So I preordered late, and got a delivery date of 11/15. I've been going nuts, tracking my order through the website and the app just about every 15 minutes to see if my order will get bumped up. Both trackers say that my order is still being processed and have a delivery date of 11/15.
I noticed that when I go online, I get a "preorder" number, and when I check the app, I get a different "order" number. Well, I went online, and without signing into my account, I plugged my "order" number into the order status request. To my surprise, I got a tracking number from Fedex! Apparently it was shipped this morning, and now has a delivery date of 11/3!! 
Not sure if this will work for everyone, but it's worth a try! Go onto the Verizon website, but don't sign in! Check your order status (Support > Order Status) using either the order or preorder number (I checked both, they work!), and you will hopefully get a current status that is different from the status on your account.
