Eryl,

I don't believe your package is ground shipment anymore. It has been upgraded to FEDEX Air Freight. See my post previous to yours.

COOOOLLLLLLLLLLLL! :cool:

:thrasher::congrats::beer:

My shipment info appears to be at a standstill since last night so FEDEX must not be doing any updating on their end. They actually shipped my phone to a place that's about 20 miles to the west of West Chester, PA and seem to be letting it spend the night there. It actually went further away from me. Figures.

Got my tracking at 830am today

Picked up this morning by FedEx and two day delivery on MONDAY!!!!! Wtf is this crap. I'm three states over for god sakes. So much for overnight shipping ..

Trent Reznor · Jul 4, 2012

Celebrated to soon :eek:

FedEx is showing an expected delivery of 7/9.... I leave on a business trip that morning

Looks like I won't have my phone until i get back on 7/16 :eek:

rmcf · Jul 4, 2012

I ordered the 16GB White on 6/13 and saw my CC charged but no shipping notification. Called VZW and the lady said the order had, in fact, shipped last evening but the holiday / shipping carrier closures may or may not impact quickness of shipping notification. Bottom line though is that at least one person who ordered later than 6/6 is getting shipped.

Excellent choice by VZW releasing these early... i am generally the first to give them the finger but it looks like they will be the only carrier with a smooth release (fingers crossed)

Update to this, soon after calling VZW i got my shipping confirmation. Said delivery by 7/9... but I am getting shipped within 10 miles of the West Chester Fedex hun so hopefully that is just incorrect

Might be coming on Friday. Make sure you leave the pre-signed FedEx tracking notice on your door in case they do come early.

Any of the orders shipping 32gb versions? VZW is thinking some 32gb will be waiting beyond next week even for preorders. Probably second wave orders, but not sure.

I just threw up in my mouth after reading this. Damn you people & your shipped phones :eviltongue::eviltongue:

grossie · Jul 4, 2012

Argh the wait is killing me! I ordered on 6/13. No word yet. The only progress is that when I check on the preorder link (https://preorder.verizonwireless.com/iconic/iconic/screens/IconicSearchInit.do) it comes up now, whereas before I couldn't get it to work. Does anyone know the different status types? Mine says "we received your order and it is in process". Does that mean they're actually moving, or that's the standstill message? The ship-by is listed as 7/9/12, which is what I was told on the phone by the CSR yesterday.

Based on my current expected delivery date you will be playing with your GS3 before me

It will be sitting on my desk until 7/16.

Oh well... time to flash a different jelly bean rom on my Gnex to keep me occupied while I wait.

Kneeoil · Jul 4, 2012

FedEx number received. Shows shipping today (32GB white) with arrival after 4pm Monday (PA to Denver).

I ordered mine the 13th and get my CC charged and got delivery information... it is probably just a matter of time for you know.

Lol, I am literally less then an hour from the origin and fedex sort facility and mine was shipped yesterday with an estimated delivery date on friday. I am really testing my patience by not driving there and picking it up myself. FedEx does not operate on holidays otherwise I would get it a little early but I guess I am glad that I will have it before the weekend.

My "order" number is in the 40s and still nothing. Not even the promised email explaining the so called error in processing. I mean seriously, if there is a problem, it's not like you have no way to contact me...

Congrats to cclancy, but boo on you verizon for the craptastic order tracking and fulfillment system.

My order is also in the 40s got my CC charged yesterday but upon checking the site , nothing , no tracking number just the normal ship by 07/09. got no email as well.

Pile up on the hot BBQ sauce and then cool down with coleslaw and beer. That will make things better

I still have a bottle of hot from when I went there (Commissary). Tangent to the thread, but still tasty.

Standstill message. I think this is what mine has said from the day I preordered (10th) until now.
