I don't know about other places but around here Saturday deliveries always come before noon, usually between 9 and 10 am. So in effect we will have it before even most of those people camping in the lines LOL seems rather idiotic to me.
Allow me to relate a sad story: I was awaiting a rather expensive shipment of books that were traveling via UPS. I had been tracking them because the weather wasn't particularly good and because I was eager to get them. Early in the morning, it said, "out for delivery"--terrific. I waited all day in spite of knowing from past experience that they usually deliver to our area about 6pm. At 7:30pm, I check the status again--"left at front door". That's odd, I think. You can hear any vehicle come down our driveway, both my husband and I were at home and certainly nobody knocked or rang the doorbell. So, I check the front door--nothing. I check the deck, ditto. Also not at the door downstairs, the kitchen slider or even tucked away in the carport. Bear in mind, it's pitch-black outside and raining. I am not happy. To shorten an already lengthy tale--we finally found the boxes. The next morning, in daylight, my husband spotted them. In a plastic bag. Tied to a post. At the end of our driveway, 1/5 of a mile from the house (it's a long, narrow piece of property), next to a road where any passerby could've seen them and driven off with them. When I contacted UPS to ream some serious butt, I was informed that their driver had been "afraid" to drive down our driveway in case he couldn't turn around--in spite of the fact that we get a fair few deliveries from UPS over the course of a year.
Put all that together and you wonder why I didn't trust UPS (or FedEx; that's another horror story) to deliver my iPad? Considering the number UPS will probably be delivering, I wouldn't count on your "usual" delivery time.
