I stopped in at an AT&T store at 7:58 AM this morning. Was helped by 815 and had my phone ready to go before 8:30. They even provided free coffee & donuts/bagels! Let's see if your UPS guys brings that today!
(disclaimer - I've never queued up for a lengthy period of time for a phone. I save those times only for the life altering BBQ of Franklin BBQ in Austin.)
