to Alabama. Hooray!!

I'd be ok with someone adding me to the spreadsheet.

This just posted on Twitter by "Cult of Mac".

Apple is getting ready to offer customers the chance to pick up their new Apple Watches in brick-and-mortar retail stores, according to a new option on the Apple Online Store describing the service as “available soon.”

Maybe Apple is catching up on deliveries faster than they anticipated.

Watch is on the way

Finally got registered! Card was charged this morning and just got the shipping email a few minutes ago. Should arrive on Thursday.
 
Is there any evidence that these are, in fact, Apple Watches? How do we know they aren't iPhones as the URL suggests?

They aren't all Apple Watches. But from following this forum for the past few waves, when a bunch of flights land in Lousiville, we get a lot of posts saying that they are now being charged/preparing for shipment. I think it's safe to say that a majority of the shipments are Apple Watches.
 
I can't put a ton of stock in what I'm about to say, but I figure any news is good news...so, here it goes:

From what I have been told (and I can't reveal my source, or give any clues...sorry)...expect tonight's shipment to be "extra-full" of 42mm SGS. Should clear out the XX:07 and XX:08 orders for the US.

If this is true, move up my estimation for next week to have XX:25 (maybe even up to XX:30) orders shipped by next Friday, again, IF THIS IS TRUE. Seems as though another "ghost plant" has come online to run ONLY 42mm SGS to clear out the backlog...and these could be coming from overseas via someone that is NOT UPS...but will be delivered to Alaska to be taken elsewhere by UPS...so, untrackable...

Take it at face value. I cannot provide any proof of these statements.

Tim? Is that you?
 
I suppose I'll finally chime in. Been lurking for weeks.

42mm Space Gray with Black Sport Band

Delivery Window: May 13–27

Credit Card Charge: No
 
Got charged last night at 11pm PST but still have not received shipping confirmation. Still shows as preparing for shipment. How long after they charge does it take to ship? I'm in California.
 
My wife's went from authorization to shipped well within 12 hours. Mine was authorized for days and then the authorization dropped off. Apple says mine was authorized in error but to "hold on, it will ship soon." Hopefully you weren't authorized in error/too soon like I was (others were too).

EDIT: Never mind. Missed the "Preparing for Shipment" part.

It will say is shipped when UPS picks them up later this evening
 
Hm... was working on the spreadsheet when I got an error from Google and then the sheet locked down. Closing the browser and going back doesn't seem to help. Sheet is now read only.

Perhaps it is just because so many people are logged into it.
 
Whoo! finally got charged early this morning. my order confirmation time was 3:06:48 am and apple site showing preparing to ship. Live in NYC, hope to receive it tomorrow!
