No. They automatically updated to Saturday delivery when I received the new delivery date email this morning. Interesting enough, when hovering over the "Service Upgraded" text on the tracking page it says "This service has been upgraded to UPS Ground".

Well, this is interesting. Maybe they will do Saturday deliveries. I think they owe it to us.

Wow, if they really are doing Saturday deliveries, I'll be impressed.

Just got this from the chat. She insisted it will be delivered tomorrow

UPS Rep.: I completely understand, however I see that the package is definitely going to be delivered tomorrow.

UPS Rep.: I see that it shows upgraded, because it was specially arranged to be delivered on Saturday. I'm afraid that the UPS Ground information must be a glitch in the system.

Ahh I see where I missed it. I meant one from ups63 (the one the phone arrived on, not sure it's the one going to be carrying it to Louisville though)

Anyone leave for KY yet? I wonder if our departure times will now be based on final destination. There's a KY to RDU at 4:30 AM, so I don't need to be in KY for awhile.

Apple just told me the reason why UPS flight was delayed was as severe storm in Seoul. A storm that no weather report showed and every other flights from Incheon was able to fly through. Oh and she also added and I quote, "That’s fantastic that other travelers were able to fly through the storm."

Just got off chat with UPS. My package hasn't left AK yet. I asked about Saturday delivery and they said it wasn't requested. They also said that picking up at UPS store takes 1 day to process so I also wouldn't be able to do that either. ****.

801's presuming ups63 is going to carrying i7's to Louisville, should happen next 12 minutes or so fingers crossed
My phone landed in AK @10:41am and hasn't left yet. I'm not sure if they go out on the same plane they came in on, or what is going on. I don't think UPS knows what's going on. Lol

The worst part of this isn't the delay. It's that none of us really know when we can expect our package. If they flat out said it was delayed and delivery would be on the 26th, I wouldn't complain. But first it was the 22nd, then 23rd and now no information at all. With that bs severe weather delay, this lack of information is what's so frustrating.

801 crew just got off ups chat. Complete waste of time. They were not able to provide me with ANY new information. The only thing they did say is that they are waiting for the packages to clear customs. they said once the packages due it could be 1-2 business days to be delivered. I asked if they could see if a saturday delivery day was possible or requested they said no. So basically no help was offered
