You're not communicating with Apple when you post in the Community. Apple does not participate in these forums. We're all just fellow users, helping out as we have time and knowledge to share. So none of us can change anything in regards to your order.
To my knowledge, Apple cannot schedule specific shipping or delivery dates since they are usually shipping directly from overseas. They pretty much ship when the order is ready and then it's up to the carrier. As sberman said, once you have a tracking number you may be able to work with the carrier to arrange a delivery date, though not all carriers are cooperative. Or perhaps you can change the delivery address to have the device sent to someone who can receive it for you. For order status and changes, see:
