Where did you see indirect signature with FedEx? I just looked at the email and Delivery Manager.
Got a tip for us?

Perhaps you can print a signature release form from fedex.com, I've done this in the past. Just print it, sign it and leave it in an envelop marked FEDEX at your front door (or where they usually leave packages).
we are in same place lehigh valley pa but mines preparing for shipping i did free shipping
When I actually click on tracking, it's on the bottom of the Fedex page under all the shipping details. It says it twice.
I ordered two 32 GB, but only one has shipped. There's still hope. I couldn't choose any expedited shipping so I only have normal.
Just to update I have three separate orders: Apple TV 64, remote Loop, Nimbus controller. I ordered at different times on Monday with Apple TV being ordered prior to 10am EST and only the Apple TV with expedited shipping.
I've received emails for all three which indicate from Apple that they will arrive tomorrow however the tracking number on each email state ONLY the remote loop will arrive tomorrow and the rest on Monday.
All three tracking numbers show as being in Mount Juliet Tn. I live in NorthEast TN.
I called Apple earlier and the rep stated when she checked the UPS tracking it said tomorrow. At this point figured it was a UPS glitch and gave it a few hours.
Just called UPS and they state they won't arrive until Monday because everything was shipped UPS ground versus UPS Next day.
Called Apple back and initially they said tomorrow and then seen that UPS shows Monday for the other two packages including the expedited one. Said I'd have to call back tomorrow if it doesn't arrive and they'd look into shipping and nothing they can do until tomorrow has come and past.
Anyways it's weird that one of my last orders on Monday which was the remote loop which wasn't expedited will beat my Apple TV which is expedited and all three items show as being in mount Juliet at the same time.

Thanks for the info. I might try that. Kinda odd that Apple says no but they say yes. I've never seen that before.
Toronto here also, confirmation email just before 10AM and still PFS. No deliveries showing in UPS My Choice either. Guess it will be next week.
I've got an 8:59am confirmation email. While mine has been shipped and has a tracking number, UPS hasn't picked it up yet so I doubt it's coming tomorrow. I know it needs to go to Concord first.
Annoying that they may be available in store tomorrow. I may go to the Eaton Centre and check.
UPS and Apple mix matched or incorrect times not matching up where Apple email and UPS tracking show different arrival dates.
For those with the issue I had here's how UPS explained it to me after my second UPS phone call..
They did a bulk pickup on some items and did not scan some of them individually. They will be scanned at the next destination and according to him all items will be delivered tomorrow.
So I interpret that as this: not too many remote loops were in this shipment and therefore each was scanned individually.
The Apple TV's and Nimbus controllers were in such a quanity they simply scanned the freight which associated a flexible time frame for the moment and will update each when they further break down the bulk at the next hub which I do have a hub less than an hour away.
Hope that's accurate and helps someone else.

Just saw in the app that mine has shipped. 64GB. North Carolina. Ordered on Monday at 9 AM Eastern. Got shipment notification at 10:20 on Thursday night. Will arrive on Saturday by 8.
Weird.
That's crazy. Mine has the "Indirect Signature Required" under the Special Handling Section. My "Service" is listed as "Fedex Home Delivery" which is different from yours. Maybe it will change when the package starts moving?
UPS might not have to pick it up if it is sitting in Concord
My nimbus started in concord earlier this week so I'm assuming it's the same for the apple tvs
I ordered a 32GB and the Remote Loop with the $16 shipping option added in. I ordered at 8:55am EST on Monday. Mine is still Preparing for Shipment. Ugh. Oh well.
Still PFS. Checked fedex and it now it says
Unfortunately we are unable to retrieve your tracking results at this time. Please try again later.
Who knows, looks more and more like I tossed $17 away
You could always refuse the shipment. Buy it at the store.
I am hoping there is a update issue at the PA hub. Seems like a lot of NY, PA people are getting stuck. Maybe they have all shipped and its not updating.
That said my phone number keeps pulling up an iPhone 6s shipment not the Apple TV so maybe not.
I have not seen anyone in the northeast (New York & New England) have their ATV shipped yet. I'm I wrong?
Syracuse, Expedited and a Leigh Valley Station. I think thats it.
