And did you have expedited shipping? My last one came really early but I don't know if that was by design or if I just got lucky with that day's route. I'm trying to figure out if I need to make other arrangements because I don't want it left outside my door.
Got a tip for us?

What time in the day did your 5S/5C deliver?

I think you'll find the time of day your device gets delivered on really depends on your local route. It's not like Apple devices have some sort of special delivery times with UPS, FedEx, etc.
I figured express shipping may have something to do with it. Normally UPS comes super late to my house, but all my Apple products have come before 9am.
I had standard shipping, but Apple upgraded it automatically to Expedited shipping. It came a little before noon at my UPS Store (where all my mail is sent, since I have box there).
So it got dropped off without a signature, huh.. Were you okay with that? I understand you can pre-sign for delivery online..
Although I live in a very nice neighborhood, I'd be skittish about leaving a new phone on my doorstep all day unattended.
Nope. If it is a residence, UPS can take up to and even later than 8pm to deliver. Express will maybe get it to your house a day early but it will be ruled by residential protocol unless it was sent over night express.
Typically speaking, your home deliveries will all be delivered at similar times from one day to the next, the drivers run pre-planned routes and they don't alter them unless there are extenuating circumstances.
FedEx for me delivers early in the morning, UPS on the other hand delivers around 6pm.
If you are referring to Businesses, they also run on a pre-determined schedule, but if you requested FedEx overnight early AM or UPS Next Day Air (not saver), you may receive an earlier delivery.

I did a pre-delivery "Leave on the doorstep" notice online.
What's interesting to me was that it said delivery would be 8 pm. I left a notice on the website saying that if after 4 pm, delivery to doorstep is fine, but no one will be there to sign before 4 on 10/11. When I got home, it wasn't where I suggested they place it. It was on the ground in front of the step to the door level, and had been there since 10:30-10:45 am. I wasn't happy about it being out in the sun all day, but obviously I was happy to get the phone.
