New X orders now will not ship until the 18th.. Yeah right
- Thread starter NADA918
- Start date
Greenville SC, ordered on the 9th. I've been a pretty vocal hellraiser about this. I called a few minutes ago for like the 6th time, but this time trying to get some contact info for Senior Management. After waiting a few minutes, the guy says "before we hang up and I have one of our senior representatives call you back, would you like me to give you your tracking number?". I almost fell out of my chair. So it appears that Fedex picked it up at 1:43 and it should be here Monday. Great for me, but what about everyone else that hasn't heard a peep?
Well I talked to this guy for a little while and it turns out that there are a few factors that determine who gets theirs first. He told me that full retail is number one priority. Then there is somewhere for the stores to note priority customers when they order supposedly. He didn't know what defined priority customers. After that , it's a matter of which distribution centers have inventory. He went on to say that there a lot of variables. I told him that I figured as much, but that the last 6 or 7 people I spoke with denied any variables and all stuck to the same first come, first serve theory. He apologized, but this proves my point, the whole thing is a freaking crap shoot. I sincerely feel bad for those who ordered prior to the 9th and still haven't heard a word. This kind of crap really shouldn't be allowed to happen.

Wow Carlhill, you're the first person to actually get some real info. Who knows, maybe mine has shipped but I never received the tracking info. I'm not going to hold my breath. One way or the other, I'll get the phone sometime next week and that's good enough for me. Good job finally getting some real information out of these people.
:icon_eek: LOL, I swear I knew somebody was going to say that, but no, not quite that bad...

I don't know if "therapy" is the word I would use. If it wasn't for this forum, I would be expecting my Droid around the 25th and be pleasantly surprised if I get it a few days early.
I think "torture" is a more appropriate word for this forum.
This forum is the reason I realized that I could possibly get the phone earlier than expected. I obviously got priority but I have no idea. I suspect loyalty and paying closer to the ne2 price (I know not full retail) are the reasons. I am a very hostile customer too so that probably helped.
If I am paying you $120/month, do not dick around with me or my service or I will gladly go to a carrier who is not an asshole. I am lucky that Philly has great coverage from all the major carriers.

There is a guy over on the droidxforums who ordered one from his local store last night, paid for overnight shipping, and viola, had his phone today. Now that has really got to make a lot of people feel good, doesn't it? Lends some credibility to the store priority theory anyway.

New order ship date 09/06
Verizon just pushed ship date back again for new orders. Now it's 09/06. Ordered mine 08/13 with a ship date of 08/31. Can't wait to get my hands on this beasty. I passed on the "in stock Droid 2" to wait for this phone. I hope I made the right decision. I just wanted that big fat screen for my big fast fingers, after doing side by side comparison at Best Buy the screen size difference won me over. My first smart phone so should be interesting.
