I finally got my tracking number. Delivery on Monday... I'll take it!
P.S. - I updated the Google Doc to reflect change in status. Hopefully it can help future folks with shipping timelines.
Got a tip for us?

Wow there's so many new people on the thread. @Promet2009 did anything change for you yet?
Nada yet...just checked and still showing the same thing. Maybe I will see some movement later today or tomorrow.
Welp from my understanding, a few days ago verizon charged a bunch of accounts and then ran out of phones so depending on what you ordered, you may have to wait awhile for the next "batch" of phones in your color and size to be delivered to their distribution center. It doesn't seen like too many people got phones this week from any carrier.
----------
I wouldn't believe that. You can call three different reps and get 3 different answers. Most likely, you were apart of the group that was charged and then verizon ran out of phones. :/
Anyone have any movement on the 6 16 gb? My sister and her husband are waiting on theirs, they ordered on the 12th around 7pm, and were given dates of 10/7 which moved up to 10/3. But so far no movement or tracking on their accounts. They got 1 silver and 1 gold.
That is what I did.
Had filled in the forms earlier online, but took the old phones to the store for trade-in after the new ones arrived. The girl handling the trade-ins said it didn't matter.
It was an easy process for me.
So the store accepted the trade in after 9/30? My sister and her husband did the online form as well but are waiting on their phones which will hopefully be within the next few days. Or since it's past 9/30 do they have to do the mail in?
Anyone figured out the system?
I have ordered a space Grey 64gb iPhone 6 and have a ship date of 10/17 and on iconic it says "We received your order and it is in process."
I have seen others here who had ship dates of 10/24 already getting there phones of the same color and type.
Are the orders filled in the order they are received?

Nope...nobody really knows how these things go. There has been a big slow down this week in deliveries I have noticed. So has others on there and said the same thing. The 64GB+ really picked up last week and the weekend, but most 16+ and 128+ have been really sluggish. I still expect most on here to get there phones a 1-2 weeks earlier, but I am not sure about the 3 weeks early anymore.
Just got a call from the person at Verizon who took my order! I originally ordered a 16 gig Gold Plus on 9/12. Not going to ship til 10/17. He called and said they had some 16 gig Silver pluses or a 128 gig Space Gray. I wanted to change my order to a 64 after I ordered the first one but I'll take the 128 and not have to worry about going over my memory! God I can't wait til I get off work now!
PS. this is my first Iphone EVER! always been a driod man!

Are you going to get a case for it? If so the question comes down to whether you can live with a white face.
@richgirl What the person actually told me was this "You're phone has definitely shipped. However, the phones are coming from China and we have not received them yet. Once they're in our warehouse, we will ship it to you ASAP."
For those who wondered why aren't your tracking #s not showing up after your CCs have been charged for days, it is because, according to Verizon, a charge from Apple.
This stinks.

^ Yup. And it saddens me for those who ordered after the 12th because its been 2 weeks since the iphone 6/6+ went on sale, and 3 since preorders started and they're not even finished fulfilling orders from DAY 1.
In addition, I have too noticed that fulfillment slowed down this week, however, I did hear from someone else that they spoke with a manager at Verizon who said the next big waves won't be until Oct 2 and Oct 14th. I didn't really believe it at first, but if what someone said above is true, once all the of planes come in, Verizon may need extra days to process everything and most likely process them in large batches before they alert us. Apple is the only carrier sending out shipments straight from Foxxcon to customers.
So...in essence, I guess we'll find out today. :/
----------
So then here is my ?. Is Verizon receiving shipment from China via UPS or Fed Ex? Because there is one plane that travels every day from China to Memphis via Fed Ex.
They will, take phones until Dec 1. And the rep said I could bring it to the store. It is a corporate store so maybe that only applies there and not to authorized sellers. I am going there today to return my 4s. I think the September 30 deadline was for filling out the form.

Fedex. What I don't understand is that if the phones are being carried by planes, how many days does it really take to get to the US from China? Oh wait, I forgot that the customs exists.
My in store rep, a friend of mine, stated it pretty simply. If your receipt showed you ordered on the 30th or before, they will honor the trade-in.
Could this explain why there has been downtime and not many delivered this week? And why many people who got charged on the 29th all of a sudden didn't get their phones because Verizon ran out? Here are the Fed Ex flights from Anchorage to Memphis. There wasn't a flight that came in from September 26th to Oct 1st.

It appears that we should not look at flightaware.com/live/iphone
EDIT/ actually this would make perfect sense. THey got a bunch of shipments from Sept 24th-26th which is why people were getting their phones left and right last week. AND it correlates with the earlier story in which the manager claimed the next wave wouldn't happen until the 2nd.
Is there a way to confirm which flights packages are on via tracking #? Just so we can see the routes. I mean, I'm sure this is a good guesstimate but I can't actually narrow down the actual route but im for certain im close.

Good to know about the trade in after the 30th!! I will let them know, hopefully they get their phones soon! THANK YOU!
Bumped!
iPhone 6+ 128GB Gold
Ordered: 9/22
Original Est.: 10/24
New Est.: 10/17
If I cancel my order I can reserve one at full price, but I wonder if they would let me change it to EDGE (already existing) once I picked it up. Thoughts?
