You can come back tomorrow to check up on all of us who ordered from Apple.

I have a question. Is my package from Apple going to be at my house by 10:30am (like it says) or is this the whole "unless to a residence" thing? I called UPS and held for like 5 minutes only to be told I need to call the international number, which just gave a busy signal. What is this, 1995????????

Mine says delivery by 4:30...which I am not going to hold my breath. I've had it say that and not ever get the package until after 7 PM. I had that happen once...I had given up on a package coming that day.
 
Seriously, I'm so annoyed by this. It was shipped "Next Day Air" and the warehouse it came from is 10 miles away.

Please explain to me how people hundreds of miles away already got theirs when they were shipped on the same day, but I'm still waiting. :mad:

I don't know...it likely went to the main processing center which I think is in Memphis and then probably back to your local FedEx facility?

Nope. It's been within a 15-20 mile radius of me the entire time. :mad:

What pisses me off more than anything is that a friend of mine, who lives about 1.5 miles away from me GOT HERS!
 
for everyone who has received their phone, do you notice that the death grip issue is still there? if you hold your finger so you bridge the bottom left gap, my bars went from 4 to 1, 3g to 1x, and pages stopped loading completly. And it's happening everytime it's quite annoying

thats hopefully not gonna be an issue all the time :confused:
 
Just got off the phone with FedEx.

Their answer? Too bad. We were too busy today and didn't get to yours, even though it was out for delivery.

Would you like to pick it up yourself now? You can do that. Oh wait, I'm sorry. They closed 20 minutes ago. Better luck next time.

Now they tell me they can't even guarantee it will get here tomorrow.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Completely ridiculous. I have not been angrier over something in a while. What kind of bull **** response is that?

I would be waiting for them when they opened in the morning!
 
I want to call Fedex to see if they can hold my package tomorrow but reading every ones experience with Fedex.. I'm scared.

I'm in the same boat. My package was out for delivery all day and returned back to the local FedEx around 7pm. I called and was told due to the weather the driver couldn't get to all the deliveries. What weather I asked, it hasn't snowed since Saturday morning and all of the roads are clear. Now it's supposed to be here tomorrow by 3. I honestly wouldn't have cared about it coming tomorrow if it had sat around the warehouse all day, but for it to actually have been on the truck out for delivery all day and not actually be delivered, really makes me angry.
 
So i just called FedEx and they told me they have a policy with Verizon that they must attempt to deliver once before i can pick it up at a location. Grr!
 
I'm sitting here waiting for the status to go "Back at FedEx Facility". I would THINK that putting it on a truck, driving it around all day and NOT delivering it would be a delivery attempt and I could pick it up... if it doesn't come tonight FedEx will be getting a very unhappy phone call.

Same here. They gave me the BS weather response too. I was about to say what weather? You mean the 50 degrees and sunny we had all day?

I'm just so pissed that I made it a point to clear my afternoon today to be here to accept it, and it was wasted. Won't be home all day tomorrow or Wednesday. If they don't leave it at my door tomorrow after I sign a note telling them to, any amount of understanding I showed with them on the phone tonight is out the window.

I was told that as well. Such BS. I blame Verizon for that one.

Got mine at 10:00am with a 10:30 delivery time.
 
Im in central Jersey and ordered before 3am in the exact situation, the tracking site said shipped on thursday afternoon as well. Still havent received any tracking number, very frustrating. Called vzw and they were completely worthless as well. What happened to first come first serve basis? I dont know how much more first come ordering before 3 am could be right?

Question, how did you order before 3:00 am if it wasn't supposed to start until 3:00??

Actually, I ordered mine at 12:52 AM Mountain (2:52 Eastern). The actually opened orders about 2:45 AM Eastern. I was order #50. Got mine just a few minutes ago.
 
To everyone else awaiting their package... good luck. Hope you don't get this absolutely charming screen like I currently have:

*sigh*

Well... I guess its something to look forward to for tomorrow. That is, if I actually get it.
 
Take a chill pill.

You should enroll in an anger management class - soon.

Your new shiny toy will be a day late.

Keep things in perspective. By next Monday it will not make a difference whether it arrived on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.
