So here is my story, I have a Droid1 and while at the zoo the camera stopped working. So I called Verizon and decided to get the X upgraded instead with a discount. So me being sly and not knowing about the back order gave them my hotel address and she promised me it would be there within 3 days (this was Tuesday of last week). So obviously it didn't come because of the back order but now comes the real pain in my butt part of this story.
So I called Verizon and they say they can't change the address until the package actually ships. Doesn't that sound stupid? Basically what you are telling me is that instead of changing the address before it ships you are now going to ship it knowingly to the wrong place and THEN make FedEx change it. So anyway, the phone finally shipped and I called Verizon again and had the package re-routed to my real address in Illinois. They said no later than the original delivery date which is the 29th. I was like wow that's pretty cool and let it go.
So I have been checking the FedEx site this whole time for updates because I'm growing more and more impatient to get my X. This morning, (The date it's supposedly going to be at my house) it arrived in Nashville. So I called them and the person on the phone says yea it will be delivered today. This guy is obviously not a smart person because there is no way I am getting this phone today if it arrived in Nashville this morning. I know anything is possible, but if this thing arrives today I'll eat crow I guess.
Anyway, I know the X will get here eventually and I'm not really that upset about it. The whole thing is I am really disappointed with Verizon (for not telling me the X was on back order) and letting me ship it to a hotel address. I almost as disappointed with FedEx for not rerouting the phone when they got the call instead of waiting till it got all the way to Nashville to reroute it....I'm assuming they are actually rerouting it and not delivering it to the Hotel I stayed at.
