I have the same location as you. Ordered a 6+ 64GB Space Gray at 3:13 am, and I'm still seeing 10/7. No charge on the credit card, no status change, except that this morning they updated their tracking system to reaffirm 10/7 delivery.
Kinda sucks that ordering in the first 15 minutes still has me waiting over two weeks to get the phone. Buddy of mine at work ordered the exact same phone from AT&T at like 9am and he's getting his delivered tomorrow. That'll teach me to order from Verizon again (didn't even want to do it this time).
Jump the line is a JOKE!!
I called about it earlier and was told once it's been placed, the date cannot be changed.
You too, like me and others, were lied to...
That's not true. I was told specifically they submitted the jump the line forms to the right department yesterday and less than 24 hours later my credit card was just charged $1,100. From what I've read once that happens shipping and tracking happens pretty soon afterwards.
Mine is still in Louisville, however the final destination is South Florida instead of NC.
What this affirms is that pre-ordering is virtually useless for most people.
There is no use in pre-ordering if you dont get the phone on launch day.
By the time 10/7 comes, you will likely be able to get the phone at the store....

I was the exact same thing yesterday and when it didn't happen, the manager basically told me i was full of crap and screw off...
Do you think your call made the difference or simply your turn in line? Alot of folks are posting after their phone-in things move immediately.
It's tough to say, I called several times this week... Including twice today. I would like to think it's just my turn, and that if I wouldn't have called that I would still have received the phone tomorrow as promised originally.
I'm in the same boat, nothing charged and just today the Verizon site updated with the same ship date as my email. I ordered at 12:45am in California.
I was bored at work and decided to give Verizon another call about my iPhone 6+ SG ordered at 3:20 a.m. ET on 9/12.
The order status on the site and my email says 10/14, but the Verizon rep said based on the time I ordered I should be in the "first wave" and more information should be available when the new phones actually launch tomorrow. He said Apple's supply numbers has thrown them off and that explains the continuous change in ship dates.
Not very sure this is helpful, but does provide some hope for some of us who are still waiting for tracking information.

um, I disagree... I think there will still be huge supply constraints on 10/7. That being said, I think pre-sale is only good if you get in on it immediately!
And now, instead of 10/14, my status says 10/7, better... but still not 9/19. Hopefully it will change, but it's so nice to see something other than not available.
Status: 10/07/2014 Your order will ship by 10/07/2014
Just checked my bank account and there is a charge for the FULL AMOUNT for VZW. Ummmm this seems promising!
what date did your confirm email have
Thanks so much y'all. I'll let you know how it goes. I don't have class until afternoon tomorrow, so I'm thinking of heading over around 5. Relatively small town (50k people) So I'm not sure what to expect but I'm hoping for the best!
At this point sales constraints are speculation...however, yeah what good is presales if you cant get it when it launches..
what did your e-mail show? i got a jump the line request and my package just arrived in kentucky.
I think they just flat out did not have nearly enough I phone 6 pluses ready to go for launch, they should of just delayed the launch for the Plus by 2 weeks to try to have enough stock.
I pre-ordered both the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 and had my devices in hand on launch day while others were standing in line and getting nothing. But I pre-ordered those devices through Apple, not Verizon.
I think that what this really proves is to always pre-order an iPhone through Apple. I wanted to do that this time, but their site wasn't live when Verizon's was, so I figured I would be better off just getting from Verizon. That ended up being far from the truth.
I also think it proves that Apple severely underestimated the demand for the iPhone 6 Plus. I can still order an iPhone 6 today and get it tomorrow, but most 6+ people seem to be SOL.
How much more "immediate" than 13 minutes can I get? About 10 of those minutes were spent just getting through the pages on Verizon's site and inputting my payment information. The other 3 minutes were spent checking to see if Apple's site was live because I knew better than to order anything through Verizon.
This would have made more sense, but Apple was likely trying to accomplish 2 things: Make sure it's available before the Note 4, and prevent their own cannibalization of people that would order a 6 and then return it for the 6+ they really wanted all along. Getting it out there helps them gauge what the demand really is for going from 4 to 5.5in. ...they certainly learned.
I agree.. telling consumers that you are delaying the launch for a few weeks to build up stock is completely acceptable.
On the other hand...
Apple over-estimated the 5C last year and now have tons of stock of it.
Manufacturing logistics is a guessing game...
