Are you able to see the shipments in your UPS app? I’ve tried all the tricks and nothing has popped for me yet.
Yup. Ups says Friday now but the email from ups definitely says tomorrow.
Yes, Apple.I guess it could be my trade in boxes ha
UPS would be in big trouble if they delivered tomorrow. They have an ironclad agreement with Apple, with huge penalties for delivering early. From time to time, people will get emails that their Apple product will seemingly get delivered early, but in reality, it won't until release day. I have seen Apple shipments sit at a local UPS hub for several days until release day.
well, your watches would be the first ones from posters here, so yea, might be your trade-ins ;(
Given that no-one has posted any shipments from China as of this time, I think it is clear now that watches at least for the US are already here and hence will be shipped from US locations ...
For sure. It does happen though. I received a phone and watch before launch day few years ago. It’s definitely more unlikely now.
What’s odd is that if it’s trade in box then why does my UPS say it’s coming from China ha
can you post a screenshot of that please? sorry, but one post of yours says an email said delivery tomorrow, and now you're saying from China ...
Can you look at delivery details, and see the weight of the shipment? This may help determine if it's the actual watch, or a trade-in box.
i did not order from apple direct but did order from tmo on friday. had a great promo.
anyway ive got shipping info for the watch already. its in indiana. its 2 day express shipping (free option) and im in LA. i suspect ill get it thursday but will see.
as for shipping early - i got that same message from ups sunday morning that i would have it today but the ups app shows friday as it should.

UPS MyChoice just populated with my watch order. It is coming from Indiana.
Please can we see screenshots. I have no info on my watch on ups my choice. I do have on the iPhone
i have two emails like this (two watches). Both weights are .4kgs.
When i log into UPS i see
we ordered two iphones and two watches. My guess it the trade in boxes (4) show up tomorrow (Tuesday) and actual devices show up Friday. I doubt i get devices tomorrow but i do have tracking stuff when i log in. Looks like one giant order, so not sure why i got two emails for tomorrow delivery. My guess is the phones come from china and the watches are stateside and nearby for delivery.
I can’t imagine that would be helpful for a lot of people who have arranged to be at home on Friday specifically for delivery. I’ve arranged to work from home and I’d be a bit miffed if there was a delivery attempt before Friday.
I'd like to think UPS facilities have a separate extra-secure area where they house Apple pre-order inventory that the average UPS employee cannot just walk into and access until the delivery date (September 22).
I think devices arrive friday and get held once nearby. If anything from that shipment shows up tomorrow its likely trade in boxes, but not sure why it has two packages at .4 kgs each
Thanks, are you getting 2 or 4 packages in the China shipment? My guess at this point is that the phones are coming from there, not the watches
technically 6 reference numbers on the UPS log in coming from China totaling .4 kgs. super confusing. Who knows. i bet everything arrives Friday and the email isn't accurate.
For UK, no chance. AFAIK they only allocate the tracking codes on Thursday. In fact, if it's DHL, you'll get tracking info Thursday afternoon that will then say isn't valid initially, before it starts to work late evening. DPD slightly different I believe.
Apple are really strict on this stuff - so much so that for most DPD deliveries, you can have them changed etc etc (pay for early delivery and so on) but for apple, they're blocked from being able to do so.
When my device last year was "missed" by the delivery driver (they clearly ran out of time, and took a photo of a black surface and wrote "attempted delivery"), and I phoned to say "huh?", the operator said it was obvious what they'd done, apologised profusely and said he'd upgrade it for early delivery next day (the Saturday) then apologised and said he wasn't allowed to, special delivery rules on the package meant it can only be standard delivery.
New shipment for the watch just populated under my UPS account. Woohoo, glad both the phone and watch are gonna come at the same time.
