Oh dear lord....yeah - this math is very funky. If you just shipped at 151k, and VZW is saying I am due to ship by 10/10 with order number 4.04 mill, that means they are somehow going to crank out 3.9 million phones in the next 2 weeks - 
That's too crazy - so - yeah, seems there is more to the order number than meets the eye

Also have to take into account model, storage size, color. The order numbers are just that, order numbers. The order numbers just go in order of order placed. Not anything to do with what type of phone. So I'm sure a lot of people higher than me got theirs before me since I ordered the 6+ 64GB in SG and that seemed to be the most popular choice.
Oh Em Gee. We got the same phone + That's my location too! And Im ace order # 2478,xxx but no movement in mine. I'm just ecstatic b/c this may mean my mine may move sometime next week. I'm right behind you!
Good point - and, if you think about it, they also represent orders beyond just iPhone 6s...or iPhone in general....Verizon also probably sold some 5s's, Samsung's, etc.....
Oh well - wait and wait. Then I'll wait and then wait
I'm in the same boat as you, friend. Already tried calling FedEx but "Verizon has placed a hold on this item until Monday and also so that it has to be attempted delivery before pickup."

Yeah exactly. Plus it seems they're shipping out ahead of schedule. I had 10/7 then 10/3 and mine shipped yesterday. It's killing me, sitting at fedex 20 minutes away and won't deliver until Monday and I can't pick it up.
Tell them you are leaving the country this weekend, and you absolutely need the package today. Be polite but be firm about it. They will help you out. I did this before to pickup my MacBook Pro on a Saturday when it was sitting at a local facility.
So I have been lurking here for quite a while now enjoying everyones excitement especially since my order appeared to have movement finally. So I decided to call verizon to see whats up with the order basically trying to get a tracking number since my card has been charged as other people have done.
So I get on the phone with internet sales, gave them the order number and location number and he said that all orders that are completed between sept 19th and sept 30th are expected to ship by oct 31 according to the document he was looking at.
He also said shipping goes by when the order date is completed in the system not the pre-order date. I mentioned that the email originally said 10/7. He said that the shipping date I got was based on the order completing the next day???????? He also mentioned that apple ships the phone and generates the tracking number not verizon.
I don't think this guy knows what he is talking about but wanted to share my experience.
Background on my order:
Ordered 9/12 3:40am EST - ip6+ 64GB gold
location code: 0862001
Got a ship date of 10/7 (moved to 10/3)
credit card charged last night (9/25)

the order numbers must not be tied to shipping order. i ordered 1 IP6 64g s at 7:30CST am on 9/12 order #104xxx and 1 IP6+ SG at 7:10CST am order 103xxx. i received the 6 on 9/19 the 6+ is scheduled for shipping on 10/17
Hahaha one step ahead of you. Said I was leaving on Sunday for business and would be gone a month. Idiot probably didn't even understand me because I could barely understand her "English."
Hey! Mine shipped yesterday, what was your estimated delivery date from them?
That's the worst! It's like a birthday present on the top shelf!!!!
Hang in there - and congrats - at least Monday you'll be living large
I personally think the order #'s also include android phones as well. Theoretically speaking, there is no way Verizon sold 4mil iphones in a day if the total amount of phones sold the first 24 were 4 mil across all carriers.
From my understanding, the way it works is by device color / device availability first and then by where you are in line. So for example you could be 6 + SG 64 at 4,240,000 and the next 6+ SG 64 after you could be 4,240,100 and a mix of other versions of iphones & androids in between. And I'm only certain of this b/c another girl on here ordered the same phone I did an iphone 6+ gold 64 GB at 6am 9/12, i ordered at 9pm the same day and we're only 4,000 phones / orders apart and I don't think those are ALL iphones.
Thank you! Yeah I really shouldn't be too mad. I'm getting it a week early so I'm pumped. I guess I should really get my work done now because if it did come today I totally would've been distracted lol
Makes perfect sense.
I also wonder if the order number includes some extra characters depending on, for example, whether you are a Verizon Business account versus a Verizon Personal...they all go through the same Iconic tracking system, but maybe they assign extra characters to differentiate account types as well - who the heck knows.
I love these moments in life when we have to become hack experts on things as inane as Verizon's order fulfillment tracking parameters!!
I only have six numbers in my order number. Cancelled the first order I made on the 12th (was concerned the 16gb) wouldn't be enough after I downloaded iOS 8) and ordered a 64gb on the 18th. My second order number was only 437 higher. Location number also has something to do with it.
Movement on Silver 128GB 6 Plus!
"Your order has been sent for processing." -- YES!!
Ordered a Silver 6+ 128GB on 9/12. I had the ECDP error, and then got incorrect advice (from a VZW online chat) to order as a new customer. (That order was put on hold, and later canceled.) I finally placed an order over the phone at 4:48 AM EDT -- confirmation email arrived 5:33 AM. On the phone, and in email, my delivery date was 10/14 -- then unavailable, then back to 10/14, then 10/10, where it sits now. I have location code X08890, order number 390xxx. So far, no movement -- just crickets.

movement?
What makes me wonder is that even though we've seen 2 or 3 waves of ship dates moving in the last week, there were no changes that anyone mentioned who had the date 11/7. Does it mean that there are 2-3 week blocks that Apple can sometimes deliver in the beginning versus the end of, but the total shipped within the date frame would stay the same?
64GB + Space Gray
Order date 09/20
Order 499***
ESD 11/07

Just to put my information out there. Work ordered 6+ 64G SG the morning of 6/12, I assume they didn't come in early just to be nice for me. 10/14 estimated delivery date, as of this am no movement.
