With ATT required to have FedEx hold all the packages for Friday deliver, it makes me wonder, how on earth is FedEx going to deliver all of those packages? Those poor delivery guys have a long day tomorrow.

I think a while back I read they have temp hires for days like this. It's not just the same normal guy with 1 truck.

I bet tomorrow is one of those days where they don't mind earning the extra OT. I bet a lot of FedEx and UPS delivery drivers would want to work tomorrow!

not sure you are aware of it, but the way iphones are ship. (they will come in speical car/truck) not your regular trucks. since all next day airs get delivery by somebody else.


that person doesnt have here and there and there stops(like minor) they only deliver the air packages(so it takes off your normal packages )

they will manage it , nothing really a biggie for them. My friend would be delivery it, i wanna see if he wants to meet me somewhere and i get them early in morning
 
IMPORTANT QUESTION: No one has asked this question: Most of us saw our pending credit card charges disappear a few days ago. Has anyone had the charge reappear today? If so, did that person then get shipping notices?

2 phones shipped - hold charges fell off days ago and no new charges yet.

There's an option to have the package routed to your nearest Fed Ex facility. In my case it's just a store front copy & ship near my house. I've done that before. They verify your identity with your ID and you get your package. I believe you have to wait until the tracking info appears on the Fed Ex Delivery manager site, though.

It is not available for my package. Nor are there any obvious ways to pre-sign like there are for UPS/Apple

WOOT JUST GOT MY CONFIRMATION PHONE SHIPPED. iPhone 7 JB 128!!!

Here's a question. Now with Apple and ATT offering 1 year upgrades, what are they doing with all the 1 year old phones that will only be 1/2 paid for?
 
I just placed my order through AT&T online for an Iphone 7 Plus 256 Jet Black.

Estimated ship dates: November 25, 2016 - December 2, 2016

The person I chatted with online stated they have received more Jet Black iPhones so my ship date should change to a sooner date.
As someone shared the news, Apple is allegedly upping their manufacturing targets:

Mine:
2 IP7+ MB 256GB, ordered 9/9 8:30am/12:30pm ET, 9/23-9/30

Sell them in the used phone market and make $$. iPhones hold their value surprisingly well.
