All of my Apple products have always shipped via FedEx. I think my iPad Air 2 will ship the same way this year.
 
My iPhone 4 and 5 shipped Fedex, My iPad 3 and iPhone 6 shipped UPS... No idea what my iPad Air 2 will be. I live in NOVA btw
 
I'm not a big fan of FedEx, is why I ask.

UPS My Choice allows me to reroute packages, etc. It has been my experience that most of the time FedEx doesn't allow changes to delivery even though the Delivery Manager system has them as options. Normally it comes up that the shipper (in this case, Apple), won't allow it. Not sure why UPS can and FedEx can't.
 
I always seem to get my iPhones, iPads etc. sent via UPS. But accessories seem to come via FedEx. Not sure the reasoning though.
