Carrier iPhone 7/7+ Verizon Pre-Order Thread

Eeeek!!!!
UPS experienced a mechanical problem on one flight and a weather delay on another flight containing iPhones. The cargo was redirected, but not in time to avoid minor delays in residential deliveries of these packages. None of the phones were returned to their origin or routed on extraneous legs of the journey to their final destination.
We are still investigating the reason for the erroneous tracking notices. When the packages receive their next physical scan at a UPS facility, the ups.com tracking information will be updated to reflect the next planned delivery date. UPS is working to expedite these deliveries as rapidly as possible. The updated delivery date may be improved and another status update posted. To be informed of latest status, consumers can request text or email notification by selecting the “Notify me with Updates” feature when tracking their shipment on ups.com.

Hope you guys all get your phones. I just got mine literally an hour ago and am pretty pleased with it so far.
7+ 128 GB JB 9/9 email conf. 3:24 Pacific. 9/23 delivery
Still nothing. No change to anything. No status change on the 3 separate order tracking sites. No CC charge. Not a damn thing. I'm fairly certain nothing will change between now and 10/05.

Getting annoyed that my 128 JB+ is moved back a week to 10/12 and people order after are getting theirs. 1:26 MST confirmation on 9/9. Verizon customer service is being less than helpful.
Just picked up my black 7Plus 256gb using the istocknow site and apple store app to purchase with in-store reservation. I can confirm that you are able to choose "verizon 24 month payment plan" when at the apple store.
I purchased my phone full retail price with the apple store app. When I went into the store, they did a return, refunded the card, and I was able to choose the 24month verizon payment plan.
OH......and UPS truck was there unloading TONS of little brown boxes. Wonder if any Jet black's are arriving????

Same thing here, but mine was 2:25 CST. They still say it is going out today.
This was the first year I didn't pre-order (at all) and the first year since 5S that I didn't pre-order using Verizon's site. I used to think it was a clever way to order.
So, I literally walked into an Apple store on Saturday morning (Alpharetta, GA) and bought a 7+ 256GB Matte Black. I was the 2nd guy in line.
Then, on Wednesday I got my wife's 7+ 256GB Gold from an in store location (Lenox Mall, Atlanta). No line, had a reservation.
I couldn't get a good ship date or a clear understanding how the new phone would be billed to me from Verizon's site on pre-order night, so I bailed (after staying up until 3am). I see lots of people still waiting on phones who pre-ordered really early (which sucks). I don't think I'll be using Verizon's site anymore after this experience and seeing how it has played out for others. Sharing this experience not to brag that I got a phone relatively easy, but to compel others to try Apple retail locations / reservations or just use Apple itself to order in the future. Seeing how they yanked stock from the carriers was enough for me to realize how Apple is doing business and prioritizing themselves in the delivery process.
feel the same way as you.......pretty ridiculous my order kept getting pushed back. So i ditched the jet black for matte black. Then canceled the matte black because my local store had 1 available and was able to snatch that up.
Now I'm waiting for another to be in stock to cancel my wifes order and just pick hers up in store.
Got my tracking number for my 7 plus around 11am EST this morning and it still isn't working. How long has it taken for the people that got charged/ preparing to ship last night? Already got the shipping email from Verizon and my Verizon show it has been shipped by ups. Hoping I don't have to wait all weekend to track this thing
I also think it doesn't help how crazy this cycle was. You have to remember, preorders were up almost 4x over last time.. in sure everyone is in a frenzy to get more orders.
My confirmation is a minute after yours and my ship date is 10/12. Originally 10/5
|Update|

UPS attempted delivery at 3:33 pm today. I'm used to them showing up past 6pm.
I'm going to their local place about 6:30 tonight, with a book, and wait for the carrier to show up. They are open until 7:00 pm.
FedEx delivered mine around 1 PST. I happen to have Fridays off normally so it was happenstance I guess that I worked out
1PM beats the Deliver by 8PM commitment time they had on the delivery
7+ 32GB MB
Ordered 9/9
EDD 10/5
Still processing. I'm hoping tomorrow is the lucky of movement!
Same here!! Credit card charged, had a problem and fixed it, called Verizon and they ran it again and the charge went through but no other updates as of yet and my ship date of 10/5 is back on my Verizon

The same thing happened to me, and I got it straightened out this morning and my ship date went back to 10/5 so I'm hoping that's wrong and Verizon's servers just keep processing as normal, I'm hoping I wake up to a tracking number tomorrow, Sunday the latest
