Please post in this thread once you receive official notification from tivo.com that your premiere has shipped.

It would be helpful if you could state the date of when your order was placed.

Thanks!

EDIT:
Based on some feedback from below. Please add the following information:

Date your order was placed:
Type of order: (Premiere or Premiere XL)
First initial of last name:
What State do you live in:
Date your order has shipped:

Perhaps include the first initial of your surname. The 'order processing' did not seem to go in geographical or chronological order. I'm guessing it was alphabetical.

Also the include whether is premiere or premiere xl.

So awesome that they are available at Best Buy yet I'm still waiting on a shipping confirmation. FML

Well it is worth it for the savings. The same thing from Bestbuy would cost more so I'm not complaining.

Plus even with free ground shipping I knew I would have to wait for it anyway, even if TiVo did release it a few days early for TiVo.com orders.

Am torn on this.

On one hand, I have to agree with Dubfire here. The least Tivo could do would be to ensure that pre-orders were in the shipping channel before or at the same time as the Premiere was available in Best Buy.

On the other hand, maybe they want to make sure that our out-of-box experience is better, so they held the shipping. Right Tivo? Right?

Holding out hope for exactly that is about the only thing keeping me sane here. I'm hoping they held off so when I do receive it - I get a product that's a lot less of a headache out of the box as what some have posted on here.

If not then I might go postal. LOL:mad:

I'm guessing that TiVo started processing on Friday, but in preparation shipping today -- had they shipped Friday somebody would have been within one day range and would have already reported receiving their unit today. The lack of tracking numbers so far tends to confirm that theory. My order was placed 3/3, and got the "Processing" status in early afternoon Friday, BTW. My last name begins with "W".

Just had live chat with TiVo.com. Alfonso assured me that they are shipping today. Hopefully his statement is true because I am getting impatient. lol. I want to officially receive tracking number so I can schedule Comcast truck roll.

Same here as soon as I get that tracking info - I'm calling Comcast to deal with their ineptitude so maybe this wait is a little bit of a blessing in disguise.

BTW, it could be likely that they're shipping the father away orders first, and the closer ones second, so that everyone would get their shipments around the same time.

I think the rumor is they're shipping from FT. WORTH texas, which is about 20 minutes from where I live. I ordered the day after it was announced and I don't have a ship confirmation yet.

ilh
03-29-2010, 03:27 PM
Well I'm in MA, and closer more recent orders are shipping. Go figure. Guess people who decided to release half-written UI are organizing the shipping too. ;)

I think someone with a 3/25 order date from TX has received a shipping notification.

ascuser
03-29-2010, 03:27 PM
Actually it seems like they are shipping from latest to earliest, though if they really are all shipping out today, then it shouldn't matter much. If. Mine was placed on 3/5 also, and no shipping notice yet. I think TX is 5 business days from me. grrr!!!!

My guess it is going like this.....

Lets say they have 10 employees working on preparing the shipping orders. They probably had all of the orders printed out and in a stack. Each employee is probably grabing a bunch off that stack. My luck is that the employee that grabed mine is probably really slow :-(

Everyone take a close look at the "SHIP DATE" in your shipping confirmation e-mail.

Mine says "Ship Date: 03/26/2010" but on the UPS tracking page it says "Shipped/Billed On: 03/29/2010"

I wonder which is right, or if they each have different meanings for the word "shipped"?

Probably the date that TiVo printed out your form and therefor gave them the ability to process your credit card (and stop you for potentially canceling your order)

Mine too, but all that matters is the origin scan and that hasn't happened yet. Basically Tivo listed it as shipping in their system and pushed it out electronically to UPS today, which I guess at the same time notifies customers.

ETA I guess too keep in mind UPS web system isn't always real-time. Sometimes things take a while to reflect in the system, from my experience.

If they entered it all on the 26th and electronically sent to UPS today, everyone should have gotten email at same time, shouldn't they have?

It also looks like they're notifying people in the reverse order from which they bought it. Newest purchasers first, back to the first purchasers. The latest posts have been order made on 3/15, 3/13, and mine on 3/12.

Somebody at TiVo is a major moron. I have been with TiVo thru 4 generations, but this may be the last. All of you who had DirecTiVos may remember, we waited with great anticipation, BUT THEY WENT OUT BY DATE OF ORDER. Apparently these people have never figured out that making Early Adopters feel wanted IS PART OF GOOD MARKETING. I know the system is prone to creating false impressions, but SMART companies MANAGE the impressions their customers receive. Clearly there is very little smart there. Somebody at TiVo should put this post on the CEO's desk, as apparently he THINKS he has more important concerns than CUSTOMERS.

Crazy. I ordered two regular Premieres. One on the 7th of March, and one on the 25th of March. The 3/25 order just shipped. The one from the 7th is still processing. Nothing like treating your most rabid fans like crap by shipping their early orders last. :)

Fortunately, I got two, and one was last minute, so it's shipped while I wait for my initial order still.

