Mine is in NJ too, sadly, I'm much more North in Boston. Looks like I'll get it tomorrow. At least I have it shipping to work

WTF.


I'm in NJ and mine is coming from PA. Now i just checked and it says delivery exception on the site. Business closed. Uh, what?

Anyone else who has their package sending from Linwood PA. Please check and make sure yours does not have this message.

As of July 4th at 1am, my phone is sitting at a warehouse 3 hours away from me, but delivery isn't expected until Friday by 4:45pm.

Please, please, please Fedex update your website to tell me that it will be delivered today!

You might be disappointed. Mine was at a facility less then 1hr from here before July 4th. It just updated and it moved to a closer facility about 20mins away. It is sitting at this FedEx location and it looks like it wont be delivered till tomorrow.

What's the story with that Linwood facility? Are you guys have power outages around Philly? Or did they just shut down the facility for the 4th? I thought Fedex runs 24 hrs, 7 days per week?

I have no idea. We didn't have any power outtages so I am assuming it was shut down. I checked the tracking # yesterday but it didn't move at all until today morning.

Does anyone know if you can pick up a package from FedEx before the delivery date? My s3 is sitting at my local fedex facility scheduled to be delivered tomorrow...

God I hate FedEx. Estimated delivery was for the 6th so I took off work tomorrow. But it's already on the truck, out for delivery. Now I got to rush home before they stop by my house. And I work 50 mins away. :(

Going to be sooo pissed if they stop by my place while I'm on the road.


Let's put things in perspective here...you're complaining that you're getting your device early...it could be worse...

I'm taking what they say with a grain of salt. They could receive shipments today or tomorrow or even Monday.

I know come Monday night on the 9th if they dont have any I'll be at Verizons door step waiting for them to open on Tuesday.

The point is VZW has not communicated anything, but the other carriers gave BB notification to plan on for the G3 and even shipped some a tad early.

I see the dude's point, so guess we will see. Perhaps VZW is taking most allocations, so other channels could be choked out at launch. That could explain the lack of communication, if we want to go depressed goth and play some Cure. Kind of like the goth downer kids in South Park :(:):rolleyes:

Thanks for the power outage update. Sux that they shut down for the day...

From my experience, you cannot pick up at a Fedex location until they attempt two deliveries at your location. I'll confirm my thoughts with the Fedex guy if he comes to my office today.

Hopefully everything gets on track today and we get our phones soon!

Mines on a truck for delivery!

Pretty funny that my phone will be here before my case that I ordered last week.

I'm pretty sure some elements of FedEx were closed yesterday for the holiday, that is what that delivery exception was about far as I can tell.

Bad storms from last weekend caused lots of damage in the area, inc wide-spread power outages. However, I doubt that had anything to do with it. (edit: sorry I missed thelastdraco's post on this same subject)

Yeah I didn't think so, UPS is the same way.

I probably would be getting mine today or tomorrow too since I preordered at 8am on the 6th. But, I had to cancel the credit card I used to preorder and a few weeks ago went online to change it to a new valid credit card.

Well, turns out they still tried to bill the old credit card thus it got put on hold. Stupid Verizon :mad:

I called Tuesday and gave them my correct information. It's getting processed to be shipped out, so I will hopefully get it Monday. Oh well, I don't even have my otterbox yet! :p

Hey Cadis, you give me a bit of hope. I preordered on the 10th last month using my debit card thinking they bill it right away. Well guess they don't and I forgot that debit card expired last month. Been trying to update my card info online, in store, and have even contacted VZW directly but NOBODY can seem to update my card info in the system.

So in your situation, they just put your order on hold and they are letting you update your card without cancelling your order? How did you find out it was on hold (email, phone call, etc.)? I'm really concerned here because I'm afraid they will cancel my order which would make me lose my 2 phone pre-order AND I would lose unlimited data on both phones.

Give me some hope people!

Soothe my fears by brushing my hair and reading me poetry. OR just put me out of my misery with a choke hold ("there, there, go to sleep). :)

I called a local corp store just now the rep claimed Verizon hasn't given them an official launch date:rolleyes: I tried to tell the rep that Verizon announced it last week that they would release in stores on he 10th. But evidently she is so used to her script she still repeated they weren't given a launch date yet. lol

So I guess Best Buys not the only one in the dark so is some Verizon clueless store reps.

Dude! You're in Jersey and it's on the truck? Is it coming out of the Linwood location? I'm still stuck on "delivery exception"...

...it could be worse...
Yeah. Like Verizon's shipment confirmation email yesterday. :)
Clicked through to find the phone shipped on 7/3. :)
Checked order status again today to find it shipped on 7/3. :)
But Fedex says they're still awaiting shipment. :thinking:
So a call to Verizon "confirms" that it will ship today, 7/5.:mad:

I can only get excited about this phone arriving if I trust the Verizon's info.
But trusting Verizon is stupid, because they and their systems don't have a frickin' clue what they're talking about.:mad:
