I spoke with customer care also, the department where I would pick it up. They said they lock the door at 7:30pm.
Honestly not worth a 25min drive (one way).
I'll cross my fingers and hope for delivery tomorrow. If not, guess I'm going into work late on Monday because I'm not going to miss delivery again.
Well,
Props to the UPS driver. He came back for a 2nd attempt. He said he saw the notice but didn't leave it because the gardeners were outside.
Success!
Lucky! I have a space also, behind a large pillar where all my packages are left. I also noted that on the form.
Like the UPS lady said, they were told directly not to leave any Apple packages today at front door.
The UPS distribution center near me is having issues, my date got changed from today until Monday.
I tweeted at UPS with disproval, and they tweeted me back saying to email them my tracking info and phone number. A few minutes later, we worked out a deal that they're sending my package to a local center so I can pick it up tonight...I was impressed. The center is only about ten minutes away, but totally worth it.