The worst part about this is that I was also one of the "Lucky 200" who ordered a Series 3 with expedited shipping only to have it lost and delayed by the seemingly incompetent order processing monolith at TiVo. Apparently, they learned nothing from that fiasco.

Neither, apparently, did I. Next time, I won't order early.

c) Including a T-Shirt?
d) Including a mug?
e) Window decal?
f) Antenna ball?

If everything ships today, then no foul. However, if there is significant delay in shipping early pre-orders...... I mean, if Tivo can't get a FIFO queue processed correctly, how the heck can we ever expect collaborative scheduling?

Just got my e-mail at 8:57 that the TiVo is shipped -- which means that it's likely shipping tomorrow as I don't think UPS can pick it up this late in the day.

UPS: Billing information received just means the shipment is on a manifest -- it implies UPS hasn't received the unit yet but will soon (likely the next day before 5pm).

These packages almost certainly require a signature.

FedEx has a shipping release document that customers can print out and leave on the door. UPS doesn't (not for customers, but it's an option for the shipper), but UPS will usually leave the package without customer signature if a note is on the door instructing them that it's OK.

I have gotten things a day early many, many times. That said, I've also seen my package arrive in town early and then sit on a truck for two days while it was held until the originally scheduled delivery date.

I have plenty of packages that show up earlier than the original date. With FEDEX that never happens. If the package arrives at the local facility early, they put a note that it is not due for delivery and they just hold it until the delivery day. With UPS they will always deliver as soon as they have it at our local facility.

When I used to get packages delivered at home, a signature required meant nothing to UPS. They would just drop a $1k item at the door even though it required a signature. And a (literally) $5 or $10 item they would not leave it there.

It depends on the driver and the location. Some addresses UPS will always require a signature no matter the item if there has been previous problems. And some drivers don't want to have to deal with re-deliveries, so they will leave items they shouldn't. It's all up to the driver.

I've had that happen when using two day shipping (which is rare for me; I'm usually a cheap-ass and select ground or Super Saver shipping). But I've never had ground shipping show up earlier than UPS says it will.

I would guess that it probably depends if you're close to a UPS shipping hub or not.

I have two UPS tracking numbers. One is 22 lbs and has a departure scan from MESQUITE, TX. The other is 11 lbs and still shows "billing information received". They are both scheduled to be delivered April 1. Not sure what that means. I seen weirdness like that with FedEx one time when I ordered speakers. I had 7 packages. Six showed up together, one went on vacation in Florida for a few days before it arrived....

Did you order a network adapter? Maybe that's the lower weight one. The 22 pounder out of Mesquite is the Premiere. 11 lbs and a separate box for the manual seems a bit much. :)

My scheduled delivery date is 4/1. So I called Fios to get a truck roll on the cable card. The earliest I could get was on Thursday April 8th. But I decided to just do it on Friday the 9th. This is in SoCal, so start calling now to get your cards by the end of next week.

Don't know what to tell you. I get things early sometimes. I buy a lot from amazon prime and usually get two day shipping. Sometimes it only takes one day.

Yep, I have prime as well, and often get stuff in one day, even though it is two day shipping, too.

Before my days having prime, I used their free shipping, and the UPS estimates were almost always wrong. It would take about 2-3 days to get, and the estimate would usually say 5 days.

I have plenty of packages that show up earlier than the original date. With FEDEX that never happens. If the package arrives at the local facility early, they put a note that it is not due for delivery and they just hold it until the delivery day. With UPS they will always deliver as soon as they have it at our local facility.

With me it the opposite, ups never early, fedex some times early.

I don't know what it costs to make but they would cost well over $100 to purchase them.
I have five M cards with FiOS. At least it costs me $12 less than when I had eight S cards.

no. You need to get them from Verizon.. UNless things have changed.

But $20 for an M card is very suspect, since they are worth, many, many times that brand new.

I know nothing about the corporate structure of Tivo as a company, but I don't think one should assume that the location of a warehouse shipping Tivos that may not have even been manufactured in the US would necessarily indicate where the company is based out of.

They just ship out of Ft. Worth, Texas. Texas is a popular state for distribution because of it's geographical location. Amazon has a distribution center about 5 minutes away from where I live, along with a list of other companies.

My TiVo should be here any second. Waiting for the friend UPS man.... :rolleyes:

Paid $52 for overnight shipping from Amazon.comYou should have paid the extra for Prime. The $54 would have went towards the $79 annual fee.

You see where it says "What State do you live in: Hawaii", Amazon Prime doesn't net you free 2-day shipping to Hawaii, much less overnight. So if you live in Hawaii "Prime" is pretty much useless!

I wouldn't get your hopes up. Even if its not sent sig required, it is at the discretion of the driver as to whether or not he feels comfortable leaving it outside at the residence. I suspect most drivers won't leave unattended a box with a huge "TIVO" on the side of it. Our fedex driver refuses to leave ANYTHING at the house no matter what it is or what it looks like and he only attempts delivery at 2:00 pm every afternoon. After several annoying trips to the FedEx terminal, we decided to have everything shipped to where we work.
