I preordered 9/9 at 5:30 am EST.  Still not billed or anything. Just have expected date of shipping is 9/23. Email said delivery by 9/23.  I am hoping to have it by this Friday going out this weekend and hoping to use the camera.

Ok well here is how it all worked for me. I ordered 9/9 5:30ish am and I received a confirmation email with a deliver by 9/23. On Tues 9/20 i noticed my date of Delivery Expected 9/23 disappeared on the Verizon site. Then I seen on Wed 9/21 it said SHIPPED. I received the phone on Thursday 9/22 a day before the expected date. 

I am writing this with my new IPhone 7 Plus!  I love it and never had a Plus before and I must say I'll never go back to a smaller phone.

Good of luck to everyone and enjoy your new phones when they arrive.

I have to admit that this entire process is annoying to say the least. I ordered my iPhone 7+ matte black on 9/9 and got the confirmation at 8:58 AM EST with an expected delivery date by 9/23. I checked earlier this week and that changed to "ship by 9/23" which was a bit annoying but okay, no big deal. I called Verizon last night as I am out of town on an unscheduled trip to see if I could redirect the package to my hotel. I was told the only option would be to cancel the order and replace the order, but then it wouldn't ship till November. I made it crystal clear that I did not want to do this and that I would figure it out with the expected delivery Friday. The Verizon rep told me to keep checking my order status and once it goes to shipped, to call them back and they "might" be able to redirect the package but the earlier I reach out, the better. I checked the status today and the date of 9/23 is gone and now it simply says "your order is being processed. Please check back later for additional information." What? Did it ship? Is it delayed? Did some clown from Verizon cancel the order? Trying to get in touch with Verizon support, without calling, is like trying to get in contact with the President of the United States....Ridiculous. Come on Verizon, get your act together since people that ordered after me are getting their phones before me. Not cool, not cool at all.....

And your original ship date was 9/28 - right? Mine is too! I'm really hoping my says shipped soon as well. Still says "processing" with the ship date of 9/28.... When does your tracking number say you'll get it?

At first the tracking didn't show anything at all. Then last night it showed in wasnt far but still no ETA. Now I just checked this morning and it's coming today.

That was great news for you. One would assume considering all Verizon does is sell phones that they'd know what they're doing over there. NAH.

Have a deliver date of 9/23 on my preorder confirmation. I don't know about you guys but "deliver" to me means thats the day I get my hands on it. To the rocket scientists and brains surgeons at Verizon that means it might ship on or after that day. I'm so annoyed with their lack of caring and trying. If it wasn't going to ship until my delivery day I should have been notified.

So last night my card was charged! I am thinking great! I call Verizon as I need to redirect the package to a different address due to being out of town on an unplanned business trip. I get the package rerouted (I Think) and ask when it will arrive. The rep tells me that it is scheduled to ship on 9/23. So I say "great, will it be delivered on Saturday then?" to which she responds, "no, Friday." I politely ask how the ship date and delivery date could possibly be the same and she just tells me that I will have it on 9/23. I check my account to get tracking information (so I can confirm that the package is being redirected) and it still says "Processing." So I am back to being thoroughly confused. Ugh

Reps stories don't seem to match up. A few days ago they assured me it would be delivered Friday 9/23. 2 days ago they assured it me it would ship 9/21 for a 9/23 delivery. Yesterday it was supposed to ship today and now they're assuring me it will ship on the delivery day 9/23 for a delivery day of sometime after 9/23.

They're not too bright at Verizon.

So after all is said and done, it is scheduled to be delivered today to the changed address. Keep your fingers crossed that it arrives and I'll keep mine crossed for yours!

Ordered a 128GB 7 Plus in Matte Black and a 128GB 7 Plus in Silver - both ordered at 6.12am PST on the 9/9.  Email shows DELIVER BY 9/28.  Up until two days ago, website said SHIP BY 9/28 but now shows YOUR ORDER IS BEING PROCESSED - PLEASE CHECK BACK LATER.

Credit card was charged about 4hrs ago.  No shipping information and no tracking confirmation on my Fedex or UPS apps (i'm setup to receive alerts when my address is labeled on a package with both those carriers).

Friends who ordered same phones through Apple at the same time all have theirs.

I ordered the matte black 7+ 128GB on 9/9 at 8:22am PST. Original ship date was 10/5. My card was just charged earlier today, and I called 611 and it told me that my order has been processed and shipped with an estimated delivery of 2 business days! However, the order tracking page on Verizon's website still hasn't updated and still says processing with no estimated date. Have not received tracking number yet. Hopefully I get the tracking number tomorrow! I have my fingers crossed for having it before the weekend. I'm going out of state for a week on Sunday morning and don't want to wait until I get back to get my phone. I also need to change the delivery address as it is set to ship to my parents house and they live on the other side of the country from me...

Same as me, was charged earlier today and received a text from Verizon saying that my order has gone through, and I should get my tracking number WHEN it ships. Hoping for the same, that it ships tomorrow and gets here Saturday. Good luck, my friend. 🙂

Ordered on the 10th at my local Verizon store.  Ship date still says Oct 12th.   I also ordered two 4.7" iPhone 7 32gb black that arrived about a week or so later.

There was a delay on shipments due to shipping problems-Wide iPhone 7 availability expected at Apple retail by Oct. 8, international freight logjam to blame  Not sure if this affected Verizon.
