Ordered 10/6 @ 2:00pm. 16gb white. Card was charged Saturday and phone was shipped today with a delivery date of 10/31. Expected ship date was 11/2. It's only a few days but I'm glad it coming earlier than anticipated. Also live in Southern California San Gabriel valley for anyone interested in the region theory.

Congrats. You ordered a day after me and yours got sent out before mine. Same color and size. I checked my order status again and the 11/16 date wasn't on there anymore. Hopefully it means something, but who knows.
 
16GB white ordered 10/7 in Georgia has finally been charged to my card.. 16GB black was charged yesterday & shipped today w/ ETA of 10/31. Hope the White gets sent today or tomorrow at the latest.

Curious. Which state do you live in?
 
Got my iPhone 5 today. Took exactly 1 month to get it from ordering to having it in my hands. I think it was worth it
 
It's definitely dependent on size, color, etc. I ordered a 32gb black from the verizon website on 10/18 and received it on 10/24 (expected ship date of 10/26). A day or two after I ordered the expected ship date of 32gb phones was pushed back to sometime in November.
 
Still haven't seen any activity on my order. Ordered on 10/8 at Verizon store, with an expected ship date of 11/2. No charged card, status is still: "We received your order and it is in process" as it has been since the day of my order.

Any insight?:confused:

I am in the same boat. 2 black 16gb ordered on 10/8 expected ship date of 11/2. hopefully something changes Tuesday or Wednesday

Same with me too, except I ordered a little later on 10/14, expected ship date 11/2 and nothing has changed, hope there's a change in a couple days as well!!
 
Anyone waiting for their phone to leave Memphis, tn??

Yep... Its just sitting there....

I ordered on the 5th and was charged on the 27th and got shipping info on the 28th. So all things being equal you should be charged tomorrow and get shipping info on Wednesday... If that's true then it will arrive Friday or Monday...

Thanks for the insight. Hopefully I will see some more action tomorrow!

just got the email, my phones shipped. est delivery the 31st; hopefully that date will be on point. so close to getting rid of this useless blackberry that I've had for 2 years. pumped
 
have you success pay for the iphone5 ? may be i have same situation with you, i just order the iphone5 and i add my uncle's verizon account. and i use my own debit card to pay for that. i also worry verizon will kick it off. i asked the verizon,they even don't give me an answer, i think that might be they not understand what i said ?? so i just want to ask your result.
 
ordered mine @ retail about 30 mins ago, however the account is in my wifes name, and I used my credit card to pay for it. it wouldn't allow me to change the "bill to" name (it was auto populated with her name), however it didn't reject it, when I entered my credit card #, etc (though it never asked for the cardholder name, etc).

I got my confirmation email, and if I use the order status website (like others sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't), it shows that it'll be shipped on 9/21 or whatever..

so anyhow know if the credit card name not matching my wifes will kick it back? there was simply no way to change the bill to name, and im guessing since it didn't reject it (since the cc # was right, billing zip, security code, etc), that it should be OK.

also, has anyone had any pending charges, etc on their card etc

Edit: just talked to Verizon (after being on hold 40 mins), they told me the name issue won't hold it up, as long as I entered a valid cc # with the security code, etc that it's good to go. Also said they know that the orders aren't showing up sometimes, but that if you try 2-3 times they do. also said I wont see any charges on my credit card until it ships, so I guess they don't put any kind of hold on it (I know crappy sprint did when I got the 4s last year).

10/8 order for a 16 black has been charged on my card and the status page now changed to showing a grid with a tracking number. However, no tracking info shown. But, it seems like recent people get the tracking info soon after they been charged.

I'll let you know if I do.
 
Delayed yet AGAIN by Hurricane Sandy. Still hopefully for Friday to get the phone, though. It's stuck in Linwood, PA right now.
 
So it is reasonable to assume that once the i5 purchase has been charged to your credit card, it is about to be shipped? I guess what I am asking is this: Verizon doesn't take a hit on the credit card until it has what you ordered in stock and is about to UPS it to you?

Yeah pretty much but I got mine via FedEx. When they charge your card they're about to ship and you'll have it at your door within 3-5 business days after charge has been charged. Mine was charged Wednesday and shipped Thursday and got here Monday

Ahh, thanks. Appreciate the info.

But that isn't always the case. I ordered a white 16GB iPhone 5 on 10/5. My card was charged Sunday, yet my expected shipping date changed from 10/26 to 11/16. No phone, no email, no tracking number, nothing. Called Verizon and they said 10/28 was an automated day for the money to be taken out of my account, "assuming" that the phone had been shipped by then.
