So what does Apple suggest we do if someone was in the same situation? I did not purchase AppleCare+ during pre-order. I will do the same as you did: go to the Apple Store. But what if my iPhone has a defect?
#Team520 with my phone arriving in KY this morning and Import Scan afternoon but delivery for tomorrow.
Remember guys.. UPS regular scheduled route even though it arrives in your state early morning. For me, happens to be around 6:30-7:00pm which works out since nobody is home to sign for it earlier.

This is a great reminder that Apple has certain % of stock just in case a phone comes in faulty, not available for purchase, so if you don't get it, go to another Apple store.
Buy AppleCare+ for the defective phone THEN swap it out. AppleCare+ will then be attached to your original purchase/phone.
Did you talk to them yet? My bf answered the call and they said they will redeliver the phone by end of day today. Let's see if they keep that promise.
I didn't talk to them yet. My apartment building has FOB key access, so I wonder if that's why he didn't even attempt. The driver made a stop at the leasing office, and I know FedEx and UPS can get a temporary FOB key to stop at a unit if a signature is required.. either the driver was unaware or lazy. Chances are if they tried again tonight/tomorrow same thing would happen.
The receiver name is my father's name, so I'm worried that they won't let me pick it up tonight if I just have them hold it. :/ But I'm also worried that another delivery attempt would just fail.
Yeah. Our apartment has a gate so hopefully our driver gets through to deliver the package. Or maybe we can hang out at the leasing office and catch them
My dads phone arrived. Mine will come tomorrow. UPS driver didn't knock, ask for a signature or take the paper I had presigned. He literally tossed the package onto the front porch from about 5-6 feet away. Nice.

Yeah, if they are willing to re-schedule the delivery for tonight I will most certainly be camping out front.
Here's to hoping we both can finally get our phone!Did your delivery date update back to 9/25 on your tracking when they said they would re-attempt?
1:56 er, 9/25. Package was out for delivery and then switched to In-transit, then date switched to 9/26? WTF?
1:46 departure from Louisville! Which flight is it on? Either headed to Dallas or Shreveport
And it won't count against your 2 replacements for damages? I assume defects are NOT considered accidental damage.

Yeah, I wasn't asked for a signature either . Weird
Yeah, it was too good to be true! It's okay, tomorrow is still better than next week!
I agree!
Correct, defects are replaced under the original warranty. 2 damage replacements are for broken screens, water damage, etc.
Nope, after my import scan of 11:45am my delivery date changed to tomorrow 9/26. I'm in NC.

No departure scan here yet.
Fyi I called AppleCare after I received my iPhone 6 Plus and they added AppleCare Plus to my purchase without me having to go to the store to have it inspected. The rep said he had to run a diagnostic on it first, but I hadn't taken it out of the sealed box yet. He said ok, and went ahead and attached AppleCare to my phone. Glad I don't have to hand over my new, pristine iPhone to a store rep to take it in the back of the store to inspect it. I like the "new" to wear off before I do that.
Normally, that's true. But stock is so low right now I struck out at the six ARS's closest to me. Each of them said it will be weeks before they have enough to set aside stock for replacements.
Well its been a pleasure posting with you but my time has come and so has my phone until next time folks.
