I just posted this in another thread..............

This may have been mentioned in one of the threads on this site. They are long and I don't have time to search. I apologize if this is a repeat.

I originally ordered a 7Plus 256 in jet black. The delivery was just marked as "November". After thinking a lot I canceled that order and ordered the same but matte black last week on the 22nd. The delivery was marked as 2 - 3 weeks.

Since then I have been checking the stock at the two local Apple stores. They would have some but not the 256 black that I want. The stock fluctuates during the day. This morning something told me to check and dang they had it in stock. I logged into Apple's site to hold it for me but it was rejected as I already had a pending order for my phone number. I decided to gamble. I canceled my online order. I immediately went back to the Apple store site but now I had attempted too many logins so I was blocked for an hour. I told my boss I needed to take an early lunch. Luckily one of the two stores is 12 minutes from my office. I hauled tail there and made it. I got my 256 black 7Plus!

So DON'T give up checking the Apple Store's stock if you have one relatively close. Today was the first day that either local store had it in stock.

Good luck to all.

Thanks for the tip!  I thought of doing going to the Apple store, but I spoke with two different Verizon reps and they told me that you have to get the iPhone 7 through Verizon, or else you can't get the full value of the free iphone 7 trade in.  Can anyone share their experiences?  Were they able to get their iPhone 7 for free by trading in their old iPhone?  thanks!

Check your local best buy, I did and one around me had the rose gold in stock. But I'm going to wait for Verizon to ship mine so I send in my current phone.

I am sooo very happy for those who are experiencing earlier than expected shipping dates...  It gives me HOPE, although I have seen zero (0) activity on my order for the JB iPhone 7 plus 256 GB. My cc has not been charged and my date is still showing 10/26 (pre-ordered 9/9/16 10:00 am EST).  Maybe I should switch over the 10/26 shipping date thread so I can commiserate with them?

If I am able to find the phone I want from an apple store instead of waiting my verizon preorder,  and i set it up for the verizon device payment plan, will it still be eligible for Verizons upgrade every year?? I'm really thinking of driving 3 hours to an apple store tomorrow but if I can't be eligible for that then I'm not going to bother

That's awesome! I'm glad to hear it because I have an estimated ship date of 10/26 for my Matte black 7+

What are they charging cc for prior to shipment? I payed the upgrade fee in store. Is that what they are charging your bank cards for?

That's awesome they usually charge you CC the day before.. so hopefully you'll get your phone sent out tomorrow afternoon... gives me hope since I got an estimated ship date of 10/26 The only difference is that I order mines on 9/23 but still am hoping for an early delivery.

they charge the upgrade fee and the taxes if you preorder online. So you're most likely getting your phone this week.
