Delivery with Setup

Does anyone have experience with Apple Watch Delivery with Setup? Not sure if it's a 3rd party or Apple Employee. There is a courier option so I think it's Apple Employee, but not sure. It's FREE but not sure what to expect, if anything.

What county are you in?
who are you buying from?

in the US I've never seen that option, Apple will deliver it via fedex/ups, and then you arrange an online one-on-one with someone to walk you through setup.
if your'e in a major metro area, they do offer same day delivery, it's $9 with a courier. But they just deliver.

Especially in the current situation, NO ONE is going to come into your home for anything that's not absolutely necessary.

it's really not hard to set it up. You turn it on, answer a couple questions, and I think a message box pops up on your phone, you confirm there, and then point the phones camera at the watch screen. It all happens pretty seamlessly.


The one thing I highly suggest, in settings (either on the watch, or in the app on the phone) go to app view, and set it to list.
That will put your watch's apps in a alphabetical list, as opposed to the "app cloud" that's a bit awkward to arrange and to find things in.

Thanks. I am in USA. I just saw that option and wanted to see if anyone had experience with this. I ended up just going to the store and booking an appointment. It seemed like the visit was like a get to know your Apple Watch kind of deal but I wasn't sure.
