Ya problem with shipping items. I always prefer to pick up the devices in store. Removes all these issues. I despise the online system we have today and Courriers are damn annoying. Always missing deliveries. Marking delay because they simply didn't want to go up stairs if it's a large building. Just leaving tags for you to go to a pick up location. I just had a shipment and the nerve of them to hold it at the shipment center and not even deliver it

This. Just upgraded from Xr to a the 14pro. Had it delivered to the store to prevent this from happening.

Ya smart. I always take store delivery as well. Their problem if something goes wrong. And I must prefer to just head to the store at my own convenience than having to wait all day for the delivery dude + it’s super easy to miss sometimes too then they just head off and leave you some note. Tracking says delivery attempted. Half the times they never even actually attempt anything. Just mark it as that

I should have asked for store delivery, I wish I did. They didn’t really give it as an option. Hindsight is 20/20. Thankfully it got resolved and I got a phone in my hands by the end of the day, at least. Lesson learned.

Ya at least you got it worked out. But a close call. Sometimes the idiots deliver it to a wrong address and the person accepts it knowing it’s not even his name. But this doesn’t make sense with a phone. Because the phone needs to be signed. They can’t just drop it off anywhere. It has to be verified by the name and stuff. The phone companies ship it with those conditions. So it’s just bad delivery people.
But ya next time just request it to be sent to the nearest store. Easy peasy

Yea, they also sent me an iPhone 12 which I had noticed in the very bottom of the delivery box once I came back from the phone store. I didn’t get charged for it and it’s wrapped in plastic so I’m assuming it hasn’t been tampered with.
They said they’d be giving me a call tomorrow to complete the number transfer (I have a temporary phone number since apparently they had to like, cancel or close a service ticket for the stolen phone or whatever, I don’t know) so when they call me tomorrow I’m gonna let them know I was given a free phone by accident.

Wow that’s amazing. So the 12 was in the same delivery box as the 14 pro or a separate shipping box?

it was in the same box. It was beneath tissue paper and a bunch of papers from Verizon. It’s totally wrapped in plastic so I’m assuming there’s a phone in there still lol. I’m just super confused as to how it ended up in there, I just feel like I have so many questions I won’t get answers to.

Just keep it lol maybe it’s a gift from the delivery people for misplacing the package. The delivery guy opened up another box and sent placed the phone In yours lol haha imagine
Ya send it back if you want sure

Haha! I considered it, but I don’t need another phone. Additionally, it sounds like it won’t really turn on or even work, like it needs to be activated with a phone company. Especially if it was someone else’s order that got mixed in with mine perhaps.
And if I were to sell it, someone else might not be able to turn it on if it was meant to go to someone else and is disabled, and I wouldn’t sleep well if I knew I may have screwed someone out of money for a deadweight iPhone.

I would try to activate it anyway. Maybe it isn't tied to whoever purchased it. Legally you are protected. If they ask for it back they would have to send you a paid return label.
