I did. I ordered mine about 20 minutes after pre orders went live. 44MM aluminum black sports band and it's already charged and UPS tracking under mychoice with 2nd day air.
Got a tip for us?

Yes. Was charged on sunday morning. I have tracking info. 44mm space gray GPS/LTE version. Ordered at 12am 9/14.
Same on the charge and tracking also! 44mm Space Gray Watch
How can I have it changed to be picked up at my local UPS center?
Has Tmobile provided any tracking numbers as of yet? I know most have been using UPS MyChoice to get it. But has Tmobile listed the tracking at all?
Nothing so far, all have been UPS MyChoice. I'm assuming they won't until the phone actually leaves their possession.
Nope. Probably won't get those until it's in UPS hands, and we see movement start happening.
I have not gotten any tracking info from them. Once they turn the devices over to UPS they usually will text you with tracking info. That's how they've done it in the past. UPS has tracking info because shipping labels have been created. They don’t have the package until you see an origin scan.
Yep, I see this often with eBay sellers. They will generate a usps tracking label, which tells eBay it's shipped. But they won't actually drop it off for another 4 days, Annoying as hell.
Anyone with 9/21 date will or should have it at launch. I cannot wait, This year seems bigger than last year.
Aww shucks you're right! Forgot about that lol Well I changed the delivery instructions to front door. I've looked back at my last two UPS deliveries at they were both at the same time, 4:13pm so hopefully that will be the case for my phone since I definitely should be home from work before then this Friday.
Because they can't guarantee delivery on the same date a phone is released to the public. However it will probably be delivered. It happens every year.

Just guessing here but maybe the black Tmobile boxes are a way to let UPS know not to deliver early... I could see early deliveries causing conflict between cell carriers and Apple.
If a signature is required it would be indicated in the UPS information for the shipment.
T-mobile doesn’t normally require a signature. One wasn’t required when my wife received her note 9 last month.
They havent yet. I need to make an adjustment to a business shipping address but cant til they give it to me
I didn't realize there was watch chat happening here. My watch order processed at 1244 with a ship date of 9/21-10/9. Have never ordered anything from T-mo. What's the typical MO for them? My phone is coming from apple, but chose to do EIP with T-mo
UPS my choice is connected to your address, so any packages coming to you will show up as soon as a shipping label is created, even if UPS doesn’t actually have the package yet.
That's crazy, that's what they told me too, but who in their right mind would pay for slower shipping if they could get faster shipping for free?!?!
