Date you ordered and received the phone vs. "will ship by" date

R.Giskard · Jul 1, 2010

VZW is trying to give me a stroke! Received "sorry" email, yesterday. 5 min. later received shipping notice and fedex tracking. Expected arrival from fedex 7/2. received text msg. from VZW this evening stating sorry there is a 8 day shipping delay. Stopped in Verizon on way home to check out if this was just a late text. CSR could not tell me sh*t except that it was out of their control and would I like a Droid X. lol.

I'm just going to keep checking that FEDEX sight for movement. lol

VZW still doesn't have its act together. Customer service is appalling and I don't believe anything I hear.

Ordered 6/5
ship date 6/30
arrival: 7/2 by 7:00pm.

Going to have to take an ambien to sleep tonight. Thanks everyone for helping to pass the time.

Sounds about accurate, ordered 6/18 & supposed to ship 7/16 but since its a weekend I have to wait till 7/19

But Amerszzz, you should be good. Yours is on a Weds. so you'll prolly gt it by that Friday.

Maybe the phones will get here sooner then posted. Well we can at least hope so. If they do get shipped sooner they will prob. have the sony screens.

I'm a 7/16, too. I am hoping for a miracle and they end up doing some serious catch-up on production. At the very least I would like to receive it on 7/16 so I can have the weekend to get it set up and play with it.

I won't hold my breath though :rolleyes:

That's exactly how I feel about it, no hopes up. But I'll try & think positive for you Amerszzz.

Yeah if you did you would die for sure. Verizon is taking forever! Ive never had to wait this long for a phone before. It does seem like theres been an increase though. Ive been logging on to this forum for weeks and at the begining the orders were shipping out a lot slower then they are now.

OMG! I just received a text from verizon telling me my order will be delayed up to 8 business days. But not to fear! Because I'm such a loyal customer, here is a $25 gift card! I just got my tracking # yesterday and I've been following it on Fed EX. It's now in Oakland and still on time for a 7/2 delivery by 7pm. I had already got my email about the delay and the $25 on 6/29. I think it's Verizon trying to push me over the edge one last time! Anyone else get a text after the email?

Yeah, i got the text after i got the shipping email from fedex with the tracking number. Verizon can't get anything right these days. Lucky for them, their network is better than everybody else.

New rule for Haiku.
One Haiku till ship date.
Eight Haiku's today.

More phones ship today
Things are looking better now
Eight Haiku's is hard

Does anyone know
If FedEx ships Saturday
If so amazing

People say worth wait
But I ask worth three hundred
Why must we pay first

Verizon useless
as a bucket of arm pits
Need incredible

Haiku number six
Wish I did not have eight days
Seven is as hard

Two Haiku's to go
Why pay before ordering
Shipping is bogus

Three hundred dollars
Should get me faster shipping
Hope rebate will work

Been lurking for a few weeks. Just registered tonight to share good news. I think we need it.

Ordered 6/7
Promised ship 6/28
Actual ship 7/1

2 days ago I emailed Verizon and called. The call got me a 100 dollar credit to my account and the email got me a 25 dollar gift card. Then today I got another notification and they are sending me another 25 dollar gift card. So 150 dollars in savings for a phone I spent 107 for.

Good luck to all those still waiting!

How did you get the $100 credit? I called a few days ago and all i got was a "sorry". I guess i was too nice to the CSR.

omshivashankara · Jul 1, 2010

Psychic influence over VZW - Call CS a day or more after your expected ship date and magically, you will get a shipment email. I've seen it happen to numerous others (tens of pages ago) and it happened to me today, after being told of a 8 day delay.

Try it!

Verizon we hate you
Verizon we love you
come forth and deliver

blastoff99 · Jul 1, 2010

Thank you for keeping the haiku alive, 2010 ZR1. That was very thoughtful of you.

In your honor, and to acknowledge all who still wait, patiently or otherwise:

Inc is worth the wait
So keep the faith everyone.
I will sign off now.

Wow, Im shocked that you had to pay 300? well plus the Mail in rebate would be 200 in the end right?

I got mine for 50$. New Every Two plus another 50 off with the private sale they were doing that i got invited to. AND I didn't have to pay right then. They billed to my account so im going to see the bill for the phone around when i receive it.

Ordered: 6/11
Estimated Ship Date: 7/9
Actual: Waiting....getting closer I hope.

mfruech · Jul 1, 2010

The wait is so long
It is an eternity
I hope I survive

Night all.....

Ordered: 6/15
Estimated Ship Date: 7/13
Actual: Anybody's guess at this point....

I have to have someone to teach me how to do a haiku one day .. again (haven't done one since 10th grade).

... i tried it again and it worked, but the OK and END/Power buttons (in addition to a few letters) were dead and essentially rendered the phone dead...

I have the same problem with my env2...i've been pretty careful with my phone with not dropping it or in the toilet like you did though hahaha the majority of my front buttons just stopped working (like the ok, send, some numbers) so whenever I get a call I have to flip it open and close it - i've mastered the technique! can't wait to get rid of it though and enter the smart phone world - hope you get your shipment soon!

Yes, 300 in store with 100 mail in rebate, should have gotten me faster shipping or something. Mine was an early upgrade, so yea. The guy there didn't even mention that I could have it billed to the account, just that if I wanted to order the phone, I had to pay then.

EDIT: Welcome to the 6/10-6/11 order race.

It's three lines consisting of 5 syllables, 7 syllables, then 5 syllables again.

Race bumped to 7 people, Nasphreak(6/11), omegach (6/11), 2010 ZR1 (6/11), olbriar (6/10), RedSox566 (6/10), shannon126 (6/10), and joodi (6/10). Lets see who gets shipping notification first.

We're in the same boat. Without a paddle.

kenn · Jul 1, 2010

Tired of waiting
Incredible it must be
We must be obsessed

6/13er. Seems as if the numbers are starting to get close... a few 9s, a couple of 10s, one 11...

That said, if I get a TFT, I'm going X. I wanted the AMOLED when I ordered and I won't accept a switcheroo.
