It probably depends where you live. I live in an affluent area and I talked to my fed ex driver during the 5 or 5S launch (can't remember) and he said they had a ridiculous amount of iPhone deliveries that day.
Got a tip for us?

Anyone know if there will be a separate preorder line if you have it deliver to store? Or will you have to wait with everyone else?
Ship it to your work. Should be doing this with all packages really. You pay less from most retailers when you ship to a business vs a home and businesses get their deliveries earlier in the day than home deliveries.
This isn't "reserving." This is personal pickup. Once you complete the purchase online the phone is yours. When you pick it up it'll have a white sticker placed on the plastic wrap with your name, phone number, and order number. Bring CC, ID, and order number to the store whenever is convenient for you.
Guys not that hard to do!! Just decide one or the other...A whole thread devoted to this wow....
Apple will have two different lines for those who pre ordered and waiting. They will ship to your home somedays the day before on Thursday if your lucky and for sure on release day friday. Don't stress

I've never been allowed to have an iPhone shipped to any address other than my phone's billing address. I've bought every iPhone so far, and both through Apple and AT&T.
Not sure if this has been suggested, but I think you can ask fedex to hold the package at their facility for pick up. Might be easier and better than waiting in a crazy line at the apple store or waiting for the delivery to show up at your home/office.
Well then you will pass through Baton Rouge, where there is an apple store off the bluebonnet exit 2nd BR exit as you come into town from New Orleans.
its like a couple hundred yards from the exit in the Mall of Louisiana.
Picking up a newly released iPhone on release day is your worst nightmare. Don't do it. Not even a few days after.
This is my issue too, definitely going in store pickup because I leave that afternoon for over a week
Each year I've received mine FedEx at 9:15am +/- a few minutes, on release day.
Then driving to the office I just happen to pass the Apple store and laugh at the huge line of people. It's the very best service.
The only exception is the year I ordered from Apple, I'll never make that mistake again, I didn't get the phone for two weeks.
AT&T has been a great company to do business with for twelve years.

Am I Guaranteed a Phone?
If I preorder through Apple at 12:01AM Pacific Time, will I be guaranteed a phone in the store to pick up or to be delivered? I don't want to order a phone and then find out I have to wait until the 26th to get it. Does the preorder site tell me when my phone will be there?

I've shipped them everywhere. Both from Apple and from AT&T. Just had it shipped to my work address on one of my iPhone 6 Plus orders too.
