Me too. Glad to see I'm not alone.
I just need the watch to get here before Friday, or I'll have to cancel. This is the final week of my 2-week trial of the 38mm SS BCB (which I'm really enjoying) and I wanted to wear a 42mm watch for a couple of days to see if I like that size better. Fingers crossed.

you can hang onto the 38mm longer, just sell on Swappa or eBay as a used, opened watch. You might even make a little money out of the deal. Also, I assume you've tried on a 42mm at an Apple Store? I know trying it on isn't a replacement for wearing for a few days, but you can at least see how it feels.

I actually haven't tried any on in the store. My nearest Apple store is inside a mall, and I hate malls. :D
I also knew I would never be able to decide within a 15 minute try-on period, so I figured I would order both sizes and return one. I have actually been pleasantly surprised at how usable the 38mm is. No issues at all tapping on the tiny icons.

are you near the Flatirons Crossing one? if not, it's not too bad to get into (I lived in Denver for the last 7 years and just moved to TX).

Glad to hear the 38mm is working out for you. I'd say hang onto it until you get your 42mm and then sell the one you don't want to keep on Swappa or eBay. You might be suprised how much $$ you get for it :)
 
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE A JUNE 22-29 UPDATE: TRY THIS...
Sign into your apple account so you can see your full order details. Then click 'edit shipping notification email' and save it (don't change your email.) That is what I did just before my order switched to June 19-25
 
Congrats to all those with shipping notifications this morning!

I find it crazy that :apple: is still giving such crazy delivery windows when clearly they are exceeding them by weeks, but better to underpromise and overdeliver.

Here's hoping the next wave ships soon (May 2 here!)

Actually, I'm closer to Park Meadows...which has pretty much the worst access of any mall I've ever seen. I used to live north of Denver, so I know what you mean about Flatirons. Much more pleasant experience.
I'll keep the selling thing in mind, although unless you can really make a profit it's sometimes not worth the hassle. The thing is, the 38mm SS watch I have has pretty much nothing wrong with it...no scratches, takes a charge well, good long battery life, no loose buttons, no screen gaps, etc. I'm almost afraid to take any chances on a different model...but we'll see.
 
Ordered this model on 4/27. Initially was June and then placed in the 6/22-6/29 batch. Card charged this morning and now preparing for shipment! Located in the great Pacific Northwest.
 
I'm guessing that's it for shipping updates today. UPS77 is on its way to AK right now, so after its contents get distributed to the hubs tonight we'll probably see more good news tomorrow. Just sayin'.
;)

If this is true then maybe the 42mm I ordered on 4/28 will be shipping soon.

oh yeah, park meadows and cherry creek are nightmares :)

glad you got a good one! Good luck!
 
Any other April 30 folks have their orders change today to "preparing for shipment"? My delivery date range still is June 22-29.

My April 30 order was updated this morning to June 19-26. Are you in the US? and what time did you order on 4/30?
