You can only do that if you preordered in store, online preorders will receive return stuff in the mail (with the new phone) and can only be returned by mail. That's what I had to do last year with the 6 to 6s.
Got a tip for us?

Mt FedEx does not give me ANY options for the delivery. The entire option is grayed out. Sorry
I got my trade in box
[doublepost=1473871926][/doublepost]Fed ex will try to deliver multiple time thought out the day normally I can fedex and then they give the driver my number he calls me and we schedule a time to meet or come get it
Pre-order placed Friday morning, 8:48 AM EST. There's been a pending charge for $1.00 on my AMEX since then, until this morning. Order status still shows PRE, and have not received any other updates. 32GB 7+ Black.

Same here
As far as I can tell, I haven't received my trade-in box and I'm in the same boat as cflasche. The only box I've received from Verizon was the one with new case I ordered for my 7+ (black 256GB). When I got my 6s last year, the box that they asked me to send back my previous device in was the same box that they shipped new phone in, so I'm not sure that they always send a separate box out.
Typically they will not hold a package. Per Verizon they have to make one delivery attempt first. I tried that several times each with no luck. You can try though.
I haven't called but I asked the FedEx driver who drops off every day at my work. He said you should be able to call and request it to be held at station once there is movement. He also said you can leave a note on the door with your signature to be left without being home. Just have to indicate where to leave it. They take the note with them.
When I track my shipment it says indirect signature required which means you can even have a neighbor sign for it.
Thieves will be out in full force tomorrow. Indirect signature is not a smart move.
So 39 pages in, just to be clear. We have no shipping confirmations on anyone who ordered an iPhone 7 Plus, correct?
very true. I live in a very quiet gated community. I am still debating if should still take the risk.. prob not.
Rose Gold 7+ 128GB & Black 7+ 128GB iPhones have had some shipping info for some people.
No, some 7+ models have started to ship. In general it looks like the first wave of RG and MB 128GB 7+'s have started to move.
I personally received two FedEx tracking numbers for 2 RG 7+ 128GB models.
Gold doesn't seem to be moving. JB is slowly starting to update and ship.
There should be a bag and documentation inside the box with the new phone. It goes over what you should do to prepare the phone for shipment, you put it in the bag, seal it, and send the box back to them using the label provided. I believe they provided a label to stick on it as well.
It's so you don't have to go without a phone.
Not true. My phone could hit the fedex system at 4am Friday and still get to me. It's happened.
Yeah, I've had a lot of overnight orders not show up in any system until the morning of delivery. For UPS and FedEx. Amazon will send a shipped email sometimes in the wee hours of the morning with the tracking number.
I've tried that weird FedEx clipboard "trick" on my iPhone, and it looks like it only works with your preorder confirmation number and not other random numbers even if they are nearly identical to the confirmation number. So maybe that means FedEx has my phone right now? Has anyone figured this out yet?
Ya I thought that was what they were gonna do I think it has something to do with how you order it and if it's in store
