Mine is also still in transit from Alaska. My guess is that they all go to the Memphis sorting center and then sent out from there.
I wonder how much staggering they plan to do... is it just Apple orders or are some AT&T orders going to deliver early too--they're just not smart/courteous enough to send out an email stating as much?
Being that I'm phoneless after selling my 3G and shipping it off today, it'd be rad to get it early!

Facepalm deserved. It's almost 2AM and I probably shouldn't operating a computer or any heavy machinery. I'll make sure I click the right button next time.
if that is the case, it will be bad news for everyone in this thread hah. i'm just happy to get the phone on the 24th and not have to wait all the way until July.
You would think its a blanket OK to deliver all iPhones early. It wouldn't make sense for FedEx to have to sort which ones to hold and which ones to deliver.
At least it doesn't make sense to me.
I'm betting this email was intended to allay the fears of folks who were given ship dates stating they'd arrive after the 24th. And since its automated, its using the 23rd, which is the date they intended all the iphones would be delivered to the hubs. Expect clarification and possibly an apology soon.
Just got the email as well. My order has always said the 24th, so I remain a bit skeptical. Would be a nice surprise to get it one day early, but it's only one more day.
They held my iPad for THREE DAYS in Alaska before shipping to Indianapolis the night before delivery, then it went to Dallas the same night and arrived in Fort Worth at 9am the next morning. My guess is they are doing the same thing with the iPhone...they will hold it in Anchorage facility for 3 days before it it shipped off to distribution then goes to the local FedEx regional and then to your city or town.
But to FedEx, they aren't looking for certain iPhones...to them they're just more packages, they just happen to be from the same place. I can't imagine it's any stretch on FedEx's resources to hold the majority while also passing some others along.
Just got my email as well. My FEDEX tracking always said the 24th, but email seems legit. I guess we will see. That would be nice to be walking around with an iphone 4 the day before launch.
