I know the feeling. I put my trade in order on Oct 4 and I still dont have any of the shipping materials. I went to Verizon today and they said they are still honoring iphone's at 200 dollars until 31th. I might just trade in my phone at local store instead of mailing it in.

I did mine at the end of September and just received my shipping materials on Friday. I wouldn't worry if I were you, they'll come.
 
I'm starting to wonder if it's even worth doing. I fear that they'll just decide that they don't want to give me my money and throw my phone away

Well they offered me $300 for my iPhone 5s 16GB Silver, and its better than what I was offered by Gazelle. Thats why I decided to trade it in with Verizon. I traded in my parents old iPhone 4s' with Verizon and didn't have an issue but, I don't remember having to wait so long for mailing materials. As long as I get them by the time my phone ships, I'm good.

I was offered $300; 200$ for phone +100$ promo. You think if I take the paper/confirmation that you get when you request a quote a retail location would honor it?
 
Ordered sg 16gb plus on 10/12/14. Walked into my local Walmart today and just for fun asked if they had any 6pluses. Well what do you know they had what I was looking for. I quickly called VZW to cancel my order and the rep told me my order was already cancelled!! I didn't do it, so tomorrow they are going hear my opinion. But tonight I'm busy setting up my new phone##
 
I called on Thursday to ask about the return envelope and was told it will be in the box with my new phone. I was skeptical (I still am, actually) but I'm not sure what else I can do except wait. My phone will be here on Tuesday.

I would really prefer to just do the trade in at the store but all the reps there I've asked said it had to be mailed in. I might try it anyway. :p

I traded mine in at the store.

I reordered my sons iphone 6 plus today after the fiasco at the Apple Store on Sat

Tracked that my local store had a Silver iPhone 6 plus 128gb. Unlucky I was passed on to NEW Apple employee who processed my purchase 5 times and on the last time Verizon fraud dept blocked my transaction. So 2 hours after arriving - I walked out empty handed.

This morning I ordered the phone with an estimated ship date of 10/31

Ouch that sucks... I pull up my verizon account and this pop up

Your new device has been detected. Start My Media Retrieval.

Does this mean my phone is coming soon ?
 
I looked at the spreadsheet earlier today and thought i saw that you found one in store somewhere....

Hang in there fellow Illinoisian :)
You did. I mentioned that every Chicago Apple Store had every model 6 Plus in stock, which they did for all of Friday, and that I tried canceling my order to pick one up, but verizon said no. So I'm still stuck waiting for my online order.
 
Did you need to do anything online before you did it in store? The CSR at the store wasn't very specific when he was explaining it to me

Earlier I had the CSR fill out the online rebate form in the store, and once I had my 6+ I brought my 4s to he store. The CSR looked up my account and asked me about whether I had reset the phone (I had), wrote some numbers down and gave me a $200 credit. I could have also gotten the gift card sent to me. Then he gave me a receipt for the payment.
 
Is there another shipment of units coming from China tonight? I'm just going to assume that I didn't make the last one

i havent seen any on flightaware tonight. but there should be some tomorrow and the rest of the week for sure...what model and when did you order?
 
I hope to see several flights soon. It is definitely time to get out of this backorder. I'm expecting to see my phone ship this week (6, 64GB, SG), and I hope many others see theirs too, especially the 6+'s. You guys have been waiting forever.

Does anyone know how long we have to send back the phone we are trading in? What happens if the new Iphone does not come in time?

According to this part of the email I received when I got my appraisal, you have until no later than 12/01/2014, but they request 7 days after receiving your new phone.

I submitted for the rebate thing on 9/28 and also just got my envelop from Verizon a couple days ago. They are taking longer than the two weeks to get them out.

I am hoping one of the local stores will take my old phone and give me the credit as others have had luck with. I do not need the $200 gift card right away, but just do not trust the mail in process because of things I have read.

I do know if you are going to mail it, take pictures/video of the condition of your old phone, that you have reset it and made sure the "find my Iphone" feature is turned off.
 
"iconicStatus" == "S"

A tentative "hooray!" this morning. Just checked my iconic page and the expected ship date has gone blank, and the status is showing as 'S.'

Order Date: 22 Sep
Ship By Date: 24 Oct
iPhone 6+ Gold 128 GB

:D
