42 MM SS Milanese June Orders

Same here, shipping from China this time (my original Sport order originated within Canada on my UPS shipping timeline). Build week is 21, these things must be flying out of the factory now. Arrival scheduled for June 4th.
I have been really surprised to see how late the dates are in April and even May and people are getting their watches way quicker. Tim Cook knows his supply line they will have watches done with pre-orders and in stores next month.
Safe travel apple watches!
Wow, just when I thought Apple service could not get any worse...I started a chat online and asked the rep if they could explain why my 42 mm SL ML order, placed April 25, now has the same estimated delivery of 2-3 weeks as a NEW order placed TODAY. And asked if that meant anything for my delivery status. The reply was..."Your delivery date is June 16-22" and--get this-- "DO YOU WANT TO CANCEL YOUR ORDER?" This was after I went on to write..." If you are unable to answer my question, please just say so." To which they replied, "Your delivery date is June 16-22".
I wish I were not so enthusiastic about the product, because otherwise I would cancel and move on.

ML Watch Finally Shipping
Finally is shipping, does anyone know how long it will take to arrive if I got the shipping notification at 11 AM EDT? Email say Delivers on June 3rd, but I'm flying on the 2nd coming back a week later. Watch was ordered on April 12th, coming to Miami, FL

when did you order
----------
Sorry too many comments-people can you please put your order date when yours ships?
I have spoken to Apple about 2-3 times during the waiting process because I was hoping to get new info, but admittedly I was way more respectful to them.
Bottom line: Customer support was given absolutely no information that we couldn't find out from our order status or by Google. They were pretty much lambs to the slaughter when it came to dealing with angry, entitled customers.
Has nothing to do with being unprofessional. There are respectable, hard-working adults on those lines. Don't be a jerk.
Better yet, go try to do it yourself.
My questions were posed in a very straightforward and respectful manner. It was the reply that was snarky. Really all that was need in the way of a reply from customer service was something along the lines of..."I'm sorry, but I can't answer your question" or "the only information I have is the delivery information that appears on the order page that you have already looked at". But not, "Do you want to cancel your order?" or "Do you still want the watch?".
Check where it's coming from by opening package tracking from your email notification about Shipped event. If it's US, then I would expect it to be shipped Monday. If China, then 3rd is probably about right.
I've ordered 6:44 PM on 4/11 and got "Shipped" email last night at close to 5 PM and it said delivers 5/29. Out for delivery today as expected, it was shipping from US.
Considering that 4/13 orders are only just now PFS, I think your optimism will prove to be wrong. You said you expect everyone with April shipments to have their watch in the next week. You said that on a Thursday. Do you really expect all of these April orders which not only haven't shippedbut aren't even preparing for shipment and are still processingto get here by next week? That's pretty crazy. No wonder so many people get upset when they set their expectations so out of line with what Apple is telling them. It's Friday now and I still haven't seen any movement on 4/14 orders. Then there's 4/15, 4/16, 4/17, 4/18, 4/19, 4/20, 4/21, 4/22, 4/23, 4/24, 4/25, 4/26, 4/27, 4/28, 4/29, and 4/30. I know it's ridiculous that I just wrote all of those out but look at them. Look with your special eyes and tell me that all of those dates are going to arrive at people's houses by next week. I'm the optimist by predicting my 4/22 order in the June 8-12th range!
Thank you for your help, this is what i got from the tracking
Scheduled Delivery:
Monday, 06/01/2015, By End of Day

Does that means that they will deliver it to me on Monday? Or that is arriving US on monday?
Are you replying to me? Because you didn't quote me, but it seems like you might be replying to me. First of all you didn't have any of that information to back you up when you made your original claim. Second of all that is one person out of a sea of people on here. The vast majority of comments in the past few days are 4/11 and 4/12 orders PFS.
Don't get me wrong, I hope you're right. I want my watch sooner. But I'm not going to hold my breath. Sometimes people misremember. Sometimes orders go out early in the crazy sea of production and mass transit. But I'll eat my hat if every single April order shows up by next Thursday, lol.
He ordered on 4/20. I ordered on 4/27. Mine will arrive in the next week at that rate.
It means you're getting it Monday, NOT that it's arriving on US soil Monday.
But yes, yours is shipped from China while mine is from US. Not sure why, possibly orders after 4/11 have a chance to be shipped directly from China as I'm pretty sure orders earlier were shipping from dist. centers in US.
Just like any line to something with high demand.. Once Apple clears the early gate crashers and gets them taken care of, the later arrivals can get procesessed quicker and quicker. It took them 45 days to get the first day and a half of 42 ML watches delivered. then in 2 days they ship 2 days worth. No reason to look for any other justification than demand to conclude that the rest of these orders will clear much faster, and Apple will get to real time shipping real soon... Yes it's taken them quite a while to get us through the gate.. But that was quite a mob!!!!. The line is moving now and Apples model will get you yours when it's your turn in line... The conspiracy theories and anger here is really immature and unfounded...
Never mind-I see you're in Canada. WHY are devices going out faster to Canada? That makes no sense.
