Anyone know where the warehouses are that Apple ships from?
or do they come directly from China?
I got my iPhone 4 a day early but not my 4S
If this is anything like prior releases - there pretty much a 0% chance you or anyone will receive theirs early. Apple will ship them prior to the date and you will receive a notification from FedEx that a hold has been requested. Many times the product will be sitting in your hometown, but there is nothing you can do. Then on Friday, the hold will lifted and FedEx will deliver your phone.
Apple and FedEx have this down to a science.
Cheers.
Same here, so while it's probably not likely, certain is possible. The iPhone 4 release certainly wasn't Apple/Fed Ex's first go at it.
But didn't Apple drop FedEx for the 4S deliveries based on that? Almost all release-day 4Ss were shipped UPS. I don't think FedEx would risk screwing up again.
Both of my iPhone 4S pre-order launch units were shipped via UPS. One from Apple and one from AT&T.My wife's 4s was delivered via Fed Ex.
The early deliveries are a thing of the past. They ship everything overnight once they get to the trucks.
Not sure what you are saying.
Don't things go to the plane, and then to the trucks?
Also, I think many are shipped and arrive at either hubs or local fedex sites earlier and are held. The put on trucks.
