I have two watches, a starlight Alpine Loop S, and a Green Alpine Loop M, same as the rest of you ship by September 23. My Apple Cash got charged on the 9th but then I got it back a few days ago. Verizon told me I would get charged once shipped. I also ordered the AirPods Pro 2 from Verizon and that one says estimated to deliver on the 23rd unlike the watches that say ship by sept 23. Mine also says backordered while the AirPods said preordered. Weird.
Got a tip for us?

Some AT&T people are seeing their orders out for delivery today! Must be a glitch.
One of them posted a picture of their order and said they will be unboxing it soon.
I pre-ordered on 9/9 at about 9:00 AM over the phone with my Verizon business account representative. I had to because the Verizon website kept hanging when I tried to do it via the internet. I ordered the Starlight because my rep said it had the earliest possible delivery which was 9/23. As of now, the order is in pending status (I can't actually see that but both my rep and CS say so) and my rep keeps saying it will ship on or before 9/23. Also if when I try and order a watch now it says I can not because there is already a pending order. So, I think I'm good to go.

I’m so confused. I checked my confirmation email and it said backordered. When I check the app for the status, it say estimated to deliver by 9/23. I don’t know which one to believe. My order was submitted at 6:43am on 9/9.
EDIT: I remember when I used to preorder through T-Mobile years back, I would sometimes see a backordered message until my phone shipped and I received it on launch day. I don’t know if Verizon do anything like this or not.

FYI...I just searched and read Reddit about Verizon Ultra Watch orders placed on the 9th. They are all saying the same things we are saying.
Just spoke to a rep online. As expected, they just repeated back to me what I told them. They just confirmed that they don’t know. Seriously. Ugh.
Time to practice patience.

My email confirmation say backordered but in the app it’s saying estimated to deliver on 9/23.
I'd say this is really good news, and the first "movement" we've seen with Verizon! You said you ordered at 6:43am. What time-zone?I’m so confused.

This is my first preorder through Verizon, so that’s a great question. I hope UPS so that I can have more control over my delivery vs FedEx. I work on Friday, and majority of the time, FedEx will leave a note if there is a signature required. For some packages, they won’t even let you have them sent to another location if you aren’t going to be home.
Packages are coming via UPS this time around. Last year it was FedEx. Signature is required and they have it set so that they will not deliver it anywhere but your house, I tried to set my phone up to be delivered to a UPS Ship Point and it wouldn’t let me.
I just talked again with Verizon. The rep assured me my watch is shipping Friday and specifically stated mine is shipping via FedEx. Rep sounded very confident. Nothing left to do but patiently wait like Job (Biblical Job not Steve)

My email Says Backordered and Expected delivery date is 9/23/2022
My app says ship date 9/23
I’ve never had any issues having a package diverted with UPS, so hopefully Verizon allow me to have it diverted to a UPS store. As soon as I get a tracking number, I’m going to try to request it with my premium membership.
Let us know if you can. I’ve never been able to reroute a shipment from Verizon with UPS that requires a signature even with a premium membership
I just held my 14PM from Verizon last Friday for pick up at the local customer service center. The only issue I had was when I processed the request; it was not showing on the tracking like it usually does. UPS chat assured me they saw the hold request. I continued doing it, and when it finally populated, there were like 3-4 on there.
Nope they are getting there devices AT&T has been good with orders and service.
