I reached out to a Verizon rep who said my order was completed on 9/21/22. I should be reviewing my tracking number within 24 hours, so there goes my launch day delivery.

For some reason they couldn’t charge my Apple Cash again through Apple Pay so I had to change my payment method to my card. They told me it cleared last night 9-21 and should ship out today for release day delivery. Fingers crossed we both get tomorrow delivery.

Mine still shows "delivery date will be updated soon" but I have a tracking number from Apple in my UPS app that shows delivery tomorrow.
 
Oh wow, and just like that I got tracking! Coming UPS next day air saver! Haven't received and email from Verizon, but the app shows shipped with tracking. Ordered on 9/9 at 5am PST. Medium Orange Alpine Loop 😁

I feel like my order was forgotten. Zero movement. Still “backordered “, still estimated ship date 9/23.

People are saying charges are hitting their card. I have no charges pending. AFAIK, it’s going to my account.
 
Got my shipment confirmation. Coming via UPS Next Day Air.

I was in the same boat. In a matter of minutes it went to "shipped" this morning.
 
They’re saying there’s nothing wrong with my order, but they don’t know why there’s no charges or changes. They’re creating a followup ticket to check again later. The only reason I care about getting it tomorrow is because I’ll need the weekend up to get set up. First cellular model PLUS I’m not replacing, but adding another Apple Watch to my account. My weekdays are swamped, so I’d need to wait for next weekend.

Not life or death, I know. Just try to avoid extra hassles.

My Verizon app is still showing back ordered with a ship date of September 23. I’ve spent an extended time with a representative and they said my watch was in a warehouse and should be received tomorrow by 8 pm. Here’s what I’m seeing and what they told me.

95% of the people that have "Ships by 9/23" and "Backorder" status will get their tracking number today, and delivery will happen tomorrow. Verizon is just doing this in a "big bang" style =]

I just touched base with Verizon again. Rep shared with me that I am queued up and ready to ship but can’t be certain when but by 9/23 hopefully as promised. Rep stated they just received the watches (I assume from Apple) and email with tracking number is immediately generated when shipping occurs. I think a lot of us are in this boat. Nothing more can be done at this point.

My Verizon order from early 9/9 just changed to shipped and I found a tracking # for UPS on the Verizon order page.

Annnnd Crap - they want a signature for the watch and of course they want to deliver between 11am - 3pm. I wish they had some kind of drop-off locker solution so I could just go there and pick up.

Mine needs to ship today. I have Scuba diving planned for Saturday and a Triathlon on Sunday. Monday I won't be home since its mountain climbing day.
Same!

I have laundry and shopping planned for Saturday and church and visit my mom on Sunday. Monday I won’t be home since it’s work day.

😂

I wish I could be as active as you! Hopefully have hip surgery soon so I can get back at it.

Sounds like you have a great weekend planned!!! 👍🏼

For those who have received the "order shipped" status with tracking on Verizon, is this what you're seeing on UPS website? I don't have any movement or location, just basically a Tracking ID and in the shipment info I can see it's shipping Overnight.....
