It will most likely end up in West Chester or Coatesville again, or maybe Harrisburg. It’s so screwy the way Fed Ex does it.
did you get a text saying your order was received ? I ordering also last Friday at 12:01 via CS.
Ordered on 9/14 at about 1am with a chat agent on Verizon website. iPhone XS Max 64 Grey.
Just got email and text from both my bank and Verizon saying my order has been processed and funds have been taken from my account. Verizon website still shows as processing, I’m sure I’ll have my phone by Friday since they charged my card

You’re golden. The last couple of years, my credit card flagged my phone orders as fraudulent and I was able to get it straightened out and get my phones on release day. This year, I used my debit card and the payment went through.
I had the same problem. I used Apple Pay and got the same email about the decline. Had to call and update. Frustrating.
My order has been sitting on pending for a while, just noticed I got an email from Verizon earlier today that there was an issue with payment and to call them. Just called and looks like Chase blocked the transaction, they ran it again and same thing. Tried a different card and I got a text notification from my bank asking if I’m attempting to make this transaction. I said yes, and it went through.
The lady on the phone said that this launch has had a lot of banks and card companies blocking this transaction. She said this won’t delay the shipping and will still get the phone Friday.

I ordered a 256GB XS Max is Gold at 00:04 PST, used Apple Pay because I assumed it would be quicker. Of course, it declined and got an e-mail today to update my payment info with a link that I couldn't open on my iPhone (weird). Got on my MacBook and was able to update it. I was charged and now it now says processing. Recently moved to LA from VA so I hope it ships on the 21st with no issues.
Verizon only uses Fedex, correct?

I still haven't been charged yet either. I order 10 minutes after they were up.
Mine is also still showing as processing. Delivery date is still listed as the 21st though.
Yep, happened with me, got an email yesterday about it, put in a different payment method and everything’s fine, got my fedex shipping # as well.
did you pay for your phone in full? I also have chase but my charge is only to pay off 1 monthly payment for my 8 plus
Did you have to look for your tracking number or did you get one sent via e-mail?
Had this issue order morning. Ordered at 3 am est. got an email at 6:30 am saying it could not complete my payment to call a number. I used Apple Pay. They could not update my order so had to cancel and do a new one. I knew I should have used my card instead. All is well but it was a pita.
I ordered my case 30 minutes later from Apple with Apple Pay, no issues. So it was something with Verizon. Lesson learned

LA to VA huh? How do you like that cheaper cost of living?
my status shows that too however my email for the order shows deliver by the 21st. Might just how the site displays the date.
Anyone else get a message on the FedEx page that the tracking # can’t be found? I got my tracking # like 7 hours ago and just wanted to see where my phone was coming from. Granted, I’ve been through 5 pre-orders and I’m sure the # will work tomorrow...
