Verizon iPhone 5 Preorder Status Thread

My card was billed yesterday and I have the receipt. It usually takes a day or two for the charges to show up in my online account though. I still do not have a tracking number.
Got my confirmation email!
Then I realized they are shipping it to the wrong address
Can I call FedEx to change the address before it gets all messed up in the depths of NYC's FedEx sorting facility?!
No. Verizon does not let you change the shipping address, and Fedex wont either unless you get verizon's permission.
Now calling order location N215401, please come to the front desk...
Let's check in. I ordered a 16 GB black iPhone 5. I'm order number 36XXX and I have a deliver/ship date of 09/21/2012. As of right now, there has been no pending transaction to my credit card, and I have no shipping information. So if you're order location N215401, don't freak out.

Last year, for 4s, I called verizon internet sales department and changed shipping address. I never saw the change anywhere, email, order status, or fedex (still said original city), but the FedEx lady showed up at new address with box, old address crossed out with marker and new address written by hand over it. So, they changed it for me (from home to work, since no one was going to be there to sign for it).
Last night my credit card had the pending transaction from Verizon and this morning I got the email saying it has shipped through Fed Ex and should be here by Friday the 21st by 3PM! I'm so excited for it to finally get here!! The only thing is nobody will be home to sign for it so I'm thinking about having Fed Ex hold it at a location for me so I can pick it up whenever I have time.
It's showing up as shipped on the 18th, just checked FedEx tracking. Many people reported that they received their 4's/4s a day or two earlier than launch. Funny how the VZW page said the 21st then changed to the 20th. Just saying, I might be one of the lucky ones, but I'm not betting the house on it.
Where are you located? Did you get a receipt from verizon? Did it say overnight or 2 day delivery?? What was your order number?
Awww yea... Just got my shipping confirmation and FedEx tracking# from Verizon. My 5 is now sitting in Memphis, TN. It just got real. 
Ordered on the 14th around 8 AM, order location D772101, so far no charge on the card and no status updates from the original "We have received...".
Is Verizon shipping multiple packages? I see some people commenting here that they have multiple tracking numbers, I ordered 2 16gb black iphones, I got two emails for each of my phone numbers but with the same order number and tracking number. One email said, it has shipped and the other said its processing. I would assume they would ship both the phones in the same packages, right?
Checking in.
Ordered a 64GB Black at 5:30am EST. Order 35XXX, still processing with no charges.
Got shipment notification emails from verizon, Fedex tracking says overnight, I'm in the Dayton, OH area.
Also I ordered 4 Black 16GB, and received 4 shipment status emails, but they are all on the same tracking number.
Preordered around 8am CST on the 14th. Received the confirmation email within minutes. Location N211401 order #53***
No charge on my card of any kind and online status still says its in process. Kind of nervous.

My shipping e-mail came in at 11:11. FedEx. Shipped on the 18th with future delivery requested. It shows an expected delivery date of the 19th, but we know that won't happen. This is just like last year for the 4S. II expect to receive the phone when FedEx is usually in my area around 11:30-12:30 on Friday. Credit card was also charged today. So it is on its way
* I preordered mine the minute it went on sale. Received my receipt 30 minutes later with delivery of 9/21.
* Received a fraud alert email from AMEX last night and called immediately to tell them to let the charge go thru, which they said they did, however looking at my order status showed a new ship date of 10/5.
* I call VZW last night to see what's going on and they were less than helpful. Basically told me that "we sold out so fast that we have to wait for more shipment to come in." I tell him that he's got to be wrong b/c I ordered at 3am EST and I had coworkers that ordered at 7am and they are still getting theirs on 9/21
* Reading this forum, I call the Internet Sales dept. and they are immensely helpful. Said that they see the charge on my card and that everything is still set to go for 9/21 delivery. That said, I'm still seeing 10/5 sometimes when I go to the order status website, but more often than not I see "not available" or an empty data field.
* I received this email, which looks a lot different from what others have shared, but gives me hope that I'm okay (well, that and the fact my AMEX was charged last night.)
