You can reserve using Apple reservation link it says for upgrade program but if they ask at store just say you don't want credit check and they'll log you into verizon for the plan.
You need more then one Apple ID and the person to go with you I had to go on 2 sep days for 2 phones their sticklers on that
Not sure if u are eligible for 650 offer that's direct from vz stock. You should call on that one too vz first.
Apple has stock but you'll need to get on early like 1201 am for the pluses it works just a bit of work to do it

One other piece of advice if you're in a busy Apple store area get the earliest appt you can because the waits stack up during the day
Agreed the Apple process was super easy vz was a joke no movement and no info. Never again for ordering through vz next year will be even worse.
Even if I'm going to return my phone and get on a payment plan, what's this apple reservation link
I'm not exactly sure as I deleted it but it's in this forum about 20 or 30 pages back I believe it's the one for upgrade stock but don't stress on that everyone is using it and it works
My phones have arrived, and this roller coaster is over!!! Here are my stats if it helps anyone:
ORDERED: 9/9 3:16am EST
PHONES: 7+ 128 MB and 7 128 MB
SHIPPING QUOTE: 9/23
CHARGED: 9/18 11:00am EST
TRACKING EMAIL: 9/19 11:30am EST
SHIPPED: 9/19 2:18pm EST (Memphis, TN)
DELIVERED: 9/21 1:30pm EST (Michigan)
LESSON LEARNED: Never order more than ONE phone per order.
*Tracking info never had a delivery date, which I have never seen in all my UPS dealings. I had to open a chat to have them investigate, because I had 4 other non-related UPS shipments scanned as "On Vehicle for Delivery" today, but the phones only said "Destination Scan" at my local hub.

Which payment plan? If your on the vz annual plan I think you need to go to them directly otherwise I would sell the phone pay off verizon and just get the new one at the Apple store if you didn't want to wait
The 11/2 ship by date has disappeared from the order page on My Verizon, for my 7+ 128 JB preordered on 9/9. It only says processing. Hope that means something. At least I'm not having to see that date which made me angry every time I check it, since my original date was 10/5.
I know the feeling. I've stayed up late to preorder every phone since the 3GS (AT&T, then switched to Verizon with the 4S). This is the first time ever that I havent had the new iPhone on launch day. pretty disappointed.
I am pretty happy with my apple watch 2 though
There are a bunch of ship by 9/23 guys with 7+ 128 GB JB phones that are seeing no movement whatsoever, myself included. I mean, it's 36 hours from 9/23. Certainly hoping I see something soon. Starting to get a pretty annoyed at seeing "processing" 15 times a day.
Agreed.
I've held off calling Verizon reps since I know they can't help. I gave in and called, just wanted to make sure my order wasn't cancelled or something crazy like that. They quoted me a completely different date than what shows when I check the order status online. They quoted me the 10/5 shipment date that is in the e-mail from the original order.
I really need to stop obsessing and stalking these forums for updates and comments. Just makes the wait worse. #firstworldproblems #Isuckatwaiting #magnetbath
I honestly don't believe all of us with 9/23 dates are going to see any movement by 23rd. It's just doesn't seem possible for all the 23rd pre orders to be filled by the 23rd.. especially after seeing no movement as of yet.
I just got a tracking number. Ups ground. Tracking number doesn't work yet but it says it shipped yesterday?
I don't think anyone with a jet black 9/23 shipping day is going to be getting it on 9/23 there would've been someone by now with shipping info. All of the expected dates probably disappeared so they could change them to a later date. LOL
2 128 gb 7 plus. One rg one mb. Email confirmation 8:18 on 9/9 with an expected ship date of 9/23. When I checked status up until this morning, when my cc was charged, it said expected to ship by 9/28. This morning it said ship by 9/23 to match the first confirmation date. Just got an email to verify my account email address so I decided to check the order again and the tracking info was there saying it was shipped yesterday. Ups hasn't updated it yet so I'm thinking the label was created yesterday and ups picked it up today maybe.
Am I the only poor slob with a 10/26 delivery date?!? (Yes I know I'm whining)
7+ JB 9/9 3:19 am EST
7+ JB 9/9 3:19 am EST
