FedEx Issues Service Update Noting Delayed Shipment Tracking Information

Strangely, that's not my best case scenario.
Called Fed Ex CS twice. Both said my Chicago delivery was stuck near Indy but for possibly different reasons: "Some sorting facility problem" versus "Broken down truck or weather or something."
All Good Intentions
So yesterday morning the phone is in China.
Last night it was in Alaska.
This morning it was in Indiana.
This afternoon, at 5:38 it was in my driveway.... and not delivered.
The delivery person walked right past the front door where I was instructed to leave my signature and after knocking on the back door, gave up.
I am not angry so much (ok, a bit annoyed). What I am is simply stunned that with a supply chain extending globally, incredible logistics, millions of dollars in equipment and vehicles... the delivery fails, literally, in the last 30 feet.
Perhaps the moral is that there is no amount of money or fail-safe that can stand against a lone, dedicated screw-up mistake.
I guess I'll be content to play with my phone tomorrow and be grateful for this being my biggest problem of the day.

No Phones From Texas!!!
I was just told by a FedEx rep that my package scheduled to arrive by 3PM today is delayed due to the weather yesterday in Texas!

Odd, Fedex person rang door bell and I just saw her ponytail as she was running down the stairs. A colleague of mine said that his was left at his porch as well, so apparently in my state no signature is required. Sorry you have to wait another day. It is swwweeeeeeeeet!
I've had mine for 9 hours and it doesn't disappoint!

F*ck FedEx. I've been waiting all day at my office until 4PM (it says "On FedEx for delivery"). Until I called and being told that they tried to deliver it, apparently to a wrong address, at 10.40AM this morning.
F*cking amateur. Wrong address your a*s. My office gets FedEx delivery every day!

Just got mine too, even though FedEx was still saying it would be tomorrow. I'll admit I was skeptical, but the next time I get an email from Apple saying it WILL be delivered on the 23rd, I'll believe it...
That's okay, apparently no one notified UPS that AT&T stores (at least the one I preordered from) should receive their shipments on the 23rd instead of the 24th. After checking my tracking info, it showed that my phone shipped on the 21st via Next Day Air, yet it for some odd reason had a delayed delivery date of the 24th. Oh well, guess I'll go get it tomorrow afternoon.
I just d1cked by Fedex today. My iPhone 4 was coming in to San Francisco from Fortsworth, Texas, but the Fedex rep told me it was stuck in a bulk plane and they had aeronautical issues...or some BS like that.......anyone else??? I'm SO SO SO right now!!! UGH

Yep, me tooz
iPhone 4
My iPhone tracking shows it's in Rockford, IL right now on it's way to the AT&T store (45 minutes away)... Does anyone know if I show up when the doors open at 8am, will I be able to get an iphone since I pre-ordered first thing on the 15th, or do I have to wait until "my" iphone actually arrives at the store which might be later in the afternoon?? They didn't tell me ANYTHING when I ordered the phone, so I'm guessing I can just show up anytime on launch day and get a phone?
