I spoke to a sprint rep yesterday that confirmed for me that their delivery service does not do Saturday deliveries. They said I should expect it either Friday or Monday. I stayed up to do the preorder on the phone & was so sleep deprived that I gave them my work address for shipping. That would be a problem for me if it gets delivered on a Saturday. I called sprint twice to have them change the shipping address & they told me that my package was already at their processing center waiting to be shipped & that I have to wait until I actually get an email with the tracking # & update my shipping address with the delivery carrier directly. I think we'll be seeing them shipped out sooner than later.
I talked with a rep, and this is what they told me;
You: I don't know if you have this type of information, but here it goes. If I am not mistaken your primary shipping carrier is UPS and you are trying for the item to be delivered on the 27th but If i am not mistaken UPS doesn't deliver on Saturdays, I mean they do but they CHARGE extra, is Sprint willing to pay this extra money to get it delivered?
Jessica: We use different shipping carriers. Many orders are shipping by UPS, but we also use USPS and FedEx. There are some cases such as an account type or location when UPS may not be the best choice for delivery. UPS's ability to deliver on Saturdays will depend on their local facility's days and hours of delivery.
Jessica: After your order has shipped, the shipping carrier is going to update the scheduled date of delivery so you can confirm you'll have it by the 27h.
Jessica: *27th.
Jessica: If the delivery date is not immediately updated, but you've received your tracking information to know which shipping carrier has been assigned to your package, you can contact them directly to confirm if they deliver locally on Saturdays.
You: I understand, so let me see If I understand. They will ship the item before the 27th to try to get it delivered by the 27th, right?
Jessica: Yes, the expectation for the pre-orders being received is by 4/27.
