At least in my location here in Jacksonville, FL, they had yesterday.
Mine has made its way from Newark up to the North Country. I expect it will hit Manchester, NH tonight.

So here's where I'm at:
New line order 1: Additional info requested - finally got a useful rep who pushed the order through. She also said that orders before 9am on 9/14 will arrive 9/21, orders between 9a-11a will be 9/26 and orders after that are 10/5. Email says "COMPLETED." Card charged. Still no tracking info. Shows 2 day shipping though.
New line order 2: Went through fine. Email says "COMPLETED". Card charged. Still no tracking info. Shows 2 day shipping though.
Upgrade order: Went through fine. Email says "COMPLETED". Card charged. Still no tracking info. Shows next day shipping.
All were placed within 5 mins of each other around 4am PST. First rep I spoke to said ALL orders placed on 9/14 will SHIP on 9/21.
I feel so screwed by this process, as a business customer who spends tens of thousands pof dollars w/ VZW every month.
me too but
i have a %25 discount on all wireless accessories with ATT through my work, so i think im going to wait until att carries car charges and cases and i am going to go grab them.
Got my package held! (Hopefully)
Called my local FedEx facility again to follow up with the nice lady I spoke to yesterday.
She was able to see my shipment since all the information is now on their system. She had to type an override for me to be able to pick it up there.
She did say that sometimes the driver doesn't see the notes she typed and it might still go out on the van for delivery.
Either way, I'll stop on my way to the airport tomorrow to see if it is there. If it is there GREAT! If not, oh well, just glad to see she was nice enough to try.
Worse comes to worse, looking forward to seeing it next week when I get back. I'll also try to look in SF to see some of the demo phones to see if I'd really like the iPhone 5 etc.

Fedex has dropboxes, and actual deliveries. They typically deliver twice a day, and pickup twice a day. Before 11, and before 3pm.
Fedex's last pickup of the day [Eastern time] is 7pm for packages/mail.
Jealous???
"It seems UPS and FedEx cant hold these back, because were getting emails that people and stores are starting to get iPhone 5 shipments."
I am!

I know this is completely OT, so I apologize. But do you also get a discount on your calling plan through work? I am supposed to, and I'm just switching to VZW, but when I pre-ordered I didn't actually see a discount on my calling plans. But, I wanted the thing by tomorrow so I ordered anyway.

Mines done the same, what does shipment information received mean?
No, I'm lucky enough to work from home.
I mean a lot of people had no option at checkout to change the address from billing and were told no by CS. I've read posts by several people over the last few days on this issue.
this was my original question because... I thought the shipment information was received before it even started moving..?
I personally would NEVER do this (er, "...relieve VZW and FedEx of all responsibility for the shipment...") as it allows for the possibility that the FedEx employee could simply keep the package, knowing it likely was an iPhone 5. Look, people are people - not perfect delivery robots. The iPhone 5 will sell for ~ $1000 in China now.
For anyone who is getting FedEx delivery tomorrow and is not going to be home, you have the option of going on the FedEx website now and asking for your package to be held at the Fedex office. This way it is secure, and you can pick it up ASAP - my local Fedex even allows pickup after normal hours so long as I call in advance.
My guess would be that a charge on your card is the most reliable sign that you're phone is going out. It could still miss getting loaded on a truck, or a million other things that a mass shipment like this could cause, but I can't see Verizon justifying getting paid (and from what little I remember from my Commercial Law class, "pending" still means a vendor has received their money) and not sending out the product.
I could be wrong. But, with everything else you've said, I think you're fine.
