Got mine.

Also for those that need to activate it that used the data plan loophole.

Call 1 800 922 0204. You will need your billing password.

Anybody hear any news on people who ordered after friday if their phones are shipping yet?

Any Oct 5th shipper seeing movement yet? Just curious

American Express called me today thinking that the Verizon charge was fraudulent. I assured them it was not but they declined the charge and the customer service rep said this is happening over the new iphone orders today from Verizon, some problem with Verizon. I am on hold with Verizon customer service and the automated system now says it will ship by October 19th! (I originally had a Sept. 26th ship date). Anyone else have this problem with American Express?

Same thing happened to me. I was supposed to get the phone yesterday, but my card was declined. I called Verizon 5 times, and the first 4 times they said there was nothing they could do, and that I lost my place in line and the phone would be shipped on the 19th. They said there was nothing else they could do, no one else I could talk to, etc.

The 5th time I called a girl told me all of those people were wrong. She hit a payment button on her end, and within 10 seconds my card was charged. Amazing that she did all this in less than a minute, when I spent probably a combined hour talking to the other Verizon reps who said they could do nothing to help me.

My shipment date is now blank, but she says I will get the phone on Wednesday, which I believe because she's the only person there who apparently knows what they are doing. I can only think that maybe they hired temps to deal with the iPhone launch?

Don't give up, call and call until you find someone who will do this for you.

Ship date of the 26th just changed to order is being processed.

 

[Crooks]

guess mine should change to "being processed" in ~2 days since my deliver by date is 9/28.

 

[emailtvo]

My expected ship date 9/26 order has been charged as well and is "sent in for processing." No tracking yet

I wouldn't expect it. I have a date of 9/28 as well and my status hasn't changed yet.

I think he meant he should see some action in about 2 days

 

[emailtvo]

I think that's what he/she was saying. They are expecting to see movement in about 2 days, or Monday, because 9/26 starting seeing movement today.

I've had my since 4pm. It's perfect, but there's a small chip in the metal out of the box, so I'm having it replaced tomorrow. Otherwise, an incredible phone, black/slate is amazing.

Update: Went to my Apple store and left a half hour later with a brand-new replacement iPhone 5. They said that it was unacceptable for it to arrive in that condition and they made sure that the replacement was free of any marks, nicks, dents, scratches, etc. This replacement is perfect. Apple customer service is amazing.

My preorder was cancelled because I needed to verify my identity. My agent also told me my new expected arrival date will be on/before Wednesday, so it's nice to see other people with the same date that I have.

Preordered from Verizon and my ship date was supposed to be 9/26 but today my status changed to "Your order has been sent for processing" and my ship date is 10/05/2012. Pretty mad

EDIT: Refreshed and now the ship date is blank

You should see movement in the next couple days, I have the same date and my status was updated today to "order being sent for processing". So hopefully we get tracking numbers sometimes Monday.

Have you tried this link. https://preorder.verizonwireless.com/iconic/iconic/screens/IconicSearchInit.do The dates changed on mine as well, but it changed back after a while. Hopes thats the case with yours too.

Check this link - apparently, some October delivery dates are being moved back to be delivered earlier than predicted...

I checked mine (same ship date) today and got a graphic with my order number on top and a tracking number box that was blank. Hopefully, this is a good sign. Nothing on my CC yet.

Yeah mine was the same way I refreshed a few times ..it even said 10/19 once and I flipped out....I'm pretty sure we'll have them on or before 9/26

That's where I'm getting my information from.

I think that macrumors article is meant for APPLE.COM orders. Carriers seem to be staying at their original ship dates as far as i can tell...

They just charged my card! Ship date 26th (says 21st on order status look up but I know it's 26th)

Played with my buddies iPhone 5 today and i'm in love !!

Gmee's quote - "Have you tried this link. https://preorder.verizonwireless.com/iconic/iconic/screens/IconicSearchInit.do The dates changed on mine as well, but it changed back after a while. Hopes thats the case with yours too."

Thanks!! Much better information link. Interesting that using Vz's original confirmation email's "Check my order" link, I have to use the ORDER number, but on this link, it's the confirmation number. At the least, the ship date hasn't changed ... still the 26th. But that's not too far away now.

I sure hope that happens to me, too. Waiting is miserable!

 

[youradhere4222]

Ordered mine today and the ship by date is October 19th. It looks like they bumped it immediately from October 5th to the 19th.

Does anyone know how to get more information about the supply Verizon has? I'm wondering what the chances are that mine will be delivered sooner than the 19th. :/

 

[ohplayalong]

I have an expected ship date of 9/28. So far are the shipdates seeming to be accurate? Also my order status is "We have received your order and it is in process", does that seem about right for a ship date of 9/28? I have never preordered anything so I am slightly lost.
