I called Apple yesterday and asked if I ordered a phone now when would it be delivered. Apple dude said the 17th (i.e. today). I then order said phone online where delivery was also marked to be the 17th. Today is the 17th and no phone has been delivered. Estimated delivery date is now the 18th.
I know it's only one day but you'd think if they say it is going to be delivered on a particular day they should feel somewhat obligated to send it by that date. BTW - this is not the first time that this has happened with moving delivery dates.
