And I didn't even know it. I am stuck at work and I just got an email confirmation saying it was delivered to my home at 10AM this morning...I left for work at 12:15. I am heading home now to check it out.
 
Awesome! Post some pics!
Seems like deliveries are a total clusterf**k this year. Mine won't even leave the warehouse about an hour from my house until the 24th, so no chance of getting it early unfortunately. I ordered from Apple, what about you?

Lucky! The wait this year has been brutal. Mostly because of the extra week we've had to wait, but personally because I am really looking forward to ditching the Plus and going down to the 6S size. I bought a case for it and everything and that size just feels so much better in hand.

I'm the opposite. I'm excited to ditch my tiny 6 for the bigger 6s+. I've always been envious of them, and am very excited to have a bigger screen, better camera, and better battery. I don't use cases, so maybe that's why I have no problem with the + size.
 
I wish we knew if it were coming UPS vs FedEx bc for me, they deliver at very different times... One is pretty reliable for before 11 and the other is anywhere from 10-3pm

I highly recommned getting a MyUPS account if it is coming through UPS and having them hold the package at the warehouse and picking it up. You can get the phone as early as 8:00AM! This is what I do every year and it works like a charm. Been doing it for every apple release since the iPhone 5.
 
No, t'wasn't a case...but it wasn't the iPhone 6S either...I forgot that I had an iPhone 5C replacement coming in the mail this week as well. Talk about blue balls :(
At least you owned up to it. If you knowingly said "My iPhone got delivered today", and unboxed a 5C, there would have been chaos in the thread. :p

Oh I am more than fine owning up to it. I was 100% certain it was the iPhone 6S because I completely spaced out about the 5C replacement. Such is life.

All good, my good man. Better to have been a mistake, than to troll hard. lol

In the exact same boat. 128GB Space Gray... got a case ready as well.
 
So you consider it a "cluster f**k" because you're getting it on the promised and scheduled date? OK. Too bad you feel that way.
No, it's because Apple doesn't want the phone out until the 25th, but people have gotten theirs way before then thanks to carriers. Not complaining, just stating its a cluster**** nonetheless.

Good idea... So I did this and one of the phones showed up but another didn't. I had to enter in my phone number as a ref number. Now UPS does deliver earlier which is nice compared to FedEx but I think the warehouse where the destination scan takes place (where it leaves from when it comes to me) is actually far away... I'll have to look more into it though.

Your "logic" makes my head hurt.

It's a cluster**** bc Apple set a delivery date and yours isn't opened the 2-3 phones accidentally delivered early (a HUGE mishap by couriers that will result in major fines from Apple)?

Hah, ok then.
