You should go to the store where you are planning to pick it up from and ask them for the UPS drop off times, I have tried this feature twice and my iPhone is there by noon
In my experience it varies, but it’s usually at a time before the time that they would deliver to residences.
[doublepost=1537139670][/doublepost]Is it just me (maybe I have been out of the loop) but has Verizon always only financed the apple watch for 6 months only? $88 dollars for the apple watch, thats insane. Why dont they financed over 24 months like every other carrier.
The first iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and Apple Watch Series 4 orders placed on the online Apple Store have shifted to "Preparing to Ship" ahead of an expected Friday, September 21 delivery date.
Many orders in the United States, Australia, the UK, and and other countries have changed status and should be shipping out to customers in the near future. Apple Watch Series 4 and iPhone XS orders that have shifted to "Preparing for Shipment" can no longer be modified or canceled.
Apple began accepting pre-orders for the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max on Friday, September 14 at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time. By the time a half hour had passed, many iPhone XS Max models had sold out and were no longer available for launch day delivery.
As of today, new iPhone XS Max orders will not ship out until October, but some models are still available for in-store pickup on September 21 in select stores. Retail stores are also expected to have supplies available for walk-in purchases on launch day.
Supplies of the smaller 5.8-inch iPhone XS are plentiful and that device remains available for Friday delivery.
After orders began shipping, Apple's shipment status information may not be updated right away. Over the course of the next few days, some customers in the United States may be able to track their shipments using track by reference features on the UPS and FedEx websites.
Update: This article has been updated to include the Apple Watch Series 4 as some orders in the United States recently began changing to "Preparing to Ship." Not all Apple Watch Series 4 orders have been updated at this time, while most iPhone XS and XS Max orders are in the preparing to ship phase.

That sucks! I can't justify financing both an iPhone and an Apple Watch. Thats like 160 bucks goodness just in device installments
Yea I financed my x last year. And purchased Apple Watch three in June. I paid off my x in June also. I will keep the x til it dies hopefully. All I care about is the watch. It’s coming Friday.

My Watch is scheduled for delivery this Friday according to UPS. 
I wish the Space Grey was offered with the Blue Horizon sport band. I already have a black sport band from my series 0.
I don’t like the sport loop. Fine for those that do. Just kind of wish Apple would offer a different color with each series.
But...can’t wait til Friday!

Similar to others, I was charged for my watch and iPhone on Friday and received tracking information from the UPS app today.
I totally fell the same way about the size. My iPad Pro is great, but my eye sight isn’t anymore. This is going to be my first upgrade to a plus size screen. Not sure I like the overall size, but being able to read it will be the “plus” .
Brightstar appears to be the company shipping the Apple iPhone cases in the US. I received a separate UPS tracking number for the iPhone Xs Max which is shipping from China.
Did you order accessories? Might be that. Really doubt you’ll get phone/watch before launch day.
I got two tracking numbers.
- One says it is from CGO, CN (which I think is the airport), and I am able to track it via UPS and they say it currently has a departure scan from ZhengZhou, China. My guess is that this is my iPhone.
- The second says it is from SUZHOU, CN and it is still listed as "Order Processed: Ready for UPS". I am guessing this is my watch.
What is really funny is that I also ordered an extra watch charging cable yesterday and it has the status of Shipped with a UPS tracking number and a delivery date of Wednesday. However, UPS is still not showing it in UPS MyChoice and the tracking number simply says Not Found.
