Still can't get the phone to show up. Says be the first to know and to enter an email address.
 
Orders have been placed through the Verizon app since around 2:20AM ET.
 
Ok it finally popped up on app for me. I've been refreshing apps on iPad, iPhone and computer it now finally worked. Matte black 256gb est. delivery sept 23.
 
Here's the workaround that still works, posted by a fellow user, and has worked since around 2:20AM ET:

Using the verizon app, on the "shop" page, touch the magnifying glass in the upper-right corner. In the automated search, type in: iPhone 7 Plus

The automated chat will respond with a "Take me there" link. Click on that and customize your device! I put my order in at 2:43AM ET and got:
Apple® iPhone® 7 Plus 128GB in Black
Deliver by 09/23/2016
$419.99
 
Got my 7+ 128gb black ordered through their online site...... Says delivered by the 23rd..... I hope it comes on launch day.
 
I really wish they'd get their crap together with this nonsense... between all the people who get to "skip the line" because of buggy apps and the website taking forever to start working, the model I wanted was already pushed back to 10/5 only 14 minutes after the *supposed* preorder start time. So sick of this crap.

I checked the app at 0245 hrs and it was on there but it kept giving me a error during checkout. I just finally got mine ordered. So took me almost 45 minutes of trying
 
Gave up and ordered mine through Apple. Regretting it a bit because I think I messed something up in my payment and have now suckered myself into a $40 line access fee rather than a $20 line access fee. The phone itself was $419, though, so the difference in price really all boils down to the same total cost but I'm still annoyed with myself for not paying more attention.
 
Finally got through at 3:15. Black 256gb 7+ and Rose Gold 256gb 7+. 23rd ship date for the black and 28th for the Rose Gold.
 
Don't forget too guys Verizon is giving 2gb bonus a month per line on Verizon plan Large and up. This on top of 650 trade it made it well worth the hassle.
 
I'm just watching the ship dates on the my Verizon app. The dates keep changing for the shipping times. I figure the dates given are a error since the system is overloaded right now.
