Carrier iPhone 7/7+ Verizon Pre-Order Thread

[kycophpd]

Pending charges are just preauthorizations set to expire in a certain time frame. 99% of the time we purchase something, the payment posts before the preauthorization drops off. The card companies recognize that the $59 Walmart preauth is the same as the $59 post so they merge them and the preauthorization is gone.

In this case, preauthorization is usually 5 days as that is the longest most credit card companies will allow a company to 'hold' the funds. So if it drops off, not a big deal. This is still not indicative that you will not receive it launch day. This just means they haven't officially charged you before the preauthorization dropped off.

Ok so for the 100th time.. I've seen others say it but it doesn't seem to be sinking in my friend..

1.) I do not have my phone either..
2.) the rose gold 7+ 128gigs seem to be the first 7+'s to be received and processed this year by version.. Just like every other year they process each single color, size, model etc as they get them.. So if you ordered your silver 10 minutes after the pre order started and I ordered a rose gold 20 minutes after the pre order started should you be mad that I got a cc charge and shipping info before you? Absolutely not.. And vice versa if the silvers to first.. All carriers receive crates of the same model of phone and process those in the order that the preorders came in FOR THAT PARTICULAR model..Apple decides what and when and where to send.. Who's knows the why or how behind that.. Perhaps we can get Tim Cook to do a webcast and explain it to us.... Probably not

I'm not trying to be snarky or an ass man but seriously it's like pages of this thread are dedicated to explaining this to you and it's a very simple concept.. Just thought maybe one more explanation would help..

Good luck with the silver.. Hoping for my 7+ black 128 to move in this direction today

Ordered at 3:15am with initial delivery date of 9/23

Got an email at 4:07am with tracking for delivery this Friday.

7 Plus 128GB, Matte Black

So relieved...I'm taking the family to LA for vacation for 2 weeks next Wednesday and would've missed the initial delivery.

Awesome thanks

2:21 CST order confirmation. Ordered 256GB 7+ matte black and 128GB 7+ rose gold. No charges and still shows processing in order status with 9/23/16 ETA. Originally when I ordered it said the rose gold would deliver 9/16 and the black 9/23. I assume they will ship these together? I'm ok with 9/23 delivery but hope they come on launch date. We will see.

Same here! (Except for the vacation part). Thought I was going to have to wait till the 23rd, so am very excited to see it's shipped and set to arrive on the 16th. iPhone 7 Plus 128 GB matte black

Still nothing for me. 128 GB Matte black ordered at 3:15AM eastern launch day. Kinda frustrating.

You aren't alone 2:06 cst time same phone no charge no nothing making me a little ticked off that so many with later times orders and the same phone have shipping information already. Happy for those folks but questioning how this process truly works

 

[JerTheGeek]

Still no movement on mine Do you think I'll be seeing mine on Friday?

 

[coolant113]

Ordered a 128gb Matte Black at 3:20am EST on preorder day, original delivery date was 9/23. Received an email from Verizon at 6:02 this morning with tracking info, guaranteed delivery on friday 9/16

 

[BuddyTheElf24]

I ordered at the Verizon store as soon as they opened 9/9 (black 7+ 128) got a delivery of 9/28. No movement. Anybody else order in store and seen movement?

 

[Raystechworld]

Ordered 7 plus silver 128gb at 3.19 am with a ship by date of 9.28 and one 7 plus rose gold 128gb no action for either anyone with a 9.28 have anything

[kycophpd]

No not necessarily. I did not receive any info last year until 11pm Thursday.

 

[madscientist10]

No not necessarily. I did not receive any info last year until 11pm Thursday.

Oh, man. I'm not sure how much longer I can take of this.

 

[heyyitssusan]

My phone is being held in Linwood, PA it looks like. It's been at the facility since Monday but i guess they have no reason to continue shipping if they can't get it to me before friday i guess.. still hoping to see it move soon.

 

[ratigator]

My black leather iPhone 7 Plus case arrives today. Only 42 more days and I'll have a phone to put in it!

 

[hsoj1006]

VZW screwed my order up and put me for a 256gb 7 Plus Matte Black. I wanted 128gb. I have not seen many people ordering 256 and I have gotten no movement from VZW.

UGH!

 

[kycophpd]

Reminder on shipping: these phones go from mass shipment by plane, moved to a truck then dropped to a carrier sort facility BEFORE they get labeled and assigned (prelaunch, after launch they may come direct from overseas).

So if your device is not sorted and labeled until tomorrow, you won't receive any info until then or later and it may still arrive Friday. This is a large logistics operation that is much more complicated than what it seems which is why some people get upset when they don't see movement.

Edit: wrote this before I saw heyitssusan's post but yes that is exactly right! It will be or is already loaded on a trailer waiting to be taken to a shipper sort facility. They plan ahead and have more staffing Thursday to make sure they all get out for Friday rather than receive continual truckloads at FedEx or ups prior to their sort.

Got the email got a tracking number, tracking number doesn't work. Hopefully it will soon, I'm sure it will be here Friday!
