Pick up at local Fedex warehouse

my husband had a suggestion. . . mine states that it has been picked up from Ft Worth and isn't scheduled for delivery until Monday, June 22nd using 2-day.

he suggested that there have been numerous times that he calls the local fedex office once the shipment shows up there and has them hold the package and then he picks it up locally. so it's possible if fedex get it locally tomorrow in your city that you could potentially pick it up tomorrow.

he said he's done it before with other packages. Thought I'd share with the group.

how does this work exactly. Usually, when it arrives in the nearby facility it will be out for delivery that same day.

In my experience you won't have much luck with this as with 2nd day shipping Fedex usually has the item showing up in your city the day it is scheduled to to go out to your door.

You can check the tracking number and IF it shows up in your city tomorrow and IF that happens before a cut off time for a pickup then you MIGHT be able to travel to a Fedex hub and pick it up yourself.

Lot of 'IFs'.

yeah, it's not guaranteed. just thinking maybe they will go ahead and ship it to the city tomorrow and not have it out for delivery til Tuesday. I'll be monitoring my details closely to see if I can get it sooner.
 
HAHAHA, Thanks AT&T, looks like im stuck with just a SIM:


"We shipped part of your recently placed AT&T Premier order.

We will ship the remaining backordered items when all items are in stock and will notify you via email with the tracking number.

To track your shipment(s) online, go to the shipping carrier's website."
 
Mine is now showing just the iPhone itself, nothing shipped column, but it does now say FDE in the carrier. It’s coming! :D
 
I ordered my phone through premier on June 12th. My status on premier shows that my order was received and should be processed soon blah blah. When I checked my status through the wireless att site, it still shows backordered and that my order was received on June 15th.

I just got off the phone with a rep from att premier and he said that my phone should ship tomorrow and arrive next week between monday - wednesday. I'm going for Monday because i selected overnight when I bought the phone.
 
well come to think of it, it either arrives here in LA either tomorrow or Monday right? Or does it arrive on the weekend? If tomorrow, do I just call? What do I tell them? The hub is only 15 miles away from me anyway.
 
So people here have ordered ONLINE from the premier store to be shipped to their business or home....and are getting tracking numbers?

I guess us people that ordered from the regular ATT website are getting the shaft again.
 
better response calling

I also realized calling Premier's # gets you better response than going through the website. The website said ordered but when I called they had a tracking number. It wasn't until 2+ hrs later did the website say order. It still doesn't have the tracking info but I go it from the rep. Fedex says it's been picked up.

Just saying that many of you might already have tracking info assigned but the website hasn't updated.

the same here, i called AT&T and she gave me a FedEx tracking number but the site says its ordered, call the Premier line and they will give the tracking number, for me it says the delivery date is 22, can't wait. :D
 
when I checked mine, it had everything. shipped status and tracking all at once. I kept checking until it did, every 2 minutes or so :)
 
when I check the status it says: "Shipment information sent to FedEx" and with estimated delivery date of June 22nd ..it has not been scanned yet do I wont go by that date ....

Yes. Ordered online June 10 for home delivery. Have a tracking number that currently indicates Monday delivery.
 
I now got the email confirmation that my order was shipped and is scheduled for delivery tomorrow before 3:00 PM with all tracking info.
