I just checked and I have a tracking number. Delivery is for 9/19 by 3:00pm! For reference, I ordered a silver 6+ 64g so verizon is shipping the 6+ for 9/19 delivery. :)
 
Why would they flag an iPhone order for fraud? Odd!

I suppose fraudsters try to hide in the chaos of the new phone launch, so they can buy 50 iPhones with stolen credit/debit cards and sell them on ebay. Of course, that doesn't explain why my bank thinks a fraudster would have the stolen goods delivered to my home address.

At any rate, according to the Verizon rep, Chase bank has been flagging almost every single order made through them.

LOL I have Chase. They flag anything.

I did EDGE. Paid the tax and a $250 down, so not the standard prices. Here's hoping to net getting flagged lol
 
IM not freaking out or causing trouble.

I just want to see ONE iPhone 6 plus 128gb be charged or ship.. Just one, that's it.

You CANNOT say I'm being paranoid or being insane for being a little bit suspicious that EVERY SINGLE MODEL has been charged in full, even if only a few, but ZERO 128gb plus models have been charged from people who ordered from verizon, at least that I can find.

That doesn't smack of some sort of delay to you? Even if its a delay because they are coming in this week? Other carries and Apple have charged people for their 128+ phones, my best friend got his charged today and he ordered from apple a 128+ at 5am!!

But yet Verizon, one of the best carriers, hasn't charged any? It's a legit concern, and I'm not weird and I'm not being chicken little for raising the issue here. I'm just someone who has noticed a glaring discrepancy and am concerned about it.

I love VZW but they would never tell us if there was a problem until it was too late to do anything about it.

Just find me one, and I'll sit back and enjoy the ride.
 
From everyone's experience what are the chances of getting the phone on 9/19 if your order number is 290k for a 128gb plus model space gray? My original email says deliver by 10/14/2014 however on the status page Delivery time not available at this time. Is this a good or bad sign?

Completely agree. When 64GB was the top model, stores (other than Apple) didn't regularly carry those. I was told at some places that's a special order. Could it be that this is now the case for the 128GB?

Time will tell. I'm still holding on to hope for Friday. This wait and uncertainty is making me second guess getting the Plus though. I worry it's too big, but like the features the 6 doesn't have. LOL

I just got off the phone with Chase. They are not flagging or holding iPhone orders. If they truly suspect fraud they contact the cardholder directly. So, it appears Verizon hasn't put through the charge yet. The Chase rep also said that they have thirty seconds to approve or decline a charge when it is presented.
 
Well my 9/12 ship date from my email confirmation, that was 10/14 on the order status lookup, has now changed to "Not available at this time". At least something changed. lol

Order #358xxx
Location: P386501
Ordered: 2x 6+ Silver 128GB
Order Time: 3:30 EST
Email Confirmation Ship date: 9/12
Order Status: Not available at this time


As has mine. :)

Well, they flagged my order. Maybe they think I'm not buying electronic gadgets often enough and the charge looked weird to them.
 
Anyone know if you are new to Edge do they send you a SIM in the mail? Because we were talking to a rep who gave us our tracking number which the rep thought was one of our phones and he said that it was going through USPS....which doesn't make a whole lot of sense. But when we look it up it says it is scheduled for delivery on Tuesday which if it were the phone....holy crap that is early! But we really don't think it would be delivered by USPS? Our next guess is that it is a SIM for our new service with Edge?
 
Now let's see some 128GB ship! ;)

Would be nice, have not seen any yet have 3 people who have them on order, but none have a ship date yet, just talked w/ customer service and they are no help as always. "Your order will not ship until the 19th" Thanks for nothing.... :eek:

They will hold the order until Friday. Happened to me last year. Never know though, maybe it will be "one of the ones that slip thru" the cracks! ;)

im in this same dilemma too... haven't gotten any fedex confirmations... all i have is my email confirmation from the 12th saying a 19th delivery :confused:
 
Per they guy I talked to, Chase should have then contacted you, not just flagged it.

They did contact me--AFTER I had already sat on hold with Verizon for 30 minutes trying to figure out why my order status was still pending. Hung up with Verizon after switching the order to my credit card, and a second later my landline rang with a call from Chase's fraud division asking if the charge was legit.

Eta: while I was on hold, verizon sent me an email that there was a problem with my payment.

Maybe if people are worried about this, they could buy a Verizon Gift Card, and use that.

I am still given the option to change my payment method...

I think I'd be more relaxed if I wasn't getting conflicting information from My Verizon, the automated phone system, and customer service. I'm moving soon (knock on wood; escrow still needs to close), so I'd really like my order settled before then.

could you instruct me on how you are getting to a screen to change your payment method on your preorder? the site was glitchy when i was trying to order my girlfriends gold 64g 6+ and instead of putting it on edge it asked for my CC info and went with full retail price no contract, which if the only way i can get it for her on launch day is to pay full retail then I suppose I won't have an option as this is supposed to be a birthday gift for her, sadly all the VZW reps i get are 110% useless on this matter and just brush me off saying they don't know how.

thanks in advance if you can help :)

Did you get payment straightened out? At least they (tried to) charge your card. I'm still waiting for them to charge me. Looking at the confirmation I printed right after I ordered, looks like it's only the $250 down and not the tax. My confirmation email did have a number assigned to the phone though...

Who knows, time will tell.

I used the link others provided:

https://preorder.verizonwireless.com/iconic/iconic/screens/IconicSearchInit.do

Gives me the option to cancel or modify payment.

My original date was 10/21 and it also switched to not available. I also ordered the 128gb plus space gray.

My original date from Verizon is 9/19 (screen shot when I purchased) and also in the confirmation email a couple of hours later. Now it shows "not available at this time."
 
Is it true? </3 :mad:
