Shipping notification....Who's first?

**Dakota 35-2** · 05-22-2012, 12:41 PM

I don't even have a tracking # yet :-( how are you guys getting the tracking number...From the sprint.com/myorder page?

Looks legit.

Lucky.

**gearjunkeez** · 05-22-2012, 12:44 PM

If that tracking # is legit - that means in went from TX to KY on 05/18? Would it be the same tracking number from hub to Sprint warehouse then out to customer? Im interested to see how that plays out...

**nobylspoon** · 05-22-2012, 12:45 PM

It seems a bit odd that the shipment originated in Amarillo TX before going to Sprints/UPS warehouse in KY. I've flown into Amarillo several times and they don't strike me as a major import/export hub for a global company like HTC...

Since the reference was "HTC", even if it was an EVO it could be going to someone else in the same zip code. There is nothing to tie it to their sprint account...

Who knows. Best of luck

It'll be one of my old backups

Maybe make a new angry german kid video for youtube...

Sorry guys, doesn't look like anyone's getting one today. I ordered first thing when they were available and I'm in Louisville, KY. UPS just came and left after dropping off a single unrelated package.

Tomorrow seems quite possible, we'll see!

**BigPuddin** · 05-22-2012, 12:56 PM

Yeah, I'm in DC and UPS has already delivered my Amazon order.

I do not have anything else from HTC or Sprint coming...

I wouldn't be surprised if this is a shipment to a store. There is a 27 lb package being delivered to my zip code today with the same reference and I have a sprint store in my zip code.

I always love these threads. Same thing every time.

1. Someone claims to have a tracking number and impending shipment.
2. People call him a liar or stupid.
3. Someone claims to have received the phone.
4. People call him a liar and demand proof.
5. Blurry photos are sent taken with the cruddy prior owned phone or their daughter's iPod.
6. People doubt the picture.
7. Turns out to be true.
8. A bunch of people yell at the doubters (even those who doubted but now deny they did).

Think that covers what we're about to see. We're now at Step 2.

Alright, since you said that I called UPS to verify the address, and it's not going to me. But it's not going to a retail location either. It's someones house about 2 minutes from me.

I am now sad

FWIW when I sent in my EVO for warranty it went to:

HTC Customer Care Department
4000 Greenbriar, Suite 200
Stafford, Texas 77477

So it's probably someone's replacement phone for the one they sent in for servicing. It's always too good to be true.

Nah, I take my daughters' upgrades too. I pass my phone down to the hubby and he passes his down to the daughter in question.

They don't complain:
13yr old has a Samsung Epic
15yr old has the OG Evo

**reg0303** · 05-22-2012, 01:18 PM

If anyone ordered through Sams check your email received an update about an hour ago.

"We do not have a definitive delivery date yet, but we’ve done this many times before and we can assure you that the phones will literally spend about 1 hour in our distribution facility before we ship them out the door."

I'm tempted to take this down the "when I was a kid, we only had phones attached to the WALL INSIDE THE HOUSE - and the receiver (the part you listened/talked on) was attached by a LONG TWIRLY CORD!" road.

For the kids that complain when their parents take their upgrade, show them a picture of a rotary wall phone and tell them to keep quiet unless they want it to be their next 'new' phone.

**lauren.87** · 05-22-2012, 01:24 PM

Yep, no phone today. UPS came to deliver another package but no phone.

**Feech** · 05-22-2012, 01:32 PM

I finally for xmas got my son a Nexus S so my upgrade cycle has been broken. It was more because the EVO 4G was that good though. Have never kept a phone through a contract

**TORQN** · 05-22-2012, 01:35 PM

Just checked my sprint order status. There is a tracking number...checked ups scheduled for today. sweet...

You are absolute correct. One thing we do know that is a fact is that the Cubs are in dead last and we don't need pictures to prove it. Oh wait...wrong forum.

**BroadcastJunkie** · 05-22-2012, 01:46 PM

the ups guy has been messing with me this whole time. last week wednesday before we got word of the whole customs thing. he said, i got your phone, thinnest package ive ever seen them use he said. it was one of those ups letter shippers... but it wasnt the phone. today, he walks in, i told you i would bring you your phone as soon as i had it on my truck.. he says but, today is just not that day. i swear, the day he brings it in, i will just tell him to keep it and leave me alone
