Direct Fulfillment vs. Waiting

As there doesn't seem to be any iphones at the stores, what is the difference between direct fulfillment and waiting? It seems the store people are recommending waiting instead of puting an order in. Am I missing something?

Thanks
Mark

If you wait for a phone, its just a stroke of luck if you find one. With direct fulfillment, you get a phone shipped to your local store with your name on it. only downfalls to DF is if for some reason you find a phone in another store after yours has shipped, you get to pay a cancellation fee. Also as of right now, there is a 11 to 20 day wait on DF. orders...

thats not totally true thier is no cancelation fee cause thier is not contract done with a DF, however if you return the DF you pay a restock fee of 10%....people that did a DF on friday have been getting thier phones in the store in less then 3 business days.....as demand rises the waite gets longer

I ordered my white iPhone last Tuesday and got it on Friday. Direct fullfillment was much better than waiting.

Perhaps, it was the first shipment following the weekend that this particular Salem, Oregon store received.
