iPhone 5- Verizon rep said NO phones will be shipped before 9/21...?

So, after my order kept saying 'does not exist' I called verizon... was on hold for 30 minutes and finally get a representative on the phone which I told the following to:
I ordered my phone at 2:04am CST on 9/14, I immediately received a confirmation email with my order number.

When I go to "Check your Order Status" and enter my order number and last name, it says this order does not exist.

She informed me the order will not show on the order status page until it has shipped and it will not ship until 9/21. I questioned why my email said DELIVER BY: 9/21, and she said that is wrong... The release date is the 21st and no phones can be shipped until they are released. Has anyone else talked to hopefully a more competent representative who has told them something different??

Also, is anyone else seeing the "Order does not exist" message?  Everything online is saying later orders will be shipped later, but I ordered mine early.... Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

It will ship either the 19th or 20th depending on your location with 2day or overnight shipping and be in your hands on the 21 (launch date) Verizon reps don't know anything I have pre ordered the 4, 4S and 5 and always get the phone on launch day.

The customer rep that I spoke to gave me information consistent with iDroid's experience.

Order Number: ********

Order Location: *******

Deliver By: 09/21/2012

Yeah. Don't listen to the CSR. You got one that had no idea what he/she was talking about. Deliver by the 21st means delivered by the 21st. They'll ship middle of the week and may even get to you early.

I spoke with a Verizon CSR this morning (Business Center CSR) and they stated that if you are in the first shipment you could possibly get it before the 21st but definitely on the 21st. But again the majority of the time CSR do not know when the phones are coming and you usually will get 10 different answers, so hang tight. if you want further clarification, i highly suggest heading to twitter and tweeting @vzwsupport they offered a lot of help when i first placed my order.
