Ok, thanks. I guess I'll be driving to the hub tomorrow after work... I'm sure there will be a long line. It's too bad they won't let you leave a signed note on the door since the shipment only requires an "Indirect Signature". Actually, I think I'm still going to try that just in case I get a cool FedEx guy who decides it's good enough.

you can leave a signed note on the door! just sign and ask to leave it at your neighbors and have them sign for it, apartment office sign for it, on the ground (though i dont recommend. ) etc. Fedex and verizon both told me it is cool. or even
 
this is going to be me tomorrow

There is more than one Apple Store in NY, and the closes one to me did not have any line as of 20 minutes ago. They also did not have much of a line and had units available during iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s launches, so I am hopeful. In any case, if Apple goes to the reservation system they had with 4s last year, getting one shouldn't really be a huge deal.

That's cool then! Go for it!
 
The issue is that they write about a FedEx Door Tag, and that you can only obtain once they have attempted delivery - they leave it on the door know if you weren't home. But in any case, we'll see if this works, the last year's thread has mixed results reports.

well i think a door tag is just anything tagged on your door... the fedex people say its not a specific form. obviously they have a specific door tag they leave when you miss the delivery, but any thing tagged to your door should be fine as long as it has the name in print, and signed. + tracking and instructions.

I would print one out and sign it to be safe.
 
Looks like I'll be getting mine on Tuesday of next week. No pre-authorization charge on the debit card, and still showing that it's in process. Ordered at 11am on day 1. That'll be the last time I do a pre-order in store. :mad:

Mine has apparently left Memphis...hopefully headed towards me in Nashville.

**Fingers crossed**:rolleyes:
 
Is anyone else's traveling a ridiculous distance. Mines being delivered to MA from TN? All the people i've seen for MA have either been coming from PA or NJ
 
I think you should be hopeful. You placed your order about 30 minutes after me, and your experience thus far sounds exactly like mine (and everyone else's) this morning... "sent to processing" followed by fields left blank, followed by CC charge. A few hours after all that, I received a tracking number and ship date. Don't lose faith yet!!

I'm keeping the faith. Just frustrating to see a charge last night and no apparent movement today.

So is it really true that them showing a full price charge on my card means they've created shipping and the phone will go out?

Im in the same situation as you, all I have is my confirmation e-mail from 11am... nothing else, no charge, no tracking, nothing... im still looking for that 10% chance they bump me to 9/21 from 9/26

uh - oh...movement :):D
 
Mine is coming up very slowly to CT, anyone else's phone on the Newark, NJ location?

Yup. 2 16GB black phones, still stuck in Newark. Poor things. Arrived there at 7 AM today. Not sure what's taking them so long to get going.
 
So I called another Internet Sales Rep and she told me my phones are being shipped individually and she gave me two longer tracking numbers for each phone apart from the one main shorter tracking number if that makes sense. So I "should" be receiving both. But when I go to Fedex and put the longer tracking number, shows not found.
 
Im in the same situation as you, all I have is my confirmation e-mail from 11am... nothing else, no charge, no tracking, nothing... im still looking for that 10% chance they bump me to 9/21 from 9/26

My bigger gripe is both the store on day 1 and an internet sales rep have said, "oh no worry, you ordered yours early enough. It may say ship on 9/21 but you'll have it on Friday."

Thinking not so much. Irritating.

That's exactly what I am doing, and I am usign the form from last year. Someone in the pre-sign thread reported receiving that same form from Apple after calling them and asking about release authorization. I do live in a pretty nice gated community and I have never heard of a package being stolen from the door out here, so I think the FedEx driver's discretion should be on my side in this too.

I won't be home tomorrow at all and if I leave no note or anything will they just bring it back to the local hub?

Read through my recent posts, you'll find the info you're looking for there.
