That's why I prefer in store pick up since I know when I'll be getting it and won't have the possibility to be lost in transitI had purchased on pre-release day and set it up for delivery today. Apple says "delivery today" but when I track it, UPS has it set for delivery on Monday the 19th. I'm too big of a kid so I just purchased a 2nd iPhone for pickup TODAY in the Apple Store. lol.
I'll just return the one that arrives on Monday but those 3 days would kill me, especially since my wife's says it will in fact deliver today.
Thank God for in-store pick-up.
