Standard overnight is delivery by 8pm. Priority overnight is delivery by 10am or noon, can’t remember which. Though if I remember correctly, they don’t guarantee priority times on high volume days such as an Apple product release.
Yeah, also if they run late and can’t get the package delivered on the day it’s supposed to be you’ll have to wait until Monday because they won’t deliver it on Saturday. also, I’m not sure if you’ll be able to go pick it up either because they wouldn’t have left you a delivery notice.
Correctamundo because AT&T specifies weekday delivery for some reason (see “special handling” on tracking info). I do believe you can pickup without the notice, especially if you have the delivery manager setup. FedEx does standard home delivery 7 days a week now so I’m not sure how that will play into missed deliveries. Here in Knoxville, Ground and Express are two separate locations on different sides of town even.
Ok… well I only mentioned that because when my 13 pro max was to be delivered on a Friday (launch day) FedEx was late and never showed up. I called them to see if they were going to make a delivery attempt on Saturday. I was told no because it was a regular overnight package and not a priority package. So I had to wait until Monday to receive it. Seeing FedEx run late has happened twice to me recently regarding overnight packages.
I really really dislike FedEx.
Edit: Took a while but tracking number works now for a package from Ingram Micro in Indianapolis.
I still dislike FedEx.

Well this was unexpected! In the past, all of my iPhone preorders with AT&T have shipped with FedEx. Just got a notification saying it is shipping via UPS this time around.
Give it an hour or so. Mine did this earlier, but has now updated to "label printed" etc etc coming from Ingram Micro- Indianapolis.
Glad to finally have shipping information! This is the first time in a few years that my phone didn’t ship UPS!
I like many others UPS tracking , waiting for It be updated from label created. Wonder if ups is area dependent. or Just that fedex just can handle so many deliveries. i have mine going to a my ups box, always worried about porch pirates. Think friday they will be out in force, though I don’t think they realize, if my understanding is correct, that no physical SIM card makes it much tougher to use a stolen phone
When I check order history from my AT&T account I still don’t see anything, but I did receive an email update with tracking for both phones I ordered. They’re shipping UPS Next Day Air Saver from Indiana and have an estimated delivery date of Friday!
I just received an email stating that the Apple Watch series 8 for my wife has shipped, the AT&T site still shows that the item is about to be shipped. So this means that they haven’t updated the orders on my account for the watch and possibly for my iPhone. However my iPhone probably hasn’t shipped yet since I haven’t received an email for it. Lame! The watch has shipped via ups.
It's hilarious to see everyone panicking over their iPhone shipment status. When it gets there, it gets there. Reminds me of tax season...where's my refund!!!!!!!

Hey all! First time poster as I’ve just been mostly following this thread. Thought I’d share something interesting that happened. I ordered 2 phones on 9/9. 14P purple for me wife and 14PM black for me. I got an alert from UPS that hers is shipping via UPS and her status also changed on AT&T saying it shipped. Mine on the other hand is coming from FedEx and it still showing Great News! We’re about just about ready to ship your order on AT&T. My shipment info for my phone also showed Expected to Ship Fri Sept 23 even though I ordered our phones the same time.

Mine is also showing changed delivery to now be end of day today, though I know that’s not correct.
I've been on the AT&T Unlimited Starter plan since January; I live in Philadelphia, and have had no speed issues with the network whatsoever.
Granted, I have not been out at July 4th's Welcome America celebration - where I would not be shocked to experience speed issues with a heavily congested network at such a popular public event.
But overall, I have no complaints with Unlimited Starter speeds at all in these 9 months with it.
finally got an email this morning from AT&T that my order shipped
