Cheers for the heads-up on AirPods via Verizon! Now I have placed three orders...

1) Apple.com: Delivers by January 12
2) BestBuy.com: Delivers by February 7
3) Verizon.com: Next day?!? (I'll believe it when I see it...)

Would any one like to wager which arrives first? :p

Verizon has never failed me before, putting money on that. I have 2 orders myself from BestBuy and VZW. :p

Well I ordered Verizon. I botched my email in a rush and put .con. So I called to get my conformation, change that, etc. they couldn't actually change the email. They did however tell me they will ship tomorrow and that be here Wednesday despite me paying for overnight. Which I wasn't thrilled about. Also signature required so there's a headache but hey at least I'll have them Wednesday.

So short version, Verizon is legit and you'll have them before Xmas.

My Best Buy shipped at 7:50pm PST and they should be here tomorrow and my Verizon order just shipped and I'll have that pair by 10:30am tomorrow. Looks like I'll be getting rid of the Best Buy pair :p.

Just tried Verizon wireless and got a shipping estimate for Wednesday the 21st. Really hoping this is a real and can cancel my Apple order for the 29th.

Wow! It looks like the Verizon orders truly are arriving soon.

I ordered at 9:47p Central time (just before the 11:00p Eastern time next day delivery cut-off).

I ordered at 938 pm eastern and have them delivered tomorrow with the overnight shipping.

Ordered 30 min ago and said to arrive on the 21st. Checked with the agent on the chat and said yes it will arrive. So let's hope it will. Paid fastest shipping possible!

Thanks for the tip for Verizon. Placed my order. Delivery for 2 day shipping for Thursday.
[doublepost=1482211219][/doublepost]Anyone who ordered from Verizon recently. Have a arrival date in their confirmation email?
It said Thursday 12/22 when I was checking out but did not have a date on my email.

Unbelievable!

I was resigned to waiting weeks and weeks for my AirPods ordered from Apple.com (January 12) and BestBuy.com (February 7). And then these six fine human beings posted to this forum...

1) bluemonkeyguy
2) ricktat
3) Lobwedgephil
4) xanadeath
5) aamoren3
6) mlemonds

...mentioning that we might want to order our AirPods from Verizon. And then BOOM! One hour after ordering through Verizon.com I got a FedEx tracking number showing that my AirPods will arrive at my front door tomorrow by 3:00p. To these six forum members, thank you, thank you, thank you! You all saved me (and many others on this forum, I suspect) weeks of waiting and fretting.

I offer to the six of you a deep bow of gratitude. Whatever holiday or special occasion you celebrate this month, I wish you the best and my sincere thanks for the unbelievably helpful tip.

Cheers, my friends! :apple:

I appreciate the shoutout, team effort for sure. I thank @lyutin as he was the one who discovered them on Verizon. I was in the same January 12 and February boat from Apple and Best Buy, now have my tracking for delivery tomorrow from Verizon. Guess sometimes things work out for the holidays!

UPS is amped up. Ordered from BestBuy at around 8PM Mon. Opted for 2-day delivery. It shipped that night at around 11:30. Updated delivery estimate shifted from Wed to today, Tues between 10 & 2. Canceled my Jan 12th order from Apple. I really lucked out on this one.

12hrs later, mine's still in preparing mode.
I didn't opted in the overnight delivery, I wonder if that makes a difference.

Mines still preparing too. Starting to get irked though, still don't have confirmation email or anything though. Keep having to call and do automated crap. Not sure what the problem is
