Sucks that Verizon is only offering $100 trade in credit for an iPhone 7 Plus. I would be all over this if I could get some thing closer to the iPhone 8 credit...
 
Looks like my Phone has shipped. Order status says shipped and I have a working tracking number. Won’t get it early though. Says scheduled delivery on the 23rd.
 
Also received tracking info. Holding for delivery on the 23rd. Shipping via FedEx like all past years.
 
I’m on the fence if I want the 12 or 12 pro. Didn’t know if the money was worth it to get the pro compared to the regular 12. I’m coming from a 11 pro max and I’m not a big camera person lol.
 
Well I had to cancel my order since they couldn't reverse the issue somehow so now I'm at the back of the line or my store did say they could get me one on launch day but we shall see.
 
I love this forum !!! great advice forgot all about Best Buy !! I got a phone not in the blue but I got the graphite !! thanks again

I'm still talking to them. I cannot update my payment method online either. Keeps erroring out on me. Doesn't matter if I use my computer or the app. I'm glad I'm not the only person having this issue. They said the only thing we can do now is cancel my order and try again. I'm so annoyed.

The SAME thing happened to my Series 6 Watch last month with them. It pushed my delivery back almost three weeks because of a “payment failure” even though the authorization showed. Talked to 3-4 reps over the phone and not a single one could fix/explain it. All I did was pay with PayPal.
 
No problem Verizon canceled my order and I got on bestbuy and seen the October 23 dates! I still can’t decide if I want the 12 or 12 pro
Yea I went with the 12 pro really wanted the blue since I have space grey now. Maybe they can at least switch me to the silver. Not that it matters if it's going in a case I guess.
 
I've decided I'm just going to hold on for now. Continuing on with my iPad Pro and iPhone SE 2 set up. Enjoy your new phones. I can't wait to see pics. I'll catch up eventually.

Think that's bad, try a 128GB Red iPhone 7: $58 for trade in credit?? I think not! Hello? Swappa? I have a phone for you.
I appreciate the 7/Plus are getting to be older (soon "vintage" ?) models, but they (7's) are selling for $135-199 cash on swappa and even MaxBack offers $98-109.

I also noticed Verizon is charging $40 for "activation". YGBSM. I will likely purchase my family's phones from Apple out of spite for Verizon.

And Verizon order just shipped, gotta say this was the smoothest pre-order year I’ve had other than some issues with the Verizon app saying my phone wasn’t eligible for the upgrade, but working through the desktop. See you all in a year again!
 
No, email from UPS and I checked my order status via my verizon
Anyway you can look at the shipment details while tracking on UPS and see what verizon may be using as a reference number. Apple uses phone numbers but I don’t remember the sequence Verizon uses. Thanks!

Reference number starts with the “W” which is the location code followed by “_” then your order # but add two zeros before order #. So W12345_0012345 as an example
