You know some people actually have a thing called a job, therefore can't be at home waiting all day for a courier to turn up which could be from 9 - 5.
Therefore collecting on lunch break, or whatever, plus there are other stores that sell it instead of lining for hours at an Apple store, I got the iPad 2 in ten mins last year at a different store.

I've always wondered this, why do people camp out/wait in line when they can just pre-order and get it on the same day?
it's called pre authorization signature.
That job come with any time off? I mean, it's not like Apple launches new iPads every week...
Time off a PAYING job to collect a device? some people have their priorities mixed up, I have a family to provide for I don't take days of work just because there is a new bit of kit on the market.
Then where does it go if you are at work?
I'm sorry to hear that man.![]()
fedex will leave it in front of your house like any of your other packages.

Why are you sorry? isn't that norm then? working to provide for a family? or am I missing something here
Some people have it given to them on a plate I take it.
Where do you live that you would consider having FedEx leave a $500+ device on your doorstep until you get home from work? Especially on iPad launch day, when people will *know* that there may be expensive packages just left around?
I was sorta kidding about being a grown up, "providing for a family", and not being able to take a day off and blow it on an iPad.
I work. I provide. But if I couldn't take a day off and blow it on my favorite hobby, I'd be

My point entirely, it's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Fair enough, I mean, I can take the day off by all means, but I wouldn't get paid for it! therefore it's not worth it for me, I'll get it on my lunch break![]()

you're kidding me right? plenty of people pre sign for their ipads/iphones because they cannot be home for what ever reason.

Yeah, but on iPad launch day that's a really bad idea. Thieves salivate for days like this. They read the internets...
