You can't really trust anything that employees say.

1) Corporate stores didn't know their stock until late Thursday.

2) They're not allowed to tell you

3) I can see local retailers not getting any but CORPORATE STORES will get at least 10 or so.

That being said my 256gb 7+ MB is still processing with a delivery of 9/23. My two 32gb 7+MB are still processing with 10/5 delivery

But I'm the first in line at my Verizon store lol so I'll cancel all my pre orders once I get my 3 phones

Best of luck. Is that in a mall? They actually let you inside this time of the night?

I've kind of resigned to the fact that I'll probably not have it until next week. I'm prepared when it comes, got the case, a holster, and my car dock, just missing one thing.

I ordered 9/9 and after not being able to get to the order screen until 3:15am I received my confirmation email at 3:24 for the Matte Black 7+ 256GB. Status of processing has been there the whole time with a ship date of 9/23. First time I preordered at launch time and not gotten the prelaunch date. Has anybody heard of any shipping notifications for the 256gb?
I ordered the same model at the same time as you, I just got my shipping notification and they shipped it out 2nd day but somehow it's not scheduled to arrive till Tuesday. WTF VZW?

Little shops are the local retailers. The ones in the mall are usually corporate. Something like a Best Buy mobile is an authorized retailer not a corporate carrier store

Well idk lol, husband is there sleeping in his car haha. Apparently he read that they were going to have some didn't say how many or anything and if they wanted a plus then be the first in line basically. Im just worried that something will go wrong in the system and my pre order will be canceled and then no phone lol

Look at it this way. There is no point in worrying you're eventually going to get your phone since you have pre orders on standby. If your husband gets lucky and the store has them in stock then you'll get your phone as soon as they open. If there are none at the store then no harm was done lol he just lost some sleep. If the phones are there then nothing's going to go wrong when he's holding the phones in his hand he can call Verizon and cancel all the processing pre orders or the sales rep will cancel them for you.

I know, I just have a love/hate relationship with iPhone launch days. I always want it the first day but never seem to be able to get it haha. We were seriously refreshing the page every second as soon as pre orders started and immediately showed sep 28. Im an apple fan here, I get jealous when I cant have a phone everyone is smashing and throwing around lol

Delivery/ship date of 9/23

Since preorder day to now, been stuck on still processing :(

I guess I really won't get it until next week :(

Was hoping for a bump release date to today (launch day) but I guess not :(

What size were they? I'm actually hoping that my order doesn't change from processing to shipping within the next 3 hours lol. Then I have to do the whole restocking thing but w.e 8am just needs to come.

Typically the sign will say 'authorized retailer' under the Verizon logo on outside of building

Well I woke up early to get ready to hit the line at the store and my Gold 128 plus with a ship date of 9/28 shows shipped UPS ground on 9/15. Tracking number isn't doing anything yet so I don't know where it's coming from yet but I should soon. I was shocked it's not on Fedex, this is a first for ups.

I was told by a VZW rep that if you don't open the box they will not charge a restocking fee.

Husband wants to go wait at the verizon store, our phones still say processing and delivery by the 28th. You guys think its worth it?
Same issue here but not bothering. We'll just wait since it sounds like you need to camp out to really get what you want. Good luck though if he tries!
