Apple Watch Ultra ordered thread!

Anything else I've ordered from Apple that comes from China is ~48 hours once it gets on the plane in China (I'm on west coast Canada) Usually China -> Korea -> Alaska ->Kentucky -> Then on to your State/Provonce
When you get your tracking history that shows what Chinese city it departed by plane - use FLIGHTAWARE to then track that plane to the destination and keep doing that. If there are no delays, there will usually be a UPS flight leaving ~3-4 hours after the other one lands at that destination airport, and they just keep transferring one after the other.
You can hit a snag if it misses a flight though then that can add up to 12 hours (if there's not room on the earlier flight - and you have to wait overnight from Alaska)
LOL I've been doing this for years... It's fun... But you have to learn how to use flight aware to look at all UPS flights departing and leaving certain airports and connect the dots...
Or not. It will arrive eventually haha!
Your UPS tracking of course will be updated letting you know if it got on the next plane etc...
Fun 🤣

Every time I ordered from Czech Apple Store I get my item one workday earlier that it shows. So I expected deliver on 23rd September
.
Is the gray/blue trail loop really back ordered until November? I put my order in tonight for one but, that is going to be a long and painful wait if so?!?! Does Apple usually ship much sooner on back ordered watch bands?
‘My phone and watch are shipped to my office, a commercial address and I do not think My Choice works.
My 14 PM wore me out with tracking and worrying, I think I am just going to relax and let it happen this Friday.
Complete relaxation for me…the watch and AirPods will get here eventually
My Apple status still says “preparing to ship” for Friday delivery. Nothing in my UPS Choice app.
Yep. My AWU and AirPods arrive on Friday. Just set my 14 Pro Max up and paired to my current watch. All good. Lopoking forward to Friday 🙂
Tracking as well…while I wish I had the Ultra already, getting the 14PM on 09/16, and the Ultra and AirPods Pro next Friday, is a nice way to keep the anticipation going, haha!!
Definitely nice to have back to back weeks. I’m trying to just forget all about the watch and then it’ll just show up and I’ll be like “woo a new toy” 😂
I ordered 2 SS watches the day after they were announced and got an Sept 30-Oct 7th delivery day, but the 44mm watch got updated to Sept 23-30. I'm hoping the 41mm will be upgraded as well, but we are not going to be home on a few days around when the 44mm one will be delivered. Needless to say I don't want the watch sitting out on the front porch. Can I change the delivery to pick up at UPS?
