A lot of people from this thread are getting their CC's charged, even as we speak. Although their delivery dates are nearer the end of September, and everyone seems to be Verizon customers... Still a glimmer of hope!



I read someone say in another thread that they do ship on the weekends.
Not me. I'm with verizon and my jet black 128gb iphone 7 plus still processing.
 
Just got charged and my order moved from processing to preparing for shipment. No change in delivery date yet.
Ordered: 7 Plus Matte Black 128GB @ 3:14AM

not to be the bringer of morbid thoughts but- maybe this is just a test charge for all dates....and does not indicate a shipment.

i.e. maybe november people are even getting it
 
One of my phones just moved in to Preparing for Shipping. Still has a window of 10/4 - 10/10. Hoping I get it Monday nonetheless.

I ordered my 7 black matte 32gb on the Apple site at 7pm on the 9th. Got a Oct 3-7 delivery date. Will mine be later than everyone that got a Oct 4-10 date because I ordered so late?
 
Apple just charged my card!!!

Likewise... great news.

And status has changed to "Preparing to Ship".

Boom- preparing for shipment!

Okay so how long generally from PFS to UPS tracking?

It's a pretty clear sequence, -charge, - PFS.....tracking

I think the change in status has to prove that the dates arent very accurate at all. Of course theyre off by maybe a week or so but the week after launch is fantastic!

I just got Preparing for Shipment a few minutes after the charge. Nothing in UPS yet. Maybe by tomorrow or overnight?
