I just got the shipping email from Verizon!

For iDroid, the status on the website is still showing that payment did not go through.

Lucianah

Congrats. As I am also in Houston and placed my order around the same time as you, maybe I'll get mine soon too :smileywink:

Dear Valued Customer,

Your order has been completed and is in the process of being shipped to you. You are no longer able to make any changes to this order. For more details on your order status visit www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/orderstatus/OrderStatusForm

Important Order Information:
Internet Order Reference Number: .....

The tracking doesn't work yet but I now can call back to fix the shipping address issues that I had when placing the order...

FYI: There are plenty of threads, one of which you opened, that you could've posted this info in instead of posting a new thread.

Nice. Placed mine at 2:57AM EST (11:57PM PST), so hopefully I'll get my e-mail soon too. I've been checking the order status every so often and checking the Pending Charges link on my Amex. Can't wait for it to get here.

MarkAllan22

Now to be looking at my Droid X and see if it blinks green for an email as I work. Watch every stupid email come in now and trick me. :smileytongue:

Thank you for taking it upon yourself to play message board police. I felt it important to post a new thread that the emails have started going out rather than burying that fact in the bottom of the older thread. If someone else had posted a new thread, I would have appreciated that fact. But, thanks for playing, tdelong.

The funny thing is that the email you received is the same exact email everyone else received after pre-ordering. They all say "your order is being processed to ship". Which if I'm not mistaken, is already shared in other threads. So no, thank you for taking it upon yourself to play the 'clutter the forum with pointless/repetitive info' game. Keep it up and you'll have the high score!

GEEZ! People are seriously high strung lately, I appreciate your post!!

The email she pasted is not one I have received yet. Hers says the order is completed. The pre-order email is simply an order confirmation.

Are you using your order number to check status or your preorder confirmation number? Just curious. When I use my order number, nothing comes up.

Iphoneguy

I am using the preorder number and up untill 10 mins ago in said in processing and expected ship date 10/14 now it says courier notes will b delivered on 10/14

Did you also get an email?

Iphoneguy

and there is a place for tracking number i guess it will show up soon

drivebylake

Verizon just charged my credit card. I have no email from verizon though, just the original from the morning I ordered the iphone. My order number was in the 22000's. I ordered it from Verizon online at about 2:10am central time. Fingers crossed it arrives Friday.

Update!

This is my order status on verizon now:

Tracking Number:

Courier :

Status:

Your pre-order will deliver by 10/14/2011
Ship Date:

it's looking good!

kab430s

Same here status update with Arrival of 10/14 but not courier/ship date/ or tracking# listed. I'm excited and can't wait. :smileyhappy: No email yet from Verizon but this is just the update I received when checking on the order status page.

I just got off of the phone with a CSA at Verizon Wireless and she told me that all iPhone 4S phones will not be delivered until 10/21, because they supposedly will not get them until then. I told her that people here have said that they got confirmation codes, but she said it didn't matter that everyone won't get them until the 21st.

I am not sure what that was all about. I have heard nothing out of Apple about a week long delay. I have a feeling that is what they are telling people now or something.

You had me at CSA. They don't know anything. They are mindless drones. It makes no sense that they would start charging bank accounts if they were not shipping. But you probably still just made several people soil themselves.

iDroid probably just had a stroke. :smileyhappy:

I'm sure you spoke to Level 1 support. Only half of them know anything and half of that half know some things, but still don't know what they're talking about. I've worked Level 1 support before, and you have to take everything they say with a grain of salt. Who knows if Verizon is even shipping them directly to us? They could be drop shopped from the factories in China like Apple is doing. In fact, this is likely. And another question, how would they sell any phones on launch date if they didn't have the phones until a week after release date? It is very possible they aren't getting the phones until this Thursday and then overnighting them, but then I would think it strange they're charging credit cards today.

Basically, most Level 1 Customer and Techical Support "technicians" (I use that term lightly) do no know what they are talking about. They read from a screen with step-by step processes. If they don't know the answer, they will often lie.

bmt626

this is also wrong if your you check your order status and it says 14th have faith i just got off phone with customer care and i was told it would be recieved by the 14th. i was worried there was a problem because i checked my order status and it said there was a technical problem with my order and to contact support so i did.

if you order your phone late friday 10/7 or later you may very well be waiting but i would go off of what your conformation email / order status if it says the 14th go with that

If you would look back I was the first one to post a screen shot of the new order update and after that everyones mood went from :smileysad: to :smileyhappy: so i am doing fine nice try though. They just told you that so you wouldnt get all pist off and curse verizon thinking all shipments have been pushed back. My card has been charged and i have a updated order status of 10/14 delivery they would not bill your card if it wasnt shipping!

