The delivery has to be signed for, so you might have to reschedule it or arrange to pick it up at a local facility.

UPS will post an "attempted delivery" notice that will give you the options available... they're not going to send it back immediately.

Yeah I know but if they post attempted delivery and I change it to nearby UPS pickup right after will I be able to pick it up early on Friday?

That's a pretty specific question that depends on a lot of local variables. While I would guess, based solely on my experience, that you would be able to pick it up the next day (assuming the truck is coming from the same location) the only way to have any real idea is to contact UPS directly.

My experience is that the delivery date is the accurate model, with the updates being unreliable in some cases.
