number! Delivery expected by 4:30pm, 8/19/2016. Maybe I'll get lucky and get it a day sooner? Who knows.

Tmoblie had my tracking number listed on Sunday and charged me on Friday. UPS still hasn't received my package. I'm thinking we won't get them tell Friday.

 

[DILands]

I don't really care, but it'll be interesting to see if someone tries for a class action lawsuit because, if I'm correct, TMOBILE isn't supposed to charge until the phone ships.

So I just got excited for everyone reading this post... Only to see no one got their phone yet??

I'm pretty sure people are seeing the authorization and not a charge posted to their account, which is what most places do now (like Amazon). They don't charge you until they ship, but they can get an authorization and as long as it doesn't post to the account, there is no charge.

 

[stang9779]

My charge is not pending it is already went through on to my account.

 

[DILands]

Just called the bank. The charge went through on Sunday...... Hmmmmmm

 

[seVer]

Launch is 08/19 (Friday). Why would anybody reasonably expect it 2-3 days BEFORE that? 1 day, perhaps, but 2 or 3????

Wishful thinking

It's not unheard of, but not common. Besides, we're an optimistic bunch!

The customize delivery options finally popped up on the FedEx site for mine only to find that all options are grayed out per Verizon's instructions. I have to wait until after they have attempted delivery and found no one home before I can say to leave it at the FedEx office! Some of us work during the day, Verizon!

an indirect signature is required, which means, you dont have to be there. If you have a safe place somewhere outside your house where it will stay dry, and people wont see the package, you can leave a note taped to your front door stating "FedEx, please accept this as my signature,..." and sign your name. Also tell them where youd like them to leave it, if not right there.
They should leave it for you.

so, Ive had my tracking number since Sunday night. Since then, they have tortured me as I have watched my phone get passed back and forth between fedex a Linwood PA, and West Chester PA.
This morning, rather than saying "held for pickup, future delivery requested", it finally says, shipping info received.
Ladies and gentlemen, I believe my phone is about to start moving.

And although my delivery date says 19th, I live in PA, so I still have some hope I might receive it tomorrow.

 

[DILands]

First, they have done this before. Secondly, I'm pretty sure the agreement says that they will not charge until the item ships, and the card got charged on Sunday. Lastly, received a shipping confirmation on Sunday showing Monday as the expected delivery date.

Thank you. You just made my day.

Same for me. My phone has been to 3 locations, but stuck in Linwood for 2 days. They did change the tracking info to "shipping info received" which means they will probably get it moving late today to get here sometime on Friday. I live in Montana so it will take 2 days to get here. I will be pissed if they don't get it here by Friday after purposefully holding it since sunday.

yeah... so...the update on this is that my phone still hasnt moved. Though I am in PA so it could get here really quickly if they ever begin moving it.

 

[kokiangel]

Mine says it has departed the FedEx location in Memphis as of 2:45 this afternoon. I got the note on the front door already just in case it gets here tomorrow. Not that I really expect it but better to be prepared.

 

[drexappeal]

Haha...mine hasn't shipped either. Same status on UPS. Looks like Samsung might have put the lockdown on early shipments...lol

 

[kokiangel]

As of 7:25 PM tonight mine says it's at the destination sort facility in Birmingham. Some of them are moving. Any other Verizon folks watching?

Yes I check mine a few times a day. Still says that it's in Memphis. No other update yet. Says arrival by 8pm on Friday. Hoping it gets to my house early on Friday.

Just received an email a little over half hour ago from UPS saying my phone will be delivered tomorrow. It is the coral blue T-Mobile Edition.
