One of my coworkers said that his wife's is at UPS and has been since Sunday, however they refuse to deliver until Friday. That is the worst in the world. I would rather not know!

I can practically see the FedEx distribution center from my office in Ann Arbor, MI but still have to wait!! When I click the tracking page to "Hold at location" is tells me "Hold at FedEx Location service is not available for this shipment"

Ugh!!

I have a question...I ordered mine through AT&T and I am wondering what I do when I get it? How do I activate it? Will it already have the SIM in the phone or will I have to go to a store and get one put it?

Let's all just promise each other that when our iPhones arrive we are extra careful with the box cutters. We don't want to lose a thumb or finger. I just picture us running down the stairs in excited taking a bad fall in front of the couriers.

Not only that, you don't want to scratch your brand new iPhone before you even get to see it or cut your new earpods or charger hahaha

Decided to register so I could join in on the excitement!

Saw via my Apple store app last night that a UPS label was created, cc was also charged. Got an email from Apple today saying it left Apple on September 17th and that I will receive it on September 25th..seemed kinda odd as I pre-ordered mine online just shortly after midnight PST.

Hopefully the date changes when the phone actually reaches a UPS sorting facility!

*fingers crossed*

The nano sim will be pre-installed. All you have to do is turn the phone on and follow the directions on the screen to activate it.;)

I am scheduled for 10:30am tomorrow. UPS!!
I am so excited, but I won't be home until 11:15am. Ae they usually on time?
Can they just leave the package at my door? Or in my mailbox? It should be small enough to fit. If I miss the delivery, how long will it take until it's back at the closest UPS location for me to pick up? Does anybody know that?

Don't know about being on time, but last year for the 4s I was able to sign for the phone electronically via their site by signing up for MyUPS. I believe Apple also has a release for on their site somewhere you can print out.

When I had missed deliveries, the local hub is open for pickups AFTER seven o'clock. Granted, it could be even later on IPhone day as you have to wait for the truck to get back. Also I believe they close at nine. Check their site for the location nearest you for hours of availability.

Thats exactly what I got today. I ordered just after midnight also. It also says the 25th for me. Not happy. I hate waiting for my toys, lol.
