Carrier iPhone 7/7+ Verizon Pre-Order Thread

Stefanreals said:
Anybody know if any Jet Black models have shipped from Verizon? iPhone 7 Plus JB 128 for me. Ordered at 12:20AM PST got delivery date of 10/5 but my check order status says 10/26. Although every Verizon rep has told me I would expect it next week... Apple really dropped the ball this year..

Same exact stats for me. Still waiting.
 
Turns out there was an issue with my payment even though it is showing on my bank statement. Calling VZW now.

It's the same thing: Tracking, Track by Reference, enter your phone number.
 
I just went to check out the oct, 4-10 preorder thread and they are getting there cards charged while us 9/23 are getting nothing. Frustrating.

Someone had one where you put some digits then 2 zeros and then your location code.
Or was that one a fluke?

Fedex says you can use any number that is associated with your order. So definitely try the location code, preorder confirmation number, etc. I remember seeing that post and a few people after said none if worked for them. Just try any number that is associated with your order.

Ordered an iPhone 7 Plus Jet Black 256GB at 3:40 eastern time. Still waiting for Verizon to charge my credit card. I can't wait! I'm hoping they do it soon!! My delivery date went to expected ship date which is 9/28. PLEASE SHIP TONIGHT! PLEAAASSEEEEEE!!!! Hahaha
 
So for those of us who are pushed all the way out to 10/26 when can we realistically expect our phones? I ordered a MB 7+ 128gb. Because the ship by for that model is the current date for anyone who pre-orders right now it says 10/26/16 if you "fake" checkout

Try this:
1. After receiving an e-mail confirmation from Verizon about your order, note these two numbers:

  • Location
  • Order


2. Go to www.fedex.com/us/ and place your mouse cursor over 'Track', which is under 'Package/Envelope' and to the right of 'Ship' toward the top of the page. 5 options should pop up, but the one that you want is 'Track by Reference'. (Or you can just click here and go straight to the track by reference page

)

3. Under 'Enter reference information' you'll see Account number, Reference, Ship date, Destination country, and Destination postal code. You can leave the 'Account number' field blank. Under 'Reference', type in the Location number you noted earlier, place an underscore '(_)' after that number, then type up the order number right after it. It should all be grouped together, with no spaces. (Example: 1530701_837590287).

You can then leave the 'ship date' alone as it should be displaying today's date and will look for anything shipped +/- 15 days from that day.

'Destination country' is self-explanatory and 'Destination postal code' will be where you are having the package shipped to. Not the bill-to ZIP code.

4. Click 'Track' and you should be set! Keep in mind that you should probably wait a few hours after you place your order to check. It isn't instantaneous.

So my $.00 Verizon hold that has been on my account since 09/09 disappeared from my bank account. What does that mean?

thanks susan. it did work the 3rd time. I was partially freaking out that I switched the sim cards and put the original one back in so that's why it was having problems activating, but it was the right one and it worked the last time.

thanks again.

The sim doesn't have to activate when you do it this way as it is already active and assigned to your account/number. The process of pulling the new phones imei down is handled by a different server...normally, leaving the phone on while you switch the Sims works best.
 
I was just on the Verizon wireless site and noticed they have an offer for NO UPGRADE FEE today. Two days after they refused to waive the fee for me when I mistakenly thought the activation fee was the upgrade fee. Grrr. I am calling tomorrow and giving them a piece of my mind.
 
Order placed at 9/9 3:20am for a 128g Gold 7+
