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

Ordered Date: June 6th via Verizon Store
Promised Ship date: June 28th
Ship date: Not available yet
Breath holding ability: Good through July 4th, then will have to take a breath

Well, I have been lurking here since the 6th and it sure has been quite amusing and entertaining. Congrats to those whom have received their Dincs!

I started calling #611 this past Friday the 25th just to see whether my phone was one of the lucky ones to escape the island (Lost reference for those who don't get it). I was greated by a very polite fellow who insisted that my phone was still scheduled to be shipped on Monday, the 28th.

I called again, yesterday the 28th around 2:00 pm and spoke with another polite CSR person who told me that she did not see where my phone had been shipped yet but she told me that when she got a tracking number she would text me. LOL... like I was actually going to get a text from her.

So, I just off the phone with CSR TAMIKA :p who informed me that my phone hadn't been shipped yet and that she couldn't tell me when it might ship. :cool: I proceeded to use all the useful information that I got from this message board to see whether I could get some kind of reimbursement for my wait. She said that I should call my local Verizon store to see if they could give me more information about my shipment. :D:D:D I broke out into a very loud laugh and she asked what was so funny. :rolleyes: I said you are because they have access to the same info that you just told me and all you want me to do is get off the phone with you. All you did was pass the buck. What kind of CSR are you? She put me on hold and came back on about 15 minutes later. Told me that she just spoke with her supervisor and if I wanted to cancel my order I could get the new Moto X that will be coming out mid-July! :D:D:D I again laughed and said that if I wanted to wait that long why would I have ordered the phone back on June 6th? :rolleyes: Well, she said "we don't make the phones so if you want to call HTC I can give you their phone number". :confused: Look Tamika, all i want is a date that my phone might ship. If you don't know, then tell me you don't know! Don't try and get me to buy another phone so I have to wait another 2-3 weeks!

She asked me, well what would you like me to do for you? :p I said, "GET MY PHONE SHIPPED OUT! I thought I was pretty clear on that issue." ;);););) Actually at this point I was just having fun with her just to see how she reacted! She told me that since they "Just started taking orders for the Dinc on June 5th, and with me ordering it on the 2nd day, June 6th I would think you should be getting it soon". I asked her, :eek: "So they just started to sell this phone on June 5th, boy I was lucky I got my order in so early. I pitty those who are ordering right now!" :p FYI, Tamika, this phone has been available for a few months I believe, so I think you need to get more information before you make yourself look more stupid than you already sound. Actually, Tamika, you are worthless to me so I think I am going to call back and speak with someone who won't BS me!"

Her reply, "Thanks for calling Verizon!" :confused::confused::confused:

I would be embarrased to have people like this be my CSR! So, in the end what information did I get, not a whole heck of alot other that I could cancel and wait for the X! LOL

Rude much? It's not her fault that the phone hasn't shipped!
 
Ordered via CSR: 6/4
Scheduled ship date: 6/25
Actual ship date: 6/29
Delivery date: 7/1

This will actually be my second replacement. They will give me an additional 15 days after I activate this phone to decide if I want to keep it. Had my original since the day it came out.
 
It's nice to see that Verizon is being Consistant with their Inconsistencies. Kudos for that big "V".

The gang that couldn't shoot straight.
 
Just thought I'd say hello...

I am a 6/13 order and I just keep checking and checking for my email to arrive stating that my Dinc has shipped.

Guess I'll just have to keep waiting like all of you fine folk. :)

Congrats to all those I see got their phones today...maybe the next two weeks will just fly right on by. *fingers crossed*
 
Baby - congrats on the delivery! When did you order again???? Also, would it be great to take on last picture with you blackberry....a picture of the Dinc that is. Then bury that dinosaur and never look back! For me, I don't even have a camera on my 8830. It will be skipped across the lake sometime during the 4th of July weekend. I'll try and record it for all of you BB users who are swithching.

And for good note, I'm still waiting on my 6/4 order.:eek:

I ordered 6/3 on their website. That is a fitting end to the blackberry. And as much as I would love to skip it across water I think I'm going to search back through the thread and find the link that Mastermind (I think it was him) put up regarding donating phones for abused women.

:eek::eek::eek: Rude??? I wasn't rude to her! I didn't even raise my voice in anger with her! I just thought, what an inept CSR and I wouldn't want someone like that working for me! I asked a simple question which she danced around and asked if I wanted to switch to another phone so I would have to wait additional time? CSR's should say I DON'T KNOW AND I WILL GET SOMEONE WHO DOES! They shouldn't BS us!

I agree with you TheyThink - she is the one who is supposed to be nice regardless of what you do or say. I try to always be polite to CSR's since I know its not their fault BUT when you take a job as CSR you know you're gonna take sh*t from someone, at some point.
 
Just called verizon, I'm a 6/14er and they told me it would be shipped 7/12 and I would receive it the 7/14. Aahh! but I asked about why they are so backed ordered (since I heard the rumors) and they told me it was because well. simply they were sold out.:p:p

Two years ago, when I got my new phone, all Radio Shack stores had a bin for collecting phones for victims of DV. I'm fairly certain I saw one at the VZW store the other day as well.

I remember seeing that post but haven't a clue where along the line it was.
Just did a search and found this: Cell Phones for Life, Inc :: Ardmore, OK 73401 :: 580.226.5652 :: 1.800.585.5503 :: Together we can make a difference!!

Was this it?
