Ordered a silver 256 pro, first time thru Verizon (because apple store was being weird).
Will it ship UPS from China like with Apple preorders? Or work differently?

Where are all the people who ordered via Verizon? I planned to order via Apple for the first time, but it would not refresh. Went to Verizon, ordered in like two minutes.. with a massive trade-in credit. The smoothest order I have ever placed.
Got my 1TB 14 Pro Max in Deep Purple ordered within minutes of preorders going live. Had a small hiccup with it taking my credit card number as the continue button wouldn’t light up. Switched to Apple Pay and it worked fine but the last two years I used Apple Pay always causes issues with the payment going through just before shipping so I’m sure that will be the same again.
Very smooth ordering process through VZW. I secured the Thanos Pro 512. Can't wait for next Friday to get here.
Verizon orders ship from the US and will usually ship out a little bit later in the week than the Apple ones, so don't worry too much when they start posting shipping notices.
Yup, I remember there being issues with Apple Pay. I'd love to use it, but totally scared off by the drama from years past.
Ordered a 256gb Space Black Pro Max and a 256GB Deep Purple Pro Max along with 2 Series 8 watches. iPhones have a 9/16 date and watches are 10/31. I’ve used both VZW and Apple for preorders and Verizon always goes more smoothly.
Gold Pro Maxes can still be grabbed for 9/16 but most others are only a week off at this moment.

I had to call to place my order, I had 2 device payments as well and the only option it gave me was to pay off the 13 in full.
That was a deal breaker for me. Not gonna be hog-tied to Verizon for 3 years for an expensive phone where I am penalized for paying off early. I will do it for a Watch because the penalty for early pay off is not bank-breaking. I will buy 14 Pro Max further down the road. I will probably use a no-interest service that splits payments over time such as Klarna.

The Verizon app has been trash for a long time my friend. Just login through your browser
Yup the 36 month bs is what keeps me away from dealing with vzw and their offers. Title of the offer is misleading - then in the details you see that you get regular trade in value then a bunch of that money advertised is bill credits over 3 dang years
Sure if you choose to keep the phone that long but just as many people switch phones
I paid off the little balance of my 13 in IUP and just bought the phone outright (after apple trade in credit)
Was tempted to not get the applecare - I only had 1 drop scare with this phone and the tempered glass absorbed the damage but it’d be my luck when I don’t have it I’d need it
This language is truly confusing. Called in and I don’t think the rep understood either but they are saying I need to keep the device to see $130 credit in my October bill?!?? 🤷🏻♂️
Worth noting that this isn't always the case when compared to other trade-in deals
(For my 13 Pro to 14 Pro):
Apple trade-in credit for Apple financing: $600, total financed: $499
Verizon trade-in credit for Verizon financing: $600, total financed: $499, additional credit: $200/36mos
If I pay option 2 off early, I lose the remaining additional credits, but if I pay the device off anytime after the 1st month of credits, it's still a better deal than Apple trade-in + iUP or Apple Card financing.
Placed an order for two 14 Pros through Apple within 15 minutes, but my ship date slipped by a week. So, I placed another order directly with Verizon instead and that seems to be sticking to 9/16. Can't seem to cancel the Apple order yet, though... and if that one's ship date fixes, I'd rather cancel Verizon's to not have to deal with (as many) bill credits. =/
It wasn’t too much of a problem the last two years as it just required me to re-enter payment information in before they would start the process of shipping the phone but it is a little bit of a hassle nonetheless. Seems to have something to do with the way VZW does their pre-authorization of payments and then since the phone doesn’t ship for nearly a week later they seem to not be able to process the Apple Pay again. Not sure why as other places I’ve used Apple Pay and my Apple card for preorders seems to work just fine.
I’ve had VZW use both UPS and FedEx in years past. Regardless of shipping partner they do require a signature for delivery though. You can pre-authorize and ask that they leave the phone at the delivery address but ultimately it is up to the driver as to whether or not they choose to leave the package without getting an in person signature.
Switched to T-Mobile last year but their preorder situation has been a DISASTER this morning. Ain’t nobody got time for that, so I switched back to Verizon
256 GB Pro (Silver)
256 GB Pro Max (Gold)
Both set to arrive 9/16 even though the order was placed 50 minutes late
Welcome back!
I preordered my Ultra through Verizon and Apple, but wanted Verizon since I got $150 off. I don’t mind paying the watch off over 36 months as I kept my S4 for 4 years now.
The Apple App Store app didn’t open for me until 8:11am. I placed my order for a 512GB 14 Pro Max Deep Purple with a delivery date of 9/16. My S8 Ultra through Verizon is still showing a delivery date of 9/23.
Ordered mine today, 256 iPhone Pro Max, Deep Purple, delivery date of 9/20
