I ordered the exact same time as you, and as badly as I want my phone, the website clearly says "expected ship date" of 9/23. Even if that were "deliver by" you still wouldn't have an argument. Verizon owes you nothing.
Got a tip for us?

Carrier iPhone 7/7+ Verizon Pre-Order Thread

Been following this forum for a while so I decided to put my input in. I originally ordered a iPhone 7 JB 128gb on 9/12 at night and got a ship date of 10/19. As it's been a week and still no movement, I decided to go to my local Verizon store and pick up a iPhone 7 MB 256gb and it was definitely worth it. They canceled my pre-order and took my iPhone 6 for the trade in promotion at the store.
After seeing so many reviews and photos of the JB getting scratches and looking like it was manhandled by a toddler with all the finger prints I'm definitely glad I went with MB instead. And I wanted 256gb anyway. The photos of the mb always look lighter then it is. When you see it in person its actually very black and looks very nice. I guess this is just my opinion but if you ordered a jet black and still waiting then maybe you should opt for the matte black.

I just ordered (today 9/20) a 256GB 7+ RG on Verizon website and have an estimated ship date of 11/02.
Dang. Parade = Rained on.
Sorry to crush your dreams. I am still holding out hope for this week. I feel like tons are cancelling preorders because they have found phones elsewhere. Fingers crossed that tonight is the night!!
Update: Received notice of having shipped on 9/19. Today, that was updated to estimated shipping on 9/20.
You might keep an eye on your local Corporate VZW store as they might get some before the 11/2 date. Never know...
Finally got my phone today at about 3:20! Iphone7 plus RG 128gb. After all the headache it's finally here! Still trying to get used to the size of it! And the home button! Ordered 10 min after the site went live on 9/9. Original delivery date was 9/16.
Did you see my reply earlier about the mic issue I was having? It turned out that Siri volume was low and I increased it and problem solved! BTW, I love the new home button! Glad I went with the plus
I have the exact same order that was placed at 630am CDT. No movement on mine either.
Don't believe those dates they're throwing out there. Mine was supposed to be shipped on the 28th, and I will have it in hand on the 22nd. I'm not complaning, just stating that they are shipping alot of phones early. JB is the one that might not ship too early.
Oh I didn't! That's so good! Now u shouldn't have any issues! I love how big the screen is and how much more I can see but I have little hands lol! I'm sure I will get used to it in a couple days! I'm glad my waiting game is over!
Well all I wanted to tell you a funny(ish) story about VZW after shipment. I ordered at 3:14am on the preorder date and made the mistake of ordering 2 phones in one order (won't do that again). One phone is a 7 128 in Gold and the other is a 7+ 128 in MB.
I received a charge (for both phones) and a tracking number on Sunday (9/18) and according to UPS the shipment was sent out yesterday 9/19. I then received a Tracking and Shipping email from VZW yesterday... which only showed the 7 as shipped! I was on vacation so I didn't worry too much about it, but I figured when I got home tonight I would chat with VZW and see why the email said they only shipped out one of the phones and to see where the other phone was. Chat was (unsurprisingly) not very helpful saying they had no idea and that I would need to call.
I called and I guess a lot of the wave of calls has died down because I got a rep on the phone almost immediately. They looked at the email that was sent and dove into the comments on my account. After explaining what I saw the rep said that according to my account she thinks both phones shipped, but she really wasn't sure because the email didn't match up. The called ended with her saying that I should let them know if I don't get both phones... like there was a chance I wouldn't.
While you may say, just look at the weight of the shipment and you can take and estimated guess as to if the box includes one or two phones... The shipment was sent UPS and the tracking number is only showing me location information (arrivals and departures) and no other information even though I have My Choice.
Just goes to show you the madness from VZW may not end when you get a charge and a tracking number. Since at this point there is no way to know if I have both phones coming or not, it will just be a surprise tomorrow when I open the box.

So glad it's over for you! Considering everything that happened with you, you only had to deal with another 4 days...
True! But the calling and being put on hold over and over and over for houuuuuurrrssss was enough for me!
The size is oddly not as bad, until I put it in my pocket. Maybe I should lady up and carry a purse.
Yea I don't carry a purse either! Girl jeans need bigger pockets lol!
I ordered my +7 around 7:15am CDT 9/9. I had no updates what so ever until a few minutes ago they finally charged my card! Now just waiting on the tracking info!
Card just charged for 128gb + mb. My order confirmation was emailed at 8:16 est on 9/9. shows that it will be shipped today, I'm hoping it gets delivered on Thursday!
