I shouldn't let this drive me nuts but it is, I paid for the order via phone last night at about 8EST and as of now it still shows "processed, payment not taken yet" and I have no shipping info. Internet sales said the order is complete and I'm good to go for release day delivery, but I'm paranoid and don't have a receipt in my verizon account either..
 
Hey all,

Long time since I've logged on.

Nonetheless, after 5 years overseas I'm finally back on an American cell plan. I ordered two ip5's through Verizon early on the 14th.

I just got my shipping update and it left Memphis late last night on 'Overnight Standard' shipping. Due to my current location, I've never had anything shipped out of Memphis via overnight NOT arrive in 1 day or less.

Is it possible that these might arrive early?

Thanks,
Brian
 
My Story:

I ordered 2 32gb black phones at 2:59am EST. Got an email confirmation for delivery on the 21st.

Last night @ 9pm, I got an email from FedEx saying they had a fraud alert for the exact amount of my iPhone order. The charge was from some weird name. Not Verizon. I authorized the charge @ 11pm when I saw the email.

I checked my order status at verizon and the ship date changed to 10/5.

When I woke up today, I checked the order status and it had a blank ship date.

On the way to work, I got an email from Verizon saying that the order "has been completed and is being shipped to you." There was no ETA in the order. The online status is still blank.

I called Internet sales and they said that the order has been completed and I should get it on the 21st.

As far as I can tell, my AMEX still has not been charged. I will call them next.

definitely call AMEX, I ordered with my charge card and they put a block on it since they thought it was fraudelant. Got it fixed last night and called verizon so they could try it again. My ship date went from 9/21 to 10/5 and now its blank saying ship date not available.

did your email look like this btw?

I'm beginning to think the Black 64GB are the last to be processed because there are a few others in this thread who haven't been charged or received their tracking yet.

I tend to agree with that... I ordered a 64GB Black at 3:15 am EST. No shipping email yet, and my CC only has a pending charge.
 
For those that pre-ordered and payed full price for their iPhone 5 under the line that has the "Unlimited Data". will you get to only use that unlimited under 3G and not LTE(since it's 4G). I've read that once you upgrade to a 4G Device, you're gonna have to sign for a tiered data plan that supports 4G. is this true? i'm getting kind of worried after reading from another forum about "Unlimited Data" plans on Verizon.

Still need to figure out how i'm going to activate the phone when it gets here because there's alot that could go wrong when activating it especially losing the unlimited data...

No, you should be OK. 3G/4G is dependent on the phone, not the data plan. I switched from 4G back to 3G with no hitches before.
 
Anybody else get a 9/26 ship date and get moved up to 9/21? My order is still "In Processing" and I have a ship date of 9/26... Im hoping I get it on 9/21 though... ( I ordered a 16gb black ip5)

Oh and I have no charge on my card yet either...
 
I got a shipment notification yesterday at 12:35pm CST and checked the tracking information -- it's supposed to be delivered today. I ordered a 64gb black iPhone 5 on 9/14 over the phone at 7:00am CST. The tracking page shows 2.0 lbs shipped via Standard Overnight - Indirect. I've attached a couple screenshots for verification (personal information is blurred).

Still nothing for me. My confirm email says 2:47 AM Cdt on 9/14 Ace location 1526901. I'm switching from AT&T and ordered 3 phones. Still in process with expected ship of 9/21 and no preauthorization on my card.
 
Nope. It will ship Thursday v

Just got charged and received my shipping notification - says shipped "standard overnight" today and has been picked up. Think it'll get here before friday?

*side: I pre-ordered at 5:31 am.

Just called FedEx and they confirmed it will be delivered today. I'm not going to get my hopes up, but that'd be pretty sweet.
 
You blurred out 2 different halves of the tracking number in each screenshot fyi. Easily put back together

Doesn't look like an iphone5 order though? recommends an iphone4 case and nobody elses tracking info seems to include a reference number

Most likely, no. The details for all of them say "Future delivery requested," which means Fedex is supposed to hold them until the actual delivery date. I won't be surprised if a couple slip through on Thursday, but I wouldn't count on it.
 
This is BS, they charged me early yesterday (811.86, since I paid retail), and still no friggin tracking # or anything. Ordered right at 1AM MST on the 14th, and its coming from order location W779401. I can view my receipt as well on MyVerizon, so idk wtf is going on.

Calm down, you will still get it Friday, the same time as all of us that have tracking numbers!
 
card has been charged!

Ordered white 32gb around 3:05 am EST, received confirmation at 3:11 am. Status says "Your order has been sent for processing." Card seems to have been charged sometime overnight.
 
No email for me. The page that is linked in my email says 9/21 ship date but the other pre order tracking page says 10/5. I better get it Friday or I will just cancel my pre-order.
 
I finally got charged last night, but I still have no shipping notification. Order confirmation email said 9/21, but it's frustrating seeing so many get their shipping emails while I still wait.
 
same thing for me

Last night my AMEX declined the charge attempt thinking it was fraud. I called AMEX, then Verizon to let them re-try the charge and it did process. Now my preorder still says no payment taken and no ship date.

I called Verizon and they said my payment was received and still scheduled for SEPT 21. But, i am also still paranoid like some others. :(:(

Thanks for the heads-up. I ordered a black iPhone 5 64gb and a white one at the same time, nothing else. I'm not sure what else it could be... maybe Verizon is sending me a box of chocolates for paying full-price!
 
This forum is making news

Looks like this forum is making news - I just read the below article in the Wall Stret Journal this morning which singles out this Verizon Pre-order forum specifically! How many more golden tickets were there today? :)

From the WSJ:
Apple fans will be on full display this Friday, when people line up outside the company's stores to get their hands on the latest iPhone. But the true obsessives already can be found online fretting over the status of their preorders.

MacRumors, for instance, a popular Apple blog, has discussion forums for people who preordered through each of the different U.S. carriers and Apple itself. As of Monday afternoon, the forum for Apple preorders through a Verizon forum alone ran to more than 39 pages.

To give a sense of how desperate people are to get hold of their iPhones, there were streams of comments comparing the status of preorders or Apple aficionados worrying about payment snags.

But not every message was one of fear. In at least one case, a lucky winner posted a screen shot of the golden ticket: a notification email that their iPhone had actually shipped.

I tend to agree with that... I ordered a 64GB Black at 3:15 am EST. No shipping email yet, and my CC only has a pending charge.
