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

Ordered 5/17, on truck for delivery today.

Can anybody tell me how refusing delivery works? Will Verizon charge a restocking fee? Will they just automatically refund my money when they receive it back?

I ordered a second Inc from Amazon. It was $66 cheaper when taking tax into acct.

I ordered on the Verizon site on the morning of 5/19, but it was processed on the 20th. The Verizon site at the time stated that the Incredible was going to be shipped by 6/9. I still did not receive a shipping notification email from Verizon. I've also kept checking my order number on the Verizon site, and it still 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."

Since there are some 5/19 orders that are being shipped today, I just talked to a Verizon representative about upgrading my shipping from 2-day to overnight. She said that if she did that, she would have to cancel my order and place another one. I told her to leave it as it is. Since I waited over two weeks for my order, I don't want to wait for another two or three weeks to receive it. She still told me that it will be shipped by 6/9. Since I didn't hear anything yet, it looks like I won't have the phone until Monday (6/7) at the earliest. This thread has been very helpful to determine approx. when my order is going to arrive.

I can't wait for this phone! I already have over 20 apps lined up from appbrain.com that are prepared to be downloaded on my Incredible when it arrives (Go to AppBrain for your apps before you get your phone; it's amazing!).

I live in northwest Tennessee, so hopefully I will hear from the FedEx facility in Memphis soon.

Good luck everyone! I'll keep you posted! :)

Update: I just received an email from Verizon at 10:22am (Central) this morning that my order has been shipped! I ordered from the Verizon website on the morning of 5/19, but it was processed on 5/20. FedEx is shipping (2-day shipping) from Memphis and will arrive at my destination (in NW Tennessee) by 7pm on Tuesday (5/8)! Since it shipped out, I'm still hoping that it will arrive on Monday (5/7).

Finally! This phone will be mine in a few days! Good luck to everyone else that ordered! :)
 
Ordered 5/19... a CSR told me it had shipped on 5/25 (which I knew was bogus)
I just received Shipping confirmation about 10 minutes ago. But will be refusing the package. I did not want to wait around for VZW, so I bought my Dinc from Best buy 10 days ago.

Update:
Picked up
ONTARIO, CA

Two separate VZW CSRs and a Best Buy employee (who is a former VZW CSR) told me if I refuse the package they cannot charge a restocking fee... That is my plan.
 
Looks like I am in the long wait game, most of yall have already delt with. Just ordered my Droid Increcredible moments ago through wirefly.com. Has anyone else ordered the phone through them?
 
So I ordered over the phone 5/24 and have been waiting for what feels like forever,fedex just came with a package from Verizon...I'm like no way is it here this early and with no email notification to boot. I tear it open super excited, and its a Samsung eternity...I'm like wtf, look at the package. Its my neighbors phone. What a dirty trick...grrrr, back to waiting.
 
I've been checking this thread to see if the wait time has gone down, but it doesn't seem like it has.

Looks like the average has been 15 days between ordering and getting a shipment notification.
 
Woo-hoo! Just got my shipping notification. Ordered 5/20, shipped out today from West Chester, PA, and will arrive in Philly Monday (expected ship date had shown 6/10 when ordering). I'm off that day. Isn't that nice?

woohoo! first 5/20? very nice! my turn please... :)
 
Been lurking for a while, just got my shipping confirmation.

Ordered: 5/20 on the phone with Verizon
Shipped: Today, June 4
Arriving: Monday, June 7 in NJ

Sigh, I paid extra for overnight shipping because the original ship by date they gave was a Thursday, and I didn't want to wait the whole weekend. Sucks that Fedex isn't delivering it on Saturday.

I don't think the wait time has gone down either. If anything, for those of us in the Pacific Northwest, it seems to be a day or two longer than those that live in the east or even in California. Today is day #16 for me. :( Seems we are always the last to get anything out here...

Ordered: May 19 in a store
Ship date per CSR: June 9
Area: Western Oregon
Confirmation: None yet
 
Add me to the list of 5/20's that has shipped. Just got my email right now.

Shipped: 6/4 I guess I got standard overnight shipping (Figures Friday)
Delivery: 6/7 by 3pm

Shipped out of Coatesville, PA
 
I am a 5/22er so the 5/20's are getting me excited

Ordered online 5/22
Ship date when ordered 6/11
No notification yet
Shipping to Fresno CA

Hoping to hear something by Monday :)

(edited to update shipping to city)
 
Was calling VZW to find out what is going on with my order, since I cannot get any information on the VZ website or FedEx, and then received the shipping notification Email. That is the good news, the not so good is that I won't have my phone for this weekend.

Order date: 5/19
Ordered at corporate store
Shipped on 6/4
Delivery 6/8 by 7:00 pm
2nd day - Indirect signature required
San Diego, CA

Guess I will take my medication and relax for one more weekend...

It should be anytime now! Good luck to you. I'm nervous that I'll get my shipment notification right before the weekend and instead of playing with it all day Sat & Sun, I'll be waiting in even more anticipation to get it the following Mon.
 
Wooo!!! Just called 611, and the first thing that the auto system said is that there is a pending activation.. so, it shipped!

I talked to the agent, and got my tracking info:

Ship date
Jun 4, 2010

Estimated delivery
Jun 8, 2010 by 7:00 PM

To Albuquerque, NM
WOOOOOO!


BTW - i have received no email or other notice, so for all those 18-19 orders, be sure to give CS a call and see what they say.

Hmm, I'm gonna have to track order, if it makes it to my State facility by today I may look into that.
 
Let me throw a bit of "red" into this mix as well...

In the spirit of the tragedy going on in the gulf let us all check our "blowout preventors" (read: mouth diarrhea preventors) and ensure they are working because i don't want to hear any more hate, bickering, inflammatory comments, inappropriate language, etc... Play nice or go find another sandbox.

The mods are doing their absolute best to keep this whole forum in the general interest of the overall community and any decisions they make are in the spirit of that goal; satisfying the overwhelming majority interest vs. meeting the needs of an annoying and vocal minority.

Most of you should be thankful to Steven58 for his efforts to keep this thread stickied (even though it doesn't meet any criteria for a stickied thread) because that's what YOU ALL wanted...he's truly a Guide "of the people" so when i see hate towards him it really bothers me.

Keep contributing, collaborating, sharing, talking, etc... but please leave out all the stuff that adds no value or the thread will be closed and problematic individuals addressed with swift justice.

Cheers!

P.S. Also, i already have an Incredible! Na na na na bo bo! (and i don't think it's that great...flame suit on...but not on the thread please!)
 
ordered 5/21, just checked with VZW customer service, they said the phone would ship out BY 6/8 (Tuesday) at the latest, based on my order date. Additionally, I asked if they could make any restitution because the phone has been backordered so long and they applied a $30 credit to my next bill. So if you complain, they are listening. Hope to have my phone soon!
 
sorry if this was asked before but this thread so long.

will i receive a UPS shipping notification email if I ordered the phone in a Verizon store?

thanks
