I ordered at 1:52 Central Time on VZW.com, and it has said 9/21 all along, then switched to 9/26, but now back to 9/21. This happened last year with the 4S too, received it on launch day though.

same here i ordered around 1:54 am CST. Mine has never changed though fom 9/21 16 gb black.

im using the order status link from the email.

What order number did you use to sign in? I used the ore order number as well as the order number, but it says it's wrong.
 
Interestingly enough, if I put my order # into the normal check order status page (the one that doesn't seem to work), after 4 or 5 tries it works. That pages still says "ships 9/21". Either way, I'm disappointed I won't be receiving it on the release date (unless these are all glitches).

On AT&T when I preordered my iPhone 4 I received the phone on the release date.

Good observation. I hadn't yet been able to get the email link to work. I was working from the website status link. The website shows the 26th but, like you, after trying the email status link a few times, it worked. That link says the 21st. There's certainly glitches going on, for sure.

Edited to add: And now the website link is back to showing the 21st as someone mentioned above.
 
Has anyone had any luck getting Verizon to allow them to pre-order and get the discount even if they aren't quite eligible yet? The Verizon website says my iPhone 4 isn't eligible for an upgrade until 10/07/12. I'm hoping they will let me go ahead and upgrade now and still get the discount. Otherwise if I have to wait until Oct 7th to order I'm thinking shipping times are going to be so backed up I probably won't get the phone until November.

Although part of me is tempted to just order now and pay full price so I can get it sooner, and keep my unlimited data plan/regular family plan instead of having to switch to a family share plan and have a data limit.

Just pre-ordered a 32GB over the phone at the discounted price, my upgrade data was 10/12. I had called on Wed and asked if they could move my upgrade date. The guy I talked to looked at how long I'd been a customer, payment history, if I'd had any billing disputes and said he didn't think it'd be a problem to move my date but I'd have to call when pre-orders were actually open to confirm.

The girl I talked to this morning said she was able to push an early upgrade through because I had talked to someone earlier who told me I had a good chance of getting it. She did have to put me on hold for a while. It never hurts to ask, worst case scenario they just say no.
 
I ordered about 5:00est this morning via Verizon's site. I still haven't received a confirmation email.
 
16GB White has said since the start delivery date is 21st

16GB Black said by 21st now it is unavailable at this time for a delivery time. No idea why it has changed like that.

Talked to customer service who told me any 16/32GB phone ordered now will be delivered by the 21st, 64GB phones are out of stock at this point.
 
What order number did you use to sign in? I used the ore order number as well as the order number, but it says it's wrong.

In chrome, or at least for me, don't hit enter after entering in your details, click the "Check" button. That works for me. Hitting enter returns an error.

Yea I used the check button and it said error but I pressed the back button and it showed up saying 9/21, but now I can't get it back lol

On 16GB Verizon phones shipment now expected 9/26.
For people that ordered early or for people ordering now?
 
is there a signature release form similar to what they have if you order through apple but for the verizon order? i will likely be at work when its delivered...

No but they deliver FedEx. I have never had a problem with leaving a signed note at the door. But it is totally up to the driver if they will accept it.
 
Under the preorder status, do you guys have "ship date 9/21" or "delivery date 9/21?"

Mine is ship date, so I dunno if this means I'll get it on the 26th or what?
 
FYI those who paid with a debit card, and it says credit on your email, a rep told me it will be charged in the next couple of days, and not when it ships.

Something odd I've noticed -- when checking order status (from the link in the confirmation email), where it asks for your last name, I have to enter it in all lower-case letters in order for the form to work. Regular capitalization or all-caps gives me an error message.

Sadly I get the error message every time not sure why
