Your situation is a tricky one. You can submit the application on the same day (14th) as when your 90 days is complete. However, you obviously will not be able to order for statements on time.
My advice would be to find out from your bank if they can print out statements for you, on a letterheaded paper, from a branch (you can visit multiple branches if one says they don't), and after printing out if they can stamp said statement. You should do this as soon as possible so you know if they offer this service, I have heard some banks can be difficult with putting their stamps on these printed statements.
Once you get this information, you get all required documents for your application ready (minus the statement, of course). On the 14th, head to the bank branch as soon as they open (9am, I believe) and get the required statements that show you have held the balance for 90 days. Remember, your statement should show your closing balance on the 14th. If you are not sure if it will (some banks do not show the statement's closing balance on the day it's printed), simply make a deposit into the account before you get the bank to print your statement.
When you get this statement, stamped and on the bank's letterheaded paper, get yourself to the post office and send your application to the home office. MAKE SURE THIS POST IS SENT RECORDED, AND YOU KEEP THE RECEIPT. DO NOT LOSE THAT RECEIPT.
If you are able to do this, you should be fine.
Cheers.
