Security will have certain streets closed, and I imagine traffic will be snarled, and a UPS van going into the area would be slowed down to check out each package going in there.
Got a tip for us?

Yup people getting bent out of shape need to go for a jog and clear their heads. It's a day or two delay. Bfd. I'll live.
Get over it. If it were Obama, the same crap would be happening.
And, by the way, "His Excellency" has more for the poor in one year the Protestants and Agnostics combined. The man is a true treasure, and I'm not Catholic.
The UN General Assembly takes place every year at this time. It screws up traffic royally, but generally doesn't disrupt shipments too much. I think the combination of the pope and the UN at the same time is what is stretching the NYPD thin.
when you think about it, Saturday delivery should be a no-brainer - UPS does Saturday delivery, where odds with FDX is that you wouldn't get it until Monday. If everyone is jonesing as bad as they are now, an extra 12 hours after getting off of work isn't going to make it any worse than it already is now.
BL.
The guy clearly exists.
I'm no physicist, but I'm just not convinced. I believe the scientists are divided on this issue, and a blog I read linked to this paper by a scientist who said there is some data that suggests the pope does not exist.
The Pope's visit was announced months ago, and like someone else mention the UN General Assembly is usually around this time. So it's not like UPS and FedEx were caught off guard. Pushing the deliveries to Saturday was most likely the cheapest option. I do think they should have given people who live in that zip code the option of picking their packages up at their depot.
the pope is the last person i'd ask about my technology. he and his church killed more scientist than anybody else on Earth.
Approximately how many scientists has Pope Francis killed so far?
Bro I am with u on that one, like I said in another thread religion is a suppression tool
Somewhere in the stratosphere circles a joke that missed its landing.
While I will be unaffected by this, and a one day delay isn't the biggest of deals, this visit has been known about for weeks. I really feel Apple should've done the right thing here and delivered on Thursday to people in the affected zip codes. When those people ordered they saw "Delivers by: 9/25", so they shouldn't have to wait an extra day when most likely their phone is at their local hub, or will be.
I wonder why they won't ship them sooner if this is the case. Assuming they are not (for ones that would have been held at the shipping company purposely until Friday).
Insert obligatory "This thread will be productive!" sarcastic remark.
Really, I wouldn't be upset by this because of a delayed iPhone, I'd be upset for the insane amount of traffic and headache this is about to cause for a bunch of people.

It's all part of the plan. Darth Francis will cause the delays to sow discord and strife to topple the government.
Always two there are, no more, no less.

I think you misconstrue. Darth Francis is visiting the US. I showed you the Sith Lord.
