Folks that have had their phones stuck in West Chester, PA... our phones are now on the move! Mine is now in Philly.
Same here. Every year it’s the same when we order from Verizon. Hardly any updates until either the night before or in some cases the morning of. I don’t know why Verizon wants to lock down the tracking so bad. Frustrating. Even though I know to expect this it still frustrates me every year. Probably because if something were to go wrong there’s not even a slight chance to detect it early, and we all know Verizon doesn’t give a hoot.
 
I was looking for the same thing. Delivery is supposed to be tomorrow but even o UPS Choice, there are no details, such as what FedEx provides. It's been a while since I tracked anything through UPS but I thought they used to provide more information.
 
Sierra blue 1TB Pro Max preordered 9/17 about 10 minutes after preorders opened, originally estimated for delivery on 9/24, earlier today changed to "Delivery date will be updated soon." No email from Verizon and no tracking info available - yet.

Coincidentally, there are two new pending items on my FedEx account being shipped to me from "MasonHub" (a logistics company) in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, each at 1 kb. The new phone and the trade-in box, perhaps?
Personally, I would call or start a chat with Verizon to get clarification about the odd change on their shipping ststus. On the other hand, the FedEx info could very well be your phone and a second item. On my verizon shipping detais there are two tracking numbers. One references a sim and the other the Sierra Blue Pro. My shipping is with UPS. Says shipped to deliver from Fresno tomorrow by 7:00 but no other details. Also, checking either tracking number they both reference the same thing.
 
Ordered Graphite Pro Max 256. My Verizon orders always ship Fedex from Memphis. It's showing that it has now left Memphis with delivery tomorrow.

Chatted with Verizon and was reassured that my phone would ship later today and arrive tomorrow, 9/24. Great if true but I'll believe it when I see it... 😅

Both of mines still hasn’t updated since the Sept. 20th. One in Fresno CA and the other in West Chester PA with a delivery date of tomorrow in Queens, NY.
 
Yesterday I tweeted @UPS with this question. They responded saying the shipment is restricted and UPS Choice can not be used either to change the shipping location or to arrange for delivery without signature. Appears Verizon has shipped with these specific restrictions.
 
So mine finally departed from facility all good now 💪

Mine only says "On It's Way" with no other movement details 🤔

Edit: Lol guess reading is in fact fundamental. Took another look and noticed I somehow overlooked the option to select "shipment details."
 
I ordered the iPhone 13 Pro at around 9 on September 17th and the phone is yet to ship (I don't even have a tracking number). It stills says the expected delivery date is tomorrow should I expect it to arrive tomorrow at this point?
 
I am really hoping (but highly doubt) the phone arrives before my lunch break so that I can use my lunch break to set it up lol.

Were they all ordered at the exact same time?

Not really by "pre-order" timing standards IMO. Ironically, the Gold got tracking first, then the next day the 512 Graphite. Nothing on the 1TB that was ordered earliest.

Pro Max 1TB around 8:03AM

Pro Max 512GB Graphite around 8:30ish

Pro Max 512GB Gold around 8:47ish
 
Has anyone with a 1TB Pro or Pro Max received shipping info yet? Mine was ordered right as preorder started and is "estimated to deliver on Sep 24," but doesn't appear to have shipped yet.

***and within an hour or so of my posting that, it shipped via FedEx - but delivery can't be modified to be picked up at a FedEx location ***
What color did you order?
 
I don't get why they took such a hardline position this year. Pre-signing waives liability, so let people evaluate the risk for their personal situation and decide for themselves. :rolleyes:
Does it say on your tracking info that it requires signature? Mine is shipping from UPS as well, but it’s not showing it needs signature 🤔
 
Interesting. Mine has that little note that means Verizon added the restrictions that delivery location can not be changed and the signature requirement can not be waived.

Mine finally shipped (the app still shows it hasn't yet but I got an email). Label created at 4:06pm, arrived at West Chester at 9:14 and left at 10:42. Tracking said it is 2 lbs but the email shows it is both phones.

It never showed up on my UPS account because East is still missing at the end of my address and my last name is absolutely butchered. It is right on my account so I bet you the agent I talked to accidently changed that instead of correcting my address like she said she was doing.
