dont worry....UPS told me even if people dont have Saturday delivery...they have a special arrangement to make it happen...:)
 
okay FINALLY...I got a UPS agent to fill me in and they are now all up to date on the "special arrangement" that Apple has with UPS. Although none of their systems (it figures) accurately show the updated info in tracking, UPS is well aware that Apple has a guarantee that their customers will receive these packages by Saturday April 3rd and UPS is now open all day because of this arrangement and to assist customers. So UPS finally let their agents know to fill the Apple customers calling that they will indeed get their packages on Saturday April 3rd per Apples arrangement!

about time...this is the info I was waiting to hear!

Agreed! I waited there for I think it was the iPhone 3G, and the actual store opening. I'll sleep in this time, and just wait for the doorbell to ring :)

Nice! Looks like we'll be sitting next to eachother on the flight. Ok now to track the flight. Looks like it is late in taking off.
 
I definitely seem to be in a later wave--didn't get tracking # till last night, tracking # didn't start showing legit info till this morning, and I'm still strictly in Shenzhen/Origin Scan territory.
