Anyone do the free iPhone 7 promotion by trading in an iPhone 6 Plus? Was wondering if your traded iPhone ever made it to its destination?

I didn't do the trade in promotion for the 7 but I did just complete a trade in offer online for my 6s plus 128gb. They offered 650 for it. Not sure how or why as I ordered the 7 plus 256 gb on pre order day then three days ago submitted a trade online for my 6s plus. I shipped it Friday and they received it today according to USPS. Sure it will take a week or two see anything.

Thanks for the info. I shipped mine back last Thursday and it had not arrived yet. Estimated delivery was this past Saturday. If it does not arrive tomorrow I will have to contact USPS. Sure wish Verizon had the return shipping set up as insured. Will be out $650 if it doesn't make it back
 
I preordered the iPhone 7 Plus MB 128 GB, using the annual upgrade program. I've never done the trade in before with Verizon. I have not received my phone or a return box. Do I call Verizon and request a return box, or is it sent automatically once the phone ships? Any advice will be appreciated.

They should be sending you a box right away. I'd give them a call.
 
10/12 estimated ship date. No changes yet. :(

Thanks, I just got off the phone with them and was told that the return label will be included in the box the 7 Plus will be coming in, and to just use that box.

Excellent news... and btw your name definitely suits you
 
7+ 128gb matte black. Almost went with the 256gb. Maybe should have, considering they seem to be shipping out sooner. Oh well, too late to change it now.

So I was charged Thursday of last week. Verizon order status page shows a ship date of 9/22, UPS tracking shows Label Created 9/23. Been stuck on "Order Processed Ready for UPS since Saturday Morning. I signed up for UPS MyChoice and it gives an "Estimated" Delivery of 9/27. Still stuck on processed though and sitting 6 hours away.

Seriously Verizon?
 
I placed my order on 9/13 for 256gb Black 7+, I was given an estimated ship date of 10/4. I was excited to receive a shipping notification today along with a UPS tracking number....so about a week sooner than expected.

yeah, UPS has really been sucky with me too. i chatted with a rep this morning and even though it doesn't say when it will be delivered on the site, she said it would be delivered tomorrow 9/27 (i got charged on Thursday too).

MIne is coming today!:apple::) I can't decide what to wear for the occasion either. Funny thing is I will be in a 4 hour meeting but will have someone text me when it comes in. I will slip
Out of the meeting when it arrives to "handle some important business." I will try and activate it quickly and then go back to the meeting and play with it for the rest of the time. maybe outside of the case someone will notice it's NOT the six plus:confused: and ask me how I like it. Of course I'll say it was an adjustment for about a week but now it feels completely normal;).

First time I'm doing the Verizon exchange as well. There should be some type of proof I can get when I return it? May take it to the store and make them do it.
 
Same here, but I'm happy to see everyone else seeing movement on theirs. I just can't wait to see some on mine.

Well I am hoping you see movement on yours as well. Only down side is pleasant people like yourself poof from the forums one the phone is here. Me I enjoy hearing the shipping horrors, people talk about features they like and dont and all the other stuff

Congrats if you got jet black everyone will know it's not a 6s
