You're not. I did as well. I say did because my shipping somehow disappeared from their website. I have the 128 GB jet black.
Mine still says 9/23
Ordered on 9/9 and finally got charged today and got a text saying I'll get another text with shipping info when it's shipped
Very seriously considering cancelling my order (no movement, supposed to ship 10/5) & reserve through Apple and just pick it up in-store. BUT, considering the nearest Apple Store is 4 hours way in Kansas City, I just want to be sure I'll get what I'm expecting...
1) is it guaranteed what I reserve online will be available when I arrive at the store?
2) Can I pay for Verizon's pricing rather than the Apple pricing (Verizon's monthly device payment, not Apple's with Care Plan/etc.)?
3) What all do I need with me when I get to the store (Apple ID, Verizon info, etc.)?
4.) Also - would I be able to put a down payment up front on the phone (Ex: $100, 200) to lower monthly cost?

Apple is in fact doing carrier payments, confirmed by multiple people in Reddit iphone7/7+ megathread, yes they do reserve it for you and send you a confirmation. And if you do Verizon's monthly payment all you pay up front is activation and tax, so less than $100. But no down payment really, they do fixed rate based on the capacity you chose.
All you'll need is a payment method, cash, credit or debit.
Nope, unfortunately I have 10/26 for both of my phones (one order) 128gb 7+ Silver and 128gb 7+ MB...Hoping that I don't have to wait an entire 5 weeks...
What state are you in? Same order 7plus 256GB, JB. Received confirmation email at 3:28 eastern time (9/9/16) with ship date of 9/28. No movement. I'm in Maryland.
This is my first time posting here at Macrumors. I have been viewing this forum for quite some time. Anyways, I pre-ordered my 7+ JB 128GB on 9/9 at 12:28AM PST and had an initial shipment date of 10/5, however just last week it jumped to 10/12. I have been looking at the inventories for the apple stores around my area, and it seems like they have a few in stock (Rose Gold/Silver) everyday. I am thinking if I should just cancel my order with Verizon and just reserve it from the apple store.
I have always received my iphone on launch day except for this year. This was also my first time preordering from Verizon. Bad experience indeed, will never order from them again.

So, I did a reserve in store just after midnight this morning and received confirmation from apple. I then canceled my online order with Verizon at 7 this morning and went to apple at noon and picked up my 7+ 128 silver. The nice thing was I able to do my 2 year contract and pay $450 for the phone with tax and keep my old phone. I have 3 lines staggered on my account, so upgrading again next year won't be an issue. I originally had a 10-19 ship date and was going to have to be on that payment plan, so this worked out better for me.
I know! Its crazy! I'm super annoyed that I don't have a phone yet, but I'm even more mad on behalf of everyone (including yourself) who ordered on 9/9 right at the preorder start or shortly after who STILL don't have phones and not just JB orders. Thats absolutely ridiculous! I hope your date gets bumped up somehow.
What did you order?
No email confirmation to speak of yet. Ordered around 8am EST on 9/9. iPhone 7+Plus Black 128GB. Washington, DC.
My date has been missing since 10am this morning. 9/16 , 10am est, 7+, MB, 256 w/ estimation of 10/5
1) I've had ZERO movement. UGH
2) I haven't heard of anyone who has a JB+ yet...either that or I'm not paying much attention since I'm on the lookout for 256 MBs to start showing up... :/

YES!!! Thank you!
Once I was done with Apple I went across the street here in LA and traded my phone to Verizon. He gave me a receipt with the $650 promo as proof it went through.
It was a corporate store.

Any consensus on what the disappearing delivery date/order status means on the website? One of my phones still has the status of "Your order is currently being processed. Please check back later." and a delivery date of 10/26 (Silver 7+, 128gb), the other's used to be exactly the same, but now has disappeared (Matte Black 7+ 128gb)
JUST GOT CHARGED!! Well attempt to charge, something's wrong with my card, they won't cancel my order right? Until I can get it sorted out right?
For reference I ordered a Rose Gold 7 128gb on 9/11 around 11pm est and got an original delievery date of 10/5
