Both of mine are still in China as of 9/16 at 3:00am and still no movement. I would hope to see something today.
 
I'm not confident in Apple or UPS about updating their systems. I also ordered a watch band on Saturday that's supposed to be delivered this Friday and it's not even in the UPS system yet. Today will be three days that it's been preparing for shipment.

Would carrier preorders set to deliver on launch day be likely to ship the same route and carrier as if ordered through Apple?

Every accessory I have ever ordered from Apple has come FedEx.
 
On Apples site you will see it as Preparing to ship until the day before. Mine still shows it as that on the Apple Store App but its actually sitting at UPS in China lol

Mine is 4:46am Origin Scan :)
How do you check other than the Apple Store App?
 
I'm always sad that being an in-store pickup person, I don't get to participate in the UPS tracking madness that happens every year. I still keep up with the thread, I just don't get to pitch in. :(

The case I ordered last week came from UPS. In the past, accessories have been from FedEx. Launch phones themselves have been UPS for the last several years at least.

Same. I have both iPad Pro Max and AW5 coming to the store on Friday.

I find that accessories typically come by FED EX and not UPS when I have ordered bands, etc.

If you have the UPS APP and signed up for the free My Choice then anytime something that has your address is scanned into the UPS system you will automatically see it on the app (Thats how I saw over the weekend the label was created and the origin scan) or you can go to the UPS website and track by reference and put in your phone number.
 
One year my static’s didn’t update until the last moment. You’ll be fine
