Am I really going to have to sign for this phone? This is my first time in a while getting my iPhone delivered from FedEx. With UPS they normally just leave it even when it says a signature is required. The site also won’t let me sign digitally. It keeps erroring out.
Probably unless you have premium my choice and can leave with someone. I dont think they allow e-sign. Fedex has done it in the past but not UPS.

I too have had trouble getting credits when I shipped the trade in back. It was because I used what I had thought was the trade in kit, but it was the return label that came with the new phone! There was only one label…

My trade in went to the wrong warehouse and they never bothered to find it or send it to the correct location. Went through a lot of trouble trying to get the credits.

It is always wise to trade it in the store. Hassle free return and instant credit if it is apple or you will have confirmation if it is carrier.
 
My phone is in San Diego as of 8:22pm!! It's here. Please iPhone gods let it be an early UPS delivery!
 
Anybody else’s order get a random delay? It’s been saying it’ll come the 19th since it shipped with FedEx days ago. It's currently like 30 minutes from my house. Then a few hours ago it says the tracking was “updated”, not delayed or anything. Literally ZERO details on the page, and says it’s now scheduled for MONDAY the 22nd? What the ****? Fedex isn’t open when I try to call.

Yeah it’s different but damn, really, 7week wait because i waited 2 days… Granted this is my 1st ever pre-order but, that seems WILD to me.
That is just an estimate that is ALWAYS very conservative.

Apple is having phones made every hour and shipped every day. Yours will more than likely be assembled and shipped much sooner than 7 weeks. This has been true in the past.

That depends on what type of residence you live in.

If you live in a condo or apartment building with a package receiving service, they can sign for UPS.

With FedEx, if it says "Direct Signature Required", you will have to be the one that signs it.
 
Starting to get slightly worried. Phone has been at the sorting facility since 6 PM last night and hasn't moved at all. Sorting facility is a couple hours away from me and I was hoping my estimate of 9 am - 1 pm would be right.
