I rerouted each of my Apple Watches to my local UPS Customer Care Center for exactly the same reason. I didn't have the time to sit at home and wait all day to sign for the packages. It was much easier to drive to the UPS Center and pick it up there. Another advantage was that I was able to get them BEFORE I would have received them at home as the UPS drivers tend to come through my neighborhood in the evenings. UPS MyChoice allowed me to pick them up in the MORNING of the same days that they were scheduled to be delivered.
Received the Apple Watch on 5/30 and I had to return it due to being defective as it was frozen from the language screen. I sent back the defective watch to Apple on 6/1 and was received on 6/3; the estimated delivery date for the replacement watch was 6/15 - 6/18 but they have shipped it today 6/5! Getting the new replacement watch on 6/8!
Presuming that you are in the US, sign up for the free UPS MyChoce service on their website. You do NOT have to sign up for the Premiun paid service unless you want to use the premium features.
Next sign in and enter your UPS tracking number to associate it with your account. Now there will be some choices on the tracking info page including "Change Delivery". Select that option and choose the "Pickup package at UPS Location". Now you will have a list of options sorted by distance to your home including UPS Stores and UPS Customer Centers. Pick whichever you want. I chose the UPS Customer Center because it is the distribution plant though which all of the local packages get sorted and processed before loading onto the trucks. So it would stand to reason that the package would be identified and held the earliest there for me to pickup. It was a little farther for me to drive but well worth the time as I was able to pickup my package first thing in the morning.
Thanks! Seems to work with my work so I'll have to adjust it when Preparing for shipping happens!

My April 19th order of a 42mm SS Medium Black Leather Loop that had an original "June" delivery date just arrived! Really appreciated the info in this thread and it was very therapeutic and fun sharing the pain of this launch. Continued patience to everyone still waiting. Looks like it won't be too much longer for everyone who preordered early.
You could also just call UPS and ask them to switch it to hold it at their CC / Hub. Fair warning - you don't want to leave it at a UPS Store if you can avoid it - that adds additional delay as the drop-offs to stores are done at the end of the business day.
It's here. And my Pebble knows...

Since it's still Processing, I changed the shipping address to my home.
Just went to PFS! I have a UPS Customer Center right by mew! I'm going to have them hold it the moment i get a tracking number!
Thanks guys!
Glad to hear that it worked out and that your watch is on the way!
It's funny, I went to my local UPS Customer Center today to pick up my third Watch in as many days. The woman at the counter recognized me as soon as I walked through the door and laughed. She already knew what was in the package and asked if I had bought them as gifts. I told her that I would be back on Monday to pick up the fourth one!
Is there anybody here who is sitting on a Preorder weekend order (April 10 - 12) still in processing?
I ordered on April 10 a 42mm Milanese Band (band only) which mid May went from the generic June date to 22 to 29 June. In between in had been charged once and credited 5 days later. No other movements or updates.

If you live nearby an Apple Store you may want to call to see if they have some in stock. There are reports that the Milanese (band only) is available now at select retail stores.
SS BCB arrived yesterday...ordered May 15.
SS BLL scheduled for Monday...ordered May 12.
I also ordered a BLL separately...and that's on the BSB that I'll be keeping.
Came back home from running errands to see that my watch has shipped!!! Did the exact same thing and logged on to mychoice ups and had it held at my ups facility for pickup which is like 10 mins from my house. Feel safer doing it this way as I work first shift but my hours vary from time to time and didn't want to miss delivery.
