They are mandated to do what they can to have it not be delivered until Friday, however if you know how to manipulate the system and change the delivery date to make it earlier they can't deny you taking you package.
For example, don't change the delivery option until AFTER it's shipped from apple, cause if you do it before their system will have the shipping process slowed down to make it not available at their location until Friday, but if you change the location, after it's in the air being shipped to the HUB! Then the system will have no ability to change the in air date or time to slow the process allowing you to skip the truck sorting process and it'll become available A.S.A.P.
