UPDATE: It is here!!!
Update: Received tracking numbers for both iPhone 6+ and 4G SIM? (same tracking number, but listed as two separate shipments). According to FedEx they estimated delivery date is today (21 Sep) by 8 PM.
Incidentally, I actually received the email from Verizon with the tracking info BEFORE it showed up in ICONIC? Plus, the tracking number worked as soon as I got the email from Verizon. I have been able to follow it via FedEx all the way from Memphis TN.
Timeline:
Ordered: 22 Sep, with Ship by 24 Oct
Notice from Verizon: Email 17 Oct indicating shipment is on schedule
Iconic Status change to "S": Overnight 20 Oct, Ship by updated to 20 Oct
Receive Tracking Number: 20 Oct
iPhone 6+ Gold 128 GB
(fingers crossed I actually get it today....)

Howdy Folks,
FedEx dropped my phone off at my door today, and indicated that the signature was waived? My wife said they just dropped it off at the door, and were gone before she got there? All well....
My original order indicated 2 day shipping, but they actually shipped it overnight, so it was exactly 5 weeks and 1 day between ordering the phone (online), and having it in my hands. Technically, I received it 3 days prior to my original "Ship by" date (10/24).
Impressions:
WOW! The display is huge, and much easier on my eyes than the iPhone 5 it is replacing. I can't even look at the older device now, it looks so small.
Setup was (as usual) was painless, and my backup transferred from my old phone to the new one.
Touch ID (so far) is pretty impressive, I love that I can just rest my finger on the home button, no swiping required.
And for those that care, this is the case and holster that I ordered to house my new phone:
Clear case to protect back and sides:

Holster to carry it (with clear case)

Apple iPhone 6 Plus/ 6+ Horizontal Leather Case Pouch Holster with Belt Clip and Belt Loops (on Amazon)
The case fits well, and offers the protection I was looking for (covers back to prevent scratches, elevates to prevent camera from resting on the surface, and puts a slight lip so if I set it face-down it won't rest on the screen), and the holster is actually too big! The iPhone fits it with lots of room to spare. If you put the iPhone into an Otterbox or similar case, it would still fit just fine.
Thanks for all of the input everyone, and good luck!
