I recently ordered a Droid X from VZ.com. Its says it will be shipped by 8/31. Does that mean it will be shipped ON that date or can i expect to get it sooner? The wait is killing me!
It is all dependent on stock and when they get shipments. But I can tell you that I ordered mine on 7/30 with a ship by date of 8/11 and I received my phone on 8/10. It seems they are shipping out earlier, but Verizon is being cautious in the ship by dates they are giving. Understandably so since the phone has been so popular.
You will receive an e-mail when they ship your phone out with a tracking number from Fed Ex, so you can stalk Fed Ex online until your phone arrives.
Just an FYI ... calling customer service to ask the status of your order between now and the time it ships is a waste of your time. They don't know have any extra information to give you. They look at your account status and will see the same thing you know: it's ordered with a pending ship date.
I know it's hard to be patient ... BELIEVE ME! I felt like a kid waiting for Christmas to arrive. But ... when you do get it, it will be worth the wait.
CONGRATS on your phone selection!
I just went into Costco and purchased the phone there, and took it home with me. It was the same price, and they threw in $50 worth of accessories.

For the last 2 or 3 years I have done by upgrade from Costco & no problems at all. I do like how Costco includes the extra accessories for no extra cost
I was unsure if i wanted to order one and wait. I was in Walmart and looked at the phones. I found out they had 1 Droid X in stock, Took it home with me for 199.00 no waiting Right place at the right time I guess.
I was on the phone with a rep before I ordered my Droid X today... the rep confirmed that orders placed on the 16th, 17th and 18th would ship on 8/31...
I ordered on 8/13 and was told it woud ship 8/30. I got a tracking number today and will have it by Monday.
Espin77,
Did you order your phone online or in store? I'm just confused because it seems that a lot of people are getting their phones before others.
That is funny.... I ordered on the 9th and they are saying it will not ship until the 25th.
I just called *611 and the CSR swears that they are shipping them in order of when the order was placed.
She basically said if anyone claims to be getting a phone out of order they are lying.
Sure, VZW.... I was born yesterday. STOP LYING TO YOUR CUSTOMERS!!!
Hmmm? I ordered mine on the 13th also but havent recieved my tracking number yet
Ordered mine in the store with accessories on 10 Aug. As of this morning (20 Aug) no shipment email of any kind. I have a sneaking suspicion I man not get mine as promised when purchased.
I purchased in store on August 13th. I was told the ship date would be 08/25, but they did not say anything about receiving notification when it was shipped. The wait is killing me!
In what part of the country do you live? I live in Florida, ordered the phone online, on the 14th, and have heard nothing. It seems as if people in the northern states are getting them faster. I don't understand why Verizon can just take the money out of your account and leave you with nothing (information wise). It'd be really nice if they'd let you maybe know the stock from the warehouse closest to you. Or give you a better idea than the date online, which so many people seem to be bypassing, or receiving earlier than. I'm not about to berate them about not having enough stock, that's useless as it's hard to predict these kind of numbers. I just wish I had more information. Since most people have busy lives, it's difficult to be at home for whenever that FedEx truck decides to arrive. Or I could just be ranting.
I live in Tennessee

hoping I get it sooner.... I sold my BB Storm2 to get the Droid X... using my old Voyager which is kinda frustrating...
*update* Verizon has confirmed my Droid X will ship on 8/31/10. Still keeping fingers crossed that it will ship a couple days earlier than that....
UPDATE: Just called Verizon.... Got my confirmation that my Droid X ships 8/27/10 (tomorrow). Receiving 8/31/10 .... they didn't have my email address which is why I never got a confirmation.
Here is the status of your order.
My wait is over! I recieved my FED EX shipment notification today at 11:00am telling me my phone has been shipped and I should recieve tomorow (Aug 24)! This has been the LONGEST week and a half I've ever expeirenced for sure. This is my first Droid phone but from all the videos I've seen on the web it will be my best phone yet!
I got the "August 31st" shipping when I ordered my phone.
My husband just got off the phone with Verizon.
Here are my new stats:
Ordered: 8/16 9:30 am
Talked to Verizon CS: 8/23 6:00 pm and got ship date
Shipping: 8/25
Receiving: either 8/26 or 8/27.
He could not confirm which day I would recieve it since the tracking number isn't generated yet. He said that the information from the warehouse is giving the shipping date but since FedEx doesn't have it yet, he cannot give out a tracking number. He said that I will get that on Wednesday when FedEx starts the shipping process.
Oh...and I'm in the Chicagoland area (40 minutes straight south) if that helps anyone with their estimates on shipping.
I ordered the phone online on 8/14 and the order status page says it will be shipped on the 30th. I don't understand, I ordered it earlier yet I am going to receive it later than those who ordered theirs after me? I am confused.... Especially since you mentioned you ordered yours on 8/16 yet your going to receive it either on the 26th or 27th. Verizon? Any valid explanation?
I got that information by calling customer service. I can't even pull up my order online. I wouldn't even know that my order is shipping tomorrow if I didn't talk to them directly. Give them a call, they may have different information for you.
