Same here. When I check the status the date keeps changing from 9/16 (what the email says), to 9/23, and now this morning it says 9/28.I ordered a 7 plus 128GB in rose gold.
My confirmation email says deliver by 9/16.
My order status says deliver by 9/16.
However, when I click "Check Your Order Status" in my email, I get an expected ship date of 9/28.
No activity on my credit card, yet.
Mine does not show the bonus, either. (I got the $80 12 GB plan.) I asked CS about the omission and was told it's a back-end promo that wouldn't necessarily show on the E-mail. I'm not too worried about it.
Word to the wise, I wouldn't make ANY changes to the order. The reps often mess something up and it delays or cancels your order. It happens a LOT.
Haha I just called the number and they were like yea, I am sorry, but that is not possible at all. It may deliver earlier than 9/23, but that all depends on when we receive the inventory from Apple. We ship as soon as we receive the order. They also said that I couldn't change the delivery address until I receive a tracking number, but said it was possible after that point.
I'm a 9/23 black 256 plus as well with a 9/23 date. Ordered as soon as the page allowed me. Still no change in my order, but my boyfriend has a phone reserved with Apple for his AUP so might just see if they have any while there on Friday at this rate.
Yea I wouldn't make any change to my order. I just don't trust them not to mess something up. I'll just hope for the best.
Anyone know why I wouldn't have a date listed on the website but i have one listed on my confirmation email? Should I call in and ask about it?
This happened to me. I preordered Friday morning around 3:12 AM, and didn't see a date on Verizon's website until early Saturday. It matched the date shown on the email. When did you order?
Two years ago when I ordered my 6 Plus 128GB from Verizon a bunch of us called and were able to initiate a "jump the line" request and we were able to successfully get our phones on launch day. Has anyone tried that again this year with success?
I ordered as soon as the website allowed me too.

Now that's a courier issue. If you're a premium subscriber to UPS MyChoice or FedEx Delivery Manager then something like changing the address is possible. But again, I wouldn't risk it with the sheer inventory they'll be handling.

Ah. Hopefully it goes up soon. I'd say if it isn't up sometime today and there's no movement on your CC I'd call them.
FedEx doesn't allow this. I tried this morning.
"It must be attempted to be delivered before we can hold it".
Not if you sign up for the paid "Delivery Manager" subscription.

Maybe this has been asked but when is the card billed when the order is placed for the new phone? Is it when shipped? Right before? I did this last year and cannot remember how. I can't preorder until Weds and the delivery date just keeps going up
I actually might order earlier if the fees won't come out until after 9/15 (payday). The current delivery date for the one I want is 9/23(not too bad)

At this point I'm just hoping there will be enough stock at my local VZW corporate store that if I get there about 2 hours before open I can get a black 128GB 7+!
While I was pre ordering mine on 9/9 at precisely 3:05AM, I was also in a live chat with someone from customer service.
She instructed me to log out of my account, select my device ( 128GB Jet Black 7 plus ) and then log back in towards the end.
It seemed to work, I'm getting mine on 9/23. According to her, Verizon will not be shipping any jet black 7 plus's on 9/16, they simply just don't have any * She says *. I asked her if I would have done it any quicker would I have gotten mine on 9/16 and that was her response. She also said that most stores will not be getting any in stock either since supply is extremely limited.
With my experience though ( I always purchase every iPhone that comes out, through pre orders every year ) Verizon likes to give them selves some comfort room. It'll say 10/7 for example, but you'll end up getting it on 10/2.
So for us that shows 9/23 ( first wave of shipments according to them ) we might get ours a little sooner.
Hope this helps !

If anyone gets movement on their orders from Verizon, can you confirm whether they use UPS of FedEx? Thank you.
