Fedex Options

Fedex Status says "Indirect Signature Requires". Does this mean that the package can or can't be picked up at the local Fedex Office or a local Fedex Store? Shipping address is my home and nobody will be there during the day
but the local office & a retail location is close to my office. Thanks.
 
This is how people know you have no life you get up in the middle of the night to order a ****ing phone then you spend hours refreshing pages and cursing and then you tell the world about it.

Next stage delivery tracking. Jesus Christ...

Do you wanna calm down and stop telling people what they can and can't do?

I presume judging by your attitude you didn't manage to get one.
 
I want to say I got my Iphone 4 a day early. Whichever it was I posted here. Was pretty cool. It can happen.

You can have it redirected to a Kinkos (FedEx Office) or FedEx center any time once the tracking number is issued. Just called FedEx w/ the tracking # and request the redirect to the FedEx (Office) location of your choice. Only the named recipient will be allowed to p/u and you will need ID, of course.

Indirect Sig. means you can leave a note at your front door. If you bought from Apple there should be a signature waiver in your order tracking info online as well.

Or if they don't do all that they go online to mock people that do do that. ;)
 
If I ordered a Verizon iphone on apple's website, will it ship early if it says that it will deliver on the 19th?

Do you really think they are worse then the people who start sitting outside the apple store in NYC before the apple announcements?
 
Mine still says 'processing,' but I'm not concerned as I had to call Apple on Friday morning to verify credit card information.

It would be nice if mine was delivered early since I will be working all day on Friday. The wife will be home to sign for it.
 
Those of you who pre-ordered from T-mobile, has your order status changed from "processing" to confirmed etc? I pre-ordered mine yesterday afternoon and received an email to confirm this morning. The order status is still - processing.
 
:confused: in my country quite everybody is awake at 12:00, even at 01:00 AM

Where is that?

Also got notification from Verizon for delivery on the 18th by 3.

Noticed the shipping was "Standard Overnight"

Shows the phone was already picked up and in process.

If it's picked up, and "overnight" you'd think they are holding off delivery, Overnight would indicate Monday/Tuesday delivery.

If they are holding off delivery, why would they estimate Thursday and not Friday? Oh well. It will get here when it gets here I guess. I better print out one of those pre sign slips though, I have appointments on the 18th and would hate to miss it!:eek:

Side Note: I hope the 4.7" looks/feels relatively larger than the 5S. I was in Verizon yesterday and after having a Galaxy S4 for 1.5 years, I looked at the 5S and cringed at how small it looked and felt. I've heard a couple of media reports say "It's not all that much larger than the 5S" I hope it's large enough to see a clear difference, my eyes just can't go back to a small screen. Everything looked so crammed together! I know, it might work fine for some, but for me, as much as I hated to, I walked away from the iPhone when my 4 died vowing to come back when the screens got bigger. I think the 5.5 is too big for me, so I'm praying the 4.7 will be big enough.

Same situation, except I left my iPhone 5 after a few months and to Galaxy S4.

I had to do the same thing. As long as it says deliver 9/19 I'm good
 
And here I am waiting until November when I pre-ordered my iPhone 6 Plus yesterday at my local AT&T store.

Wonderful.

It sucks it seems that the rumor that it will be coming a month later is kinda true because it quickly became back ordered for a month. I ordered my ipHone 6 from att at 3:05 am and some how was back ordered until october. I looked on apples site today and saw the make I wanted was still shipping the 19th so I called canceled my att order and went through apple. This was a screwy launch thats for sure.
 
I ordered at 3:15 am from AT&T iPhone 6 plus 128 gig. Says ship date of 11/9-11/27 !!!! That's crap!!!

mine has "Order Placed." top has they received my electronic signature 9/12.

If nobody is home to sign for delivery, the driver has been instructed to give the phone to the closet Android user. This is Apple's new plan to gain new users. :apple:

I am sure if you leave your name and full address, someone here should be able to be waiting outside to pickup for you. :eek:

Thanks. I sent in my electronic signature this morning (they sent the email to the wrong address so I had to call them to get another one sent out to my current address).
 
Mine is still showing as order processing from Apple.com but with a 9/19 delivery. Since I haven't gotten a tracking number yet, I am really hoping that nothing with the order got messed up since this the most important thing in all of life

Same here on the first part of your post. The second part not so much lol

Sounds like that was a harder phone to nab (either popular or limited quantities made).
I ordered a 6 128GB (not plus) from Verizon's website about 45 minutes into it and I got the email today that it's at FedEx, and scheduled for Friday delivery. Funny thing is the Fedex distro is maybe 20 miles from my house. I could literally walk there.
I don't recall anything like that happening before. Maybe some of this is Tim Cook being in charge? We've always heard he initially came to Apple to clean up supply / inventory / shipping / efficiency. It'll be interesting when apple eventually says "we saw xxxxxxxxx opening weekend activations" and see if it's a lot more than last year. Considering supply is usually what constrains those opening weekend numbers, it's not how many would people buy, but how many did Apple make and have ready to deliver. Apple always counts phones delivered, not back ordered.
 
My verizon pre order shipped this morning and says delivery on the 18th by 3 pm. Heres to hoping :)

What time did you order at? I got an email confirmation at 2:52 am EST (11:52 pm PST),wondering if that was early enough to be one of those people that slip through a day early :D
 
Verizon status:
  • Ordered (1) 6+ 64GB Space Gray at 2:01am - shows shipped as of 5:30pm today for 9/19 delivery by 3pm
  • Ordered (1) 6+ 64GB Silver at 2:03am - shows processing...
