I order 128gb Jet Black 13min after the go live for the order and I received an email

Order Date: 09/09/2016
Deliver By: 10/05/2016

however at the website it shows a different delivery date:
Status
We received your order and it is in process.
Expected ship date
10/26/2016

i actually ordered that same model the first time and had that same exact issue with the two dates. i called and the rep told me that 10/26 was probably the correct date because of how many orders were coming in at once. so i ended up cancelling and ordering the matte black which has a ship and delivery date of 9/23.

I ordered the exact same a little sooner than that and my email says 10/05/2016 but the website says 9/23/2016. Everyone seems to be confident we'll get it release day though :rolleyes:

Do they sell out really fast? I'm setting an alarm but wondering what my chances are of actually getting to pre-order one

[doublepost=1473625337][/doublepost]Yes, typically the higher storage capacity iPhones sell out first then the ship times start slipping. Usually if you wait more than 24 hours ship times jump past 5-6 weeks

Just had a brief online chat with a Verizon rep, take this with a grain of salt because he didn't seem very confident.

I asked when cards would be charged and shipping would start for the 7 Pluses. He says cards should be charged anywhere from 9/16-9/23 and shipping will depend on when they get the phone.

That makes it sound like they don't even have the phones yet.

they never get the phones? not for delivery pre-orders anyway.. it all comes direct from the assembly line or whatever the last process is. Goes to Cali for some quality assurance and will ship out to your final UPS/Fedex sort facilities closest to you and sit there over night... reps have no idea, they are uninformed and say things that they 'hear' are true.. the salt is listening to them in the beginning. this is no means a shot on them tho, great people.. most anyway

i just got off the phone with a rep and she just straight up said "no there is no chance that your phone will be delivered on the 16th if your expected delivery date is the 23rd because a lot of people were ordering phones at 3am"

I ordered a 7 plus 128gb in jet black and got confirmation at 12:17 AM PDT and I have an expected ship date of 10/12 yet a delivery by date of 10/05. Verizon's system is definitely messed up.

Just went back and very briefly skimmed through last years Verizon pre-order thread. The same thing seems to have happened last year, with 6S pre-orders getting charged and assigned tracking info before 6S Plus orders.

What sucks about this is someone has to be home to accept the package, but I don't know what day to plan to be home. The estimated 23rd, or the (hopefully) 16th? Somewhere in between?

Because there's quite a few Apple stores in my area, I've learned to just purchase those on launch day.

Those things never sell out in store.
