Idk if SG was the most popular or not. Over the last few days, it seemed that SG and Gold were shipping while Silver wasn't. Then this morning Silvers began shipping like hot cakes. Now a huge batch of SGs are shipping. It's coming in waves, obviously by color.

FWIW, my father's Max/512/SG shipped Monday morning while my phone (Max/256/Silver) shipped this morning.

Well my card was just charged tax on one of the XS Max phones. As a new customer I did the BOGO to take advantage of the $699 rebate over 24 months on one device. So I wonder if the other XS Max will get processed? Interesting...... order status still shows 10/10

So I guess my first and 2nd bills will be all screwed up if only one phone is activated until the other one in a few weeks (if the 10/10 date holds). Crazy!

Heads up for those of you who paid with Apple Pay... If you ordered multiple devices and they are being charged separately, Verizon will charge separately also. Each Apple Pay charge will fail. I had to call last night when they charged for my XS Max 64GB Silver due to the Apple Pay charge being declined despite having more than enough in the account. They put in a new card and it moved forward to processing and she said it fixed the payment method on the Apple Watch also. However, tonight I got an alert about a declined charge from Verizon for my watch. I had to go to the email I received to correct my payment method. So, I did this and the watch cleared. Thankfully I'll have my XS Max and Series 4 on Friday!

GoldSS 44 is now charged. Waiting on the SBSS 44 to be bumped up and processed now. So far that puts three of my four items in process or shipped.

Shipped: 256 Gold Max and 512 SG Max

Processing: SS Gold 44 AW

Pending: SS SB 44 AW

WOOO! Charged! Btw, ordering without Apple Pay did the trick. My order with Apple Pay was lost in the abyss and I will be canceling it.

Edit: I just received the e-mail to change my payment method. Will just be ignoring it. :D

My CC was charged @ 8:30pm EST. Received two separate emails from Verizon “thanking me for my payment” (these were the payments made on each line to hit the 50%)

Status changed to processing. I would guess a tracking number tomorrow.

My entire order just disappeared from the website! Still shows in the app and when I click the "track my order" button from the email, but no trace of it on the site...

People are just too paranoid about why their phone hasn't shipped. Most shipments from Fed Ex in Memphis are overnight. So IOW, they won't leave Memphis until tomorrow, and will arrive friday. Fed Ex has been doing overnight for years. They know what they are doing. If you are scheduled to get your phone on friday, you WILL get it on friday, unless your payment doesn't clear or there is bad weather that causes a cancellation of the flight.

This is usually true, but last year my two 8 pluses didn't leave Memphis on Thursday night. I didn't get them until Monday. I was so mad! I had back surgery Thursday and was looking forward to entertainment over the weekend! Oh we, hopefully they will delis promised this year. Coming out of NJ this time.

Oh, update:

I got charged an hour ago! I forgot to update my status, haha. I’ve been busy cleaning and getting the house ready for Wifey when she gets home from a business trip.

This literally happened last year with my X and two years before that with my 6s Plus. Verzion has always been on the money for me.

Curious, who else has had their phone go through Elizabeth, NJ?

Same! I’m on the west coast so it seems weird it’s not in Memphis. I was slightly worried but seeing others here in the same situation makes me feel better. Also my package has not automatically appeared in FedEx Delivery Manager like it usually does, so I’m not sure what’s up with that.

Yep west coast too! Both mine and my father's phones are in NJ, his is going to SoCal and mine to Arizona.

When I check on the regular order status page where you don't login and enter order number and location it says my order has been shipped. In the account it still says processing.
 
I’m having mine delivered to a hotel because that’s where we’ll be on Friday. It just occurred to me...the signature just has to be from an adult, correct? Not specifically me? I doubt I can print the waiver because it’s a small family-owned hotel in Gatlinburg so not really geared toward business...no guest computer/printer. It’s gone so easy for me so far (didn’t order until Sunday and it shipped the next day, paid via Paypal so no payment issues, etc) that I’m hoping by me being too impatient to wait until next Tuesday to get it that I didn’t screw things up, lol.
