Na I haven't been charged for the phone as well.. I thought they only charge ya after they ship it.
I just spoke with someone from Wirefly and they still have no news on the phone. I figure if Best Buy is receiving them just this morning that Wirefly should get theirs sometime today. That means they COULD ship them out today and we who have overnight MIGHT get them tomorrow. Of course this is just my fantasy, but it does seem likely considering the info from Wirefly says they ship them within a couple hours of receiving them.

I hope that is the way it happens. I added next day shipping when I found out it wasn't going to be released on the 18th. At least the folks who pre ordered with BB are starting to get there's. That gives me a little hope

My WF order status just changed. Estimated ship date changed from "2-3 weeks" to "Awaiting Inventory" They also ran my credit card.
Hopefully that's a good sign. Now if I can just stop refreshing the page like a lab monkey pressing the bar for cocaine.

mine has been awaiting inventory since I ordered on 5/10 . Im guessing one to two weeks. Best Buy may have a special deal with sprint. Good to remember in the future.
I orderd on the 9th and they charged my card the $119 a couple days later but the charge is completely not existent on my statement now. It was probably just a test to see if i had the funds.
I'm in the same boat, but I'm seriously considering cancelling my order if it turns out I can get one in a store over the weekend (don't know if that's possible, but I'm just saying).
Here's my situation. I pre-ordered on Wirefly at 8am Central time on May 7th because they offered $50 off. Later, I found out about the "Friends and Family" deal for $80 off, so I'm stuck paying $30 more than everyone else.
I emailed Wirefly asking for info, especially since I'm moving next week, so my shipping address will change. I got a response a full day later offering apologies for the delay but no more info. I emailed again a couple days later, and received no response to my questions.
First unsolicited response from Wirefly about the customs delay came on the 22nd, when they sent the email saying the phones cleared customs, and the line saying "the phones will literally spend about 1 hour in our distribution facility before we ship them out the door."
I waited some more, did a chat yesterday. The agent couldn't say exactly when the phones would ship, but upgraded my shipping to next business day for free and said my order would be "shipped on priority basis once we have the phone model available in our stock." I don't know what priority status entails or when I can expect my phone to be shipped in relation to the other pre-orders, so I can't say whether this will make a difference (it obviously hasn't yet).
So my receipt still hasn't been updated, says "ships May 18th" and still has my FedEx 2 day shipping listed instead of the upgrade, and the 2-3 week shipping estimate, "pending approval."
Again, my big issue here is that I'm moving. Come next Thursday, I won't be at my current shipping address. Yes that's a week away, but it's currently after 8:30pm and there's no sign that any EVOs shipped from Wirefly today. So maybe they start shipping tomorrow, which means FedEx's next business day shipping would deliver to me on Tuesday, due to the holiday. I can't be home for delivery, so I don't know if FedEx will leave the phone if leave a note. So maybe I'd have to wait another day for delivery, which would be Wednesday, when I start moving.
And that's if Wirefly ships before the weekend, which is definitely not a given at this point. So I'm left wondering if I'll be stuck for another week or more because Wirefly hasn't kept us updated.

wirefly told me that they don't require a signature for delivery.

They also said they get their phones directly from HTC so they would get them about the same time as Sprint, and that the phones only spend about an hour in their facility. Either they don't have the phones in stock or they don't spend only 1 hour in their facility, so at least one of those statements can't be right. So I don't know if I would believe them about the delivery signature at this point. I'm not trying to slander them or anything, I'm just pointing out the lack of proper communication with their customers. Yes, this whole situation was beyond their control, but they can control how they inform their customers.
This is my first and last order with wirefly. I can deal with delays, and I won't die if I'm not the first to get the phone, but for gods sake, if I take the time to call or chat and ask for an update, give me a little more than "we don't know when we will have stock or when your phone will ship, but you can check back again in the future." That has literally been the response of a half dozen people at wf through phone and chat. Just pathetic.
If you really believe that to be true, I think you should take one for the team!!!
