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

[ThinkPink]

Only Verizon can make you wish Monday would come sooner.

Ain't that the truth? But Verizon's not gonna make me wish away my 4-day weekend for nothin'!! Bring on the fireworks!!

I wonder if the motorola guys are setting back and 1) taking notes, 2) laughing their asses off.


I simply hope this phone isnt a let down. it will be my first device to have that a HTC product.


oh crap just heard big truck pull down my driveway...... @$%^&*()(*& ups

6/4 here with two phones on order. Did not get a shipping notice so I called CSR again this morning to see if they had something to tell me. Rep tells me ONE of my phones was actually shipped out on friday and I should expect it delivered today. The other one is on backorder and won't ship until furthur notice (notice??? What notice???)
Anyway, I asked for the tracking number on the phone that was shipped and he said he didn't have one. Should I believe him and expect my phone today??

It was shipped without a tracking number. It is a new FedEx policy they are trying out. It gets to you slower then then with a tracking number on it.

went from sort facility to local facility last night....but something tells me that they will deliver it to the murfreesboro facility today, and I wont get it until scheduled tomorrow...so just thinking out loud.... its at a hub 25 mins north of me, and today it will travel down the interstate, less then 5 mins away from my front door, to go to a facility 15 mins south of me.

[robbyslady]

syncing about 100 apps as we speak w/ appbrain, stickin w/ standard battery but might be ordering seidio 3500

its off the hook, check out posts from 2 nights ago... was some real characters in here....
and let me just say.... IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT

Ok....so what advise do you have for those of us waiting and waiting....what should we do first besides scream?

Ok I have a question it just occurred to me I have tracked my package about ten times a day since getting the tracking info. Am I the only one? With OCD that is.

Nope...you are not alone...right there with ya....and I see nothing wrong with it....lolol...my refresh button will be broken before this is all over with...lol

OK, I've been patient enough and need to vent for a second. Ordered 6/4...VZN rep said week & a half possibly 2 weeks. I called the VZN order status. They have no idea. I wish I woulda got that Motorola Droid like my wife wanted but the HTC Droid was free with that purchase. Now I'm using my wife's old pink Razor because mine had a nasty fishing accident. I had no idea it would be a month or more. I still do not know when my phone is getting here. I just wanted a phone that would help me be where I'm supposed to be, on time.
SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE MY HTC DROID IS....
Thanks, I'll shut up now....

Hang on....you should hear soon!

first post here. been lurking here since before and after my incredible order.

ordered: 6/21
ship by: 7/19

vzw already promised me a credit on my account if it doesn't ship by then and the CSR is going to do a follow-up before then to make sure i am on track. can't wait to join the club. this is my first smartphone!

Welcome....My first smartphone also....now sit back...relax (if possible...not) and put your seat belt on cause it is going to be a bumpy ride...lol

I don't see why you would be scheduled to get your package on Wednesday though, it should be Tuesday like the others who shipped on 6/27. Maybe Fedex is really busy.

I know....right!

 

[swampgator]

Actually this is where I've donated all my old phones, so the BB Curve will be showing up within the next couple of weeks! Come on, Verizon... give me hope!

well thats a good cause but the best buy by me buys used electronics and my versa is worth around $40 and i think the voyager was to. They might have info on their website

well howdy.... when was your will be shipped by date... did you order in store. Just to go on record, I hate the thompson lane store where I ordered mine from

 

[DWSFresh]

Ordered mine in-store on Sunday 6/20. Verizon's website is calling for a shipment by date of 7/26, which is bad news for me. I guess I can take solace in the fact that I'll have a new device (finally) soon, and, at the most, will be here within 22 days. I may call VZW to see if there are any exceptions, or if they have any Incredibles to send out. I'm just impatient as hell.

The month wait is a hell if you check forums and read about it in anticipation all the time. The very best thing you can possibly do is completely assume there is no chance you will get it early. Getting your hopes up and then being let down is a worse feeling than if you just assumed it would be coming 7/26 in the first place. Also try to not think about it, accept the fact that it's gonna be a long wait and just not worry about it.

