Carrier iPhone 7/7+ Verizon Pre-Order Thread

It has to mean something, otherwise what is the point? I'm not saying it indicates where the phone currently is.
ordered black 7+ 128gb, got order in around 430est, email 505est, no cc charge, no new info, starting to lose hope that my 9/23 will move up. location code D771001 if anyone else has that one please comment
No it does not mean where it's at, it's which warehouse will have your phone and where it will be prior to shipping. They had to categorize all the orders in shipments. Probably why some have seen movement and some haven't. Whichever location code you are stamped with I'm pretty positive until that warehouse receives it and you're high up in the que you aren't going to know anything until then
I agree it means something. Perhaps the carrier whether aircraft or truck makes a stop at that location point. However the location code on the confirmation orders on day 1 of preorder has not changed..So unless all preorders have been sitting at these locations since last Friday, they don't really mean anything as far as knowing where your iphone currently is.

That makes sense and what I figured. Thanks for the info
These availability issues used to not be an issue back in the 2 year contract days. Now with everyone having the ability to upgrade every year as long as their device is paid off it has gotten worse and will likely be the new normal for pre orders for the foreseeable future.
Greetings! I signed up just to post my update, but want to thank everyone for all your updates and humor while I secretly lurked.
I purchased my phone on the Verizon website around 0300 am CT but did not receive a confirmation e-mail until 0912 am, which was nerve racking at first! I ordered the 128 rg +. Had the delivery date of 9/16 on website but 9/28 on email as many others did. CC was charged yesterday around 4 pm and I checked my status today around 0745 am to see that my package was shipped. I never received notification that my cc was charged or my package was shipped.
Good luck to all, especially our jet black friends! I hope you get your new phones soon.
Edit: I'm in Texas if that helps anyone

The location code indicates where you are located. This is a very important part of the shipping process because orders are picked/packed in waves usually by this code. Although I don't work for Verizon, this is probably the reason orders are "shipped" out of time ordered sequence. EX...I ordered at 2:30 AM and my order has not shipped, but orders placed after mine have.
did apple even make any 32gb iPhone 7+ for 9/16? thought that would be one of the first to ship, boy was i wrong. starting to think the original release date was 9/23 but moved up to 9/16 due to the Note 7 recall. wild guess but with the supply constraints this could be a thing.
Yep, FedEx is good at this logistics thing, even if it doesn't make sense to us. I remember 2 years ago, my phone sat in NJ hub for almost a week with no movement and then suddenly, late Thursday night, it flew from NJ to Memphis and made its way from Memphis to my town in time for launch day. It'll get there
It's just strange how many have phones waiting in the NJ hub to be shipped out and I'm in NJ with my phone waiting in Memphis.
Location code is the warehouse that is actually going to smack your label on your box. The phones arrive in large pallets at carrier warehouses around the country. They break them down and throw them on a conveyor which then scans and sees all the details in the phone and then the computer says that "Joe Blow" is next up for that particular model, color, size etc and prints out a label and applies it to the phone. During that same brief time, it reads the serial number, IMEI etc on the box and adds it to the carriers system.
After that, it is then placed back onto a pallet with other phones and then sent to the actual carrier sorting facility to make it's way to you! So even if you are not getting your phone for a month or two, they will still assign it a location code because it has to have a label assigned to it. It very well could change when they start direct shipping after pre-orders are done.

Hey all,
Has anyone else seen movement on the 7 Plus Jet Black (either size)? I pre-ordered a 256GB JB 7 Plus right after release on Friday, and my card was charged around 4:30pm yesterday. My status now shows order is "sent to warehouse for shipment". Surely there are others...it's not like Verizon has only one single JB 7 Plus to ship. If it helps, I'm in Philadelphia.
Edit: I don't yet have a tracking number, just a charge and change in status. On My Verizon, my shipping date disappeared (was originally 10/12). Ordered at 3:15AM via phone.

Do a forum search on here of your location number and see if anyone in the past has had that same location number.
yay tracking for both this morning.
They never updated my shipping address, so that's cool thanks Verizon.
128 MB 7+ here. No movement yet. Ordered at about 7am EST on 9/9. Unfortunately had to cancel my 3:00am order due to a wrong shipping/billing address. I don't expect anything tomorrow, as my dates are all 9/23 but you never know!
Anyone know where Location Code 0423101 is located? I'm located in Cleveland.

check your myverizon account. the same thing happened to me but my account shows it shipped and that it will arrive 9/16.
I also had a charge but no shipping verification. I still think we will see it sometime today/tomorrow morning.
I got a reply from FEDEX. Per the instructions from Verizon they have to make one delivery attempt before the package can be held for pickup. I was told I could pick it up from 6pm to 7pm Friday evening or 9am-5pm Saturday.
I'm leaving a note tomorrow with a signature and tracking number saying let it at the door.
My package moved away. It was about 40 mins away and is now almost 1.5 hours away or further. No idea why, but it left the state.
Go back to the first post in this thread and print out the preauthorization sheet. A normal note probably wont work.
[doublepost=1473946552][/doublepost]No update here I ordered a 128GB + JB on 9/09 at 2:20am CST. Still no charge or anything still says processing.