I know that - I was just kidding. Trying to lighten things up now that we've all got the process started for shipment.

BRANDyWITHANi

I decided to check my order status one more time before i left work (after checking all day) and i recieved an updated screen with a courier note to say your pre-order will be delivered on October 14 2011. No tracking number or shipping date was included though. No emails either. After reading this thread and seeing several people say that their account has been charged I checked mine and lo and behold my account had been charged for one of the iphones i pre ordered.

i ordered my iphone at approx. 3.15 am and didnt recieve a confirmation email until about 3.38am. I ordered a second for my mom and recieved a confirmation email almost immediately around 11.18 am.

I called a rep the day the phones were available to pre-order because i was freaking out that my card hadnt been charged (im new to this pre order process). He informed me that the phones would not be charged to my accound until they have shipped.

I called again today because i was freaking out, i heard that the delivery date got pushed back to the 21st. The first idiot apparently didnt understand my question so i hung up and called back...the second guy informed me that any phones ordred between 3:01 am and 5:59 am would be delievered on the 14th; any phones ordred 6 am and thereafter would have their delievery dates pushed back

not sure how true it is, but one phone was ordered at 3am (mine) and my account has been charged..the phone i ordred for my mom was ordered at 11 and there has been no update...

If I don't get a shipping confirmation before Thursday I may just go very early to a VZW store and wait in line. I am sure they will have some in stock in the store, which will infuriate me that they won't fulfill a pre-order but have them in stock at a store.

hopefully a box doesn't show up in the mail while you're waiting online. if your order status says the 14th, you should be fine, if it says the 21st, you may still get lucky. what sucks is that Verizon is notorious for not sending shipping confirmations until after phones arrive. Plus the upgrades seem to be locked now, even if you haven't activated the new phone. When I log into My Verizon and look at upgrades, it says that I have used my upgrade and my phone is awaiting to be activated. If you don't have another upgrade, you may end up having to pay full retail to get it release date.

Well...if you go early and are one of the 1st ones in line wouldn't you expect the store to have one? I get what you're saying about being upset if you could have just skipped pre-order and stood in line, but if they have announced that the devices will be available in store on Friday would you expect them not to have them in store at all? Not everyone was able to pre-order so I'm sure there will be someone waiting in line at the store based off of the announcement that you could get one (barring them selling out before you make it to the counter). At any rate, hopefully, one of the 2 will happen (you get the shipping confirm that you want or you get to pick it up in store).

I had checked my upgrade status yesterday and it was still showing that I was eligible for the upgrade and now it is saying that I can't upgrade, because I ordered a new phone. Firgures.

I have waited for the iPhone to come to VZW and then I waited when the 4 came, because I knew a new one would come out soon. I am bummed that I have to wait a week longer than I had anticipated. I can't stand my Droid phone and can't wait to dump it. Oh well. Patience... :-/

My debit card was charged tonight so I imagine that I will be getting a shipment confirmation soon and it will arrive on the 14th. :smileyhappy:

jayrockslife

Mine was charged tonight as well.

Hopefully Verizon decides to send the shipment info e-mail soon.

Kenskid

My card was charged about noon today. My status updated to "deliver by the 14th" however, 12 hours later I did not get an email. I'm expecting phone in the next three days.

:smileyvery-happy:

jose18

thast sucks verizon is doing bad service my phone my order was cancel bcs they make mistake on the payment so today 11 -----4 days ago now they check the order they say is ok but my phone will arrive on the 21 i told i want my phone the 14 they say they can bcs apple don't have those phones they need to make those so who is playing

ronmac3

Got my UPS tracking number at 0536 EST this morning. Mine was a black 16g.

ibecowtippin

I ordered three phones, two white 16 GB, one black 16 gb.

Received two email from Verizon this morning for the two white phones, with UPS tracking numbers at 6.23 EDT. Still waiting for the black phone confirmation, but not worried. For my order, at least, the white ones are being sent out first.

No details on the tracking information at this time as the numbers have just been assigned.

alp35360

Gotta get the whining out of my system. Ordered 16gb 4s on the 7th at 3:15 am and my status really hasn't changed. Still shows "Your pre-order will deliver by 10/14". CC hasn't been charged and no emails from VZW. Going to give it a little longer & then call to see what's going on. Impatience is a "you know what".

flx

If your order status says it will deliver by the 14th then, based on everything i've read, you should get it then. I preordered 16gb Black at around 9:40AM EST on Friday the 7th. My order status still it will "ship by the 14th".

