they aren't having issues. this is the leading company, you seriously sit there and believe the watch put apple in a unforeseen jam? you're silly...

just because your watch might not be delivering/trackable yet, doesn't mean apple's having issues.....there are 3million orders, someone's bound to get caught in the late batches....just chill with the i want it now mentality

I'm thinking maybe FedEx will be delivering our :apple:Watches in SoCal. Not sure, just have a hunch. We'll see...

I hope you are right cause I always get better service with FedEx here. However, all my other Apple deliveries have been thru UPS. At least they don't usually crush my Apple packages like they do other deliveries. They must fear Apple. :apple:

But the key is knowing what your CITY HUB is, if you ship it to just any UPS Store, then it could actually make it longer until you get your watch depending on how far away that store is from your original address, so I don't recommend this process without,

1. Knowing for sure when you watch is in the air torward your city!
2. Knowing the HUB location for truck loading in your city
3. Weighing the possibility that the HUB location may be closed by the time your watch arrives to it location, for example our OKC HUB receives shipments 24/7 from the airport and freight, however to go inside and do business they are only open from 8am-8pm so if it looks like my watch won't make it into the HUB until 6 or 7 pm I might just want to hold off because the time it takes to process the request and pull it out of it pre arranged grouping might take longer then getting it delivered at my house at 8am when their trucks leave at 6am

So it's a lot about knowing your city system. Knowing how UPS and mailing systems work, and trying to manipulate it in your favor! If you are at all in doubt that you might end up with a later date then original because of what ever reason be it location or time, don't use this method! But if your like me, super impatient and smart enough to manipulate the system like I do with all my shipments....lol.... then go for it!

UPS has now added new info to my tracking order. Says the package is from APPLE LO35 NPI RESI
MOUNT JULIET, TN, US

Pretty sure it will go out tomorrow and shouldn't have any issues getting to Texas.

I still think it's a win-win. UPS said they would have my watch delivered Friday from 10:30 - 2:30 PM. I know my local Customer Center opens at 9 AM, so I just told them to hold it. I may not get it on 4/23, but I should be able to get it as early as possible on 4/24.

More power to you, for that example I used a 8am delivery time however I know as a matter of fact my UPS delivery time is between 12pm-4pm and being that I have plans all day for my birthday, I'd rather manipulate the system to get it late Thursday night or early Friday morning on the off chance that they don't leave it in our apartment office like that have done in the past making me go another day without! lol:cool:

Or maybe just call the national line and ask and have them give you the local number someone there will tell you the process and ask what the best time to come pick it up. Thats what Im gonna do..I have no choice but to pick it up in the morning. I have to go out of town.
 
Great, I really want to go Friday to pick it up at the UPS center near me since they never get to my house until late afternoon (it's almost 30 min. away and I'm pretty sure my house is near the end of the daily route) - but I'm also scared that with one wrong move I'll change the date I'm supposed to get my watch. :(

Right, in your situation either way it's a win win!

Gentlemen with my luck they'll loose the bloody watch, and our Toronto UPS workers aren't the smartest to begin with. I'm probably better off calming my nerves with beer and poutine as I wait. :D
