I don't see how UPS has "failed miserably" on a non-expedited saturday delivery to a residential address. The terms are from 9am to 7pm. The time depends on where you are on the route. Whats so slow about that? Its like some people haven't shipped anything before.

If anything, Apple failed on providing an expedited early AM delivery option. I'd pay extra not to have to sit around all day.

The key here is that ours are Expedited.

4 PM EST in Northern Virginia and all is NOT well! No delivery yet. However, I'm getting a lot of reading done while waiting.
 
Just got mine guys, same delivery truck driver as weekdays, same truck. In Gilbert just off Highley and Germann 1:04pm.
 
It's HERE!!!!!!!!!

I had reason to be concerned about my tracking.... my driver had to make a special trip to Daytona Beach to pick it up for us!!! It should have been on the Orlando flight as we thought. Never made sense to send it to a hub 3 hours away!

Never fear - i'm letting her open it ;) (only so i can take some pictures of her doing it!)

Got mine! Phone ranged....I was hoping it was UPS. Caller ID showed United Parcel Service, my heart skipped a beat. Picked up phone, as calmly as I could, said "hello".

He said since UPS normally does not do Sat delivery to my area, I could drive to the hub and pickup if I wanted, or wait until Monday for delivery. I said hell yeah! How long you gonna be there? He said, until you come.

Sweetness! I had begun to give up hope of being lucky, that I would indeed have to wait until Monday. In another thread I blasted Apple for stupidity of Sat release, but thank goodness they seemed to have stressed to UPS to get these out Sat if possible.

Apache Jct. Arizona

The UPS truck just dropped off our iPads and is now on his way to Gold Canyon! I was one who received the dreaded email from Apple that I was not getting my iPad until Monday ..... whew .... glad I stayed home today and waited anyway!

Now ... off to unpack!
 
1:19pm UPS dropped it off! UPS guy said "I know you've been waiting for this package" LOL
 
Called UPS, got to an agent right away and he was nice, told me the package is still on its way (he also verified the address for me without me asking)and UPS is trying to get every single iPad to their customer by 7pm including me. If not by 7, they'll try to push to the end. I thanked him for his patience and hopefully it'll be here within the next three hours.
