Oh, I forgot to add that it is highly unlikely that they would have scheduled it for Saturday delivery. It costs an arm and a leg to do that, even if your shipping something small. UPS is _generally_ good at getting things where they should be on time, but unless the shipper or receiver bitch about not getting the package on time, UPS won’t bite the bullet and deliver it on the weekend. That’s just my experience though. YMMV.
