No tracking via MyChoice or Apple yet, still Preparing for Shipping. I'm interested in seeing how fast these move to the US from China. Still set for delivery on 9/23.
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 🤣

those who see the ultra shipment in my choice, is their delivery express or standard ?
 
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?
 
If they ship UPS then we will know it through UPS My Choice. Seems like I have gotten a few watches by Fed-Ex but I hope not.

‘My phone and watch are shipped to my office, a commercial address and I do not think My Choice works.

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” 😂
 
If I search by reference I see it but myChoice does not see it, do I need to change preferences on UPS mychoice to not have space in postal code to see it? That doesn’t seem to work either, errrr

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?
