Carrier iPhone 7/7+ Verizon Pre-Order Thread

Ordered online on 9/9. Original ship date of 9/16 for the 7+ Matte Black 128gb. Now my ship date is 10/5 changed last night for some reason. My friend ordered the same phone on the 11th and he got his tracking number at 12:08 am eastern time last night. I am not happy with this at all right now. Total bull crap.
The whole thing is screwed up. I ordered my phone 128 7+ MB and my wife's 128 7 Gold at 2:14am Central. No movement.
My friend ordered his 128 7+ MB on 9/12, no joke, and it is out for delivery. Where is the logic?
I feel like they're focusing on single orders rather than multiple orders in one. Not fair. I feel ya. I'm waiting in 2 JB 7+

Enjoy!!!!
Preordered a Jet Black 128 GB Plus at 3:28 EST and just found out today Verizon had canceled my preorder after days of me trying to figure out why my order does not show in my account. Apparently you cannot upgrade a phone via their website if you are not the account owner. Although I am not the account owner, I am an account manager but my order was declined today after I found this out. Verizon is making me go to the back of the line and I now have an expected delivery date of October 26th for a matte black version. Absolutely disgusting how Verizon treats their customers.
Original order: 128GB Gold 7+ ordered 9/9 @ 11:30AM EST. Original delivery date 9/28.
CC charged @ ~9PM last night, received tracking information at 5:55AM today. No update with my tracking number.
Just reached out to UPS and they said "Unfortunately our system does not contain any tracking information for your shipment. If you have not already done so, please contact the shipper to verify your shipment was sent as scheduled. Sometimes if the packages has not been shipped out the system will not provide us any tracking information."
I do not think I will be getting it today

You both ordered from Verizon? And are you sure his is out for delivery and it's not the trade-in box?
Yep, both from Verizon and he got charged the taxes for his phone on Wed. night so yeah its the phone. I seriously think that anyone that ordered 2 got the shaft. I am fine waiting, but when there is no logic to the process I get annoyed.
Not me. I got 2 7+ JB and confirmation email was received at 2:25 CST with a 9/28 delivery. I was really hoping I was going to get it on launch.
That's the date we got too. Hopefully it gets bumped up to next week.
This isn't new information this has happened to me previously. So I placed two separate orders with Verizon, same account, but separate orders, and both are out for delivery today.
Just to keep folks informed.
Ordered at 2:15 am Central (I live in Texas)
iPhone 7 plus, 256 GB, Matte Black
Initial information: Delivery by 23 Sept, no confirmation email (which was odd)
Current status: Charged around 8pm central yesterday (15 Sept). Verizon site had my FedEx tracking information early this morning (around 5:30 am central). Delivery date will be Tuesday (20 Sept)
Seems like poor coordination between Apple and Verizon is all. Pain in the butt, but I'm getting my phone fairly quick. Just wish Apple was more forthcoming with how much will be given to a carrier and that the carrier could look a historical data for locations to determine how much product should be in an area for pre-order.

I'm an account member, not an owner, and I preordered without a problem...
I think you need a better camera to take a picture of that awesome camera!

Samsies - shows up on my account.
No I know for next year... beyond ridiculous. There is no reason that this should be the case.
Just letting the community know what my two hour argument with customer service consisted of. They told me "our system read that you were trying to start a new line (which I clearly wasn't, I selected "upgrade me phone) and therefore it registered under your name and not the account owners, so we canceled your preorder."
I posted last night showing changes in my order. I got the 7+ Matte 256GB on 9/9 with my email confirmation at 3:15am EST . My cc was charged last nigh and I just got tracking number maybe an hour ago.
I just read in reddit several people received jet blacks early yesterday and tons of orders got bumped up to sooner shipping dates. I think its the influx of people who are cancelling orders and trying their hand at picking up a phone in a local store. Thus the others patient pre-orderers receive the benefits
Amen to that.Someone posted this in the T-Mobile thread....I was dying....lol

OMG People, It's just a phone. Six months from now there will be another one, and then next September probably an all new model. There are people who went to bed last night without food or a real place to live. There are people in war torn countries wondering if they'll ever be able to see their family again, there are people who are battling cancer and other deadly illnesses. Perspective - a little perspective. Of course I'd like my new iPhone 7+ 128 Jet Black, but if it doesn't get here soon, I'll be OK! If you're really at the edge, here's a number you can call to chat
Call 1-800-273-8255 - Available 24 hours everyday - its the suicide hotline. Perhaps they can help.
Yes I was up at 2:00 am in NY waiting till I could order at 3am, yes I placed my order at 3:04 expecting I'd get one of the first phones, but come on - it's just a phone. I have a 6S+ that probably less then a year old - I'll live.
In the mean time, spend today loving your family and being grateful that you're biggest problem is a stupid phone.
