IPhone :: Fedex Delivery Leave It Outside Door At Apartment Complex
Jun 24, 2010
Got new iPhone today, but Fedex tried to give it away I guess. Just leave it outside my door at an apartment complex.Someone was home too and they didn't even knock or ring bell.Just leave package at door and leave. Luckily person home found it when they went outside. Not sure how long it was there. Important thing is I have it now Reception issue present and no yellow blobs.BTW.Much better luck with UPS here in Southern California. They leave package at leasing office vs just leave it outside and hope someone doesn't take it.
iPhone's being shipped by UPS will be delivered on the 24th iPhone's being shipped by Fedex will be delivered on the 23rd (It shouldn't matter if you ordered through AT&T or Apple.com) The only evidence to back this up is Apple's email to its customers claiming a June 23rd delivery, and all of these orders have Fedex as the carrier. This could mean that AT&T customers with Fedex as the carrier will also receive their iPhone's on the 23rd as well. Though for most AT&T customers there is no data for their tracking. EDIT- Some Fedex tracking information is showing a June 23rd delivery, on par with Apple.com orders. Fedex could be exclusively dealing with June 23rd deliveries while UPS is dealing with June 24th (Actual Launch Day) deliveries.
So. I was tracking my package today and since I am at work and no one was home to sign for the package, I assumed that I would see a delivery attempt on the tracking page. However to my dismay, the phone was left on my front porch without release authorization. The tracking info says the following.Left at front door. Package delivered to recipient address - release authorized This unacceptable for two reasons. First, this would be easy target for thieves. Especially with the wide publicity of the iPhone launch. If I were a thief I'd be driving around residential areas and just swiping any fedex package that left on the front door. Secondly, today is an extraordinarily hot day and the temps are easily in the upper 90's. My porch is in direct sunlight, effectively making the box act as an oven baking my iPhone. So I ended up leaving work for an hour so that I can pick up the phone so it wouldn't bake in the sun for 5 hours. Angry as hell, I called Fedex to see who authorized the release. They said that Fedex reserves the right to release packages in residential areas without a release agreement on file to expedite deliveries because of possible volume issues. WTF! So am I being over-sensitive? Or do I have the right the be a little peeved? I'm actually pretty angry. Almost to the point where I want to call fedex or apple and say I never got the package. But I won't. I'm a good christian boy and never would do such a thing.
That's my FedEx status right now. It's currently on a FedEx vehicle near my city. I can't remember if there's another status after that, maybe "Out for delivery" is what comes next or something? Will my phone come TODAY?
So I just went entered my iPhone tracking number to the FedEx website and looked at the info, and it's "in transit".But then I saw the estimated delivery time I was like what?"Estimated delivery Jun 24, 2010 by 4:30 PM "4:30pm? I never receive packages from them, is this like them? I always get my deliveries by UPS they're usually here between 9am-12pm. What's your estimated time say?
I have the iphone coming in the mail tomorrow via fedex from att.com and idk if im gonna be home to receive it. However, other family members will be at the house. is it possible for one of them to sign for it or can i leave a note at the door for fedex man to leave it by the door? If none of these are adequate, what are my alternatives if i wont be home?
Yesterday I got shipping notification andthe delivery date on the FedEx tracking site was June 24th by 5pm.oday the date changed to June 23rd by 5pm!Possibly getting it a day early? I know they will probably hold it till the 24th, but why would the date change from 24th to 23rd?
I checked my fedex tracking numbers and one of my phones is to be delivered on the 23rd by 10:30! Any one else have a delivery date before the 24th? Now I'm hoping I will get it a day early!
I just checked the status of my delivery, and to my dismay saw the message, "Package not due for delivery" at 9:04pm tonight. It arrived at South San Francisco (5 minutes away from where I live) from Oakland at 6:43pm. I got the email yesterday that told me my package will be delivered on the 23rd, but after seeing this, I doubt it will happen now.
I was just checking the status of my order and it said that it was on the fedex vehicle for delivery? Is anyone else having this? I am not at my delivery address because I got the email it was goingto be delivered tomorrow. I am on my iPhone typing this so I will try to post a screenshot when I get home. Just wondering if anyone else was getting that for their fedex delivery status as well.