Yeah, just a little nervous seeing as there are people already getting shipping numbers. My GF ordered one from ATT, late on Friday and over the weekend, already had a shiiping confirmation from ATT stating it had been shipped to their warehouse. So seems like ATT were maybe better stocked.

joannsford

I ordered my phone on Monday afternoon. Got my tracking number later that day. It didnt work at first but I checked late last night and it had been sent! The weird thing is my debit card has still not been charged, and when I check the status on Verizons site nothing has changed. It says its processing and that the estimated ship date is not until the 21st. Also its a USPS tracking number. It seems like everyone else I read about is FedEx and UPS.

[image removed as being too wide for forum post]

nestadave

I was originally told it was going to ship Fed Ex. This morning I received an email notifying me that it shipped and gave me a UPS tracking number. I keep trying to enter the UPS tracking number and it still says UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Please verify your information and try again later.

ClemsonAlumni

joannsford, I am not sure why you would receive such an e-mail. There have been a lot of people stating that they are getting e-mails from USPS about their shipping info on their iPhone 4S. All I can tell you is one of two things. Did you order an accessory? If so, that may be where it is coming from, and that could be that shipment right there. If not, then you could have gotten something like a ghost order, and it could be false information, especially if you were told that your shipment would come on the 21st.

joannsford

I didnt order any accessoried. And when I talked to a VZ representative, she said that my order was scheduled to deliver on the 14th. It is all very unorganized and confusing and I guess I will just have to wait and see.

But when I track my package via USPS, it has left Fontana CA last night to San Bernadino. This morning it left San Bernadino. So Obviously something is being delivered to me from Verizon I only ordered the phone itself.

SoulBassist23

Hi all! I was wondering if anyone can help me with this little problem I have. So I pre-ordered the iPhone 4s real early on Friday 10/7 around, I'll say 12:20 AM. Then I got a e-mail saying "Your Order Confirmation" at 12:58AM saying: "You will receive notification once it has shipped. Thank you for your order. It is being processed and will be shipped to arrive on 10/14/11." The e-mail came with my pre-order confirmation number, location number, and order number (~57000). My order status online at this time was saying that the 4S would be expected to ship by 10/14, but then a couple of days later the status changed to 10/21, then it changed back to 10/14. When I checked the order status again a day later, it switched to 10/21 again! Now my order status says: We received your order and it is in process. Payment not taken yet. Expected Ship Date: 10/21/201...

And yesterday (10/11...11:53PM) I got an e-mail from Verizon titled: Very Important Information About Your Verizon Wireless Order. The e-mail said the following: Your Order is on Hold Your order is scheduled to be processed. Average processing time is 3 days. You will receive a confirmation email when processing is complete and your device has shipped.

But the order date says 10/11/11....**bleep**!!!

What the heck does all this mean?! I am a very confused customer =( I don't know what to do, should I call Verizon? When should my phone ship out to me?

I appreciate any help, thank you

alp35360

Finally rec'd my shipping confirmation email with tracking number. Looks like it's all go for Friday delivery (via UPS)!

flx

I havent got a shipping email but my order status just changed and says it will deliver by the 14th. No info on which courior or tracking number, but thats not an issue.

Info to help other predict:

Preordered around 9:40am EST 16gb black

Being shipped to the north east coast usa

Only emails from verizon was the initial order confirmation saying it would deliver on the 14th

Until the past hour or so the order status said it would ship the 14th...now its updated to be delivered on the 14th.

denzilkhine

Just got mine tracking number. Pre-ordered on 7th, around noon.

grmo

I got my shipping confirmation email today aswell!! It was picked up in West Chester, pa...I'm hoping I get it tomorrow as west Chester is not far from me at all.

rls7709

I finally received my e-mail confirmation. Its shipping via UPS. Doesn't show any tracking info yet. Verizon's email says it shipped on 10.11.12. I highly doubt that since UPS tracking doesn't show any info yet.

aigvccbruce

No shipping email as of 6:20 EST but my credit card was charged today by Verizon for my order total.

Ansky26WS

I just received my tracking number, iPhone will be shipped via Fedex 2 Day service (currently with Fedex in West Chester PA) scheduled to be delivered before 4:30pm 10/14/11 being delivered to Central NJ.

Below is my post from yesterday 10/11/11 2:30pm EDT

Credit Card was just charged, ordered a 32 GB Black iPhone 4S
Pre order placed at 1:30 pm EDT 10/07/11
Order number was in the high 80,000's

No email from Verizon yet but "order status" on verizon tracking page has been updated recently.
No courier, status, or ship date info yet.

