If I go through Target do I have to pay for it outright? Or can I add it to my existing Verizon Plan and pay for it in monthly installments?
 
Wow, they really need to do something for the people who's order got jacked up due to their negligence. Back of the line doesn't get it done in that circumstance.
 
got both my iPhone 6S+'s today.

ordered 09/25 with 10/12 delivery date, got it a day later on the 13th, not bad! FedEx actually had the phones ready yesterday but held is as the product was 'not due for delivery'

They're an authorized reseller. So they can do the monthly option with Verizon. You can add to your existing. I had an existing account for my wife so I ported my T-Mobile phone number into it.

0 down. 35 and change a month.
 
Good grief. I just got the e-mail that my payment information doesn't work. You know, the same credit card that the monthly charge goes to every single month. Now I have to call and try not to go to the end of the line.

Edit: Per Verizon rep:

"It's a known issue where the credit card info doesn't get "sent over" and there is no attempt to charge. Allegedly it looks like a credit card decline, but it's not actually been processed b/c the field transfers over with random letters and numbers and not the cc number."

They repeatedly couldn't get my Discover to work b/c they get an "invalid merchant ID" error each time. Same with my other CC, so it's not the card. It's something with the order.

Just got mine today as well! Ordered 9/21. 64gb SG plus. Loving it so far! Hope all is well with yours too!
 
Been stalking for a while but want to update.

Ordered 64gb space grey 6s plus on the 25th at 7am central time. Got email yesterday it would be delayed. Just check my credit card and there is a charge on my Device. Just wanted to inform you guys.

Have probably spent an hour on the phone with Verizon trying to get issues that THEY confirm are theirs straightened out. On a $1500+ order they give me a $20 credit for my trouble and that is allegedly the best they can do. Oh, and who knows when the stuff will ship.

Going to have to think long and hard about dropping these off at the local Verizon store if they ever arrive and switching carriers. Trouble is, they're all this bad.
 
I was feeling pretty pessimistic, but then sometime btw 7 and 9:30 tonight they charged my card! My order is being sent to the warehouse for shipment! Now just have to wait for my tracking #

6s+ SG 64 G , ordered 9/25, original ship date of 10/12

I find it odd that they moved the ship dates to 10/19

Yep same for our SG 64g 6s+ looks like we were next in line
 
9/25 orders are moving. I ordered my 64 gm space gray on the 26th. I called Verizon to check in and they say everything is pending my device being ready to ship. Aside from the "pending" status they can't say whether that means shipping now or some time in the future. Hurry up and wait :)

They said my info didn't transfer over. I had to give it to them over the phone. And he ended up having to "login to a different system" to get it to work. It eventually worked and YES, it's the same card I always use to pay for anything dealing with Verizon. :/
 
I just got a status change to:

Your order is in process. Please check back later.

Below the status is info on returning the device. Curious if mine is starting to move. No charge yet though.

As soon as I saw a status change last year during the 6 Plus nightmare I got shipping info.

My order info:
9/26
6s+ 64gb Gold
Over the phone

Sounds like what happened to me today. I had to give them my CC info again, but they told me I probably wouldn't see a charge until the 18th before it ships for the 19th...

So much for pre-ordering on the 12th.
 
Update:

My card just got charged this evening. I also got the estimated ship date of 10/12 and the email for the 10/19 delay.

Ordered:
9/27
SG 6S+ 128GB

Status:
Your order is currently being processed. Please check back later.

Ok just got a pending charge. Looks like my order is shipping. 9/27 64 Gold 6s+
 
The rep said there should be some updates tonight with tracking numbers by tomorrow. Delivery by FedEx or UPS by Friday. Good luck, everyone! :)
 
After being repeatedly told that I couldn't have my iPad "early" because it had to ship together with my new phone, they are shipping separately. Go figure..

Carriers just love messing with us. Biggest case of "the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing" I've ever experienced in life.
