I want to cook a Wagyu at our next comp on the 1st and 2nd of Sepetember. My question is how soon should I order my brisket?

Depends whether you want to age it or not. If you want to age it, it's likely coming frozen, in which case you need a few days for it to thaw and then your aging time.
So if it gets delivered on Wednesday and I just put it in the fridge in the garage frozen to let it thaw and just leave it there untill I am ready to trim on the 31st it will be good to go?
I believe SRF briskets are aged a couple of weeks prior to shipping. You may want to check!
They are already aged 21-28 days before shipping. For what its worth.

Customer support told me the same thing. This applies to briskets they directly ship, not to briskets ordered via a distributor. Those they just put on the truck. You can age out to about 55 days, so 3-4 more weeks of aging on a direct shipped brisket is OK.
