I could tell that even the person who handed over the package had to do something strange in their system. But in the end, I was able to show ID, sign for it, and take the box home. So praise to the Twitter support rep - they can obviously do some magic that FedEx's phone support and website could not.
Will complete activation and porting process this weekend. I hope that works seamlessly, because if there are problems I have no idea what to do next. We have a Google Fiber store near us that actually has humans helping customers (and I've been there - they're good) but no idea if they know anything about Fi.
Cool that it works out. The activation/phone# transfer process was seamless to me. It took like 5 min since I already filled all the old carrier info on the computer. I would suggest you do that if you have not, otherwise you will have to fill in the stuff on the phone instead.
