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

My still says that as well, but it's only because the new device has not been activated. If you try to click on "upgrade now" it will tell you, you are no longer eligible due to recently purchasing a new phone that has not yet been activated.

Damn.

This is where my phone came from. I have been tracking it on fedex. Going to be delivered today!

What day did you buy yours on? Did you gt it online or in store?
Was it bought with new every two? I must know! Haha

I just had to place a re-order yesterday(dust underneath the screen) and they said mine would be here at the latest on the 9th. Let's hope it doesn't take near that long to get here, even though my phone works perfect, but that dust just bothers me way too much.

th.doyle · May 19, 2010

I'd take the dust for the phone in my hands right now

Is it true that Verizon only has one location for a warehouse?
In fort worth texas?

All packages shipped out have fort worth texas as the return address because that is where the return center is. They ship from multiple warehouses.

a few of my friends are verizon reps, and said that the stock in the memphis warehouse went from 4000 to 24000, so stock should be getting better around the southeast soon

Don't get your hopes up.

As I continue to wait (ordered 5/8 with ship date of 5/14...but still no phone), I did get an email from VZW this morning indicating that they're backordered and they'll email me a FedEx tracking number once it's shipped. I knew this but thanks...I guess.

for any of you still waiting for your droid INC to come in the mail... If you go to verizonwireless.com and login into your account does it still say you are eligible for an upgrade? mine does. I feel like they made an error when I bought it in store and didnt do something right cause it says im still eligible. no complaining though. This could be a very good thing for when LTE phones come out in a year...

This doesn't mean anything. As with the charges/etcs that don't go on your account til you activate the device, this changeover for your upgrade won't happen til you activate the device either. Don't think for one moment Verizon would miss out on extending your contract

Great Goo,

Where are you at? Just so I have an idea which center is NOW starting to ship out.

Thanks

Did you keep it in your pocket?
Do you keep it in a case?

Sounds like Dr. Suess

So, I just got to place my order today, and while I am excited, I dont think I can believe the CS's quoted shipping time.

When i made the order, i said that I know it is popular right now, and asked if they have any idea when it might ship. The CS rep said she would see if it was backordered. A short pause, and she came back and said it wasn't, and that it should go out today with two day shipping.

I am going to call back later today, and see if there are any updates (since my order had a corporate partner discount, i want to make sure it went through correctly) and update people here...

It's probably them seeing the "virtual inventory" and thinking it'll go out. I wouldn't bank on something like that.

Ordered mine on 5/10

5/11 the website changed the order status to: "Your order has been processed. You should receive your order within 2 - 3 business days."

Waited home 5/13 and 5/14, no show. Used my last day off thinking it would come on the 14th. Called big red and it went something like this:

Me: Your website says I should receive my order by 5/14, but I never received a tracking number from you, can you check and see where the phone currently is?

VZ: One moment please...(jazzy hold music)
VZ: I'm sorry sir, your phone has not shipped yet. You can expect it to ship by 5/29.

Me: ....what?
Me: Okay, I know things get sold out on big hits like this, but the website says Receive, not "sitting in a warehouse thinking about being shipped"--isn't that a little misleading?

VZ: It's just an automated message sir.

Me: I think you're missing my point, I was eager to receive the phone, but its not the end of the world. I guess what I'm getting at is that a little more heads up would have been nice, and perhaps more accurate automated messages? I am frustrated that I used my last day off for this month, but I'll manage.

VZ: (Generally annoyed that I didn't take to well to the automated messages being a tad misleading, says his closing message...etc)

So there was my situation so far, fun fun! Looking back I guess I was a bit abrasive with the CS rep. I'm generally a easygoing person, I'm not sure if I was a little too aggressive with them, it's not their fault I misunderstood that message, but boy was I pissed that day!

Still waiting on a FedEx tracking #.

Oh, almost forgot. I live in the north eastern part of Maryland.

Oh i know. But, I can at least dream, right?

loowaters · May 19, 2010

I haven't been this prepared for anything to arrive since my kids were born.

Yep..I just called, and the CS person this time said that with my order being paid today, I should expect it shipped by June 9th.. :rolleyes:

If you didn't have a tracking number with an estimated delivery date, why did you take the day off?

I had ASSUMED it would have been there, overnight shipping...etc this isn't the first time I've had something overnighted from vz and never received a tracking number.

Swens221 · May 19, 2010

I talked to the Verizon store today where my phone was purchased and I was told that all orders bought on 5/12 or before will be shipping no later than 5/28.

th.doyle · May 19, 2010

I don't care what the latest date will be... I want to know that they'll send it earlier...

GAAAHHH!!!
