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

[Pherlonzo]

Well I just can't wait till tomorrow. SHIPPINGS BEGIN AGAIN!!!!!. Ordered mine 5/17 by phone. At that time the webisite said shipping by 6/1. I have spoken to VZW over the phone and by email and get the same result. "Your order will ship by 6/7." I hope the website is right but either way 5/15s have been getting their notice so I can't be to far away.

not to be a total downer, but I'm a 5/15 and haven't heard anything....literally

called several times and each time they've stuck to the 6/4 date....at this point I have NO reason to believe anything different, regardless of how excited I get when someone around that order date receives confirmation

I ordered mine in store, and no, the tracking number is not on the receipt. The only "tracking" information you can gain from the receipt is to try to piece together a reference number from the information on it.

I've posted the method a couple times before:



If it doesn't work, it could be one of two things:
1) It hasn't shipped yet and VZW hasn't even gotten it ready to ship, or
2) It just doesn't work. Some people's reference number hasn't followed this template. 99% have, if I had to guess. But not ALL.

Thank you! That worked... however, the jokes on me. The FedEx tracking page informed me that the package had been delivered! I signed for my husband's Brigade [which he returned] on May 24th! (Both our phones are on the same receipt so looks like I'm still playing the waiting game.)

so then I order online and my order# was 7000216### and I live in michigan so would my reference number for fedex for tracking be P175401_7000216###?? thats the only thing I can come up with, did order last week on the 26th but I just wanted to make sure I was doing the reference number right maybe the location code is different for online order?

No dice for me.

On my receipt the location is noted as: D#### 01

Immediately after is the order number at #225###

So would my tracking number be:
####01_000225###? (Obviously replacing the # with numbers)

Or would I add the D?

I've tried a few variants so I'm guessing there's just no info yet.

I ordered online on 5/15 when the promised ship by date was 6/1. I also had my number ported from another carrier, which they did the next day. So 2 weeks now with no phone. While the anticipation is killing me, I've yet to get the email, or call Verizon to check. I'm going to bite my tongue and wait today, and see what happens.

Strange. I ordered on 5/17 and asked to have a number ported from Sprint. I haven't received shipping notification and my old (current) phone still works fine.

 

[cpshaye]

WAHOO! Got our 2 about an hour ago!

Ordered 5/15 in the store.
Overnight shipping notification via email 5/28.
Received 6/1.

Currently charging and hoping I can take it to work with me in a couple of hours.

It's here! No email warning, etc. FedEx just delivered the little one; well not so little.

5/13 ordered - 6/1 delivered

yeah thats what scares me, no warning that it has been shipped no one is at home during the day, I guess I will let fedex try and deliver it then drive 45 mins to pick it up

many people are saying that the CSR's don't really know when stuff is going to be shipped for certain but i ordered by incredible on 5/28 and called verizon today. the rep told me that the phone was shipping today and i'd have it in my hands no later than thursday, 6/3.

That is almost immediate shipping, considering the holiday this past weekend. I wouldn't put too much faith in what the CSR said.

Well I hope your right! I ordered on 5/18, and if that's the case then mine should be here tomorrow. lol

No, if that were the case, you phone would have been sitting on your porch for a week and a half!

It was strange. I received a text on my old phone, saying Verizon was having difficulty porting my number, and it would be resolved soon. After that I couldn't use my phone at all. The old company said there was nothing they could do, and that Verizon would likely soon resolve it. At the same time, I didn't want to risk issues with the new phone, so just blew it off.

Go to best buy.... They have plenty in stock people

Ugh, again with BB. Maybe the Best Buy around you has plenty in stock. Not everyone has a BB near them, nor do they ALL have plenty in stock.
As stated before many people don't want to pay out twice, have to refuse shipment, then wait for their account to be credit.

Not to mention, not everyone CAN order from BB - aside from our family plan's corporate discount, which is only honored in VZ locations, I was not eligible for the contract renewal price until the 19th, unless i ordered over the phone (they could bump the date forward by a month).

Also, keep in mind that BB will NOT honor the NE2 discount, so you will pay more for the phone there than at VZ...

I saw on here that someone had luck doing their NE2, but I did not. The BB around here gives the rebate instantly, but that's about it. We have a corp discount as well, and can only get the discount on the phone if we ordered it online or instore.

 

[edbro]

What is "NE2"? I get a corp discount (18%) but not on hardware. I had to pay the full $199 plus activation.

 

[glap1922]

BAH! My tracking (Ordered 5/15) said it would arrive on 6/2/10, but I just checked and they tried to deliver it today! I wish I would have known, I would have left a note!

Don't believe it. Maybe where you are but not in Northern NJ or Eastern Penn. I have checked many. The ones that show stock online are already sold to pre-order customers. Sucks they show in stock online but are in fact already sold. Call first! Ordered mine instore 5/21. No news yet. CSR said ship on 6/10.

NE2 = New every two. You get a hundred dollar credit for being a loyal paying customer for 2 years.
