FedEx Memphis hub

[malice]

I didn't say it was bad, did I? What I meant was that there seems to be no rhyme nor reason to how it's been carried out. No consistency whatsoever from what I've seen so far.

And yeah, I haven't received mine yet obviously or else I wouldn't be bitching.

True. Im with you there.

 

[macroweb]

Mine finally left the Memphis facility, finally!

Mine just got updated that it has just left the Memphis facility too!

I think the consistency is in realizing that different shipments depart the memphis hub at different times for different places. If Fedex hasn't changed since earlier this year most like my Phone will leave at or near 4:30pm today and fly (or ride) directly to tallahassee as thats when that run is made (doesn't mean I aint checking every 15 minutes).
The delay has most likely been Fedex holding them so they take 2 days to deliver, at least from the memphis facility.

I like your answer very much and I hope you are correct!

For those who have their phones leave Memphis, please also mention where it is heading to. I'm in the Chicagoland area and mine is still showing as sitting in Memphis.

 

[crashdogy]

That is one of those things that it depends on who you get. Its not as Verizon didn't already screw up early release.

This is what I had to do to get them to hold the phone for me / DAME, I called back tolled them would not be home. They said they could not hold phone for me do to Verizon polices. But said she would have them try to deliver it between 1:00 and 2:00 on 28th. She said hey would call if there was a problem. They just called from my local FedEx shipping center and said they could not deliver between 1:00 and 2:00 on 28th. I said can you hold it for me she said

Mine is headed to Austin.

No update out of Memphis for mine, aside from the fact that the box has mysteriously "gained weight." It has gone from 2.0 lbs to 3.0 lbs in the past 5 minutes or so.

 

[ORD84]

To top it off I hear people say they are picking their phones up at Fedex shipping center, but I tried to have my local Fedex shipping center hold mine but they said Verizon will not let them hold a package..it has to have 1 delivery attempt first.

Mine too, seeing as no one is going to be home on when they say it'll get there, I'm hoping for a delay just so I don't have to go through all of that trouble if I don't have to...it really makes me mad seeing as they won't just left me drive the 2 hours to Memphis, and pick it up myself

edit: I'm near Sugar Tree, TN..just so you have an idea on distance I'm about 1 hour west of Nashville

Lets bumrush FedEx in Memphis!!!

 

[roadhoop]

Departed Memphis 1:26 local time... Nashville TN

Blain is in Austin, 10 hour driver from Memphis. You and I (tallahassee) are roughly 8.5 hours away from memphis. If there is truly some sort of rhyme or reason I would figure our phones leaving at about the same time and 2 or so hours after Blain's which was around 3pm.

 

[cdd543]

funny mine also departed at 1:26 headed for nashville.

 

[brock915]

OK, I am in the same boat, waiting in Memphis hub. I am in the NW suburbs of Chicago. I just ordered a cheapy phone for my wife about 10:30am, and chose next day shipping, which was available for any order before 4:30pm. I just received a notice that the cheapy phone has shipped and it is currently at the Memphis hub with delivery for tomorrow. So for my Chicago brothers and sisters, looks like it will get on the truck to Chicago in a few hours.

Yeah and I'm stuck in the office writing reports...if it was one of my patrol days I'd pull over the FedEx truck and get my package

I may have to use my lunch break to go grab it though...what eta is yours showing? I'm showing an ETA of the 28th at 7pm

Maybe it will be an Incredibly big cockroach or spider - now included. Or worse it got very wet.

 

[wi_badger]

Mine headed to Milwaukee and its still sitting in Mempis as of 3:15.

 

[Skyfox16]

The call was about a 5 minutes; they called me pretty quick. It’s that bad to get done.

We have movement! My order just updated...

Apr 27, 2010 2:58 PM Departed FedEx location MEMPHIS, TN

I'm in the western suburbs of Chicago.

On a related note, the FedEx guy just stopped by to drop off my screen protectors I ordered yesterday from Verizon. I asked if he would come by around this time tomorrow with the phone and he said 'probably'. I then mentioned that I might not be home so he gave me a door tag to sign so he could leave the phone on the porch if I wanted. I'm all set! Though I'll probably end up just taking the day off anyway.

 

[VGPOP]

What are you guys saying? That even though my delivery says April 28th by 7:00pm, I won't get this baby tomorrow?

You will still most likely get it tomorrow. I had a similiar situation (2 day shipping) with a Droid. Sunday fedex gets notified, sat at Memphis till Tuesday and Wednesday it got to me.

 

[Wolfedude88]

Mine departed just about an hour ago apparently, took long enough.
