I can confirm this!! Just did it on Wednesday!!
But I just saw on the home page that they are no longer allowing it since yesterday? Guess I just slipped in there in the nick of time

Now that Verizon has updated the order to "sorry we lied, and we have no idea when your order is going to ship", does anyone think Verizon will offer compensation for failing to meet shipping dates, like Best Buy & Target?
Did you get to that page by first selecting your phone # in My Verizon, and then a trade-in option? I guess I don't see the option because none of the lines are in a new DPP.
any 10/12 getting charged????
I did. Mine shipped yesterday.
Same phone for me, same message on my order.Ok now I'm officially enraged

Just want to update everyone. My phone has shipped. Should be here Tuesday. My original ship by date was 10/12. I ordered the 7+ 128 GB Rose Gold. I've never been so excited to get an email in my life. Especially after my CC was originally declined and Verizon reran it.
Shipped and scheduled for delivery on Tuesday 9/27 via FedEx
I just got off the phone with Verizon. The rep told me "oh that's odd, it was supposed to ship yesterday." He told me that it was in the warehouse being prepared for shipment, and that I should get a confirmation email by 2 PM today and gave me a location code as well as a new order number. I'm confused about the order number he gave me through since it's only five digits. Where do I use this to look information up about the order?
EDIT: I just realized that the order number he gave me is the same one that's in my email. I don't understand why we have these since we use the confirmation to see updates.

Nope. I think us with November dates will probably see movement end of September early October. So within the next week or 2.
Nope,

Estimated ship date 11/02
No updates at all yet.
holy cow, chill out people. It's just a phone and its not that much different than last years model. Apple likes to get everyone worked up so they can sell more phones. If you put this new phone in a case most people can't even tell you have a new phone unless you tell them. You Yell at Verizon but you should be yelling at Apple they control the pipeline. Everybody gets so caught up in this. I have one on order with a 9/28 date and if it gets here fine but if its delayed no big deal, life will go on.
I think we're getting confused bc Apple will not match the trade in credit in-house. I think they tell them "no" as in apple won't take the phone in for $650 directly, it has to be taken to VZW. Just to clarify. (That's what it sounds like to me)
After 53 minutes on the phone with Verizon this morning, they told me that my 128 gb JB 7+ and 128 gb MB 7 was delayed from 9/23 to 9/30. They continuously blamed Apple for delay. She claimed she called apple to get the new ship date (which I'm not entirely sure I believe). After speaking with a supervisor about compensation she offered me a $20 bill credit which I explained was not enough, so she offered an additional $50. So $70 credit for the delay. Not bad, but not near as much as the target and Best Buy offers for $100 per device they delayed. Still pretty pissed, but not a thing I can do now. Not like I can go somewhere else quicker.
Basically what VZ told me: If you didn't select the option to trade in when you preordered, you have to wait until you get your 7 and it's active on the account. Then, you hit trade in old device and it recognizes you now have the 7 for the promo credit.
This is information I received last night, but my CC still hasn't been charged and no changes on the order status, still processing for 9/23...hopefully we get something today then!
