That's what I think. In the past, people were told their shipping is upgraded, and the rep may even "process" it, but the actual delivery never changed. But I guess we'll see.
Got a tip for us?

There is no express shipping with pre-orders. @frumpy16 and @Rafterman are correct.
What exactly is express shipping? I see that some got express shipping, and, some for standard shipping.
I got express shipping because I didn’t like standard shipping word. OCD kicked in 😂
All Ti are cellular.
ETA: My reply was from the Department of Redundancy Department, haha!!
It does. Not keen on any other colours through. Might change it to this combo…

When Apple does a pre-order (as opposed to a regular product being pulled from inventory at a warehouse), pre-orders come right from the assembly line to shipping. It's a very tight and specific chain. Having different shipping methods would not be very efficient for this process.
Do you guys getting SS and Ti mostly use the cellular function? I already have a s6 gold SS with a cellular connection so just couldn’t bring myself to shelling out an extra $5-600 CAD for the SS or Titanium. Some of those SS and titanium combos do look deadly though.
Really wish they had a wifi only SS or Ti that was a few bucks cheaper.

Mine now says express
So, no, not a wrong information. You cannot upgrade yourself though, only through chat .
Is anyones band unavailable now? i went for one of the older bands that were on the studio that I really wanted to get last month but thought I’d wait for the 6 and now you can’t get it with the series 7 (Cyprus Green sports band, looks darker than clover which I prefer)
I have three orders. Two say "Standard" and one says "Express". The launch day order is "Standard". It's all mumbo jumbo and doesn't really translate into a benefit from prior experience. I think someone was just trying to make you feel like you were getting special treatment.Mine now says express
I went for a food run, and forgot my phone. But my lady calls to update the order, and I got the call on my watch, which I was wearing.
An obscure but practical use of a cellular watch
That’s not correct (Just to clarify 17th is first delivery day here ….. Friday is weekend)
Mine now says express
I've had launch day orders say "express" while others said "standard" (I didn't ask for express or select it). I still got my on laucnh day, no earlier. When planes leave China, or whereever, there are no special "expedited" planes. All the phones, watches and whatever leave on the same plane, and in the case of the US, fly to Anchorage, then to the distribution center, Louisville or Memphis. No one jumps that order.
Just saying...don't be shocked if your order doesn't get to you any faster.
Or you can think of it as a free addition for SS and Ti models. So instead of having to pay extra for cellular like the aluminum models, you get it for free for the same price you would otherwise pay for a non-cellular SS and Ti. ?
No offense (which means I'm about to offend), but that doesn't mean crap what it says there.
Saying express is nothing but Apple speak. It really doesn't mean express.
May well be Apple Speak ….. but just clarifying as you said no such thing.
You mean express ? Or the date ? TBH I don’t care what it says as long as it’s delivered on the date quoted.
I stand by what I said regardless of what Apple shows on someone's order.
