For iPad2 and iPhone 4S did most people receive their deliveries early in the day or was it all throughout? I'm sure they're not guaranteed until 7pm (or maybe not guaranteed at all) but I feel like I remember that most people were receiving them before noon.

I'm strictly speaking about the US deliveries here.
 
I live in Venice, CA. My 64gb black Verizon is still in Ontario, CA. I have it set for pick up at my local FedEx Office at 9am tomorrow. Hope it moves to my local distro center soon. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

there is no way to predict this...depends on the routes and other things, I have preordered every thing for the past 5 years when it was offered and they have arrived at all times of the day - but they always arrived....print out the pre-sign and put it on your door to be safe so they will drop....

Gotta imagine that some thieves are expecting a lot of FedEX boxes left on front porches tomorrow as individuals are at work. I'll wait to receive it in person.
 
Hm you are right. Apparently it's at the "sort facility" at the airport right now, and a FedEx guy I talked to basically said unless it gets to the Ship Center on Development Dr. before they close at 7, I'll be waiting till it delivers because they can't release the package from the sorting warehouse.

Yeah it can't be released from the airport lol. It's literally out there near the runway behind fences waiting to be loaded onto thetruck that goes to your station, which is known as SMFA btw..

I really doubt the meth community will go prowling around following fed ex truck to take ipads off porches...more paranoia here.....you can specify where they put it...relax...

the pre sign is if you're in the can and they knock - they won't wait....so instead of seeing the truck pull away with your pad, it will be at your door so you can quickly grab it before the robbers get there....LOL

For FedEx it's a Standard Overnight service. Which usually means before 3 o'clock unless you live way out in the sticks. Not sure about UPS.
 
Depends on where you live, I live in San Diego (2 hours from Ontario) and my iPad didn't move until 11:30 this morning. They could just send it out later tonight.

or just could have not updated your tracking ;)

mine went 4 days with no tracking info on file , then went to "recieved" shipping info at 6 am, to leaving sort facility at 11:49 am in TN, and some how magically arriving in austin texas as the same time of 11:49 am. no transit in my history what so ever.

lolol ... i bet it would be hard to find them. way more people getting fedex for various reasons tomorrow than the handful of people who got preorders in each city.
