Brojio,

We apologize for the confusion this has caused. This issue is currently being worked on. At this time please use the date that shows when you view the order via My Verizon and disregard the email dates.

Just fyi, another Verizon support person stated in another thread here, to go by the date on the confirmation email...

If we rely on the My Verizon dates then we are not receiving our phones until October? Then what was the point of preordering if I must wait a month?

This seems like very poor customer support. Nowhere in the checkout process does it indicate that the dates in text and images for these phones are estimated. I understand that there are a large number of people ordering but Verizon should honor those dates or provide some type of compensation for the hassle and misdirection.

I apologize for the issues you are experiencing while processing your order Jmcsmith! The high demand and order levels of this device are certainly impacting anticipated delivery dates. Date provided in your order confirmation email should be correct, and we'll do everything possible to deliver by that date. Thanks for your patience.

I'm in the same boat as you. Ordered as soon as it went live. At order confirmation page, and confirmation email it said deliver by 9/19, but online it says 10/7.

I originally wanted the space gray and it showed ship times of 10/14.  I switched back to silver and it moved to 9/19

Same here. Original delivery date on confirmation page was 9/19. Now it says 10/14 on the status check page. Going to call later-too sleepy now.

I am in the same situation, order at 2:57 EST. Got the email saying 9/19 delivery, online preorder status says 10/7. I will be very angry if it does not arrive by 9/19.

mcjake333,

I can imagine how eager you are to receive your new phone, congratulations by the way! Orders are shipped in the order they are placed; this means the shipping dates are correct based on the order your order was received vs the rest of them. Not to worry, if there are any changes, you will receive an update.

AdaS_VZW,

Why does the *entire* checkout process and confirmation email show a date listed as 'Deliver By', but the online order status check shows an 'Estimated Ship Date' almost a month out?

It seems a little misleading to make absolutely no mention that the 'Deliver By' date doesn't actually mean the item will physically arrive on that date.  If I read the words 'Deliver By', I think any reasonable person would expect the item to arrive on that date.  However, after talking to three different customer service agents, I've been told that these dates are "just estimates" and "nothing can be guaranteed" and it's "first come, first serve".

I'd like Verizon to honor the 'Deliver By' date listed on the site when I placed my order, and I'd like them to do so by *delivering* my item *by* that date.  I've even got a pretty screenshot of the checkout process right here showing, nicely highlighted by your web developers, what any reasonable person would take to mean a guaranteed delivery date.  I'm asking that you acknowledge the problem, and honor the orders placed by everyone who woke up at 3am on a Friday to get their order in early, and I ask that you do so by actually meeting the date you told the customers you would deliver their item by.

Anyone figure out how to order the phone at the discounted price with the 2 year contract? I was told I'm grandfathered in for the upgrade discounts, but I don't see an option to get the discount online.

I would like to know the answer, too.  I am supposed to be grandfathered in at receive a discount, however clearly didn't once the order was place.  How do I receive an adjustment?

I am experiencing the same thing.  Website said 9/19/14 as ship date.  Website confirmation states 10/14/14 and email states 10/07/14.  Deadline to submit a trade-in request for an iPhone (4, 4S, 5, %c, 5S) that is in good working condition is due by 9/30/14! ???  This is not going well...
