Thats on Verizon's end, not FedEx. I'm pretty sure it's a policy that a delivery attempt be made. I preordered through Apple a couple years ago, I was able to reroute the delivery to a UPS ship center for pick up with no issue.
Got a tip for us?

They hate all of us but probably not you, personally, more than they hate those who keep calling support about their phones not shipping...
I wouldn't be so sure.... My order time was before many who have already gotten shipping information. So what's the logic there? Obviously it's not who ordered first..... and I could see the argument that the system is so overloaded that even though I ordered at 2:06 CST someone who ordered at 2:09 CST was actually ahead of me in the que.... I'd buy that... what's the rationale for people who ordered three hours later in the same time zone, having shipping information already and CC charged for the exact same model phone?
Yep me 2:06 CST confirmation email one phone only no CC charge and no change I'm in IA
That has to do with the warehouse location that is processing each order. When they process a batch in each warehouse, you will receive notifications. So it kinda does, kinda does'nt matter on the state. It depends on if only one warehouse for Verizon is covering South Carolina in her case, then yes it would matter. If they have more than one, then it would not matter.
Yes confirmation time 2:20 cst. I also have a rose gold plus 128 gig but lots of those shipped last night as well. Hoping more move tonight.
For what its worth, I'm in SC and my order has said processing since I put it in on 9/9 at 3:15 am our time. No CC charge yet. Fingers crossed that happens tonight.
I've done it before with multiple FedEx iPhone deliveries. Just called the sorting facility and told them to hold it.
The original question was doing it online. You cannot do that. You can on UPS. Also, while you have been lucky, most FedEx locations will not do that since it is technically not allowed thru FedEx on iPhone shipments. As someone else said, it must be a Verizon rule because they ship FedEx usually.
Yep. SC here. The wife's Rose Gold 7 256gb is on its way for delivery on 9/16. My Matte Black 7+ 256GB is still processing.
I was told by a Verizon representative that she can almost guarantee I'll get my phone on launch day. But I'm pretty sure most of them will say whatever it takes to get us to shut up about it. Jet black iPhone 7 plus 128g

Hey guys been creeping on here for the last couple days. Ordered a Silver 128GB + on 9/9 at 10:01AM PST (Didn't know Verizon was doing the trade-in offer) Got a delivery date of 9/28, but hoping I can get it launch day.
Anyone get a 9/16 delivery for a Silver 128GB + in their email? So far I've only seen 9/28...trying to keep hope alive

What time did you get your order through? I hope i get mine Friday! It's saying it is supposed to deliver by 9/16. However no cc charge or tracking lol
Argh...
Pre-ordered the 128GB 7 Plus in matte black via the Apple.com web site from my Mac at 3:21am EST on Friday. I immediately received the email confirmation. It went from order placed to processing the next morning, and thats where it has remained. No charge on my credit card as of Wednesday at 3:50pm.
Here's the best part - from day 1, it has shown 2-3 weeks delivery and Oct 4-Oct 10 as the dates! Come on! I literally could not have ordered any quicker.....Apple.com didn't come up until 3:10 or so and then I couldn't get past the Verizon verification until a few minutes later. Words of wisdom?
Having pre-ordered since Apple started doing this, this is fairly typical (many times it would sit in processing until a day before and then all of a sudden be 'out for shipment' on the correct day...but this time it feels strange.
