4-6weeks (Deliever May 13 - May 27th) pre-orders

[Hart1583]

My credit card has been charged for 30+ hours. Yet no movement on my order. Still processing. Can still edit and cancel.
Getting very impatient

Will be going on 48 hours of my CC being charged and it's still processing on the apple order screen. Apple chat says "the status should change within 72 hours".
Everyone who gets charged gets changed to preparing for shipment rather quickly. GRRRRRR

There was a batch of SG sports that had a wave of charging cards (mine included). I was charged 4 hours ago with no change. Maybe soon?

I got 42mm SG sport

 

[Xytal]

Sounds like I might have some hope tomorrow!

Email received at xx:05:48 am PDT. Still processing right now, but seeing the other :05's starting to get charged, I'm hoping something may happen tomorrow!

Would really love to wear my watch to Age of Ultron. ^_^

/pray

My CC was authorized last night (42mm, SG). I am in the South Bay, Bay Area, CA. Confirmation email at 12:05:39, no movement so far, no UPS, Still Processing. No EOD, just overall a great experience. I hope to get it soon by this weekend or early next week but we shall see. It is what day 5 of orders going out. Keep the faith everyone, we will have our watches soon enough.

Thank god I'm not the only one. Charged 24 hours ago but still processing. Definitely got my hopes up that I'd get my watch today. 42 SGS.

phone calls to apple

I've been following this forum since about the time it started.

I had to register and put up here how I think it's real funny when there's people calling Apple about how they're unhappy about not getting their watch on the 24th, or how other people got their's first, or how this "rollout was the worst one ever," or even how Apple is somehow going to have a representative on the other line that has some shiny magic button to push yours ahead because clearly YOU deserve it. lol

Just an FYI, Apple(care) doesn't know anymore than we do. All Apple employees are on a need-to-know basis, based on their role at Apple. They have very limited access to information, and even less access than you, the customer does in most cases. And on a side note - There's probably about 50,000 Apple Employees all over the world that are still waiting for their Apple Watches to come in the mail so they can have one in hand for when you call in and need to know how to use it. So be patient.

it's driving me crazy too, I get it, but damn guys, Apple didn't do anything wrong. They just created an awesome product that they're still making and getting it in the hands of everyone they can, as fast as they can. So be patient, kay?

p.s. I ordered a 42mm Milanese, right about 3:30a EST. I'm not sure how you all are getting minutes and seconds for confirmations here, because email servers would probably play a part in those (which would make time stamps off), and obviously we know by now they aren't shipping watches based on what time you ordered. It seems like they're just trying to fill orders as fast as they can.

ordered a 38mm white sport, btw and got it on the 24th. Probably ordered that one about 3:45a (EST)

 

[knemonic]

Apple just charged my cc and change my order to preparing for shipment on my 42 ss with melenise today. I ordered Friday morning but originally had placed my order for a space grey sport 4 min after preordering started, so I'm not sure if order changing status has anything to do with when I originally placed my order.

On my order I also have a 38 space grey sport for my gf that hasn't changed btw, still says processing item.

 

[omgsrsly]

Totally thought this was satire, but now I'm not too sure.

Hey dude, since you are in school I'd highly recommend a basic economics course where you can learn about supply and demand.[COLOR=

Yes. I understand. But this apple we are talkin about. They knew they were going to get a lot of pre-orders.

For example; you have an exam in 1 week but you start studying one day before the exam?

Do you understand where im going and what im trying to say?[/QUOTE]

Unless you know exactly how many watch components Apple ordered, in what combinations they were ordered, how many components were delivered to production, how many were produced, how many passed quality assurance, how many they expected to be delivered to them, how many were actually delivered, whether or not their were issues in the supply chain, whether or not there were issues in the shipping, whether or not any of those issues were foreseeable, how many were pre-ordered, when they were pre-ordered, where they pre-ordered, how many they expected to be pre-ordered, when they expected them to be pre-ordered, and where they expected them to be pre-ordered, you do no have enough information to say "why didn't Apple just do X, Y, or Z." You have no idea what they did or didn't do and a few hundred (AT BEST) anonymous reports on a web form (which by the way would represent somewhere in the vicinity of .00005% of overall orders) is not enough to tell you ****.

