No matter who you reach out to, call, chat, go to the store .. this is what you may expect them to answer or read a script for this model as of today 4/28 ..
1. Ask your order number (make it seem like magical .. he/she may have something new for me)
2. Confirm your Address, etc with you for security purposes (like they are digging into some Eyes only record or something)
3. Read the same thing you have been reading since 4/10 on apple.com/orderstatus. They read to you the obvious.
4. Give you the same instructions that you already know and have been doing tirelessly since 4/10. come back to check on apple.com/orderstatus.
They may also tell you - you'll be notified when the order ships through email and you'll have that tracking number - which you may use to then go to an extent of tracking the flight, the UPS/Fedex Truck Number, where is the watch in the flight and you won't stop until the UPS truck stops outside and then Delivery Guy knocks your door. You'll behave as if you've not even been bothered and not open the door right away - where as we know you'd be counting him to your door .. he knocks in 5,4,3,2,1 .. tck tck tck, you would rather take 2 mins to open to hide the excitement from the Delivery guy !!
5. Ask them about the model, if has been shipped to others - they will tell everyone something that you can never on earth figure .. it must have been shipped to folks who ordered early, however yours waits it's time in the queue. Depends on when you ordered !! which to my knowledge is no one ordered that early to have it by now. Unless you are a Apple product reviewer or columnist - no one from the public has this on their wrists.
6. Then you will wonder - why did I chat, call with Apple .. may be even think of cursing the Apple Rep.
7. Then end up not doing so, because these are bots reading what is given to them.
8. No matter how much you'll crib, they ain't shipping until the day comes. What is right now for you on apple.com/orderstatus .. it is .. accept it or not
It's plain and simple guys - you'll have it soon, no matter if it's a temp charge on your card, letter of death or a letter from Tim Cook or his secretary ... it'll be there sooner or later and you'll be paying for it $999 + AC+ + Taxes .. so wait for it ... it's coming .. I know we ordered an expensive one and even I'm pissed off like anyone that I ordered in like first 3 mins of the pre-orders opening. But take it .. Apple are screwing not just our experience but their reputation a bit so that's why they gave us a broader and longer delivery estimate. So chill and come back on May 12th unless you really are in "Prepared for Shipment" stage now for 42mm SS LB
