Woot! Order status changed!

Maybe if your lucky they still have some moonshine runners around. They were pretty good at delivering their product.

LOL..I can picture something out of Smokey and the Bandit..some FedEx trucks heading out to other facilities..with someone out front running blocker..

Just got a package in the mail, unfortunately it was not my phone. Rather it was something I ordered from Amazon on Sat. It came from Hawaii faster than my phone, which has managed to gather more dust in Memphis than vinyl record in an Apple store, and it was sent via free super saver shipping!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS MADDENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ultrav23]

About time!

What is going on with my shipment, it is a curse I swear it!

About time!

lol hope you get yours! mine said that at 7:45am this morning. then at 1pm it said it went back to the FedEx facility because it was not scheduled for delivery. Verizon has told FedEx to hold them.. I guess some people let it slip by

 

[ultrav23]

Can FEDEX tell how often you check tracking on a package? Because if they can I think I have discovered what is going on here. It is a cruel practical joke. The more you check the more they hold onto it. Or, even worse the they don't hold onto it they just don't scan it. For all I know it could be sitting in my local delivery guys truck right now with a little post-it note that says "DELIVER LAST!". Well, that is what I am going with anyway. Now I feel better, even if only slightly!

I think I hate Memphis and I have never even been there before.

Been there once, not missing anything.

Good Music and BBQ

I noticed that expert fedex shipping was left off your list

Well, unless my Incredible is going to come with a Memphis sampler of BBQ and music it doesn't help me much. But, someday when I finally get my phone maybe I can use the navigation to find my way there. Then I could enjoy the music and BBQ and personally thank all those hard working FEDEX employees for safely seeing my prized position on its' way!

Now all you need is the phone to do it.



Apparently memphis is the only fedex center that got the memo and cared enough to hold them...f'ers.

I fully expect Memphis to start moving after Verizon's shipping cutoff which is 4:30 I think.

LOL. They can see us through our computers and are laughing at our frustration.

OR, MAYBE THEY GOT THE MEMO AND THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN READ!

Was that too far? Did I cross a line....

The good news is that you are kind of right. When I worked pre sort the goal was 97% scanning. So on 2500 packages ( a normal morning in Des Moines ground terminal) that leaves 50 not scanned. Memphis is a hub so it might be greater than that.


The bad news is that I have checked mine at most 10 times since I got the email on sunday, and it still says memphis.

 

[dustinfrank]

Yeah the Memphis hub for Fed Ex is a MAJOR hub...(aren't they even based there?) I'm sure A LOT of the pre-orders are actually routing through there, and it would make sense that the largest hub would be adhering VZW's rules more than others. I guess the mysterious "shipment information sent to FedEx" yesterday morning was simply the instructions: "don't ship the f-er yet!!". dang it.

Has anyone gotten their phone yet that DID come through the Memphis hub?

I think I refreshed the FedEx site so frequently that it could have perceived as an attempted DoS attack.

I have the site set to refresh every min.

 

[nextmick]

Well.... look on the brightside. FedEx is teaching us patience. Here's what I got on my screen.

 

[ultrav23]

I think I refreshed the FedEx site so frequently that it could have perceived as an attempted DoS attack.

Now there is an idea. If we could somehow coordinate our refreshes from around the country we might be able to bring their website down. That way all the others not getting shipments from Memphis would be in the dark as much as we are. Sync watches ..... NOW....

 

[BadPeekSell]

Obsessed, much?

I kid, I kid! can't wait myself!

 

[nextmick]

I have the site set to refresh every min.

How do you set it to auto refresh? I'm using Firefox if that matters.

 

[NVR2ND]

I hope someday I can be the person that sets the release dates of devices. What little free time I have will be spend sending false info to shipping companies just for the sick joy of it.

 

[ultrav23]

While "Incredible" may describe the phone we are all waiting for I don't think the same adjective would be used to describe this pre-order process. Any suggestions?
