Eh, that's not how it works. You got a hold when you placed your order. You can only be charged when the merchandise is available to ship. Unless, you have multiple items in your order, you should not have more than those 2 authorizations. If you have more that 2, the 1st at time of order would be for the total of all items, then you may have separate autos for the individual items as they ship.

^^^
 
^ e-mail time could also be delayed from the actual order time btw

Order really did occur after XX:11, since I had to type a different card number.

I will make one correction, time stamp within the email header is XX:12:31.

Didn't read far enough down (my bad) due to how I have my email forwarding to that account.
 
Both charged and preparing for shipment not sure why but Apple pay used 2 different cards but hey whoopie they are on their way. Times = 00:10:25 and 00:11:10

And there have been several others in the high 11 min mark to report "charged" as well.

Congratulations! I hope it gets shipped out quickly to you. I still cannot believe this "wave" could go in excess of 2 mins! (and I hope so, since my number should be called shortly being a :xx12:22'er)
 
Confirmation was at 3:15 AM EDT on 4/10/2015

Still Processing... I had really hoped for movement. Tomorrow's my birthday. It would have been nice, APPLE!

Disregard what the chat reps tell you and trust our experience; new charges so far after the pre-order mean that your Watch is in the process of preparing to ship. It's probable that overnight tonight or early tomorrow a shipping label will be printed for you and you'll see your status update along with receiving a tracking number for UPS.

Many of us have been through this multiple times; this is a good sign. Don't let the chat reps bring you down now. ;)

EDIT: And like clock work mine changed to Preparing for Shipment. Just keep checking; you're golden.

Thanks! Hopefully I'll have it Thursday. Probably better than Wednesday. I'm sitting the Grandkids Wednesday afternoon & evening.

P.S. I see from the spreadsheet there are lots of others that were charged but whose status is still Processing Items.
