    I requested late delivery from FedEx for my Q10 (to ensure I would get it after I got home). The delivery is scheduled to be dropped off between 5PM and 8PM.
    I'm at home at 4:30 and FedEx comes pulling in behind me. I get all excited, he grabs the box, comes out of the truck and says "Wait a second, I have to deliver this at 5... Let me call my boss"

    He calls his boss, he tells him that if e delivers before 5, it's considered a "late" delivery.

    Long story short, he left with my Q10 in his hand until he returns in an hour or so.

    OH THE HUMANITY!!!

    Now that's some impressive situational and policy awareness by the FedEx driver...

    Just have a snack and take a nap so you're ready to stay up late playing and customizing it.

    Wow, that's a first - never heard of it. Maybe FedEx is taking efficiency training designed by the US Government.

    Agreed! I commend him for not "bending the rules" in this situation, but that box looked so enticing!

    So did he come back, or did you find your Q on eBay at 6 PM?

    you should see the other post - phone received but loops on the rebooting - worse still, it was bought by a friend overseas so can't go back and return for another...talk about pulling you hair out ;-)

    I've even it had it happened where they say they arrived and buzzed my apartment code and said nobody was home. Funny thing, I was home and the guy lied about my delivery. I use tracking programs to track packages for work so I knew an attempt was not even made and obviously I was home as well.

    Sorry, but all I can do is laugh at this. He's right of course, but that doesn't make watching him walk away w/ your long awaited box any easier

    I couldn't imagine going through that waiting for my Q10. I went through something similar for a different device and decided to try my luck with in store stock...needless to say I got the Q10 early.

    Update when you can. Good luck getting it, you will love it.
