I have pre-signed every year, never had a problem but I'm usually home very soon after its delivered.

I have never pre signed. And every single time, they dropped the phone at my door, behind some chair or something.

I don't know what use signing is. Maybe if you live in an apartment, it's more critical. But a single family home, where there's lots of hiding places maybe the rules are different.
 
In the same boat - no serial number under support and no tracking on UPS/Fedex - so probably Tuesday at the earliest I would think

Keeping my fingers crossed, I'll be staring at a case till it gets here. According to case order that's supposed to be here Saturday. But case without phone is just a tease....lol
 
My phone left Jamaica,NY at 8:58 pm, hopefully it will be here nice and early tomorrow. Now i am excited like everybody else here lol.
 
Says mine departed at 2:59 to Va Beach; hopefully all of us from Virginia get an "ARRIVAL" soon!

va beach here too! i keep hoping to see an arrival scan. i have a 10:30 delivery, but ups usually doesn't come till 5:00 on a normal day so i have no idea what to expect.
 
To clear this up for everyone. ANYONE that has a delivers by 10:30 AM will receive by 10:30 AM be it residential or business. I have confirmed this with about 5 different reps. If your phone shipped via Worldwide Express your phone will be delivered by 10:30 AM.
 
Interesting

While the UPS website is giving me "By End of Day" delivery (to the nearest UPS store) tomorrow 9/21, the UPS app is providing me an approximate time of 9:15am-1:15pm (CST).
 
UPS will still do an overnight sort and head planes out early early AM for local arrival in time to go out for delivery. If someone sent something overnight late today (4:30) from SF to NYC, it wouldn't get to Louisville until late tonight, but will still get sorted, and fly out in time for tomorrow. In fact, most overnight packages haven't made it to Louisville yet- they are all in the air.

So, if you don't see your package at the local hub yet, don't worry, the night is young.

I'm a little worried too. After nearly 2 days of inactivity between departing Anchorage and arriving in Louisville, my phone departed Billings, MT at 7:36pm today. Seems like a lot has to happen between now and when it should be "Out for delivery" tomorrow morning.

What I don't understand is how it went from Alaska to Kentucky to Montana just to end up in Colorado. It just went back and forth across half the US. Obviously, I'm not a shipping expert. I assume there's some sort of method to the madness. Just seems like a lot of wasted jet fuel.

If I don't get mine tomorrow, I will be demanding a partial refund from Apple.
 
I'm still iffy about the "by 10:30 am" "Scheduled delivery" notice.
My tracking info says that but with the amount of orders going I'm not so sure they can stick to that.If it's true then better so I can get on with my day and go see the Space Shuttle fly over L.A.
 
According to www.packagetrackr.com it's on a truck from Columbus, I assume it is headed to Pittsburgh because my school is in Western Maryland. Gonna be a long night!
