Not sure what you ordered as a self install.
Normally delivery is only a day or two. E.g. they normally deliver new STB/DVR overnight.

FiOS isn't a self-install kind of service. What exactly did you order?

Self Install kit? Are you sure you didn't order DSL from Verizon? FiOS is one of those services where it does require Verizon to install it if your home has never been wired before for it.

Unless you are in a building that previously had FIOS, there is no way its a self install.

Then Verizon must send out people to do a install. Its not a trivial install.

Something's definitely wrong then ... for a FiOS install at a new location they're going to have to come out and run a FiOS fiber optic cable from the side of your home to the location where your neighbor's cable ran to -- and dig up the yard again the process most likely -- and then install an ONT (optical network terminal) and power supply and then connect it up to your in home wiring (cable, phone, etc.)
FiOS initial installs are not "self-install".
Subsequent DVR/STB installs in a home that already has FiOS are self-install, but that's about it.
