Yea I was actually jumping between both, but I liked that Verizon app had a countdown. I originally wanted to go through Apple, but since the app wasn't working, I jumped over to Verizon and was done by 12:01. Sucks that it continues to happen with Apple though. You go through the whole thing of configuring your order, getting your money/info right, and then the app just doesn't load or screws up. It's unfortunate. Verizon hasn't steered me wrong though so I'll stick with them.
Just got my official email from Verizon with my shipping info. Looks like it takes them a day after it actually ships to send the email.
It's been said 1000x but damn was this easy through Verizon. I've never once had an issue with the Apple app until this pre-order. Very impressed, almost makes me not hate them (Verizon) for costing so much...almost.
Have those cases gotten any better when it comes to dust? I remember just taking the phone out of my pocket, it would be covered with dust particles, something that constantly bothered me. Had to return.
The black one I used to have originally was awful about getting dust. After some time it got better.
The olive green one I have right now isn’t near as bad as the black one was.
I called Verizon at (866) 338-7390 per a previous post in this thread. They let me change the address. They tell their warehouse in Memphis and they just slap a new sticker on with the updated address. Took all of 10 minutes.
My experience was similar to yours. I also will stick with Verizon App or site in the future. The impressive act of Verizon makes me love them more.
Hah Hah Verizon is correcting their first email which said the order shipped and will be delivered 10/30/17. I just received a new email stating the order will be delivered 11/3/17.
Anyone with 11/10 or 11/15 seeing any movement on their orders yet? Ordered a 256 SG w/ confirmation email received at 3:17am ET. What kills me is I see some got confimrations or placed orders just a couple yo few minutes later and they still got 11/3 ship dates....
Separate orders that seemed to ship together. They have the same tracking number, so I assume they are coming in the same box. I get that all the time with Verizon enterprise orders, they like to save on shipping
That’s the name of the game, friend. I’m about 100% we’ll get bumped up. More stock comes in, people cancel their orders, etc.
For what it's worth, I am in Oregon (almost as North and West from TN as I could be), and my phones are all there.This!!!!!
I have a good friend that works for Verizon corporate (operations manager) in a Tampa, FL. I just finished geeking out over the phone with her about the new iPhone X. She stated that there are mass pre-order queues that they are going through in batches. The location of their distributors and warehouses in conjunction with the order location (delivery address) and order time are the main factors in regards to who gets shipped the fastest vs who doesn’t.
Since I live in east FL, which is 140+ miles away from their 35,000+ square feet storage and distribution center, I essentially am at the “bottom” of the queue for the 11/03 deliveries. My credit card will be charged sometime today if not tomorrow and my phone will be shipped out sometime tomorrow if not Wednesday.
I’m not sweating it anymore
I’m lucky I am not my friend either. She currently has her iPhone X in possession I type. She unfortunately cannot open the box, nor can she activate it as well. I’d rather not be in that position, hahaha!
****Edit/update: Some orders, depending on the batch # and pre order number will go out faster than others, regardless of location it seems. Most phones in the south / south east are coming from Memphis, TN where the main FedEx distribution center is located. I believe that (I’ll follow up with my friend and update here) Verizon has either shipped their phones directly to the distribution center in TN and/or is holding some for the next batch that will be processed. Either way, it appears that they are sending their phones directly to TN to be redistributed rather than keep “x” amount in state for FL and east coast residents. Makes sense from a logistics standpoint. Anyways, it is Monday and we still have a ways to go. For those (like me) who are in “processing”, keep an eye out today or tomorrow for your charge.****
May be the name of the game but can’t deny it sucks a bit. Here’s hoping for all of us with the later 1-2 week ship times
I just got off the phone with a CSR and she told me Verizon can't change delivery addresses on pre-orders?
Thanks, I was hoping maybe they changed materials or something. I'll stick to my Caudabe or leather Apple cases for now.
Yep, mine’s been chillin’ there since Sunday. I will say, I’d rather have it sitting there versus sitting in China or wherever it was assembled.
I had to call the specific number I posted, not regular customer service. And your phone has to have already shipped and you have a tracking number. It can't be before it ships I don't believe.
Weird, my phone was in West Chester, PA (20 minutes away from my house) and now it is on it's way to Elizabeth, NJ (2 hours away).
smh, look back at the last like 5 pages about what I've been saying lol

You are required to have your tracking number and call 866-338-7390 once you do.
