So, the other threads are nice to see how things are progressing for those who preordered on the first day (9/9). And its cool to see those people who are already getting their phones. 
But I feel like the rest of the us "latey late" orderers are getting lost in the discussions because we have a bit more of a wait. So, I wanted to create a discussion for the rest of us so that once the ball gets rolling for us, we can kind of see how things go in terms of changed dates hopefully for the better and maybe earlier shipping dates.
So, if anyone else is interested this space can be for people who preordered 7 pluses AFTER the first day and who are still in the processing stage and have delivery/shipping dates PAST the 9/28 (which seems to be the latest date for 9/9 orders) date. Anyone not ordering the plus but just the 7 is also welcome to post here, but I just know that the debacle with pluses seems to be a bit more a concern for some people so I wanted to have a space for people to share here. But anyone is welcome to post.
So here just share:
Phone(s) Ordered:
Date Ordered:
Current Status:
Expected Ship date:
Optional: And also if you've heard of anyone having luck getting any of the plus models WITHOUT preorder in store recently (whether at Verizon or Apple) which I know is not yet being the case.
Thanks guys!
My preorder:
Phone(s) Ordered: 7+ matte/Apple black 256
Date Ordered: 9/12
Current Status: Processing
Expected Ship date: 10/5
No I personally haven't heard of anyone getting a plus in store at either place. Tried myself yesterday at Verizon (knowing I wouldn't but juuuust in case).
My online preorder:
Phone(s) Ordered: 7+ matte black 32gb
Date Ordered: 9/10
Current Status: Processing
Expected Ship date: 10/5
Update (well technically "no-update") to my original post: My order still says processing and my card has not been charged, no tracking#. My ship date was removed also for 2 days and then it came back and was still the original 10/5 ship date. I've had my trade-in box for a few weeks now, thankfully they said we're able to wait to send trade-ins until you receive your new phone. I check at least 5 times a day, like a crazy person!
I learned that pending shipment on *611 is the same as "processing" noted on orders, which is what mine has said since the first day I ordered 
aka, no update. If you check Verizon's social media pages, you'll see thousands of negative comments about how frustrated customers are with the preorder process. I'm hoping that Verizon will work with Apple to get us our phones asap. It's encouraging to see that a handful are finally getting their phones within the next week. I will be sure to post if I see any changes to my order over the next week.
First world problems for sure, but dang I just want my new phone!
