Carrier iPhone 7/7+ Verizon Pre-Order Thread

Yay! It finally happened guys! Verizon officially screwed me over. Despite the fact that I ordered the 128+ MB only SIXTEEN minutes after launch, Verizon chose to ship that phone to countless people who ordered after me, even by more than an hour. Great job NOT understanding a simple principle like FCFS.

I will enjoy seeing others get theirs, even though Verizon stepped on my back to get to them.

Yeah people who ordered at 9 AM on pre order day are getting their phones shipped, but I ordered at 4 AM and both of mine still say processing. What a joke of a system haha. I'm in Michigan if that helps. Ordered a 128GB 7+ MB and a 32GB 7+ Rose Gold.

Curious, see some of you got overnight expedited shipping, mine is 2 day fedex... What did you have to do to get that, and how much did it cost? ...I know it's too late for me now, but next year I would like to know.

Mine has always said deliver by in the email confirmation but when I would click the check order status it always said expected ship date. Everyone I've talked to that pre ordered has been the same way too.

Anybody got a 32GB 7+ Matte Black being shipped today?

LOL. Maybe 7 people, that's all I saw get movement on their 32GB+. My "deliver by" date for mine switched to "expected ship date" going to raise hell to a poor CSR when I get to work.

Just received payment confirmation email from Verizon and checked my bank account; charged at 7:37pm Central. preorder.verizonwireless.com is showing that it was sent to the warehouse with an expected ship date of 9/15. Courier and tracking number fields are blank. Here are my details:

7
Matte Black
128gb
Ordered instore (Chicago) 9/9 10:30am Central

Original Confirmation Email from 9/9:
Order Location: M146501
Order Date: 09/09/2016
Deliver By: 09/23/2016
Click to expand...

Received shipping confirmation at 6am central - about 11 hours after being charged. Mine is shipping UPS. Still no information on UPS about delivery date and all that. My instore receipt does say "free 2nd day shipping" so I might get mine Monday (no complaints).

I agree 100%--I'm in the exact same boat. While I'm happy for those who get their phones, Verizon just did an awful job with this launch. There has to be a better way to run a railroad.

Had you been on these forums, you would have seen that verizon was taking orders through the app as early as 2:20AM ET, so you ordered rather late compared to the number of orders that got in already.
 
The irony of staying up late is that of all the preorders (2 iPhones and 2 watches) the only thing that will arrive today is my wife's watch which she has absolutely no waiting for. Oh well.
