Hope they ship it today

Its almost 12 hours after status changed to "Preparing for shipment"
I really hope they ship it today; If they don't I have to wait until monday :confused: , as UPS doesn't deliver on Saturday, :mad:
 
Those of you that were charged today. Has anyone's shipped yet? I was charged around 5amEST. Wondering how long for it to be shipped out. SUPER EXCITED!!:D
Ordered 4/11 12:34pm

I was charged last night around 11:30pm PST, went to prep for shipping shortly after, but no movement since. Really hoping it gets shipped today!
 
I ordered 38mm space gray on Sunday, April 12, and it just "flipped" to "Preparing for Shipment."

Wow, status already changed to "shipped," and tracking is listing it as en route to UPS facility as of 4:05 PM Eastern time!

Here's a question for folks: how long has it generally taken to deliver once the status has changed to "shipped"? Not an idle question-- if it's likely to come tomorrow I have to arrange my schedule.

Thanks for any thoughts!

Usually once it's shipped, it'll be delivered the next day.
 
My order changed from Preparing to Ship to Shipped at 2:55 PM. I have a delivery date of tomorrow (15). My tracking number isn't in the UPS system yet.
 
Update

My order changed from Preparing to Ship to Shipped at 2:55 PM. I have a delivery date of tomorrow (15). My tracking number isn't in the UPS system yet.

Things seem to be moving pretty fast. Mine has already gone from in transit to UPS to being processed into UPS facility. Apple stuff must have a fast track! I'll let the board know how it goes.

Edited 7:22 PM Eastern: Delivery date is tomorrow (15th). Yay!

My card was charged really early this morning and was in Preparing To Ship when I woke up at 6:00am (not sure when it changed to that status). Still sitting in the same state :-(

And just turned to Shipped! Tracking number not pulling up in UPS yet so don't know if it's out for delivery tomorrow or Monday.
 
Ordered April 10th, 8PM PDT
Just got charged overnight, status changed from processing to preparing to ship this morning. 2:30 PM went to shipping and got a text from Apple saying it will deliver tomorrow, Friday the 15th. yes!!

Just received my tracking number 4:10pmest
Arrives 5/15 :) ToMoRRow YAY!
 
Just got my tracking number...

I've never witnessed a sweat like the apple watch shipping sweat. People tracking the flights out of China takes OCD to a whole new level. I'm happy that I was able to benefit from others obsessiveness. :)
 
Update; just got a text at 5:00pm CST from apple that the watches are on their way for delivery tomorrow. Will be able to give my wife her anniversary gift (our anniversary was May 2).

This is after I got the preparing for shipment notice early this morning.

Quick question. It says delivery for tomorrow, did you have next day shipping or something?
 
All shipping is overnight once your watch ships.

Thanks a lot! I was here thinking I was going to have to wait a week after it shipped.

I think a huge shipment is coming tonight. Lots of planes left China last I saw. I'm hoping to get into the 20 dates tonight.
 
At this rate I may need to cancel my 42mm SG order and add an additional 38mm SG order. It really was a toss up between the two as both fit easily. I'd likely get a 38mm SG ordered today before my 42mm SG ordered on the 21st. 1st world problem I guess.
