The Dave Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 No dice for me either. Probably could have picked one up faster by just walking in the store on Nov 8th That's what I am afraid of. Since Best Buy is sending via 2 day shipping, we will need to be getting our notifications today in order to see them on launch day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chemist Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) No Shipping info from Sprint yet either! I'm having mine shipped here to the lab where I work, which is right across the street from the UPS hub. It'll suck if I have to wait until Monday.

The Dave Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I wish I could change from signature required to site to store or something. I am usually at work when UPS comes, but every once in a while they will come when I pop in on my lunch break. I would hate to miss them on Friday because I am stuck at work. Maybe I will be sick that day.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign up for UPS My Choice, you can have them hold the package at your local distro facility for free (mine is close to my work) or hold at a retail location for a $5 fee. I think there is also a Signature Release option. Edited November 6, 2013 by WhiteZero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teeitup Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 No dice for me either. Probably could have picked one up faster by just walking in the store on Nov 8th The only bad thing about buying in-store is missing out on the the $50 gift card. I'm also curious if the $99 pre-order sale price will stick once this officially launches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is also a Signature Release option. I know I won't be home to sign for the shipment (required by Best Buy for phones I think) so I used UPS MyChoice to say I was on "vacation" and hold at the UPS store. Sometimes with expedited shipping there isn't time to make the change when the shipping notification comes. This way it will hopefully automatically go to the store.

So you pre-ordered in store but are you going to be picking up your phone in-store or is it going to be shipped as if you pre-ordered it online??

WhiteZero Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) Best Buy's site no longer says "Pre-Order" but "Sale", so maybe they'll be shipping today? EDIT: Just called Best Buy and they said they're still waiting on phones to even arrive at their facility apparently.

The_Chemist Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Might be time for you to take some Midol... AJ I think I need Midol as well. I ordered mine from Sprint. The customer service rep told me that my 14 day return period starts from the day I place the order - not the day I receive the phone. This is not adequate time for testing!

I think there is also a Signature Release option. Thanks for the info. I just signed up and set the preference for authorized release. It is beyond frustrating how often I've missed signature required packages in the past. Now I have one less thing to worry about when it comes to getting this preorder.

But seriously, it'll be lame if they ship later than Nov 8th. However... I saved $100 and got a $50 gift card with them, so I'd say it's worth a bit of extra waiting.

Something tells me that someone at Samsung is trying to make sure that LG doesn't piss in their kool-aid on Friday with their S4 mini/Galaxy Mega release.

Terrell352 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I think the LG G2 holds the world record for longest time on preorder for a phone.

That is a crock of you know what....how can you return something you never even had?!?! The preorder period I've waited has been longer than the 14 day trial period....I certainly hope this isn't true....
