So i have never ordered from apple.com for a launch item. I see that apples website is launching the ipad 4 on oct 26. What time has items in the past went live on their US site to order?

Says on this page:

"Pre-order yours starting October 26.
Or buy the Wi-Fi model at your favorite Apple Retail Store at 8:00a.m. on November 2.
Wi-Fi + Cellular models available mid November."

So Pre-orders start on Oct 26.

How does Apple ship UPS, Fed Ex or USPS??

Either Fed Ex or UPS. For me it has always been Fed Ex but it depends on your location. Also it will require a signature on delivery unless you sign a release and leave it at the door.

Everytime, I ordered online it was shipped Fed EX. When you are excited and waiting for an item the mail is slow nomatter what company they use.

Thats my problem, slated to ship 11/23 and my office is closed. BUT once i'm sure of the shipper I will come in and sign for it. I have a daily drop and know both drivers (UPS and Fed Ex) so should not be a problem. Hope shipping for LTE model gets bumped up.
