I heard some people were getting their phones before Wednesday (which was my expected delivery date), but I just checked the tracking history and FedEx says it is on the truck out for delivery :D

Me too. But I am not at home today, may be tomorrow
 
Out for delivery in San Francisco.

Meanwhile, the cases from Apple have been sitting in Anaheim since Friday... With UPS 2 Day (paid $10 extra for shipping... Should have left it to USPS)

I live in San Francisco and my 32GB black 5S is sitting at "shipment information send to Fedex" when they said they picked it up from Verizon on Sunday. I ordered at 11:58PM and got an email confirmation at 12:00. This has probably been my worst experience with Fedex yet...
 
This is literally what mine looks like... It's in Memphis and I'm in Wheaton, IL - a suburb near Chicago. Guess it's gonna start moving again late laaaate tonight or early tomorrow morning.

I'm in Chicago too, buddy. Mine's coming from PA, and I'm pretty sure we'll both have ours tomorrow.
 
Hello all,
Just curious if anyone in a similar situation has heard news from Verizon regarding their 5s's. Our order was placed placed Thursday (9/19) at the Verizon store under the understanding they would order our phones (2-Slate Grey 16GB and Gold 16GB) right away friday morning. They are to be shipped to Central Minnesota. It sounds as a lot of people ordered theres online early friday rather than ordering through the store. It would be great to hear from those who did and if not we will continue to wait patiently.

Thanks!

I am just guessing here: if u ordered in store, I am assuming they would only reserve from the inventory they were allocated for their store, not order it online at 3:01 am Friday.

That is my 2 cents.
 
Just got notice from my credit card that Verizon had made the charge. No update on Verizon's pre-order page but my account now shows the equipment charge receipt. I still have a expected shipping date of 9/30/2013 showing on Verizon.
 
Woo! Order shipped. tracking # and all. Gonna look into it and see if I can get a more accurate time when it'll be coming - gonna be out tomorrow.

Correct. I'm wondering if I'll be looking at longer wait times than others are posting here.
 
I ordered two phones right at 3AM EDT - 16GB Space Gray and 64GB Gold. My confirmation email has a timestamp of Fri, Sep 20, 2013 at 3:07 AM. Both unsubsidized to keep unlimited data.

Nice. Visa just called to see if this order with Verizon was a fraudulent charge, so I guess my order is going through :)

It is robbery what these phones cost unsubsidized, especially with this article that just appeared on the front page - but thats a different story :)

Picked up in TN - estimated delivery for Thursday by 8pm. Was hoping for tomorrow, but not complaining :D
 
My 64GB Gold 5S has shipped! I now have a tracking number that shows it's shipping from TN and should be here Thursday (I am in MA).

Hooray!
 
My order was in processing, up until my last check 30 minutes ago when my status changed to shipped with FedEx tracking numbers.

2 64GB Golds in Memphis, TN just shipped out with tracking, due for So California. Both say delivery by Thursday, September 26 before 8PM.

Things have begun finally moving along...

Still the same for me, since yours got shipped and our orders were quite similar,i'm hoping mine's will soon too.
 
I ordered at 12 and live in Los Angeles but the FedEx status hasn't changed from shipment information received.

Wondering if it just hasn't updated since I see other people in SoCal area shipments moving already.
 
Just got home from class and finally see the charge showed up on my card! VZW emailed me my tracking number and I have an estimated delivery of Thur 9/26/2013 4:30 pm for a Gold 64gb in SoCal.
 
Just got a shipment email from Verizon for my girlfriend's 64GB Gold phone. Estimated delivery Thursday. Works for me :)

Wonder if they just got their shipment of the 64gb golds. Bet they were sweating bullets haha. Still no FedEx truck yet :/

I was sweating a bit too lol, it almost seemed too good to be true that I'd have a gold 64 GB (one of the rarest models) from Verizon of all people less than a week after ordering. My silver one is set to be delivered from Apple either tomorrow or Thursday, and for a while there I was expecting to get an email from Verizon saying the gold has been pushed back, which would have pissed off my girlfriend. So it's good to know it's on the way as they promised. They promised shipping by 9/24 and that's what they did.
 
I'm personally gonna sign the form to put on my door and tell then to put it in my backyard because I won't be home tomorrow to sign for it :/ I hope they leave it and don't delay!
