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

I've been lurking for a few weeks. Had to finally post.
I saw a few other 6/19s being shipped today, so I've been trying the fedex trick over and over and calling *611 over and over.
Just called *611 for the zillionth time today and it says device pending activation!!!
Still no email and fedex trick isn't working yet. But there's hope!
Order date: 6/19 in store
Estimated shipping date: 7/17
*611 message: 7/13
Shipping info: Not yet
Shipping to Lafayette, LA
Upgrading from LG Dare as well.
As long as it gets here before my week long road trip in early August...

Yet another Dare to Incredible transition...welcome to the waiting room!

You probably won't receive tracking information unless you contact VZW. I think we've seen in here that most 'in-store' orders aren't set to send you tracking information. Give them a call and they should be able to provide you with that if you received the device pending activation message.

It's time you had a call with Mr. Verizon for a few bucks off your next months bill. I had this same conversation with them and got them to take 50% off my next month bill.


Yea i'm deff. due for that conversation, can't wait to hear all these excuses coming my way.

..and no I ment 6/11 lol.. yea I know its bad, and I'm going on vacation on saturday sooo IF my phone shows up next week its gonna be sitting at my neighbors house for a week which makes it worse.... gotta love it

just got off the phone with Verizon Customer Service.

I ordered my Dinc on June 29th and she said it would come guaranteed NO LATER THAN July 27th.

Cause Im going on Vacation Aug 7-14 and Needed it before then and she said there isnt even an Option for a ship date in August for Orders of June 29th and earlier! Yippie

was getting worried reading about all the backorders and such hah

I want to see some 6/20's starting flying, specifically mine.

Not 20 minutes later I get my shipping email!!!

Location: Denver, CO
Ordered InStore: 6/20
Estimated Ship: 7/19
Actual Ship: 7/13
Arrival: 7/15 by 4:30 MDT

Never gave the sales rep my email, but somehow I still got it! Its on FedEx so everything looks good, coming from Ontario, Canada. FedEx trick still does not work and no *611 you have a device...blah blah blah. FREAKING EXCITED!

Bought an extended life battery and a charger that can charge just the battery... SO, battery will be here tomorrow, will charge it before my phone gets here. The second I get the phone I can use it with a completely and correctly charged battery!

OMG!!!!!!!! OMG OMG OMG!!!! IT SHIPPED!!!!!!!!

Just did the Fed Ex Trick, expecting the same old "order not found". And... THERE IT WAS!!!!

July 13th, 1:34 PM - Shipment Information Sent To Fed-Ex. Estimated Delivery is the 15th by 7PM!!

This was more than I hoped for! With my 6/19 (7/16 est. ship) order I was just hoping it would go out by Wednesday. Can't even believe it went out today!! I'll have it Thursday!!!
Woo Hoo, its about time!!!!
OMG ya'll! I just gt the best news!

So all these 6/15, 6/16 inspired me to give VZw a call. First, I hear you have a phone waiting to be activated (I almost peed my pants). Second, CSR Rep gives me the tracker number (never received email). Third, it should be here tomorrow!! :D I am sooo excited. People are work are staring at me like its just a phone lol. They are so wrobg ;)

Placed order in store 6/18
Said shipping date 7/12
2nd said shipping date 7/19
Actual shipping date 7/14
Congrats to you too
I'm guessing by the fact that I have no notice yet, that my real order date is the 21st :( Now I"m sad.
Hey! Turn that frown upside down:D:D
We've all been there and are there for you, we family in here:):)

I really need to stop stalking this thread. I'm convinced some big announcement will come that they've caught up and phones are shipping out left and right.

No you don't, lol.:p There is no need to EVER leave, its like a bad episode of twilight zone in here. Got my phone 3 weeks ago and i still haven't left:D

Sweet, they are up to the 6/20's now!

Sadly this is probably not the result of an increase in production but more of a decrease in orders. Especially with so many people canceling their orders for the X. Not that I really care what phone other people get but it's kinda sad that they are losing business over something they can't really control.

I was planning to do the spare battery charger thing too but it doesn't look like I will have it in time. Apparently their was a factory delay in shipping (HA! Story of my life!) so now I won't have it until next week.

Oh My God! I just got my shipping notice!

I originally ordered my phone 5/10 and some how it was canceled with Verizon and had to reorder 6/3 with an expected shipping date of 7/30. After days of depression I checked my email a few minutes ago and the order has been shipped and expected to be here tomorrow.

The order was shipped for Ontario, Ca. which I thought was unusual but I am from Arizona as most of the posts that I have seen here are from the East.
