This was aggravating me originally too, Now just to put the icing or the cake( or really the vaseline on my ass is what it feels like) not only is my order needing more information but the hold on my card has been removed.
Got a tip for us?

UPS does in fact deliver on saturdays, though only for certain times of shipping. I believe ground shipping does not ship on saturdays but they do have an option for 2nd day air that does deliver saturdays. and if somehow they do not deliver on saturday, you can go up to the ups center to manually pick up your package on saturday.

That would be nice. At least in my own personal experience, regardless of the delivery type, including next day air( but not next day A.M. Air as I've never used it) saturday delivery is an option for a 10 dollar charge, but must be added before hand. However with the size of these companies and the magnitude of the orders i wouldn't be surprised if they worked out a deal to just have saturday delivery as an as needed option and just add the charge on a case by case basis when needed.
If you have not received a tracking number try this. This may give you peice of mind...
1st go to ups.com
2nd go to tracking
3rd look for track by reference
4th select package, under reference type your phone number(it could be under any number on your account so be prepared to try them all), Leave dates at their default, Do not select shipper account and do not type in the account box, Select your country and put in your BILLiNg zip code.
Hopefully this works for you....
That only works for apple.com orders. For Sprint.com orders, you have to use your account # instead. It's 9 digits. And for the record, it took like 6 hours after my tracking number started working before that did. Not sure why, but that's what went on.
"If you pre-ordered an iPhone, you are one step closer to getting your phone. We know you are dying to get your hands on it. Excluding extreme circumstances, we'll do our best to get it to you Friday, Oct. 14 or Saturday, Oct. 15. Your tracking number included below may not be updated until Friday, Oct. 14. "[/QUOTE]
So this is more communication that you got then I have the whole time. They didnt even send a confirmation email after I made my order. So thats why I am pretty frustrated with the lack of communication in my case.

I got my tracking number by using the BAN# Sprint sent me in the "track by reference" on the UPS if that's any help for anyone. I'm a new customer to Sprint new number and everything not porting any number.
I'm guessing the BAN# is your account number I'm not sure. Can anyone confirm this?

Haha congrats I cheered myself when i got my tracking number also.
I think what he was trying to tell you was that while your situations is a great tragedy that we all like to hear about, at some point you have to realize there's nothing anyone here can do to help you. So constantly posting about it won't get you anywhere unfortunately and it is kinda annoying.

No way! You're the first person on here. How sure are you it was the actual IPhone, what does your tracking info say when you enter it into UPS.com?
Don't know if anyone's posted this or not (don't have time to search the threads) but I just noticed this on my order.

I, like many of you, am waiting for the UPS site to refresh. For those of you who have been shafted, my condolences. Nothing worse than having your heart set on something only to have it ripped out of your virtual hands. I hope Sprint bends over backwards in making this right for you. If not Sprint, try Apple. They could probably do something for you too.

That sucks. I would have ran down to the UPS center to snag it. Then again, I'm watching my UPS status like a hawk so it wouldn't get past me.
