Anyone in California get charged TWO taxes? One for CA local sales tax and one for CA state sales tax. I just saw on my receipt that came with my phone. I love how this was listed no where else on my confirmation email.
This whole time I have been trying to see what I even paid for since Verizons confirmation email is a mix of Upgrade fees and device payment amounts and then at the bottom is what is due.
That's double taxation. I would call Verizon and ask them to pick one.

Anyone else have a 10/5 ESD that has had no change in order status? I preordered a JB 128 7+ on 9/9, order confirmation about 2:45 am, estimated ship date is 10/5. I'm seeing some others who have been charged, received texts, or had their orders shipped for this configuration ordered early on 9/9. So am I the only one with a 10/5 ESD who has seen no movement or change in their order status? Hey Verizon, 10/5 is only 4 days away!
You can't really go by the change in order status, that won't be updated until they have the tracking number from the carrier they use. I had a simultaneous text message and charge to my card. The text message alerted me that my order had been sent for shipping and so I checked my bank account and sure enough, it was charged. I think you had to choose to be texted when you placed the order, it was so freaking late here I don't remember all the details of pre-order night. Watch the account for the card you used to order, they cannot charge you until they are shipping.

I ordered 7+ MB 128 on 9/19 with 11/9 expected delivery....hoping it comes much sooner but the 128 7+ doesn't seem to be moving as fast as some other models!
I think you will find that the order date gets pushed up dramatically and you'll see it before the end of October. Just watching all the orders here it seems very few have shipped on the noted date. Hang in there! Mine went from 10/26 to 10/5.

Nothing on my end. Was assured I was moved to the front of the line and I see movements on 10/12 delivery dates and I still have no CC charge 7+ MB 32GB
I really don't think it means you will be put in the very front. From watching the posts about "front of the line" it seems to mean you will be put in with the next batch.
This is how I picture it: Apple sends a bunch of phones and they are all marked for particular customers as per pre-order and even after pre-order. When the phones arrive at Verizon they are assigned to the person that purchased it, those that canceled get tossed into a pile (figuratively speaking) and then the people on the wait list, including front of the line people, get those. It's my opinion, no one has confirmed this, that you go in the front of the people on the wait list for that shipment.
The reason I think it works this way is because Verizon can't order individual phones from Apple, they probably have to order in batch sizes and those are determined by the amount of Verizon customers that have phones and are likely to upgrade. It's all a numbers game and you are holding one small number. There's no way customer service reps would have this information, if they did they would be able to wreak havoc with the ordering process. I'm sure it's only the purchasing and shipping departments that know what's coming in and those people do not have contact with customers.
Years ago when I worked in retail and Playstations, Tickle Me Elmos, and such were in hot demand with limited quantities, that was how the process worked.