You chose to stay up late to order it, despite no one guaranteeing you that you would get the model you wanted by today. You had a choice to not buy the watch or buy a different model when you saw the ship date. You staying up increased the likelihood of you getting what you wanted faster then someone who didn't, but that is it (which BTW is why I did not stay up). If you expected something other then what Apple promised you then thats entirely on you. If they had supplied the stores, it would have meant far fewer people who pre-ordered would be getting watches today, and that each model would have been in such short supply at the store that it would have been tough to get the one you wanted.

We simply don't know enough to make judgements here.

Lucky you!! Maybe I'll be next...

 

[omgsrsly]

I have. West coast buyer had June for 38mm wsb sport and it was shipped before someone who preordered at :04

Oh yeah?

First, given this is a completely anonymous web forum it is important to take anything you read with a grain of salt. I'd be curious to know if we saw photos of each confirmation? Were they clearly unaltered? Etc, etc.

Second, even if it we were to assume that is was true, it would not be enough information to determine if there was a larger trend. All it would tell us is that there was a mistake in the shipping of 1 out of an estimate 2,000,000 preorders.

This is the latest time I have seen for 42 SG, I am waiting on the same watch XX:14. Seems like there is no way to tell how long it could be. Im in the middle of final exams at the moment, and at this point I think it would be less distracting if I had the darn thing instead of trolling these forums 24/7.

[Micool1]

Have a new pending charge on my card since last night. At first I thought it was my watch but it's a charge of 0.00$ for DAI*www.cbsstore.com... I don't even know what that is #

I think a lot of the anger is stemming from the disorganization, not necessarily the April 24th ship date. It's very frustrating to see people ordering later than you and receiving their watches. In some cases, it's the exact same model.

In the beginning, we had hope: Preorder on April 10th, get your watch April 24th. Within minutes, we had those hopes dashed. Then, suddenly, a large number of people are about to be shipped their watch on 24th, even though they're slated for as far as June. "Oh, I'm 4-6 weeks! I must be getting mine early, too!" April 24th comes and goes, and most of us are still without the watch.

This up and down has a lot of us frustrated and completely unable to predict when our watches are coming. Granted, some of our comments are a little over the top, but you have to understand our frustration.

 

[JCoe13]

I contacted support and they said that credit cards get charged when they leave the factories in China.

 

[Pbrutto]

I am frustrated because this is the first launch I "missed" because I ordered 12 minutes late, and I got the dreaded leather loop. But that isn't necessarily apples fault. I am more frustrated that people are getting their much later orders before me. That is apples fault.....but only sort of....why? Let's think, two days before the launch they say "hey Apple fans!" We aren't going to have this this and this on launch day. What would we do? All order the ones that are aviable and then get bands later. But then what would happen? Well the ship dates would be December for those models. Then what does Apple do? What if they want launch Apple watch 2 in March? Then the fill preorders finally in December, everybody gets ones for Christmas and three months later we all lose our minds because we have had our watches for only a few months before a refresh? The only solution to this problem would have been to have more watches ready for launch, but we will never know why they weren't ready....so is the lack of communication a bummer? Yes! But it's Apple and we all know how they feel about letting us know what's up. I still won't be mad till may 27th if I don't have the one I ordered.....but we are allowed to be perturbed, but be reasonable...most of us hit pay when it said 4-6....

Not sure how this is possible. My card got charged yesterday (04/27) at 10:36PM. However, my UPS tracking states:

04/26/2015 12:18 PM Origin Scan

In other words, my card was charged after UPS showed the package in the U.S. I think we've all learned by reading all of these comments that Apple Support generally doesn't have accurate answers on matters like this.

Lol I guess so. Was the charge pending or fully went through yesterday?
