How long do you think for shipment?

[itsnotashley]

So I got two emails and I just wanted to post them up and say a couple things. I left out stupid stuff (like their closing and etc.)

Here's the first one I got on the 21st:

Spoiler

Your Verizon Wireless Shipment Notification (Order #[7-digit number])

Thank you for placing your order with Verizon Wireless. We wanted you to know that your Verizon Wireless order was shipped.

Order Information
Sales Order - [7-digit number]
Sales Location - [another 7-digit number]
Mobile Phone Number - XXX-XXX-XXXX

Shipment Address
Blah Blah
Blah Blah Blah
Blah Blah Blah Blah

Tracking Your Order
If you'd like to track the progress of your shipment via FedEx, you'll find its current status at FedEx Tracking - FedEx Shipping - FedEx Web Site. Your tracking number is XXXXXXXXXXXX. Please note that tracking information may not be available immediately.

The second one, 21st again, but later:

Spoiler

Verizon Wireless Internet Order Update ([random code])

Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for choosing Verizon Wireless, we appreciate your business. Your order has been processed and no updates can be made at this time. For more details on your order status visit our Order Status page.

Important Order Information:
Internet Order Reference Number: [10-digit number I got in confirmation email when I ordered online]
Wireless Telephone Number: XXXXXXXXXX
Shipped via: FedEx, FedEx Tracking - FedEx Shipping - FedEx Web Site
Tracking Number: XXXXXXXXXXXX

Activation Information:
When you receive your new phone, simply call our automated activation system at 877-807-4646. You may be asked for the following order information:
Location Code: [another 7-digit number]
Order Number: [7-digit sales order number but with 2 zeroes in front of it]

Even though I ordered online, I did receive a location code, as you can see. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but the first four letters are "0825" which made me think 8/25, which is the date the phone was supposed to ship by (that far-away total BS date).

I don't know why they give you an internet order reference number and tell you to check your order status with it, and then later give you a sales order number too. The IORN is useless because it's not even as updated as the status you see when you use the sales order number and location code.

Did I mention the second email also has yet another order number? It specifically says "Order Number:" and then has my sales order with two zeroes in front of it.

Anyway, my order status using the IORN did change, however. Now it says:

Your order has been processed and will be shipped based on inventory availability and shipping method. You will receive shipment notification and tracking details via email.

Order Date: 08/10/2010 (I ordered on the 9th but it was processed on the 10th)
Order Number: [10-digit number they now call an IORN]
Tracking Number: BLANK
Courier: FedEx

YES. Completely useless. Especially considering how if I use the sale order number and my location code, I actually get info:

[My phone number]

Order Number: [the 7-digit]
Tracking Number: XXXXXXXXXXXX
Courier: FEDEX

Anyway, yeah. Sorry, I know that's some crazy confusing crap. My point is that Verizon is confusing. And evil. But mostly confusing. Just figure out your sales order number and location code, and use those to check your order status.

Quintessence, that really sucks. Maybe you can see if they know your sale order number and location code? That way you could check online yourself and won't have to deal with all the uselessness. If it works out I mean

Ordered on 8/19 at 12:30 pm online. Web site showed will ship by 8/31. Verizon CSR said "you realize that won't ship until the 31st right (online chat). Later that day I noticed web site said will ship by 9/7. This is what my order status says today.

Here is the status of your order.

Due to overwhelming inventory demands, your DROID X by Motorola order will ship on 09/06/2010

No other information.

Don't pay any attention to that. I don't think anyone has had to wait until their date. Id guess between the 27th and 30th for shipping.

 

[whoowhoo1]

I sure hope not!!!

Hey Brian have you received your Droid X yet?

Don't pay any attention to that. I don't think anyone has had to wait until their date. Id guess between the 27th and 30th for shipping.

Thanks!! I ordered it on the 10th, and it processed around the 12th I think. It said it would ship by the 25th, and then yesterday I got a status update saying it would ship right on the 25th, so I didn't figure on getting it until Friday. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I checked my email this morning to see IT, my tracking info, I cried...no, not really, well, maybe a little I am excited to get this guy, I will definitely report back when that sucker comes, I may get it bronzed lol

what case and screen protectors did you choose to go with?

 

[whoowhoo1]

LOL! Well if you do decide to get it bronzed it will be well worth it LOL! Hell you might wanna get it covered in gold. Do you know what warehouse it's coming from?

[whoowhoo1]

Not to get in your conversation, but I just thought I might add that I purchased the leather case w/kickstand and the privacy screen protectors for mine.

what case and screen protectors did you choose to go with?

 

[socalrailroader]

what case and screen protectors did you choose to go with?

For Screen Protectors I got these-

SGP Steinheil ULTRA CRYSTAL Screen Protector for MOTOROLA Droid X [Verizon]

I got this TPU Case (It's a cross between a Silicon and Hard Shell)-

SMOKE PLAID CANDY SKIN CASE FOR MOTOROLA DROID X PHONE - eBay (item 300448118836 end time Sep-18-10 05:53:05 PDT)

Then I got this case to carry it all in-

Genuine Leather Case Holster for Motorola Droid X Phone - eBay (item 120610168980 end time Sep-15-10 18:06:26 PDT)

I have an iPhone 4 and have the Bodyguardz Dry Apply Body Shield on it, but I didn't see a need for them on my Droid X. Bodyguardz are awesome by the way, customer service is primo and you get two sets with each order. I tried others, like the Zagg's, but I came back to Bodyguardz.

LOL! Well if you do decide to get it bronzed it will be well worth it LOL! Hell you might wanna get it covered in gold. Do you know what warehouse it's coming from?

Lol There we go! No origin is shown yet, but I'm almost positive it will come out of the Ontario Warehouse in SoCal, that's where all my other VZ phones have come from.

 

[socalrailroader]

No worries, join on in, we're havin' a hootin' n hollerin' here

 

[whoowhoo1]

Well atleast you guys are getting your phones. That's good news because if you guys wasn't gettin' yours then that would mean it would be a longer wait for me because I ordered after you all. Anyways enjoy man.

I told Verizon if they didn't ship yours out soon, I was going to send Guido, my 350 Pound Sicilian Cousin to "convince them" Heck, I'm English, Welsh, German and French, but they know nothing lol

 

[whoowhoo1]

LOL! Thanks I appreciate that. I'm happy for you man.

Same! Mine came really fast on the 12th and it's been sitting on my desk mocking me during this whole ordeal

Anyway, also in southern California and Fedex finally updated. I got the shipping notification on the 22nd but apparently Fedex was notificed early this morning (23rd). I also got free overnight which is weird... I thought it said 2-day when I ordered. But yay ETA 24th by 3 PM.

I'm thinking... because I'm in California, I'll get the phone from Ontario because it's 1) close, and 2) stocked. That's only 40ish minutes away so I'm kinda praying hoping wishing just a little it might actually just come today on the 23rd heehee Give a girl a break Verizon

I ordered a Droid X on 8/20, and at that point the VZW web site showed an anticipated ship date of 9/6. Two days earlier the anticipated ship date was 8/31.

I see that I've already been charged for the phone even though it won't ship for two weeks, which is a little annoying.

Congrats to those who've gotten their new phones!

[whoowhoo1]

I feel your pain. My account was charged like a day after. I ordered on the 18th of August and I'm glad I did because I fell within' that 31 August "will be shipped by" date. If I would've ordered a day later I would had to wait and extra week. I see a lot of people have started to get theirs so hopefully we'll be in line very soon. Where are you located at?
