FedEx is a fucking disaster for residential delivery. I would say that less than 50% of the times they're supposed to deliver something to me do they actually do it. Sometimes it's a failure to see the signature waiver. Other times it's delivering to the wrong, but similar, address (e.g., 1st St. instead of 1st Terrace). But good luck getting the phone!

It's pretty rare that I get stuff from FedEx at home; all the vendors I buy from seem to use the cheaper UPS or USPS. I truly wasn't home, and signature waivers are a bad idea in my urban neighborhood two flat. My fucking snow shovel was stolen, so I'm sure that the local derelicts would love something like a cell phone.
I picked up my new phone at the FedEx station last night. It was all ported and ready to go, and I'm pretty happy with it so far. Haven't used the detachable camera yet, but that's just a luxury anyway.
I did _really_ like that you can pick up a FedEx package the evening of the day delivery is attemped, and they're open until 9:00 pm. UPS requires that you arrange to have the package held at the station anytime you want to pick it up before the third delivery has been attempted, and is only open until 6:00 pm. Plus, the wait is always long. So, FedEx gets points in this situation.