My phone is less than a mile away from the house, has been since 6:00 last night. Now the last line reads: Jun 22, 2010 8:56 PM At local FedEx facility XXXXXXXXXXXXX, CA Package not due for delivery I got that stupid email from Apple saying the 23rd but now it looks like it's going to be the 24th. It's not a big deal but it is hard to plan around.
I have decided after reading all the threads that I will pre-order from Apple next Tuesday and now need to decide whether to have home delivery or in store delivery. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Ive heard that to home there may be activation issues and its better to be in store for troubleshooting but in store on launch day may be packed and I may have to wait I've heard that they have 2 different lines for walk ins and pre-orders is this true? If I send to store can I pick up anytime that day? How does apple ship their orders UPS.FedEx.Etc.Just want to get all the facts for both options if possible. This is my first time pre-ordering and just want to be prepared and make the right decision.
I will be out on a meeting for work that morning that FedEx normally arrives but my girlfriend will be home that day all day.Can She sign for it or does the signature HAVE to be my name?
My tracking number says left Oakland, CA yesterday around 4pm. I live in Petaluma, CA which is about an hour away. Was wondering if anyone north of the bay area has had theirs delivered by FedEx yet?
I have been wondering why my Fedex tracking number provided by AT&T isn't working. Is there is problem here? I ordered almost as soon as preordering started, jamming Command+R until the "Coming Soon" icon disappeared from the Apple website.There was no change in the order status from AT&T for a while, until (on the 20th) the status suddenly says "shipped" on the 18th. Weird.
I am like a bunch of you who's package has been stuck in Alaska for over a day...well to find out where it really is call fedex at 800-463-3339 and enter your tracking number in the automated system and it tell you where it really is. It told me mine is on the way to my zicode and will be delivered on the 23rd! So give this a try! It worked for me!
Related to the iPhone launch? http://www.fedex.com/us/update.html It looks like the tracking system for fedex is down. Quit checking your delivery status (I am included ) I think we killed it.
i have the problem in my HTC Sensation when i use 15 minutes to 30 minutes the machine in back down door is very heat, i like to ask is have problem or is normal not a big problem.
So i was about to order a replacement battery door but I'm not too sure who to order from... SW-Box? CNN.cn? Truesupplier? Any suggestions so I don't get stuck with a bad door or so I'm not waiting for 2 months for one. By the way. does CNN.cn prices include shipping?
I've been searching online, but have not been able to find any way to get a replacment battery door. I emailed support a few days ago, but never got a response.
I've noticed recently my volume is significant quieter, which includes alerts, music, ringtones, everything! I tried a battery pull and noticed my volume gets louder when my battery cover is removed.. What could cause my battery door to prevent sound getting out?
It suck cause the bold9000 was known for its loud speakers and even with my battery cover removed its not as loud as it used to be.
I have been trying to track down an issue with my Droid X. The GPS function would not see satellites and correctly locate me on any maps. Today I discovered that the GPS will work if I remove the battery cover. When I replace the cover the GPS stops functioning. What can I do to remedy this, besides leaving the door off.
My battery door has become very weak and creaky since I have to do so many battery pulls. I have the extended battery and it seems the only way to get a new one is to buy another battery. My back door barely stays on. Also, are there any plans on marketing skins for the external battery? This would make the phone feel more solid and protect the bezel from scratches.
Well long story short my blackberry storm died today and verizon is sending me a replacement, and was nice enough to send me a storm 2 as a replacement only bad news is, the storm 2 replacement does NOT come with a battery door.so my question is, does the blackberry storm battery door fit the storm 2? if not,
does anyone know any reliable websites where I can get a blackberry storm 2 battery door?
I can't take my phone into where I work b/c its a secure facility where absolutely no electronic devices (no beepers, no phones, etc) can come in, but its getting too hot here to leave it in my car all day. Any thoughts on what to do? There's a lot on line about not leaving the phone in a hot car but not many suggestions as to what to do with it!
i live in a kinda small town and they claim they will have a lot extra iphone 4s what time should i leave for the store to get a 32gb phone? i was thinking maybe 5 pm the day before? :P
