Carrier Verizon 2018 New iPhone Pre-Order Thread

I told myself not again this year but here I am, looking to see what others are seeing as far as shipments. :rolleyes:

I ordered my Xs 256gb SG on Friday about 11:30am ET. I was charged last night around 9pm but it was declined, I didn't see the email until this morning at around 9am. I re-submitted the card with no issues but my 9/21 delivery changed to processing with no date now. Oh well, it would be nice to get it on Friday but I'm not expecting it now.

I ordered the same phone 7 hours before you, why have I not even been charged yet?

Edit: Apologies, I ordered the Xs Max.

Mine is being shipped to an authorized retailer so I don't pay until pickup. Order status hasn't changed but still says 9/21 delivery. I'm guessing most of us won't see anything until tomorrow night because they overnight a lot of them.
 
Funny. I just checked a few time on the order status on VZW and the order number that worked before says not in the system. The preorder confirmation still works. MAYBE its a sign they may be processing it!!

Nope. The order number is working again...... showing 10/10/18 :(

Does anyone know if we can request the package to be held at the local fedex facility and go pick it up or does Verizon require a delivery attempt first? Be nice to go pick it up at 8 and not be antsy all day waiting haha.
 
Verizon is sure waiting to the last minute to keep me wondering and guessing, and administering a bit of stress! :)

Ordered the Xs Max SG 256GB about two hours after ordering began, and my order is still showing as "Pending". I know everyone says to relax that it will arrive on Friday, but Verizon is sure taking their time with my order and keeping me guessing. o_O

Yes they like to do that. I have a Xs MAX SG 512GB that I ordered 10 min after ordering began and am still in "Processing" with no charge. This happened the last several years since I got my iPhone 5. But so far they have always gotten it to me on time. Looks like the Xs MAX SG is the high demand one this year and being process last this time.

I'm in the same boat as you. Still pending.
 
On a different front, the box to trade my phone back in to Verizon was attempted to be delivered today. I got a notification from UPS it required a signature. Of course no one was home and I logged into my UPS account to input the tracking number from the sticky note left by the driver to see about pickup or an indirect signature. None of those options are available. Why on earth would that require a signature? I’ve traded phones in to Verizon before and the boxes have never required a signature.

According to Verizon CS reps, FEDEX has to make 2 Delivery Attempts before they can keep the box at depo for hold.
