Carrier Verizon Wireless 2019 iPhone Pre-Order Thread

[Jbrac25]

Anyone know if it’s possible to add a line to take advantage of the $500 trade in credit, but then switch it over to the iPad data line? Thanks

I’m not seeing the iPhone 11 available when I try to upgrade through the Verizon app. I usually just let order through them every year. Do you have to go through apple this time? I only have one payment left until I’m eligible and it gives me the option to pay it but doesn’t offer the iPhone 11 pro as an option?

[doublepost=1568354292][/doublepost]Sorry about the first message with no content! I was just on the Verizon app and the new iPhone 11 phones are all listed now with a count down to preorder time.

So it seems the Promos are Luke Warm for the iPhones.

I plan on preordering thru the Verizon App tomorrow morning (!!!) my question is, is there an option to pick up your preorder from a b&m Verizon store? If so, which is a better option, store or mail? I'm asking because this year I will only have a couple hours window, after work on the 20th, before I have to go out of town for that weekend and I want to have my new phone when I hit the road. There has been an issue in the past with having someone home to sign for the mail option when both me and my wife both work during the day.

I asked a chat rep this and was told NO and I've never seen that option going through their website but if you use the app it may let you. My Fed X shipments have always arrived after 6pm that day, which is annoying, especially when you've sold your old phone and shipped it out already.
We have a business plan so it may be different but this year I'm really disappointed because I always received an email the day before stating the upgrade prices and the trade in price but our rep is on vacation and the person taking over for them hasn't emailed me back. I got upgrade prices through chat though but I don't know why they're so vague about putting out the info.

Hyped for the preorder!

Gonna be doing the Pro Max in gold 256GB

This is gonna be my first “plus / max” sized iPhone so I’m nervous / excited about that lol

That may be the understatement of the year! $200 for an iPhone XS or XS Max? No thanks.

I've decided I'm going to go with in-store pickup this year for the first time. Tired of waiting all day for delivery. I have a question though: I plan on pre-ordering through Verizon, will in-store pickup even be an option? And will it be a Verizon store or an Apple Store?

Ideally I want to be able to pick up from my local Apple Store.

I think I’m going space gray 256 pro max - kind of wanted midnight green but not sure how it looks in person scares me - plus I’ve always gone space gray/black

Probably ordering on Verizon like usual - would like to put on Apple upgrade but want to be able to expense through my company since it’s on my phone bill

Does Verizon make you sign for the package??

I never had to through Fed X, not sure about UPS

 

[AndyDandy1]

Who do they use? And if you pre order does it usually come on the 20th?

For VZ they use FED X, never had UPS through VZ. Yes, it comes on the 20th, problem is you have no control over what time it comes. I might have it shipped to my husbands business, that way it should get there earlier...my Fed X deliveries to my house usually come in the morning but of course on delivery day they come after 6pm...so I'd rather pick it up in the store but don't think that's an option.

Just checked my order from last year - they used Fedex

VZW has always used FedEx in my experience and I've always gotten my phone on launch day.

Also FedEx has to deliver to the address on Verizon bill first and if on one is at home they will take it back to the depot and you will have to pick it up.

Never had that happen, I always request it to be sent to my home, not the business address. It defaults to the billing address though but I just change it.

 

[AndyDandy1]

And you dot have to sign?

 

[ksujoel]

With FedEx, signature is usually required. However, if I'm not going to be present for delivery, I've always left a signed note on the door and they have always left it. That might not be applicable to all areas, though.

 

[sdyoyo]

I always had to sign whenever I got a phone from Verizon through Fedex.

 

[AndyDandy1]

If I pre order on Verizon at like 845-9 will I still get it launch day?

 

[CrimsonKnightDX]

Not sure, really just depends on the demand. I would say maybe 3 year ago, doubtful but who knows this year.

Nope.

[doublepost=1568375552][/doublepost]Can I do it on my phone through Verizon app or better on a desktop?

 

[MrBlackHP]

Any1 else notice that that countdown clock is actually counting to 7:59 not 8?

I have always used the desktop website.
