You don’t have to know someone at local shipper. If you follow this forum for years it has happened in past. Quite rare, but not impossible. We are talking millions of deliveries. We are dealing with artificial holes on shipments. Not the typical thing shipping companies strive for. Yes way way less than 1%.If you know someone at the local shipper, sure. But out of the millions that get into hands on launch day. The percentage of someone getting early has got to be less than 1%
There will also be some phones that disappear. Also rare but it has and will happen. $1,000 devices grow legs.
