Carrier iPhone 7/7+ Verizon Pre-Order Thread

Right, I have that, but I know Apple for one restricts what you can do with their orders. I don't know if Verizon is going to do the same.
I ordered an iPhone 7 128GB rose gold for my wife and a matte black 7+ 128GB for myself. Will Verizon ship them separately when they become available or do they ship them together? I currently have only one deliver by date of 9/23 showing on my order status but was initially shown a launch date delivery for the rose gold iPhone 7.
This is my first time ever preordering. Curious to see how this all plays out.
they'll ship separately. I bought the same exact combination, my wife's rose gold iPhone 7 is alreay on its way with a distinct tracking number. My 7+ (matte black) is still "processing" and won't arrive till 9/23 per Verizon's website.
Did you check Verizon's "My Order" page to see if your iPhone 7 has a tracking number?
EDIT: I should say, I processed both phones as separate orders... so now thinking about it, my reply may not help in your case since I didn't order them together.

32gb matte black ordered Friday afternoon, just received shipment and tracking info. Will deliver this Friday
If I check the order status from my confirmation email, I have a tracking number. But I still haven't gotten any email from Verizon notifying me of the shipment. This only matters to me because I called them on Friday afternoon to change the address that it's being shipped to. The agent that answered said they couldn't do it, then passed me on to customer care. The nice lady there also said they couldn't do it. I told them I thought that was crazy because we live in a day where people share accounts and it's not uncommon for someone to live in a different city than the main account holder, which is my case. She understood, talked to her supervisor, and said they would change the shipping address for me. Now I just need to know if it actually happened or not. For those of you who have gotten shipment emails, does it have the address on the email? The order status and the tracking info doesn't show it anywhere.
Well I was going to hold off on getting one for a bit, but finally just had to do it yesterday. iPhone 7+ Silver 256gb with a 10/2 delivery date, here's hoping the usual happens and it gets delivered much earlier
The email I received from Verizon with the tracking information shows the shipping address.
I woke up at 2:55 EST to preorder my iPhone 7+ Jet Black 128gb at on apple.com. After entering in my verizon billing password wrong too many times (didn't realize the billing password is the pin) I got locked out for 60 minutes. I watched as the expected delivery dates quickly slipped to November and panicked so I went onto verizon's site to order as the date was a little better at october 26th (got the order in at 3:55 am EST). Now the expected ship date is 11/2. Have always gotten my new phones delivered on launch date, guess not this year
I had a similar experience, but not because of password problems. It took until 3:11am EST for either site to change from the "coming soon" messages (I assume everyone had that same experience). Then it took me until 3:39 to finally get an order through. First, the Apple Store app seemed to be working, but it kept getting hung up on the "Check Account" screen. I kept getting a service unavailable message and I gave up with the app after numerous tries. Meanwhile I was on Verizon's site which was kicking me back to the login screen during the order process even though I was already logged in. Now I'm stuck with an estimated 10/26 ship date for the 128gb jet black Plus. It's going to be a long 1.5 months with an empty Apple leather case...

Thanks for the info. I have been checking it. So far no tracking number and still getting the "your order is currently being processed".
I had the exact same problems you did with Apple and verizon. They both said order soon for awhile then verizon kept kicking me back to the login page even though I was logged in. Finally got through to Verizon around 3:15. My jet black plus 128gb delivery date is 10/5.I had a similar experience, but not because of password problems.

Correct. If you didn't do the trade in with the order, wait for the promo code to be texted to you once you activate your device. It will be texted to you if you ordered through Verizon online.
I got that same message when trying to order last night but it ended up not wanting to take my chase card and i ended up having to use a different card cause it wasn't giving a number or chat window to talk to chase. Something about being enrolled in Total security or something along those lines.
I see that apple is giving people who had problems ordering @3 am and had problems are getting some priority help,
I had the same problems as others,and around 3:15 got through,ordered a black 6+ black 128GB,only to get a confirmation for a 32GB,now have it corrected,but ship date is 10/12.
Be nice to get a little satisfaction from Verizon!!

Exactly but then it took my order and I got a confirmation so I was confused. I have that stupid chip. I wonder if that is part of it. I'm gonna check with Verizon and then call Chase if needed.
Mine shows shipped and I've been given a FedEx shipping number, but the carrier info was blank. When I checked the tracking, it shows it left the FedEx facility in West Chester PA, and is now in Coatesville PA enroute to NJ.
Dang you're lucky! I ordered through verizon at the same time same exact phone 7 plus jet black and my ship date is 10/5.
FYI for those wondering about the conflicting ship dates. My confirmation email says 9/16, the direct link from this email that says I can check the status says 9/28. When I log in to my account on Verizon, it says 9/16. A rep just looked it up in a chat and said to go by the 9/28 date AND that its the SHIP DATE not the delivery date. Lame! I am hoping this rep just doesn't have a clue.
I ordered a 7+ 128gb rose gold at 8:31am CST
