iPhone 6 Plus Verizon shipping/delivery

Has anybody that ordered their iPhone 6 Plus through Verizon actually gotten their phone yet? or even got a shipping confirmation email and tracking number? i pre ordered my 6 Plus 64gb Space grey on 9/17 and have a ship date of 10/31, my status on verizon still says order is in process.

Unfortunately I agree with you! Apparently the problem is primarily with the iPhone6+ and those with the 64G and 128G memory. Apple marketeers underestimated the popularity of the 6+ and thought that the size would encourage the IPhone 6 to be the phone of choice. Obviously they stock their own shelves first but it appears that orders placed directly with Apple and those with carriers have about the same delivery dates. If you are fortunate enough to have an Apple store nearby and they have your phone in stock you can cancel your order and buy it at the store but of course most shipments seem to be scheduled 10/29 or before with some falling into 11/4 or before.


I am no worse off than before....they haven't debited my credit card for payment and won't do so until they ship my unit but I have to continue to use my phone that I have successfully been using for the past two years. I feel for those who did not have cell phone service and signed up for service and bought the iPhone6. I guess the carrier will not charge them for service until they activate the phone once it is received.

Not sure why this is going on? Nothing has changed and I have not received any emails from Verizon so maybe there just ******* with my order date so instead of it being 9/19 now its says 10/25 glad I took a picture of it a few days ago so they can't sat I'm lying. Hopefully this will be a wake up call for Apple. After all this is their fault at the end of the day. This is their device and their supply chain so they need to pull their heads out of their assess and get with the program. Apple is well beyond popular now and since they opened up China, hello they better make a ton of phones; 40 million sold in two weeks worldwide! Yeah we need more phones. Especially the plus, that's what 76% of folks are picking up. Tim Cook even said " We screwed up thinking a phablet would not be as popular as it is" so just keep checking. Soon enough will have our phones!

I've had almost the exact same experience as TheCobraCommander- pretty much no information through the online tracker, no order showing up in my online account, got the email about how to prepare for my new phone with a preorder number that's off by one digit from the one on my receipt from the store. I called Verizon the other day and the CSR assured me that my order was still scheduled for my original deliver date of 11/14... I want to believe her, but I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

I ordered a Gray 128gb 6+ on 10/24 and received an estimated ship date of 11/14 through Verizon. Shortly thereafter I received an email which was "while you wait for your new iPhone" auto mailer. It also included an order number and the link to check on the order....The link read "est ship date 11/14". On 11/17 I received an email with a new estimated ship date of 12/05. The link, however, continues to read "est ship date of 11/14". Obviously it cannot ship on 11/14 and I do hope it ships before 12/05. I check into istocknow.com every once in a while to see the local stock of the iphone.I realize I could cancel the order and pick it up locally here in San Jose. But I guess it will be a christmas "gift".

yeah man its not the carriers its apple. i dont think apple has shipped any 6 Pluses to any carriers yet. i heard they were going to start shipping them to carriers mid october. the only people who have received their 6 Plus were the ones who ordered directly from apple. which is complete BS. i understand that apple wants more people to order directly from them but they should fulfill the orders in a first come first serve basis no matter where the customers ordered from. thats unfair to the people who want and chose to order from their carrier instead of apple. and what makes me mad is that people who pre ordered their phones from the carriers still dont have their phone and some like me, dont even have tracking info, but yet people who ordered their phone well after release date from apple already have their phone or tracking info. thats completely unfair and BS

I'm with you on this subject. I keep checking the Verizon site and of course like many others there is no updated shipping information. I am comptemplating cancelling my pre-orders for this phone since we cannot get updated information and just going to the Verizon store and picking up a new phone. There is another phone that just came out and is available today so it would be easy and fast to upgrade. It sure beats setting around waiting on information that doesn't seem to be coming.

I wonder if it has anything to do with how you pay for the phone. I did my upgrade via the EDGE program, and I ordered my phone (see previous post - 64GB space gray 6+) on September 18. There's no card to charge when it ships; it just gets added to my monthly bill. The estimated ship date is 10/24. When I log into the Verizon website, all I see is the order date/number and "You have no orders that shipped in the past 21 days." Here's hoping that changes tomorrow, which is supposed to be my shipping date.
