I marked that I was interested in testing any/everything, but I've received zero emails so far. The survey in the OP is closed, so I can't re-do it.
Same for me, got no emails.

Also - can you give us the email address (or something else) that we can search for in our emails? I get A LOT of email everyday and it could have been lost in my junk.

Mine says it's going to Speculator, TX, which as far as I can tell is not a real place. I live in Austin.
I live in Speculator, NY and signed in the original survey but never got a response... Something is amiss in Netgeartopia...

Yeah, tried that - no dice... was just hoping that I missed something somewhere.

I thought I felt good about everyone getting theirs but now that city and state combos seem to be crossed I am not so sure.

If the address remained intact, it might go to my name and someone else's address.

Maybe the other poster whose package said CS will come to me???

We could always divert the packages to the correct addresses by contacting FedEx; however, I would feel guilty if the current destinations (or at least some of them) are actually addresses of someone in the program.

We would also run the risk of receiving two units if Dubi's situation plays out and a unit is sent to the correct address, but with the wrong name.

Perhaps Marynel Rapinan, intern extraordinaire, will give us an update in the morning?

Even better, maybe she can fix this!

this is too much fun. I'm not even mad. I trust that everything will work out in the end, but it's just hilarious to watch. Netgear's keeping us on our toes.

How do I change the delivery address on my shipment?
If you are the shipper, you may contact FedEx Customer Service at 1.800.GoFedEx 1.800.463.3339 to change the delivery address. A $10 service charge will be billed to the account on the shipment.
If you are the intended recipient of the package and you wish to provide additional information about the delivery address (example, add a suite or apartment number), you may contact FedEx Customer Service at 1.800.GoFedEx 1.800.463.3339. If you are the intended recipient and want the shipment delivered to a new address, contact the package's shipper and request the change of address.
You may request your package be held for pickup at your nearby FedEx Office location. For FedEx Express packages, you may also request the package be held at the delivery station.

When viewing your tracking information under delivery options click customize delivery and select deliver to another address. It will cost money. In my case the quote is $5.

Let's wait until packages arrive at the intial FedEx locations. I have a feeling tracking information will update at that time. I have two other packages coming to me via FedEx and both have the shipper's names and addresses as well as my name and address. That information may not get scanned into the system until it hits the first hub.

True. I ended my sentence too early. Add "before we start panicking" to it.

Interesting info. I started to get my package held at "nearest Fedex location".

My delivery is showing Kingwood, but nearest Fedex locations are the 2 stores near my house in CS. Obviously those are not anywhere near Kingwood.

something's definitely off... I live in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, but my destination is showing Hempstead, CO (not a place).

We now have two verified cases of City/State mismatches. It looks like we have three options.

1. Contact Marynel/William1978 and try to get everyone's addresses sorted out
2. Reroute the packages based upon the tracking numbers we received
3. Pray and hope for the best.

In my opinion option 1 is in the best interest of everyone because it will not adversely affect those in the program who are not Texags members or who have not seen this thread. Option 2 could end up screwing over a number of people.
