idk about you but I bought it on April 10. It's May 7 now with no end in sight.

To be fair, you haven't paid for anything yet, so you haven't bought it. You put your name in a hat saying "yeah, I'd like one of those". It's like ordering food. Sometimes it takes longer to get served than you like, but you'll obviously get served at some point.

You have every right to be upset, and to complain. It's been a ****** launch, but it's not entirely Apple's fault. I'm sure they would have liked us all to be wearing our watches by now. Just try and stay positive and you'll be wearing yours before too long.

Been watching for a couple of days now, laid out at home with a bum back.
Mine will be delivered to the office when it ships, so I hope to God I'm better by then.

42mm SG
Confirmation email: xx:07:34
Estimated delivery: 4-6 weeks, May 13-27
Status: Processing
Credit charged: no
Destination: Redmond, WA

By the way, I tried to get the official Apple time and the lady told me she couldn't see anything beyond the minute of the order. Just have to go by my Gmail time, which is accurate for all intents and purposes.
Fingers crossed that it ships tonight/tomorrow and arrives on Friday, and that my GD back cooperates!

I can pick it up at your office for you ;-)

Finally joined

Been reading for days driving myself insane finally decided to join in. I was late to the party on launch day and ordered a 38 mm space gray instead of the 42 mm which was pushed to June by 2:23 am CST (never consume alcohol on a launch day, you get distracted). About a week later I was scanning eBay and decided to bid on one and "accidentally" won for the low price of $504.00. So I cancelled my 38 mm (like an idiot).

-Have a May 13-27 shipping window
-Have no idea on any further details because the seller won't respond
-Sucks
-Assume I'm still in processing hell
-Arkansas

So as annoying as it is for you guys, imagine being completely in the dark on the order time and not knowing when it might ship.

(And the money has already left my account, so I paid $504.00 a month ago and have nothing to show for it, at least you guys haven't been charged already)

He was actually a new-ish member but it was the only one I could find under $600 and there was no way in hell I was going to give that much money for a watch sport, I'd go stainless steel at that point. And like I said it was an accident. I completely thought I would've been outbid but it never came after 4 hours of being the highest bidder. I contacted eBay today to see if I could get a refund if he cancelled it after I paid and I'm good up until May 30th so I hope he either replies or the watch comes in. Also Apple wasn't very helpful since I don't know his last name or his address on file. However I did finally confirm that the order number is still active and hasn't been cancelled.

Thanks you too. I'm sure there have been a lot of charges tonight. Most people are probably just sleeping unlike us who are on pins and needles about our :apple:watches. If I had anything to do tomorrow I'd be asleep also but I'm recovering from shoulder surgery so sleep isn't easy anyways. Im sure the board will be full of posts around 7 am.
 
Been lurking for a while and thought I'd chime in.

Woke up to charged CC and preparing to ship this morning. 5/7

42mm SG BSB. Confirmation email. 3:07:27 Eastern Time (US)
Ships to Louisville (I know right?). Maybe it'll come tomorrow?

If you are in the states, you may as well not check for weeks. Lol. We're struggling to get out single digits. 3:22 is a long way out.

Yep, here in France we're stuck at xx:03 since last week for the 42 SG AWS whereas people in the US keep getting (a few) of this model. I don't know if I'm mad at Apple or just bummed that they supply way more watches to the US than the rest of the countries, especially in Europe. It seems unfair to me and I can't see why they are doing that.

It reminds me that when I was a kid, every videogame came out first in the US and / or Japan, and here in Europe we had to wait a very (very) long time to get those. But publishers had a good reason at the time (Europe = many countries => many languages, many cities to supply, many customs, many currencies).

You can change the delivery address if it has been shipped yet.
 
Just got the notification the package is out for delivery. Odd it is coming straight from DFW airport this morning and not my local processing center. Guess I'll head home early to be around for the 2-6pm delivery window #

really really lame.

ordered at 12:06:50 and no movement at all. in the USA they're already into minute 8... and in Canada, we just wait. sucks.

Correction, the USA is only in the early :07s and naturally there will be a few stragglers from the previous times. It's not all nice and single file as we can all see. You're a late :06. You'll see some soon, I wouldn't get upset just yet.

I hope I'm wrong, but it seems eerily quiet on the thread this morning. I'm REALLY hoping we see some more cards/times charged soon...

Yeah, kinda bummed out. As I recall, late last night (Hawaii time), we had orders at least listed as being filled up to 7:13. I think the latest I've seen since is only 7:27. Just 14 seconds progress in a full day? At that rate my 8:36 will be waiting another 5 days and that may not include weekends! I really was hoping they'd cover at least 30 seconds in that day.

Oh well, still should either beat or be at the beginning of my May 13-27 window.

I'm with ya there, I thought I'd have seen more action on the thread. Well, here's to hoping today will bring us some heavy charges.

Looks like there is another flight from Anchorage to Louisville that land in about 2 and a half hours. Plus another from Shenzhen to Anchorage later this afternoon.

Hopefully these flights bring in a flurry of charges.
 
Charged! Didn't check my email before bed since I was thinking any movement would happen in the middle of the night, but I was charged at 9:40pm. Item has moved to Preparing for Shipment.

Ordered: 4/10/15
Time: XX:07:20
Delivery: May 13-27
Payment: Charged 5/6 @9:40 pm CDT
Location: Birmingham,AL

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.

I'm gonna say there is 0 stock in this. Morning has arrived and we got a whole bunch of nothing.

Can you send me some of the stuff you are smoking?
I'm in Australia and might be able to wait for my watch then a little bit more relaxed.

Ghost plant my ass!

Without being able to reveal my source:
The modified delivery dates will now be honoured and June means late June and July means July.

But by then we will all cancel our orders and pick them up in store my source says.
