Just wanted to give an update on my order status. I called customer service today to find out exactly what happened to my JB+ 256GB order from 3:11 AM that was pushed back to 11/16 over the weekend. I originally thought it was just a notice of delay in shipment, but they attempted to charge my card and the authorization failed. This was because the card billing address didn't match the billing address on the account. Rather than contact me asking for a different card, they just flat out cancelled the order and automatically placed a new order for the same phone without asking me. My order would have been shipped out this weekend if the card had worked.
I ended up placing a new order for a MB+ that won't get here until late October. I'm incredibly frustrated with Verizon about this whole process. I also ordered a rose gold 256GB + that had to be cancelled for the same reason.
I would be trying to grab a reservation at the Apple Store, but I'm on a business account and I'm trying to get the Verizon trade-in promo.
