UPS Driver Didn't leave phone!!!!!!!!!!

at least yours didnt' say DELIVERED! and when you go outside, It's not there. i'm still on hold with UPS for 30mins.
My FedEx person didn't follow my note to leave the package with my apartment complex's leasing office and marked the delivery attempt as failed. I called up FedEx around noon and the driver is going back to deliver it at the leasing office if he can. Otherwise I can pick it up after 4:45 from the FedEx center near me, which is fine too since I'm stuck in work til then.
I can 100% confirm this. I knew nobody would be home so I printed, signed, and left a personal note on the front asking them to please leave the package in the office.
They left their little retard slip, along with a note on my note saying "was instructed not to".
So, now I'm trying to get them to hold it at the UPS facility so I can pick it up tonight, but who knows. What a bunch of ********.
It's true. I can confirm that neither my UPS or Fedex delivery guys accept the release that Apple points to on their website. I've probably tried it 2-3 times with no luck. I've stopped even trying to use that form, and just accept I will have to make a trip to the local UPS/Fedex Hub (depending on who Apple used).
Ethically challenged? What kind of crap is that to say? I'm tired of these racist comments on this forum.

This was too good to pass up. It's now my signature on all forums I visit.
i talked to my ups driver for awhile today when he dropped off my 2 phones. theres 4 places you could have ordered your phones from: att, verizon, sprint, and apple.
sprint was treating their phones as regular packages. no need to sign. they will leave it, if you live in a house. apt -no such luck.
verizon and att you had to be there in person to sign for them. no pre-sign
apple- apple had their very own form the drivers had to carry around that needed to be signed and returned to apple.
other ups districts could have been different from mine but my driver has no reason to lie, i work there in the winters.
delivery guy is not a job i want to do. ever

Well, my UPS delivery guy was a douche bag and didn't let me just pre-sign and leave the package in the apartment office. I had drive 30 minutes to the UPS facility and wait about 30 minutes there while they searched for my iPhone.
Thankfully I got there when I did, I was about 7th or 8th in line when I got there. By the time I left, at about 8:00pm, there had to have been at least 40 people in line whose iPhones ended up not being left at their houses, too. That whole thing was a joke. Why did Apple have a pre-sign form if I had to physically be there to sign?
At the end of the day, I got my phone and didn't have to wait till Monday...and my white 32 gig is sexy as hell, so I can't be bothered to worry about the retardation that took place earlier, but I hope they figure this **** out at some point.

I talked to a ups driver I know just a few hours ago. Depending on where oh ordered, a signature may or may not have been required. Apple required a signature or a release form. Verizon was instructed to not accept a release form. AT&T was the same as apple, sprint didn't even need a signature or release form. Check your order status and find the "signed by" space. My driver actually signed for the package for me and left it in the door.
I talked to UPS today and they said the package will only be left if I left the apple release form on the door. She was quite specific that it had to be the form printed from the apple site.
And thats exactly what happened.

I had a pretty bad experience. I was expecting to have to go to the depot beacause I could not stay home and didn't want my phone left outside.
But the UPS driver never left a slip. I highly suspect that some drivers marked an "attempt" when they had not even tried. I called UPS to see if I could still pick it up. They told me AT&T had put a restriction on it so I could not make them hold for delivery. Could not even get through to AT&T- the phone system would disconnect me after two mins. I tried going to my local AT&T store- they said they had to call the same number. So I said to heck with it and tried going to the depot. There were 100 plus people in line and 3 employees total trying to handle the situation. They then announced that anybody who had not specifically designated the phone for pickup could not get their phone. Not sure how that was supposed to happen.
Now, I can't get them to hold te phone and I can't be home for delivery Monday. Honestly don't know what to do. Waiting in line this morning would have been much less of a hassle.

I got a notice about a delivery attempt. I called the number on the back of the infonotice and told them (automated system) I wanted to pickup from UPS service center. Automated system said they would call me within the hour for a pickup window. I got the call and they told me between 8pm and 9pm. Around 7:15 I got a knock at my door and it was UPS delivering my package! He said they sent him a note and he was still in the area so he figured he would save me a trip. So glad to since the UPS center is about 20 miles from my house.
