When I ordered my S4 from Newegg, I told them I was going to be using an upgrade from a different line and switching the S4 over to my number. Verizon said to just order the phone and when it arrives, call them (VZW) and they will activate it on my line - no biggie. But Newegg insisted they could and would swap the upgrade for me during the order process.
Long story short, my tracking info said it went through carrier approval (no issues, it sounded like). Thursday afternoon - release day - I received an email from Newegg saying my line is not eligible for an upgrade and my order has been cancelled. WTF?
It worked out perfectly though, because after receiving the email, I stopped in the VZW store - walked out about 20 minutes later with a beautiful black S4 in my hand. Yeah, spent a little more than Newegg ($30), but it was definitely worth it. I am loving this phone!
To Newegg, sorry guys - sucks for you. You didn't get the sale, and I doubt I'll ever order from you again. My experience had way too much hassle involved.
