LIFO (Last In First Out). Makes sense if you think about stacking pallet after pallet in a warehouse. You're going to load the items in front into the first plane.

Unfortunately, true. I've also thought of this. Still hoping they will get on one of the two planes leaving Shanghai this morning that have been delayed.
 
I set an alarm for 3 AM last Friday to order my phone and watch. Dismissed the alarm and woke up in a panic at 3:18. Ordered the phone first (9/21 delivery), ordered the watch next (9/21 delivery), then ordered a phone case (9/19 delivery). Upon reviewing my order, I realized I ordered aluminum LTE instead of stainless steel. Went to order SS with white sport band (delivery slipped and no in-store pickup), tried the Milanese loop (delivery had slipped BUT I could get in-store pickup on 9/21 at 9 AM). So while I await delivery, I'll be at the Apple Store down the street picking up my watch.

I love hearing stories like this. Pre-ordering can be so stressful but it's nice when happy accidents happen and things end up working out anyway. Good luck on navigating Launch Day!
 
Anyone else see this on their UPS app?
When I open each delivery, it still says 9/21 for scheduled date.

Just odd...

Thanks. I've debated on what to do with the "extra" watch I'm getting. I think I'm giving the aluminum to my BF (an upgrade over his OG aluminum), keeping my SS S3 and the new SS (obviously), and selling my S2. I usually wear one watch during the day and one at night.

I'm guessing we'll see some updates this evening. I remember when the Series 0 watches were shipping and they waited almost a day before to move it out of China. They'll wait until the very last moment, unfortunately for us constantly refreshing our respective deliveries app. But I still got my watch on launch day, so no biggie.

I'm guessing this evening move to Anchorage and during the night or tomorrow morning, move to Kentucky for sorting and then to the respective destinations soon after that.

The UPS tracking system is a mess right now... they experienced systemwide outages in the tracking and it has yet to catch up. According to my tracking my phone has been flying for over 24 hours.....