I hate that store as well. I ordered online on 6/11 with a ship date of 7/9. But I just got off the phone with the local best buy and they told me they have a special deal with HTC to get the phones quicker, in about 5-7 days. I am on the phone with vzw trying to cancel my order right now.

The best buy I was in yesterday would not let me reserve a Dinc. I could buy a $50 gift card to reserve a droid X but he said they no longer placing holds or reserving any incredibles that come in (he had no idea when and if they were getting any more).

If I don't have a tracking number today I am off to best buy to reserve a X.

If I had already had not replaced a couple of other phones on my account recently I would be switching carriers in a heartbeat. 2 years from now I say "goodbye" to verizon.

 

[NightAngel79]

Well, here's a new wrinkle..I just talked to Verizon Customer Service and she confirmed this with her boss..

Originally, I ordered the Incredible on 6/17 and was told that it would first go out on 7/17 but by the end of the call they told me it would go out on 7/21.

Zoom ahead to today..

I was told that the very earliest that I could expect it to be shipped is 7/28 and more likely after that. The backlog is getting so long that they cannot keep up with the orders.

There is simply no excuse for this nonsense. I could chew steel and spit ten-penny nails right now.

Damn, that sucks donkey nuts......

Ok....so what advise do you have for those of us waiting and waiting....what should we do first besides scream?

scream first, then stress out, (just a little), then look at pics of kitten kung fu

Works for me!!!!

Good afternoon everyone!!!!!!!!!

 

[Velocitii]

6/2 here
shipped friday night
ive been tracking this thing nonstop
it came from california to indianapolis...
then for some reason it backtracked to memphis, tn
and is now on its way here.....i dont understand the backtracking? according to google maps, it sets the truck back by at least 5-6 hours....
the weekend went by pretty quick, found stuff to keep myself busy (hanging out, bbq, cruising around), but this next 24 hours is going to be dreadful.

 

[marrow226]

Ordered 6/4. Ship by 6/25. I haven't gotten an e-mail with a tracking number, yet. I just called up Verizon and they told me they just got a palette of phones in, today. She said it would take a few days for them to sort them out before they ship. Dammit.

 

[DincMe]

Anybody see this yet: Verizon asks Droid Incredible buyers to get Droid X instead | Electronista

Not sure of the validity, but I certain don't question the logic.

 

[Rippin508]

If I don't receive my phone by the fall, I will order the Samsung Fascinate.

 

[ThinkPink]

It's a wonder we're all keeping our sanity over this because it seems that each week starts out the same and turns into a vicious cycle...

Monday.... Perhaps my phone will ship this week!
Tuesday... Cautiously optimistic
Wednesday Has anyone gotten their email notification?
Thursday... More Customer Service runaround
Friday....... What do you mean my Ship date has been pushed back??
Sat & Sun.. F**k!! Fedex usually doesn't deliver on the weekends!!

Then back to Monday.... (*sigh*)

For all the new folks and some of the rest of us who've been here awhile, please refer to last week's post.... Through all the anxiety and impatience it's just best at this point to ride it out!! Perhaps once our wait is over we may actually laugh about this.... or not!

Typically, I am not a believer in destiny or divine intervention or anything like that. However, this Goat f*ck from Verizon has me rethinking my position on these things.

Evidently, my decision to enter the Smartphone arena was made at on exactly the precipice of the Perfect Storm. In life, sometimes you get the bear and sometimes the bear gets you. Well this time the Bear mauled my ass bloody.

Between the screen issues and Verizon's ever increasing wait times, there are too many factors working against this device for my comfort. I refuse to wait until August just to find out the suppliers of the power buttons went "toes up" and pushed the device back to a Christmas timeframe.

My hat's off to all of you that have gutted it out for your Incredible and to those that are stil waiting. I salute you one and all but I am pulling the plug on this patient and moving to the Druid X.

Fare well, I suspect I will be logging into the Droid X "where the hell is it' forums after july 15th..I may see some of you there.

Awwww, bpman! I understand your frustration but are you sure you wanna throw in the towel now? You've been waiting patiently just like the rest of us!
