I opted for in-store pick up with a specific time window and my order shows as "Order Processing"; they better have stock ready to go on launch day!
Got a tip for us?

I can't find any current flights from PVG to ANC (namely at the 11:40 time slot) except for UPS 77, which leaves in 8 hours. I presume that's the one our Watches are on, unless they're doing something unusual and sending them somewhere else other than Anchorage.

I am in the same boat as you for one of my watches. Did you your card get charged yet? Mine got charged?
I am in the sane boat.... still stuck on processing for my ceramic fir shopping to the U.K. I think it will be Monday now
Ah my fellow package tracker nerds, you have not reached full levels of desperation yet to unlock the master challenege: scouring the Shanghai Pudong airport’s int’l cargo departures manifest to find flights that are not listed on FlightAware 
not every single flightplan shows up there. It’s quite possible our phones could be on either one of these “thru” flights that stop in Japan:
The above is in local time. The next two are in EDT since I was logged into it on my phone and I have a setting for it to be EDT for all times. However you will note, that 9a here is 9p there - which lines up with a roughly 5p departure from Shanghai to Japan, then turn in Japan and depart to Anchorage.
We may have seen scans now at 11:40/11:45 because they likely were clearing them from some sort of customs hold. We were the first set of packages to go through - it is possible they couldve gotten held for one reason or another.

Probably had to dodge North Korea missle launches.
Oh ok... no I don't believe the Nike software will transfer to the other watch.
This is what I've done, picked the time during my lunch so I can pop along and pick it up.
It won't delay shipping as long as you pick the UPS distribution center and NOT a local UPS Store. If you pick UPS Store then you will have a delay of a day or two b/c of some logistical thing of actually getting it to that store. I have done the hold at the UPS distribution center for a couple iPhone pre-orders/launches and they've worked great every time!
Is a UPS distrubition center also known as UPS CC (customer center)? I don't see distribution center as an option?
I did find a customer center that allows for pickup on 9/22. If I select that any chance I can pick it up early? or just any time during business hours on the day of 9/22?

Yes. There will be three types to choose: UPS CC, UPS Access Point, and UPS Store. The CC is a distribution center and often will have later hours as a result, and be fewer to choose from
Just found my tracking number using my phone number as reference. My ceramic is in the 2:43 arrival in HK.
When I go to change the delivery, I find a "Customer Center" that allows me to pick it up on 9/22. How would that work? What happens from your experience?
I wonder if they will allow pre-signing. There will be nobody home at a few times on Friday and Murphy's Law says that's when UPS will show up...
They will call you from the center the morning of. Also you can set email and text alerts if you want when it’s ready to be picked up. Once they call you then you can go pick it up anytime they’re open. Just bring ID and you’re out in less than 5 min.
Pretty sure my watch is never leaving China.

Same.

Same for me! Apparently another poster on this thread was also in the same position. So it must be a pick up from store thing? Fingers crossed anyway haha.
