Yep, for what it's worth, I never received a text either.

Anybody know what shipping method Verizon usually uses? I was never given an option when I ordered.
I didn't see one either. Last year, I remember receiving my iPhone 5 from Verizon from UPS. I'm in San Francisco.
 
My card got charged - however my issuing bank flagged it as fraud so I had to go unflag it. That may have affected my shipment but who knows - verizon status check still says "payment not taken yet"
 
My card got charged last night but Chase declined and sent me to fraud prevention. I approved the charge but now my estimated ship date is "unknown". VZW says it shows as Sep 24 on their end with payment received so I'm hoping the website is just slow to update.
 
Mine currently says "your ordering has been sent for processing" and shows all these numbers. The expected ship date is blank though now though when it said 9/24. :( I hope it doesn't affect the time.
 
My original email from Verizon said it will ship by 9/24. If I check using the preorder site, it says shipping by 9/30. If you try to order on as a new customer, it shows an 11/04 ship date. This is for a gold 64gb.
 
I am annoyed. I ordered at 345am eastern time.

16gb gold said October 14th on email. Than I click verify and still says October 14th as shipping date.

32gb gold said email ship date Sept 20th. But clicking verification says ships October 21

32gb space gray said email ship date sept 20th also. But clicking verification with order number says October 7th. So space gray? Might as well ordered from apple store directly.

Does Verizon not know what's it's doing especially space gray should be available now.

I ordered a 32gb space gray at about the same time. My ship by date in the verification email was 9/24, when I click the link it's the same as you, 10/7. But my card was charged this morning, so I assume it will be shipped soon.
 
My card was charged, and my order information changed to include a tracking number but one hasn't been generated yet so it's left blank.
 
I was charged this morning as well.

Usually they only charge when they start shipping (from my experience with the 5 and the 4s).

Good sign.
 
I see the charge on my CC. The charge is in pending status though.

16gb gray ordered at 3am.
 
Ahh. It's starting. I love these threads every year. I look forward to them. Speculation, panic, joy, excitement. People helping one another. Tracking FedEx planes to see exactly where their phone is at any given moment. Actually stalking the FedEx driver. Trying to have them hold it at the depot. The unfortunate credit card incidents. Incorrect billing zip codes. Cancelled orders.

The next few days will be fun. I guess this is our equivalent of camping out at an Apple store. Everybody sit back, relax and have a good time knowing that in a matter of days, your phone will be in your hot little hands.
 
I had my order in my cart at 3:00am, final checkout at 3:12.

Checked my preorder status and mine has been update now to show order# and tracking which is blank so far, says will ship by 9/24/13...I actually assume it will ship Monday the 23rd and I should have it by Friday I would assume.

I'm completely guessing, but I think if it ships monday - which I think it will - we'll have it by wednesday or thurs. VZW says they use 2-day shipping on their website for IN STOCK phones.

OK, I'm good with that:D
