Nooooo I hope not, should be getting updates soon maybe tomorrow even. Just hoping the VZW store has some stock if mine isn't delivered!
Once you've given them your signature they are absolved of risk. If the package requires a "Direct" signature then they aren't supposed to accept a note someone has to physically sign for the package.
Any idea as to why my order, placed at 3:30am EDT for a Jet Black 128 7+ would be showing an estimated ship/delivery of 11/16? I swear I'm spazzing out on my end
Edit: Forgot to mention that the order was placed 9/9

I've spoke to 3 different VZ reps in 3 days, each of them told me that the 9/23 date is a "safe" date and that I should still expect my phone to ship next week and arrive on 9/16. That is regards to my Black 7 Plus order....
Rec'd VZW/fedex shipping email for the iPhone 7 256gb with future delivery date of 9/16.
7plus still shows awaiting inventory
For the order I just placed last night, I am seeing my trade in option in orders- the two I did on Friday I do not see them? Nor did I get emails for those two on Friday either :/
One thing to make note of with Verizon's trade-in offer is that it's only valid if you choose monthly installments. I find it lame that they won't allow you to pay off the phone up front if you want to take advantage of the trade-in program.
Can anyone think of a good business reason for them to do this? Arguably, they'd make more money off of me if I paid up front wouldn't they?
I traded in an iPhone 5s and it properly reflected that I would receive $400 as my trade-in value on checkout. I previously had problems because I didn't have my new order set to monthly installments. Last time through when I chose the full payment option it was only offering me the $98 normal trade-in value for a 5s.
My estimated ship date is also 9/23. I got a 128Gb Silver iPhone7.

I put 1 order for 2 phones: a 7+ rose gold 128 which was showing a 9/16 date at the time of the order and a 7+ jet black 128 which was showing a 10/5 date. After I completed the order both were showing 10/5 and that is the date I see when I check my order in My Verizon. Also, I never got the confirmation email, but a representative told me that my confirmation email says 9/26. So, I have no idea how this works
They are using it to lock people in to two year contracts... "Once you agree to make the trade in, you’ll have to stick with that carrier for two years in order to actually get an iPhone 7 for free. If you cancel service, you’ll either have to give up the phone or pay off its full price, minus however much you’ve been credited on your monthly wireless bills.

I'm still at a loss myself for my order. As mentioned in my posts, I ordered 9/9 @ 3;30am ET for a 128gb JB 7+. Got my confirmation email and my order status says "processing" but... My estimated ship/delivery date is 11/16. I dont want to cancel just in case it is some sort of glitchy oversight in the system but it would suck if that's where my order actually stands, especially when I've seen peole place orders for the same model (or th 256) later than I did with ship times stating 9/23, 9/28/, 10/5 or even 10/20
no i tried...i've seem people on the apple thread say it worked for them using their phone numbers though
Just a heads up but I haven't received a shipping email from Verizon but make sure you guys click the "check your order status" link in the confirmation email you received from Verizon. Mine shows that it was shipped and already picked up by FedEx for 9/16 delivery. Looks like VZW is slow in their shipping confirmation emails.
On FedEx's site it's possible to track by reference and you enter the location and order numbers found in your confirmation email separted by an underscore (location_order), along with your country / zip code and a date you believe it has shipped (leave account number blank)
However, I can never figure out if it's the order or preorder number and I'm not sure if this will actually work if you haven't been charged for the phone yet.
Thanks for the link. It makes more sense now.
- They want to lock you in for 2 years and or about 27 months in Verizon's case.
- If they let you pay off the phone in advance, you would be forefeiting less if you changed carriers early.
Matte Black 7, 128GB. There's a pending charge on my card but it has not officially posted yet. Tracking shows that FedEx already picked it up, so I expect the charge to go through next business day (tomorrow)
