I think you are doing pretty well since you ordered 2 days after the first pre-order day. You got a better date than I did!
Got a tip for us?

All I want to know is how in the world did I get a 10/26 shipping date when I got confirmation email at 12:19 am 9/9 JB+128gb makes no sense at all this will be the last preorder through verizon just horrible. Truly happy that you guys are getting some movement at least.
I agree that they need to do something different. It seems with each new product/color they should know it's going to be the "gotta have" product and they should prepare for that. I realize they had to get in step with those that are on the plans that allow them to buy a new phone each year so that kind of determines when they need to make the new models available. But I also think they need to do something to better meet the demands. They know we are fiends, they should just give us our damn phones.
I got the same thing. I hear people ordering before and after me with a much better delivery date. I keep checking Verizon through the website and live chat hoping to get a better date and it is stuck on 10/26. I would like to know what conditions needed to be met before they approved our phones.

Have you tried the link on My Verizon to activate the phone?
Same thing here, they have told me for 2days it was shipping today and now nothing. Just got off the phone and they can't tell me anything but it is still processing. They say it is still going to ship today, lol I said it is 10:30 pm either it has been shipped or it isn't. They have given me a 15.00 credit and I will wait to see what happens in the morning.
Finally got charged

Leave a note on your door with your signature on it. You can also ask that they leave it with a neighbor.

I just have to say that as a nurse it's cracking me up that everyone is referring to the phones shipping as "seeing movement".
Well my ship date has come and gone and no shipment took place. Charlie on vz chat told me to call in tomorrow and request overnight shipment. He assured me they have all phones now. Smh I would be at Apple when they opened but they don't have what I want...frustrating
I preordered a Jet Black 128GB iPhone 7 Plus through the Verizon website. I received my email confirmation at 3:18 AM on 09/09/16. The emailed confirmation showed a delivery date of 10/05/16. When checking the order status the next day using the link in the email confirmation, it showed a shipping date of 09/23/16. My credit card was ran today(09/23/16), but I haven't received any shipping information yet.
I got charged a few hours ago, no notification. Just happened to be checking my account to balance my checking.
Spoke with Verizon today on the phone, I went through 3 levels of management until I got a manager over east coast customer service. He said Apple saved face because their iPhone upgrade members, preorders messed up. So they put those preorders ahead of everyone else, the extra phones they used to fill the void for those members were the iPhone reserved for carriers.
So basically Verizon AT&T & Tmobile etc all got hundreds of thousands of customers giving them backlash when in reality Apple just screwed everyone.

I've seen it range from 12-24 hours after CC charge,
You can go read the posts for Apple pre-orders and see they are also not getting their phones any quicker than we are. I read an article somewhere that discussed how the phones were divvied up and it came down to percentages based on current customer base and expected sales vs available stock on-hand. The phone orders that are getting filled the quickest are the colors that are not as popular such as Rose Gold. Everyone is screwed on the jet black. However, according to the news, production for those phones was increased and orders will be filled sooner rather than later. We chose to go through our phone carrier therefore we accepted that they are a secondary retailer, Apple would obviously get first dibs on their own product.
Next time I'll purchase directly through Apple, there seems to be an obvious delay when purchasing through a carrier.
I gave up on my pre order and cancelled it. I saw a Matte Black 7+ 128 GB available for pick up at my local Apple Store. I rushed and grabbed so I'll be picking it up in the afternoon.
JB 7+ 128 confirmation email rec'd 9/9 at 3:14 AM EST - my original ship date was 9/23 and my credit card was charged tonight. The pre-order site has changed to "sent to the warehouse for shipment."
I have a ship date of 11/9.
I can pick up a 7+ MB 128 tomorrow at an apple store.
Thing is, it's 2 1/2 hours away. What should I do?
