I was promised my phone for 3 PM today.
Now Fedex is telling me it's on a truck and won't be delivered for 4-5 hours! I never realized they worked that late!
I can see it now.....a lost package will be next!

was your husband still on the phone when you received your iphone? that would be funny if he was still complaining and you didn't tell him that you already received it. Happy birthday by the way! :D

FedEx residential delivers until 8pm, I'm not sure why you think this is "late." Have fun with the new phone anyway though!

My delivery date changed to "Unknown" a little bit ago, but it's still showing as on the truck. My guess is that there was a heck of a lot more than 500,000 phones ordered and FedEx is playing catch up, hence the reason why some are being shipped UPS.

Well, here's one for the record book! Fedex rang my bell at 1350 today with two boxes! I thought wow my iPhone is here!

To my sorrow, they both had a iPhone incipio hard cases in them. I had only ordered one case! No phone, it's supposed to be delivered tomorrow, according to Fedex 'site! I'm not going to take them on on the double case order until I get the phone! Don't want them to screw with that!

I don't even want to talk about this subject right now, I am so angry. Called them at 8:30, right when I received a notification e-mail that it was at the destination facility. I asked them if I could pick it up, they told me it was already on the truck on its way. Okay, great. When noon came and the FedEx truck came down my street, I called. I gave them my information and my tracking number. They informed me I called and asked for the package to be held...so I had to go pick it up (40 minute drive). So I went, and when I got there, since their systems were down, they couldn't locate my package. After waiting there for nearly an hour I was told very politely that my package was on a truck and en route to my address. I was mad at this point. So at 4:30 I decided to call them, after my estimated delivery date disappeared from their website. When I called I was told it was an "undeliverable package" and it would be at the FedEx location tomorrow for me to pick up.

I am not the happiest person right now with FedEx, I swear I will never voluntarily use them again. Wish I had the choice, I would have picked UPS as I always use them.

Mine was here by 10:00 am, but if you're in the middle or east side of the country, they're still having service delays because of all the weather. It all has a residual effect.

This is infuriating. I just got off the phone with UPS....the lady told me that all packages that werent delivered by 4pm were now being put in "observation" by the shipper (i.e. VERIZON) and that they will not be delivered today.


She didn't say what it meant to be under observation...and refered me back to Verizon. This is complete Bulls*it!!!!!

The FedEx driver that dropped off my phone in Virginia also said their computers were down. He had me print my name on a sheet of paper where dozens of other customers before me had done the same.

Bad timing for their computers to go down. :(
