No email from verizon. funds still there. But I tried the trick of location#_order#(which 0s making it 9 digits long) at ups.com and it worked. Shipping label has been printed. 2nd Day Air. I have my tracking number and signed up for notifications for when it goes out and when it is delivered since it is coming to work.
Ordered from verizon.com at approx. 2:20am CST on 10/7. I was one of the early ones, yet, I am somewhat 'late' to find my shipping label created in relation to others...but I could care less. Why? B/c I am getting my phone on Friday like everyone else, kids.
This didn't work as of an hour ago but now worked so I recommend to everyone to just sit tight and for the love of god stop calling verizon. They really don't know much more than use, at least their people, and honestly, if I were them, I would probably start giving out fake answers to toy with your brains.
If you preordered, you will get your phone on Friday. End of story.
