I believe that is how it was ordered. Mine is PS I'm guessing that mean the register at the store where I ordered from.
Nobody has been able to figure that one out. The main one to look at is iconic status. C means order received and being processed. S means processing and S with a tracking number means shipped.
Dang...now I'm curious to figure that one out. And thanks for the info!
I'll report back if I figure more out..
Also, looks like Verizon is updating their site right now..
I'm not sure how thoroughly they check the phones but I'm assuming that they just check how it looks. One question though, why didn't you get that fixed by Apple? Was it out of warranty?
I saw that small glitch yesterday where my order was moved up to 10/17, but alas it has done nothing since. I've been 15-30 minutes late to each Apple store I visit for the last 128GB 6+ (I don't care about color at this point).
It actually may not be a glitch. I think when they move up that means that they're processing your order or they're getting new iPhones shipped in. I know when I first made my order the ship date was 10/21 then it got bumped up to 10/17 and was shipped 9/27-28 and delivered on 9/30.
Another note, I have noticed that Apple has been getting stock of 6+ in their Apple stores and in the morning typically have some showing as available, all my visits have been afternoon visits. Looks like Monday I'l be taking a 10am lunch. 
Yeah, may be true. It seems that tends to be more true with the regular 6's than the plusses. We'll see which happens first, me finding a 128GB 6+ in store or Verizon shipping me my 9/22 order.
Do y'all think I should chat with a CSR about my order or might they screw it up? I don't want to disturb anything because some of them don't know what they're doing..
Man I just want my shipping details already :/
EDIT: Went on Verizon website to see if SG iPhone 6 64GB went up past 10/31, you know feel better about my order heh and I selected 128GB by mistake and it apparently will ship right away :\ SOOOO tempting to go for the 128GB but as it is I have other bills to pay and after I ordered my iPhone 6 another random thing popped up that Ill have to pay for so I guess I'll just be patient :|
I called *611 and went through the magical button pressing of steps to get a live person and checked the status of my order since I was never told I would receive zero information on my order or even a confirmation status that the order was placed. All the customer service reps seamed to have been bracing for the iPhone 6 questions inevitably so before I even got a live person Verizon's automated system basically said we don't have any more information than what you've heard. When I got to a live person I patiently and politely asked if I could have the order of a "new phone" confirmed...I didn't say iPhone 6 because I knew the lady would probably blow a gasket since I was likely the 9459349th person to ask in one day!

I think its wrong that people who pre-ordered didn't get their phone before everyone else...heck I think pre-order should mean you get the thing guaranteed at your door either the day before or the day of, tag a $25 premium fee if you want but don't step on people who pre-ordered when some regular ol' smuck who saw an ad on TV orders one off Apple's website....their should not have been any stock issues for those who pre-ordered and if there was pre-orderers should have taken the utmost priority. No entitlement here as I didn't pre-order but I tend to value common sense approaches and showing customers you value them, if I get my iPhone 6 before you guys who pre-ordered sure I'll be grateful but I'm still going to stand by this post....I'm not sure why Apple did it this way...I haven't pre-ordered anything in a long time but I remember I pre-ordered a video game way back when cartridges were the norm and I remember I paid like $10 extra but when the lines were out the door to buy the game and only half the line was likely to get it I got to walk past the line and pick up my reserved copy that wasn't in the "everyone else" pool.

Ha! I got that same message when I called about my preorder before I got it this week. I'm assuming they either don't want to tell us anything because they're not allowed to or they just genuinely don't know. Anyway. Hope you get your phone soon. I know you have been waiting a long time... 2 weeks right?
They take the phones apart, take pictures of the inside and outside, attach them to the account, and send you a fee of 200 or 300 for having basically any knicks, dents, scratches or water damage (which apparently has been triggered by moisture for a lot of trade ins of people who are getting charged for this). From what I was told from a corporate store employee, there is a special facility dedicated to inspecting these edge replacement phones and theyre extremely strict on any type of damage.

So basically we're all going to get charged regardless? A scratch or a knick/dent is basic wear and tear. Why would we get charged for moisture if it wasn't like that when we sent them off. Darn I should've taken pictures of my phone before I sent it in!
As long as the screen isn't cracked or the phone can make calls/texts/pictures/ browse the web it should be fine IMO. The phones are probably going to be sold as refurbs anyway.

I don't have experience with Edge, but I did trade in 3 iPhone 4's at a Verizon store on 10/1 after I received my preorder phones. They were off contract and I signed a new 2 year agreement.
The girl that took my trade ins didn't check for functionality other than that she turned them on in order to get the ID numbers out of them.
Mine were pretty flawless, except for one that was bent a little, but she didn't seem to notice and I got $200 for each.
I had read about bad experiences with the mail in trade ins, so I opted for doing it in store. It worked out well for me.
Good luck.
I wonder if it's that strict since the device I'm sending in isn't currently on edge. Hopefully not!
I was told it is that strict for edge no matter how you're using it (new edge or replacement edge or early edge). I have a few scuffs on the corners of my iPhone 5, and a little crack in the screen in one corner that doesn't spider off. I showed it to a rep at the corporate store, and she said that even if it didn't have the small crack, she wouldn't recommend trading it in on edge because it would most likely get charged back to me.
Basic wear and tear should be ok. They said as an insurance to anyone wanting to do edge, to go to a corporate store and have them inspect your phone and log in your account that it's in good trade in condition. That way, if the sorting facility deems it necessary to charge the customer for anything, verizon has to foot the bill for signing off on the phone in person ahead of time.
That's right.. Hoping for notification early this week. I'll definitely post an update the minute there's movement. Thanks for asking
Can you tell me what you did? I keep getting page unavailable. I tried the cletis link and still get page unavailable. Thanks.
