I don't know how they treat their employees but UPS has done well by me for years and have always proven far more reliable!
UPS regularly damages items sent to me.
They even lost my iPhone 5. Order via Apple Store app, well after launch but before 5s. Was on truck "Out for delivery" for 3 weeks and I could not get an answer from UPS about where the box was. Gave up and did not get another phone until 5s (ordered via Apple Store app on launch, sent via Fed Ex with no issues)
Guess it depends on where you are?
UPS treats their employees very well. Fed/Ex classifies everyone as a 'contractor' so they can get away with paying slave wages. This is how fed/ex runs away with so much money.
I'm sorry to hear that. I am sure it depends on where you are. My neighborhood has the same UPS driver and he has been on this route for at least 5 years now. The guy is awesome! Always has a wave and a smile and shows true concern for where he leaves packages etc.
I used to work for FedEx ground. Sorted packages for a couple years. I have a lot of respect for the package handlers, trailer drivers, and delivery people who work hard for a company that doesn't really treat their employees very well.
After knowing how I was instructed to handle packages, and seeing a lot of **** first hand, I prefer to ship via UPS or USPS over FedEx. I'll agree that the service between companies can vary a lot depending on your area and the individual delivering on your route.

Newbie here, but had to sign up to reply... I've been with you guys for all 197 pages! I myself ordered the Apple IPHONE6SP 128GB SGY via AT&T on 09/12/2015- 00:17PDT. I also received the initial shipping date of 10/16/2015 - 10/23/2015. I've been waiting 16 days like many of you and last friday, I finally received a item shipped e-mail with a fed-ex tracking number with an estimated Shipping date of Mon 9/28/2015 by 8:00 pm PDT. I received notice at 08:10 this morning that it's On FedEx vehicle for delivery. Fingers crossed....
I hope everyone gets their phones this week. It's been a roller coaster journey! I like many of you will be ordering directly from Apple.com next time. My co-worker ordered his IPHONE6SP 128GB SGY via Apple and received it last Friday.

I'm waiting to see that too... but I haven't seen any post on being shipped today and usually by this time a big batch has gone through... Spoke to a rep and she didn't give me much hope
Selling an iPhone at list price?
You are a good man or woman, Charlie Brown
I've heard others, who have received their iPhones, state that no signature is required.
Reason 25 while I'm still here waiting for my delivery today. Don't want to have any delivery issues.
The "sender" designates whether or not a signature will be required. I guess Apple cares (that you get your phone) and AT&T doesn't.
I agree. Fed Ex is my delivery service of choice. I've had many problems with UPS deliveries and zero (so far)
Yep, in my area UPS sucks and Fe Ex is outstanding.
AT&T does a terrible job at updating their shipping notifications... Last year I had the phone before they gave me a tracking number. Only reason I knew it was on the way was because of UPS My Choice which notified me that a package was being shipped to my address.
Yup - if you're a UPS MyChoice member I'm showing an estimate of Tuesday but I don't trust that until I see something beyond "label created" and it is in UPS's hands.
It arrived! I will never pre-order from AT&T again! The waiting while I know others have their phone (who placed orders well after I did, days after!) has been tough.
Same here - still sitting on "label created" on Saturday. Getting nervous that it's not actually moving.
