My watch is still preparing to ship as well. I have Friday 9/22 delivery. Crossing my fingers I get tracking info tonight or latest tomorrow.
Got a tip for us?

Spot on - I know one year UPS didn't deliver an iPhone on launch day because the driver decided to call it a day.
Status was "undeliverable - no recipient" when in reality the UPS driver never made it to the house.
Yeah, they took a photo of the footwell of the cab rather than the door. Called DPD to ask what happened, they agreed the photo was garbage and tried to rearrange for early delivery next day. That's when I discovered that Apple's contract with DPD prevents "early delivery" - even after launch day (it was going to be the Saturday of course by then). Agent was really apologetic and said it wouldn't let them and so it'd have to be on a standard delivery van that day. Think it arrived soon after lunch anyway.
You got delivery the next day which was great, but mine got rescheduled from Friday (launch day) for delivery on Monday since UPS didn't deliver on Saturday or Sunday...
I got so irritated, I ended up ordering the phone and having the local Apple store UBER delivered on launch evening for $9 more.
Returned the delivery the following week on their dime and left a vile note in the opened phone.
Ouch sorry
. That's a weekend of waiting after all the waiting hype I think would drive me mad Was hoping to order from Apple UK but looks like they don’t have pick up as a choice are they likely to have stock as pickup on Friday? Wanted to do trade in which is why I didnt pre order
Yes, have seen some orders get pushed up in delivery dates.
Check out the iPhone 15 subforums - there are lots of people that are getting theirs earlier than first ordered.
I suspect we will see tracking info in UPS show up later today or overnight.
No updates from over here yet. Keep refreshing UPS MyChoice but nothing's still popped up.
Edit: My tracking just popped up! Label created at 11:34 am. 1.20lbs. It's coming from TN to NOLA

Here we go! Lebanon, TN it will be! The watch box must be 1.20 lbs. I'm also getting 2 boxes @ 0.5 lbs - must be the extra bands I ordered. Apple Store still says "preparing to ship."

I'm in TN, and my watch is coming from a neighboring city accoding to UPS My Choice. It says Next Day Air Saver, estimated delivery Friday by 7 pm.
Where are you located? My watch is coming from Lebanon, too. I'm in Smyrna TN
Oh, I was thinking we might be neighbors, but I'd say that's quite a distance from me! It surprised me to see Lebanon, TN as the shipping location. I didn't know that Apple had a facility here. The things you learn while waiting for your watch.
It is interesting where the warehouses are located and what territory they serve. We know that one person in New Orleans has a watch coming from Lebanon, TN too, so they're covering a wide swath of the middle US, it seems.Oh, I was thinking we might be neighbors, but I'd say that's quite a distance from me!

So, we could get into the nitty gritty details of UPS ops and try to find UPS flights. Presumably they'd be coming out of Nashville from the Lebanon, TN location? Hmmm. Have to hit Flight Tracker and see what it says.
And. . . . No flights show up for UPS from Nashville (BNA) to MSP in the next 3 days. Hmmm.

I checked it. No nearby flights to SDF via UPS. My guess is they’ll hop in truck up to Louisville?
They could do that -- or ship via another airline from BNA. This will be interesting!
Edit: They must be going by truck to Louisville. Nothing else makes sense.

Ironically no flights at all scheduled with any airline to Louisville from Nashville today or tomorrow.
