some of you guys need to get a grip - if you have a track number that says it's getting there on friday, it will get there. This is not Fed ex's or apples first time doing this....
and you got the procedure wrong - the hold for pickup is after they try to deliver - you then have the choice of picking up the next day or have them try to deliver again.
The last thing they want is a bunch of fanboys outside before they try to deliver.....your fed ex depot/dist center is not an apple store with lines outside..
I made a request to hold my ipad at local fedex 2 days ago and today I got a call from them saying that they have to try to deliver it onceconfused
and that I can pick it up after 6pm, I assume this is when delivery guy returns from his route.
Since they have to make at least one attempt, it like extra insurance in case your dozing off or using the bathroom when the delivery guy knocks on your door and you don't hear him. I doubt he will make any attempt to knock again or wait because they are going to be overloaded with deliveries.
But then you can go pick it up anyway. The only time I've ever missed a FedEx delivery I was still able to pick it up later that evening. They'll usually leave a sticker that tells you what time you can try to pick it up. That's standard on all deliveries.
