I just found something interesting from someone who ordered from Verizon. Apparently Verizon shipped out someone's iPhone today, however they gave FedEx instructions to hold the package until set delivery date (Friday). Check out the screen shot.
So in other words even if it gets to that person's local Fedex distribution center by Thursday, then do not deliver it and hold it until Friday. That's really lame that Apple would require retailers to hold packages when the embargo has been lifted. Can someone explain (if any one knows) why Apple refuses to deliver the device when after the embargo has been lifted?
Anyways this definitely is evidence like some have said that regular shipping likely won't send out until tomorrow at the earliest, and 1 day shipping likely won't send out until Thursday at the earliest. If that's the case I will definitely be asking T-Mobile to refund my $25 for 1 day shipping. They should not even allow that option on their order page if it makes no actual difference.
