The reason I ask is b/c I'm paying for overnight shipping, and hoping to use it over the weekend. lol But it seems I won't have it until that following Monday. If so, I'll switch back to 3day shipping. lol

Thanks!

yes thats right.. youll be waiting till monday.. happened on TP2 launch which was a thursday even.. alot of had to wait till tuesday due to labor daay.. pretty much sucked lol..

buy your phone at radio shack or best buy, and youll actually have it on launch day..

Sprint ships everything the same way.. 2-day.. which means 2-5 buisness days technically... you cant pay more.. you cant pay less.. and sprint, nor you, can change the saturday delivery thing..

if you dont get it from a store, your gonna be online all the weekend reading about all of us playing with the phones... your gonna hate it.. and youlll wonder whhy you just didnt get it at a retail store..

Yes I know Fedex > UPS...with fedex I have things that were suppose to be delivered Monday and they brought it Saturday..UPS is just jerks >.>

Thanks for the responses guys.. Yeh I know, if I don't get it in the store then I will be online all weekend reading about how everybody loves theirs b/c they got it in store. lol But b/c I'm moving from a SERO plan to a regular plan, Best Buy can't touch my plan.

While this thread may be about whether or not Sprint will provide Saturday delivery for of the EVO, the heart of the conversation is Sprint and their weekend delivery policies. Therefore I have moved it to the Carrier Discussion forum and I even added Sprinnt to the title.

I believe the phone actually ships a day early, ie, 3rd of June and will begin arriving on the 4th.

ups and fedex express are mon-fri (both deliver on saturday, but thats $10 i think and companies can block that add on option) now fedex home delivery (there ground to a residence is Tues-Sat. I've known people who have shipped 3day, and it will take 3 days when ground would actually have been there next day (now that makes no sence to me at all)

Ok but it did come on time no? If you are 3 day shipping it depends on how full the truck/plane is..if there is space available they will ship it and you get it next day..if not it won't..don't forget they try to optimize it.

But it is more silly when its the carriers fault they missed Thursday and Friday and can't deliver it Saturday? I mean wth...
