Series 4 Pre-order thread

Has anybody changed the delivery on their Apple Watch before? I have my shipping information in my UPS account, but typically UPS doesn't get to my house until later in the day and I'll already be gone. So I'm looking to have it delivered to my local UPS for pickup. I'm assuming I should have it go to a Customer Center and not just a store, but I'm curious to know if I change it now will I be able to pick it up Friday morning. I've never done this before lol :) thanks in advance!

I called the 800 number. This also ensures that the correct CC is used. I'm picking up both my S4 and iPhone XS Max 0.5TB on Friday morning from my nearest CC.

p.s. I called and changed it as soon as a UPS tracking number was created and before it boarded any airplane. I can't say if this will work for something already in transit.

You should be able to pick up Friday morning at the customer center, but that's probably not true about a UPS Store. They deliver all times of day to the UPS Store depending on where it is on the drivers route.

Only change it to the main hub (CC) in your area if you want it that day. Picking a UPS store or other location will delay it one business day.

Thank you all for your assistance. I made the change, twice accidentally. My Delivery Change Requested now says Hold for Pickup and when I changed it it did say it would be available Friday woot!

When I picked my local store it said it would deliver on Monday the 24th. When it’s in the US I’ll see about picking it up at the hub of possible

I was able to secure a SS 44 with Milanese loop right when the S4 was up for pre-order.

I selected to pick up my watch at an Apple store on launch day with a specific time window.

My order still says its being processed. Should I be concerned?

If you are looking at your order status on the Apple website, like mine, it still says preparing to ship but using the UPS trick, it just left Shanghai a little while ago, headed to Alaska...

For those of you who are holding for pickup at the CC, how did you make this change? Under the delivery change options, I only have the option to have the item delivered to a UPS location(stores only, CC not listed), but not to hold for pickup.
 
Does anyone have a September 24-27th delivery window? I haven't seen anyone with it, and am wondering when I'll start seeing movement (mine is still processing, purchased at 3:08 EST). Delivery to Toronto, Ontario.

If you do the UPS tracking by reference, and use your Apple order #, but remove the last two numbers, you can see at least if it's been turned over to UPS...Label created, etc...If you try it and have nothing, then you still have a little wait...

Call the CC. I was able to change mine last year on the app, but then I called to make sure it went through.

It’s sitting in Sydney. They use overnight express. It will get shipped out tomorrow evening straight to the airport of your city and into vans for distribution Friday morning.

Yeah it’s road transport to here, but it’s almost always been delivered by 9am as Toll usually deliver to houses before businesses.

Be nice to track anyway as I’m heading away for the weekend lol
 
Departed Shanghai, passing Russia. Do we need fighter escort into Anchorage?

Update: Pilots reported unidentified fighter jets with Samsung markings.

What difference does it really make?

There is a lot of nervous energy being spent on here (yeah I am here too). But been through this enough with other Applie releases. Apple’s estimated delivery dates are generally very solid. Only once did I have a one day delay. Apple has more info than UPS is sharing. Many of the “still in Shanghai” people I bet your stuff is in transit and they are moving under a bulk (i.e. pallet) shipping number. Internally UPS knows where it is but the tracking details are not posted.

Mine is still “Preparing to ship” but still shows on Apple site for delivery Friday. I am confident they are moving but we won’t see tracking info until it clears Canada Customs. Once it finally shows up, then all the past scans will show. It has happpened before.

How dare you respond with logic and reason.
