Got my order in. Jet Black + set for October 3. Hopefully it moves up. If not, oh well. Atleast it's not mid to late November
Got a tip for us?

Yea on the payment plans it's sales tax on the full price of the device upfront.
Same here. I hope were in the same boat. (Do you really think it would move up a week and a half?)
Good point, I've had that happen. I guess I will wait until after they ship to fight the $20 fee per line.
If I had to bet on it, yes. I clearly remember the same thing happening last time where pretty much everyone that ordered within the first 4 hours got theirs on launch day.
You really shouldn't let corporations take advantage of you...
Thank you - I know if I went with another color I would be mad too so I danced on that line of instant gratification on 9/16 or compromise and get the other black color.....
I hope 9/16 is my bump to date - I would be super happy until this time next year 2017- when its time to do this again for the i8. lol
I went through this with att one year and with apple another year. It did move up. Never experienced it with Verizon tho. Their website is usually good, but the new layout is complete garbage and just gloriously failed tonight.
I agree. Did you see that the pictures for the two black colors were just matte? The Jet Black option had pictures of the matte black on my end and it freaked me out!!!
Just got off chat with a VZW rep, for everyone's peace of mind here is what he said.
Riley: I checked the details of the pre-order and it says here that , "Customers receive an estimated "delivery by" date on verizonwireless.com when they complete the pre-order and a "delivery date" of 9/16 in the confirmation email."
Riley: So, the date you see (09/23) is just an estimated date. If your phone doesn't become available by 09/16, please contact us back so we can help you expedite your order.
Obviously take it with a grain, but decent news. My ship date did get bumped up last year with the 6s plus.

I called and spoke with Verizon customer sales. Some model/color combo's still show a 9/16 date (all 7's and 7+ Rose Gold) but all other 7+ colors show 9/23 per the rep I spoke to. This is, of course, almost an hour after I actually placed my order so maybe confirmation email will reflect different date. No confirmation email yet.
The website wouldn't even show me a picture. Kept generating a place holder that said Image Not Available.
I'm willing to let $20 go for the peace of mind that I will get the phone on the 16th with no hiccups. I'll fight it once it is shipped and out of their hands.
My email clearly says 9/28, just like the website. I'm ok with that, but others may not be. I just don't want it delivered later as I won't be in town.
That stuff is easily disputed. Like you, I'd just wait until I saw the phone.
That's what I told him as well, this was his reply...haha...
You: In the confirmation email it does say 9/23 ship date...
Riley: I see. Just disregard the date for now. Don't worry, iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus launch in all stores and online at 8 AM local time on 9/16 so you may visit the nearest store in your area by then.
Riley: Anyway, the store will see when you made the pre-order.
Riley: That should not be a problem.
Riley: I'm glad that I was able to provide verify your order for you. Will there be anything else that I may assist you with?
You: Its shipping to me though, not to the store, why would i go there?
Riley: That is because you can also get the phone directly from the store once it becomes available.
Riley: Once that happens and you were able to get one, all you need to do is cancel your pre-order.
You: OH got ya
Riley: Perfect! The pre-order serves as an insurance that you'll be one of the firsts who'll get the new phone once its released.
Obv just blah blah mumbo jumbo on their end.

Time for me to stand out in the store
Where do I check order status if I haven't received the email?Everyone should check your order status. In the confirmation email my date is 10/5, but the order status page says 9/23
Arg, nvm. Found e-mail in Clutter folder.
9/16 for my Black 128 GB and Rose Gold 64 GB!!!

Wow that was crazy! I was able to get a matte black 128gb Plus for the 23rd. Hoping it will be moved back, if not, will try for the store on launch day so I can get jet black. Overall, glad I was able to get a preorder in at least.
