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

Anyone else spend time since they ordered at your local Verizon store playing with the demo version?... yeah, I'm that hard up for it!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

I'm going to dinner tonight right next to the store. I'm probably going to go in now. On the upside... if you do it a bunch, that's just creepy enough to motivate them to put you at the top of the list.

Someone somewhere in Verizon has the ability to move a name up on that list. Do we have any geek-friends who might work in systems there?
 
Well, it is true that amazon has them (or at least is showing them) in stock right now. Sadly.

That being said, Amazon does not appear to allow one year contract extensions, so ... I'll just have to wait until my 6/3 order (promised to ship by 6/24 <sob>) actually ships.

You take at least 15 minutes a day out trying to figure out a way your phone ships today based on unknown math and the ship dates in this thread. 4. You know the first 34 apps you are going to download. You have a list of another 36 that are "maybe" 3. You have a relative that has googled "DInc Anonymous". 2.

You check your email 10 times an hour hoping for the shipping notice, and your order date was yesterday!
 
I just want a sign, y'know? A sign that tells me that it's coming in the next few days and coincidentally has a fedex logo in the corner. I just want a sign!
 
My heart skipped a beat when an eMail from Verizon came in just now.

It was just my stupid bill.

**sigh**

I ended up ordering an Eris for my wife as I waited for my DI to ship and I got the shipping notice for it as expected and BAM, 4 hours later, a second shipping notice!!!!!! WOOHOOOOOOOOOO....... wait, better check order numbers........... they are DIFFERENT!!!!!!!!........ SHAZAM!!!!!!!!!.......... so I go to track both of them....... SAME TRACKING NUMBER.....................

Same Order

NOT DI

:(

For those who didn't get email notification, be thankful you didnt get a FALSE one!!! Thanks Verizon for the skipped heart beat and then the missile to the groin.
 
5/21 order here. Finally after talking to Verizon numerous times and impatiently watching this tread I have been promised that it will arrive today.

Shipping out of Memphis to Huntsville, AL

There is only one problem. I live in California. Its getting shipped to my parents house since taxes out here were gonna make it 60 or so dollars more expensive. At the time it seemed like such a good idea. So still a few more days for me. What was I thinking? I take a board exam on Saturday and was hoping that it would be here by then so I would have something fun to play with after all this miserable months of studying. Oh well hopefully they can get it out here by early next week.
 
Ordered mine 5/31, today is 6/10 said shipped by 6/22 still havent got an email yet. I just checked to see when its backordered now till, said 7/8. Thats unreal. Looks like everyone is getting thiers pretty early so hopefully I get mine in the next 5 days :-)
 
I just wanna let you guys know I got my phone monday and never got a shipping notification. I just followed when other people were getting their phones with my same ship date and it happened to arrive right on time!
 
I ordered mine from a VZW Store on Friday May 21st* 19:09EDT and my ship by date was Friday June 11th. It was shipped Monday June 7th and it arrived Wednesday June 9th via FedEx. VZW customer support wasn't a lot of help other than giving me the ship by date until it shipped. Then they were able to give me the tracking number and track it for me. They didn't know it would ship Monday until after it had shipped.

*Corrected from 28th

Wow! They're up to a month back order from just the 3 weeks - that's insane!!!! Glad I jumped up and ordered when I did - now I just have 2 more weeks of endless waiting and stalking the verizon store

Nice if you got yours on the 9th, I should be getting mine the 12th-ish. Since I ordered 3 days after you. Hopefully, I go on vaction on the 15th, so anytime before that would be great, or my neighbor will be having fun with it :-)

You ordered on the 28th and you already have it?

Thanks, now I'll be check my email every 2 minutes. I am a 5/28 (AM) online with next day shipping. I was resigned to a ship date sometime next week but now I can dream of earlier!

I was down to once very 20 mins too.... time to call my sponsor!

Are you sure you went in on the 28th? By the 26th the in-store ship date was the 16th... so I don't know how some stores would have different ship dates.

Typing that was probably a waste of time though. He's gone to a better place. LOL.

Troll much?


I ordered mine on the 28th at around 8am processed same day with a ship by date of 6/18, Later on that day the ship by was bumped from 6/18 to 6/22 so I find it hard to believe your tale.

I love how today is totally stagnant. Thursdays need love too, Verizon! Give me my 5/24!
I never got a shipping notification. Last night, my status on the website was "processing." At 5:30 this morning, it was "shipped," but with a blank tracking number. I called CS and got my tracking number. Punched it into FedEx and found that it shipped yesterday morning.

Bottom line: Things may be happening, especially for the 5/24 and 5/25 folks who are waiting. Call *611 - your first clue is a pre-recorded message stating that their records show you have a phone that's awaiting activation. Ask the rep on the phone for an update on your order.
