You just ordered and it's shipping this week
[doublepost=1475602849][/doublepost]
That happened to me earlier

A few other people on here have ordered MB 7+ 256 within the last week and theirs are being shipped. Hoping for the same luck.

Good to know -- maybe mine will reappear. Truth be told, I almost hope they lose it. I went through Verizon for the trade-in, but their ship times are so slow that part of me would love to have a justification to just buy the damn thing from my local Apple store.
Mine says the same thing

I'm starting to wonder if things are haphazardly random.... I see no rhyme or reason to the order dates and ship dates...

I dont see any either. And really Im not stressing and realize its very much a FWP, but it would be nice if they looked logical and fair. I wont call Verizon and will just wait because i'd feel bad I might possibly be jumping ahead of someone who ordered before me, but 5 weeks to wait since order can feel like a really long time, sometimes! :)

I got my tracking number too. Show a UPS ground service, but like yours only shows in transit with no delivery date given. And using the UPS app it says going to Maine and I'm in Illinois.

Something hinky.
Mine finally updated and now has a delivery date of 10/5! Hopefully yours showed up.

Darn. I ordered mine last week when they were offering the $650 trade-in. I called today to see if I could change my order (going from 128 to 256GB <-- should have ordered the latter in the first place) but they said I would be bumped down to the current promotion if any changes were made to the order. Definitely a FWP but the 11/30 expected ship date is way too far out for my liking...especially 'cause the missus got her iPhone yesterday!

If your order # has "disappeared" online, try calling *611 and check your order status there. I found out that way mine was shipping before it ever showed up online or with an email.

Target called and said my phone is ready to pick up but I have to cancel my pre-order from costco then to get it. Only dilemma is I have one 7+ JB on the order and if I re-order then it'll get pushed back to the end of the line. Might just wait it out.

I'm told that there is a form that Verizon stores can submit to revise an order without cancelling the existing trade-in deal (provided, obviously, that you signed up for the original deal in time). I would ask about that if you can find the phone you want in a Verizon store.

After 3 long weeks, my 7+ MB 128 finally arrived!! Now I can ditch this iPhone 5s I have been using for the last 3 months after my iPhone 6 took a dip in the pool. I hope all of you get your phones soon!

It's here! It's really really here! The Jet Black, aka Fingerprint Black, is so worth it! I love the feel of it in my hands. I've been playing with it for the last two hours and it's really not all that finger printy. I'll keep it in a case because I always have. There are some things I need to figure out like the haptic when someone texts (that just this moment happened) is different from what i'm used to but not unpleasant. I am finally upgrading from the 5s to the 128 7+; my work phone is a 6 so it's not a huge step up size-wise from the phone i use most of the day. I do like the larger size and the stereo speakers are wonderful.
My stats:
Ordered 9/9 at approx 1:30am mountain time
Original ship date 10/26
Moved up to 10/5 one week ago (one week before it shipped)
Received a text message from Verizon moments after the charge hit my bank card on 9/30 stating the "order was received", received an email on 10/1 stating the order had shipped and including tracking info
Status on the website did not change until I received the email that said it was shipped.
Shipped from Memphis via Fed Ex, sat in the Salt Lake facility from 10/2 until it was delivered today 10/4.

Keep your heads up, mine was shipped more than two weeks early!

Congrats!! That's like 3 weeks early, I hope my November date moves up 3 weeks!

My phone is shipping via UPS ground. It is due tomorrow. My question is I thought Verizon only shipped via FedEx. Does it just ship ups then gets passed to FedEx for home delivery? Or will I keep the same tracking number and it comes via UPS?

That's pretty much a carbon copy of my order (phone configuration, order date, EDD)! Send me a text, Verizon! If you don't mind my asking, what time of day did you order, if you remember?

There's not a way to track it yet. I'll bet they send your shipping info tomorrow.

The 256GBs are readily available with Verizon apparently. Ordered a MB 7+ 256GB Sunday late afternoon and received shipping notification Monday night. Delivers tomorrow. I also changed one of my order from MB 7+ 126GB, ordered 9/14 with ESD 10/19, to the 256GB earlier today and received a text my order was received and cc charged within 2 hours of placing the order. Hoping the phone ships tomorrow. If you guys want your phones ASAP I highly suggest changing your order to the 256GB. Size is too large for my liking but for less then $5 a month, I could really care less LOL.

Less than 24 hours from taking this cracked 6 in for repair and honestly forgetting about it while I molest my new 7+. I'm so ready to play with this camera. Low light photography is a big deal for me.

I'm so excited for the haptic vibrations, I've heard they're kind of soothing and remarkably smoother than the traditional vibration motor. If it's anything like the watch, I'm game.

I'd never skipped a generation until last year, even when I was experimenting with Android, but the 6S is foreign to me so this is twice as exciting.

I thought the 256 would be too large for me but then I think about saving all my streaming library to memory to save on data, I also use YouTube Red and routinely show the same video to friends over a week or so period, so that's a huge plus. Whenever they start allowing offline Netflix, there's plenty of space.

I also don't have to worry about Live Photos taking up too much space and I can keep more 4K content ready. If ever they launch a 4K Apple TV.

I'm visiting from the T-Mobile preorder thread. Was just popping by to check in to see how you guys are doing on the 128MB+'s. How far along has Verizon gotten on their pre orders? Have all the 9/9 orders been shipped?

Just curious to see if you guys are having better luck than we are over on the magenta side. I had a nightmare trying to order at midnight on preorder night and ended up with a 9/10 order that has seen zero movement.