I spoke with really good, knowledgable csr a few hours ago to confirm my shipping address issues. I asked if I'd get a revised shipping/tracking email. She said that all tracking emails should go out by overnight tonight. I did already get my updated one, too.

hmb1102

I have my UPS tracking info but it says "A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated." I got the email with the tracking info at 1:23. Anyone else with theirs coming UPS have the same problem?

Yeah, I also have that same message on the UPS tracking screen. I don't think it is much to worry about though. If you look at it this way, they are 2-day shipping it to us, and it says it was shipped on 10-12-11. So if you put two and two together (literally), then that would mean the delivery date is the 14th, or Friday in this case. So don't be alarmed. Tomorrow morning when you go to school or work just check on the status then, and see what you find, hopefully it will state that it will be delivered by the 14th! :smileyhappy:

SoulBassist23

Well I just got an e-mail from Verizon including the shipment notification. I'm happy to say that my iPhone 4S will be at my doorstep by 7p.m. Friday :smileyvery-happy: Thank you all!

It means UPS didn't pick up the package yet. It will start moving tomorrow picked up,sort facility,then truck for next day delivery by 3pm

SoulBassist23

Hahaha Thank you Smitty!! Thats exactly how I feel at the moment! The 4S will be my first smartphone, after upgrading from my shoddy EnV 3 after 2 years + so I can't wait!

Looks like FedEx has made multiple pick ups in West Chester. Mine was picked up at 12:51 PM. Makes sense though. There's def going to be a lot of volume.

So frustrated...I pre-ordered on October 7 @ 7am but have not received my tracking number yet; however, the status screen has changed to read:

Courier :
Status:

Your pre-order will deliver by 10/14/2011

Ship Date:

I guess that's a good thing right? I really want my iPhone by Friday, if not I would not have pre-ordered.

You should get your shipping confirmation w/tracking number anytime now. I bet you get your phone on Friday.

Kenskid

Hello Melisa,

You ordered yours about 4 hours after I ordered mine. Mine is on the way after saying it would arrive by the 14th. Has your credit card been charged? That is the key. They will not charge the card until the phone is boxed and being shipped. So once your card is charged, you should get a shipping email soon after that.

scorpio11

I never got a tracking email from Verizon but I have been checking my order on Verizon all day and it finally shows tracking info. from FedEx. Picked up in Memphis, TN this afternoon and now showing in transit from Memphis, TN. Estimated delivery date 10/14. I am keeping my fingers crossed that maybe it will show up tomorrow. My first iPhone and I cannot wait!

Hello Kenskid:

Yes, my card was charged today at about 1pm; but still no shipping e-mail :smileysad:

Thank you for the hopeful words smitty! :smileyvery-happy:

I got my shipment confirmation today along with tracking. It will be here before 7:00p on Friday. So looking forward to dumping this Droid phone and getting a phone that "just works".

I woke up this morning to find out that my phones shipped last night - They are currently in transit to Houston from Memphis, TN. I can't wait . . .

Mine just went from outside Philly to Newark, it's inching ever closer lol.

alp35360

UPS has mine leaving Louisville, KY for delivery tomorrow! Yeah!! Bye, bye Blackberry!

Carlette123

I ordered at 9:30 AM on 10/7 after Verizon screwed up my first order and had to cancel it! I still have not received any tracking info. When I call customer service and check the status, the automated system says it's been shipped and scheduled to be delivered in 2 business days (it's said that for days now). When I called the CSR rep yesterday evening, she said it hasn't been shipped and wont be shipped until 10/14 so I should get it Monday or Tuesday. I live in Pottstown, PA and apparently there is a large distro coming from West Chester, PA so why shouldn't I get mine tomorrow?!? If I had known this, I would have just waited and gone to the VZ store! :smileysad:

Ordered a Black 32GB on the morning of 10/8. Order confirmation said delivery date of 10/21. Bummer! Card was charged on 10/12. Talked to 3-4 clueless Verizon reps in the last 12 hours - what a waste of time! I just now got my shipping confirmation email for FedEx delivery tomorrow. (I live in western WA.) Woohoo!!!

Seiter2011

Ordered a white - 16 on 10/08 and I just got a shipping email at 1:21pm today.

Does anyone know what "order location : N215501" means?

that a label was made and is being sent ups air I just got the email and my account was charged yesterday what are the odds I get it tomorrow?

Interrobang

Very frustrating to see people who ordered on 10/8 getting shipping confirmation emails. I ordered on 10/7 and am getting nothing.
