Does anywhere in Southern California get Saturday delivery from UPS? I have not received the Apple email, but I'm know UPS doesn't deliver to where I live on Saturdays. Do those of you who got the bad news emails from Apple normally get UPS deliveries on Saturdays? Maybe they didn't bother to send the emails to people who weren't expecting their iPads on the 3rd?
In transit to Guangzhou
Mine is still in transit to Guangzhou like a few others. I have saturday delivery here, and I called UPS and they said it should be here on the 3rd. Is anyone else in transit to Guangzhou from Check Lap Kok? I'm not the only one stressing my iPad get's on this plane tonight? I need this thing Saturday. I'm leaving for a week on Monday. Come on UPS, move, move, move!

I'm not sure where you are in SoCal, but I'm in San Diego. I messaged a couple UPS guys on Twitter. Here are the responses I got from them.
@MikeAtUPS
If you're in the city itself, you will most certainly see your iPad on Saturday.

I've spoken to Apple, UPS, and UPS's International office (since this is considered an international package from China). They all agree that I'm screwed. I've tried everything I could think of. The bottom line is, unlike FedEx Home Delivery, UPS won't deliver to my house on Saturday. Period. Of course, they absolutely cannot allow me to pick it up tomorrow. My distribution center is not open for pick ups on Saturdays and even if they were they are not allowed to release the package until after the first delivery attempt is made. Unfortunately, for me that is Monday.
So, the only thing left that I can think of is to go to an Apple Store at 2PM and hope to get one that somebody reserved but didn't pickup.
Then, to top off this horrible surprise, I just watched Modern Family. Surreal.

Best thing to do is call 18007827892 ( UPS Support for International Packages) .That is the international number. Make sure you select #2 at the prompt for international and call them. They would be able to tell you. They have made special arrangements with Apple to get these things out.
At this point I dont care where it is as long as I get it by Saturday.
Its too confusing, im one of the ipad's on the current shipment from check lak kok or whatever its called. But i go to multiple tracking services and it says its on a flight to Louisville or it was its shipped from Louisville to my current town.
Idk what to believe anymore

I fully expect your on UPS 21, if so, you will get your AK scan at around 2:00 Eastern time
UPS Flight43
So does anyone know if the UPS Flight 43 left Korea? How can it leave Korea at a little after 1am and arrive in Anchorage around 1am when it's just after Noon in Korea now and it's only about an 8 hour flight? It should have been in Anchorage hours ago.

Just to review, here are what we suspect (given a buncha wild guesses and assumptions, proven to be correct almost 10% of the time)
If you have
DEPARTURE SCAN CHEK LAP KOK, HK
Within the last couple line items of your tracking detail.....
You should be aboard UPS 21,

If you have

San Bernardino Mountains. We don't get home mail delivery, either, and half the time when I order something online, I get an error message saying that UPS doesn't think there is any such address, even though I get stuff delivered here from Amazon all of the time.
It was supposed to depart at 9:21 Eastern, we should see data from when actually left within the next two hours.
WOAH!! Guys! My package went from Hong Kong to Kentucky to New York within 6 hours!! It's actually on it's way to my local UPS facility in Manhattan

My guess is that most people will see their iPads at or near their local UPS shipping facility tomorrow.
Hmm, I'm gonna call them up and see if I can pick it up, they're known for crappy service, and bad employees, so I guess they wont give a frack and give it to me.
Thanks, I'll be checking! Hopefully I don't have to wait until tomorrow to get it on a plane. Fingers crossed
They did inform you at order time that some areas would have Monday delivery. How can you fault Apple when you chose to take that risk?
Thanks, I was getting nervous. I really wish they would just take mine off the plane once it lands here rather than sending it to KY to just turn around and send it back here to Alaska. Oh well....
