Bologna. I asked the rep in store if I could have my phone delivered/picked up there and he said no. Every order had to be delivered via package service.
Got a tip for us?

Carrier iPhone 7/7+ Verizon Pre-Order Thread

To the large majority of the 7+ crew, if we were getting our phones on launch day we would already have shipping information available. Tomorrow is Wednesday...things aren't looking good. *Runs for the hills*
I still have the "your order is being processed" with an expected ship date of 9/23

Do you guys think that once Friday rolls around and phones start actually going out we'll see delivery dates moving up?
Said it before I'll say it again. With previous preorders, on T-mo, I saw nada until the night before. On Thursday before launch I got my card charged at 6, a tracking number, and my phone started to move from Louisville or Memphis (can't recall). My phone arrived the next day. If we have absolutely nothing by Thursday afternoon or evening, then it's safe to say Friday is a no go. Till then there is still a shot.
I have the same thing for one of my phones. I can't imagine though that Verizon has 0 launch quantity of the 7 Plus. With the number of people actively participating in this forum and order times from before midnight PST and plenty of people receiving confirmations in the first hour, that Verizon may simply not have them yet or is not shipping them until tomorrow or Thursday. I could be wrong, but again it seems unlikely that Verizon would have no launch stock of the 7 Plus.
You're right, my apologies I'm just being bitter. I preordered the 5 and 6 both at 3:00 EST on preorder night and received them on launch day with absolutely no problem. Just a little frustrated they way things have been going with this launch.
That's my exact scenario as well. I haven't seen a change at all since I ordered it.
ordered a 256gb black iphone 7 @ about 3:30 am central time. have my fedex tracking # saying delivery Friday. It's in Memphis Tennessee now.
They charged my credit card Sunday or Monday.

Mine remained that way until it moved from processing to shipped. I guess that's because you could still cancel and then they wouldn't have to reinstate your upgrade. Once it moves to shipped, all that should change.
OK, so here's my situation. My friend is a VZ guy and offered to pre-order my iPhone 7 plus for me right at 3am. So he confirms everything is ordered, I'll get my phone 9/16...ok great! On Sunday I discovered he ordered the iPhone 7 instead of the plus, so he has to place a new order. He then tells me I won't get the phone until after 10/5!!!! What?!?! It's not my fault what so ever he screwed up the order, but now I have to wait an extra 3-4 weeks for my phone. What bothers me is there's nothing Verizon can do to expedite the order even though they made the mistake. I work in retail myself and if my company makes a mistake we can usually make it up to the customer in some way. All I get is a shoulder shrug and an extra month wait for my phone. Lesson learned, I will go back to pre-ordering the iPhones myself. What are the odds I'll walk into a Verizon retail store in the next 3 weeks and they'll have any stock of the plus model?
I ordered three phones, iPhone 7 128GB Jet Black, iphone 7 32GB Black, and iPhone 7+ 128GB Jet black at about 12:15AM, this was as soon as the Verizon website went live. The entire order is showing Oct 5th shipment date, any chance they'll ship them separately as they become available? Or do they ship all together and only showing an Oct 5th date as maybe the 7+ 128GB Jet Black has the longest wait time?
It's frustrating for sure. We all want to know, but I also have a feeling that the carriers themselves don't know exactly what inventory they get. In years past it seems as if Apple just gets them inventory and then they fill as much as fast as the can. I'm just enjoying the community on here as we all commiserate with the wait...
if you want things done right.....you gotta do it yourself.
And i'm not trying to sound harsh either, but i'm pretty sure it's difficult to allocate a bunch of iphones for these so called errors that verizon makes. millions of pre-orders with millions of people waiting in line for an iphone. too high of demand for this product.

My 256 GB 7+ in Silver for ATT that I ordered from Apple at 3:11am ET has shipped and is on the way from China.
My 256 GB 7+ in Jet Black for Verizon is still processing with a date of 9/28.

For these people talking about dates getting moved up. That would be awesome but how do you handle being there to sign for it? I work full time and just started the job so I can't exactly say "Oh my iPhone is coming today, can I have the day off?"
Has anyone at all seen there 128 7+ rose gold move up? Still having my conflicting dates of 9/16 in my orders, 9/16 in confirmation email. But the link in it says expected ship 9/28. No cc processed or tracking.... This is my first preorder, too impatient for this lol 
Same exact thing for me! Same color, same dates. Haven't had anything change! I'm getting nervous! I ordered 10 min after the website came up! Everything says 9/16 except checking through the email link that says 9/28 but now I'm concerned I won't get it Friday and I've been excitedHas anyone at all seen there 128 7+ rose gold move up?

What I have done in the past is leave a signed note on the door with the tracking number and your signature instructing them to leave the package in a place you designate. they will leave it just about anywhere, as long as it's not a mailbox! Hope this makes sense
