Mine is always FedEx too. But for me they won’t even knock or ring the bell lol. I had to call the company and give them the info and ask them to try again.
Got a tip for us?

Thinking of doing a fresh install for the first time in I'd say 8-10 years of just restoring from backups. I've got a lot of apps I don't use anymore and the important ones that I do, I can either sign-in again as most of the data are in the cloud anyway. So...gonna start fresh and download apps as needed.
Card charges for in store pickup on both orders.
My guess based on past experiences is that if something is not getting delivered on launch day, Apple provides a date range for those orders. The 9/25 date was out of the ordinary since it was not a date range, so I believe it was likely a system issue.
Noting official from UPS until probably late Tuesday or Wednesday when they leave the UPS hub. Try tracking reference on ups
Another person mentioned this happening a little bit ago, too.

This is exactly what I’m doing. First time in many many years
Oh that brought back memories! I stood in line for a white 3G. (I stood in more lines than that. But I think that was the longest.) It was not my first iPhone. I had taken the day off, just in case. After several hours, an Apple employee came out and asked who was waiting for what color. I was the first who wanted white, and I got the very last one. It was so pretty! I remember going to a meeting the next day and placing it on the table... that was a real thing, you know, showing off your phone. One exec gently ran a finger over the curved back and said, "It's soooo sexy!" And it was!
I remember those lines and the store employees lined up and clapped. Everyone was hyped and excited
Me, too. And that was also part of my reasoning. I've complained so loudly and so long that the pro phones never have fun colors, that I kinda felt obligated to get the one they finally had. Hopefully I'll like it. But, if not, there are cases and skins and such.
I am, and not until Saturday. I'm going to be living vicariously through everybody else on Friday. And I admit missing the tracking madness.
ISPU-ers unite! Let's get ready... to wait!
Not when your enrolled in MYCHOICE, we see it as soon as the label is created
I think this is correct. I've always ordered through Apple and always delivered by UPS.
Apple uses both. I have been pre ordering phones and other devices through Apple since the iPhone 3S has come out, and it’s been a mix. They even have used DHL once or twice. UPS does deliver the majority of the time, but it’s not exclusively UPS. In fact, my Apple Watch that I pre ordered is coming via FedEx express delivery.
Thanks to Apple's Pre Pre-Order feature they built-in to the Apple Store app, as long as I had all the details of my desired iPhone 17 Pro Max selected inside that feature, by 23:00 CST, the following morning that Pre-Ordering was to open at 07:00 CST, it was a bit delayed, I think 07:06 CST all I had to do was leave the Apple Store open, the screen auto-updated...as soon as it popped-up, it brought me to my saved order, all I had to do was select mail to my home, pay via my Apple Pay, and it was done - less than 30 seconds from when it opened! My order will arrive this Friday!
Your Pre Pre-Ordered time cut-off varied by timezone/region, but it was all very well documented.
It's never been easier or smoother! 😎
