Color, size? I ordered another on the 16th but ship date says 10/26
That's exactly what mine says. Preordered a silver and a matte black 7+ on 9/16, ship date 10/26 "Your order is currently being processed. Please check back later."

My UPS number stills shows delivery date unavailable, but I called UPS and they said it's scheduled for tomorrow.

It arrive in Indy saturday morning (where I live), so not sure why it's taking so long to get to a delivery truck.

Verizon seems to have messed up the labeling so that no delivery date shows, and you can't divert to a store (even via MyChoice). annoying. 128GB 7 MB (ordered 9:30AM 9/9)
I was in the same boat, but I called my local hub this morning. Even though my tracking info has yet to update (and I've never been given a delivery date), the lady assured me that it was on the truck and out for delivery this morning.

FedEx doesn't deliver to residential addresses on Mondays. At least not in Utah.
From FedEx:
Delivery days and times vary by service type:
  • FedEx Express®: Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (and Saturday with Saturday Delivery special handling option)
  • FedEx Ground®: Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
  • FedEx Home Delivery®: Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
*Please note, specific delivery times may vary by location, especially for rural areas.

Did you get yours coming yet? I'm in IA and mine is coming shipped yesterday/today...have tracking number but no info yet. This year Verizon is shipping with UPS to me. Every other year it has been fedex. Anyways I have had fedex deliver on Mondays.
Tracking number from VZW for almost 24 hours and it isn't registering in UPS's system? Weird.
For those who have recovered shipping. How long after receiving a tracking number will it show up in UPS tracking system?
Verizon generates the tracking numbers in house. You won't get any tracking info until UPS actually scans it into their possession. This is typically 24 hrs, but longer if VZW generated it over the weekend. I'd expect it on Tuesday (Wednesday at the latest if you're unlucky).

Just got a shipping number for FedEx. It says not found. I thought I read somewhere there is a trick for this. Anyone?
Search the thread for "reference number" and you should see relevant results.

iPhone7+ 256gb Silver ordered 9/11 with 10/5 ship date: still no movement today :(

The people with a similar range from the apple store are seeing shipments today though, here's hoping the same will happen with Verizon orders soon.

Want to hear something funny. I got my rose gold 128gb 7 plus on Friday around 10:45am. Saturday my husband and I went to a truck show in Indianapolis Indiana. Decided to stay at a hotel despite having to park his truck 2 blocks away from the hotel because his truck was to tall for the parking garages.

Well we walked down to check on his truck decided to grab a bite to eat and while walking back took a video of the horse and carriage to send to my oldest daughter. I had my phone in my hand and was just admiring the city when I fell off a curb. I broke my iPhone 7 plus. Shattered the screen.

Spent 2 hours on the phone with Apple Care because they couldn't find it in the system. Finally found it and he said he was just going to send me a new device and all I had to pay was $29.99. But when he tried to bill me it wanted to charge me $349.99 because the system was saying my phone was out of warranty.

So yesterday after going back to the truck show we stopped at a Apple Store there in Indiana to see if they could just replace the screen. They said they weren't doing any screen replacements because the phone was so new BUT they did have my exact phone in stock and would replace it.

So thankfully I walked out with a new phone. Bad news I fractured my right Fibula bone lol.

Ok, so if I do the online reservation and go into the apple store, I can do VZW upgrade plan, but how do I trade in my phone?

I'm sure this is just a glitch, but the Verizon site still has my original info for my preorder, but the Verizon app says order details not available, don't they get the info from the same place? A little strange...

I would love if mine came today rather than tomorrow. I'll have to go to the hub regardless, but new phone!!

EDIT: Your tracking info says nothing at all? Or just doesn't say out for delivery?

In that case I'll keep my eye out Wednesday! I haven't been overly lucky so far...

I received the initial scan in Memphis, then an arrival/departure scan at a smaller hub, then an arrival scan at my local hub this morning.. After that, nothing.

That is not true. Apple's website itself tells you that you can finance via apple or your carrier.
[doublepost=1474300028][/doublepost]
Here is a screenshot for proof

Try it out and let me know how it works. Very curious to see as I chatted with another Apple Specialist and they said they do not do Verizon carrier financing in store or online.

That's what I have as well. Initial scan in Memphis, departure from there, and arrive in Indy on Saturday AM.

Nothing since, as well as showing no delivery date available.

How did Verizon screw up the labels this much!?

Where do you find order details in the Verizon app? Whenever I search for orders it just directs me to the website

Let me know your results! I have chatted with a couple Apple specialists and they said they can't do Verizon carrier financing in store or online. But they could be wrong and the might be able to do it instore!

Good question! I suspect it's not unrelated to the fact that I've ALWAYS received iPhones via FedEx Overnight. This time though, I'm getting it via UPS Ground?! My gut tells me it's a cost-cutting measure, though correlation doesn't always equal causation.

I understand that (as much as I hate the thought of Verizon increasing it's profits even more), but making the label so delivery date doesnt snow, can't divert to a hub, etc is asinine.

I just wasn't paying attention. My foot slid off the curb and I'm guessing my foot slid in my sandal and caused my ankle to roll which then caused my other ankle to do the same and down I went phone screen face down on concrete.

P.S. The Fibula bone is the bone on the outer part of the ankle :p

Whatever it saved them in shipping costs, they probably spent in customer service hours with chat and call-ins and disappointed customers in the process.

My husbands 256gb matte black 7 plus still says estimated ship date 09/23. No charges to our card either. So hopefully it gets delivered this Friday or at least shipped by this Friday.

How did you purchase your phone? Paid it all up front or Apples upgrade program?
