Tons of people got the same email last year with the 3GS only to have it held at the fedex location until the release date. I know this because I have a friend who works for fedex and he told me they got tons of angry calls and people stopping in looking for their package. But they have specific instructions from Apple to not deliver before the store release date..... He said this is common and they do it all the time for big companies. I do however remember him telling me that a few slipped through the cracks and were sent out for delivery.

Uhhh... wasn't the 3GS delivered by UPS last year? I specifically remember tracking UPS flights and packages in customs being routed to KY.

You must be thinking about the iPad?

Or.... ?
 
Does anyone know if this pertains to AT&T orders? My iPhone was shipped via FEDEX and I bought it through AT&T.com
 
It'll be interesting to see who gets this email, how long they keep coming out and if it comes true. At this point it seems to be random on all counts.
 
Hell yea! This is a big slap in the face for those people who replied to my thread earlier when I said my delivery date moved up a day early. They said I absolutely wouldn't get it till the 24th.

Still waiting for my email though. But my delivery date says 23rd.

Of course they did....Always someone wants to rain on our parade. :cool:
 
Yep, me too.

I'm still refreshing my e-mail constantly but I am not expecting much.
I think I can wait until the 24th.

Thats what i thought. But i know as soon as i come on here and see "Got my iPhone 4" threads imma flip! Lol

I just got an email. I'm not trying to rub it in or anything because I know how you feel.
Just hang in there!!

I've never had or seen any Apple product shipped by anyone but FedEx.
 
Here's mine. My Fed Ex tracking info has always said the 23rd.

My experience with fedex is that they always went to memphis before rerouting to sub hubs. I'm excited that it has come close to my hometown Cupertino, CA

Arrived at FedEx location
OAKLAND, CAJun 21, 2010 5:07

That's exactly what my tracking says and I live in the bay area.
 
Just got it too....

mail



I'm tending to believe it because it says explicitly that my tracking info may indicate a later date, but that I can track it to my doorstep on June 23. If it's true, I'm pumped.:D
 
My fed ex tracking still says June 24tu delievery though. Not 23rd like some people so I don't get thr email.
