42mm Space Grey May 13 - 27

Did anyone conclusively find out whether or not charges happen once planes leave china, or anchorage or where?

I only ask cause it seems like there are about 7 planes or so inbound and being a xx:22, I'm curious if those are either the massive wave that everyone was just charged for or if these may be another incoming wave.

P.S. - When this started, I seriously thought it was ridiculous and obsessive to check the flight pages......yet here I am... lol

Each of the last couple batches came in two parts. Which orders were part of day one or day two seemed random. Looking at the Google spreadsheet, its a pretty random splattering of red, yellow and green for the current wave. Those that are still red will likely switch to yellow and/or green tonight/tomorrow. These are probably on the flights currently inbound. After tomorrow, this batch should be mostly a solid green block.

The next batch will likely be a few more days... unless they have finally ramped and shipments will be more regular (unlikely until June).
 
Shipped!

But this many planes inbound and huge wave like this plus people that got charged last night and shipped today/tomorrow means the shipment for those watches were already in the states, all these flights arrive tonight and no way can they arrive if they are on the flight by tomorrow but idk lol wishful thinking esp for the planes coming from china to alaska tonight, you gotta think like this when you have a xx:19 time like me hahaha

If it isn't showing on your product support section, you can do the print invoice from the order tracking page and it will be on that.

Thanx very much for the info.

Any idea when THIS translates too? "Production week: 19 (May)" and "Factory: FH" ?? :)

But it literally means nothing. If it went to prepared to ship early today, you'll surely get it tomorrow. Mine came in at 4pm PST a couple weeks ago and I got my watch at 3pm the following day. Others moved to shipping much earlier in the day and got their watch much later the following day.

What shipping window group were you in? This is week 6 of 6, so if you were in the 4-6 group, this is your week.
 
Is it just me or did a bunch of the US xx:13:xx confirmations get by passed?

Seeing orders confirmed out to almost 18 minutes but seems 13's missed the bus?

Not that I have skin in the game but the process is still interesting and this seems odd to me.

The past waves were done in two parts. The holes in-between all the yellow and green cells should fill in tonight/tomorrow.

Assuming April 10th was zero day, this Friday (22nd) marks the 6th week. If you were in the 4-6 week shipping group on April 10th, this is the last week it can ship and still make it within the quoted window.

It seems odd they would quote you a ship date no later than this Friday, but also quote you a delivery time 2-3weeks after that...
 
Before i call UPS, can someone who has successfully picked up their watch from their local UPS hub share with me how they went about doing it?

This is easy, if you do it right and don't screw up like I did ;)

If you have the myUPS account, you can have it re-directed to your local center and pick it up that morning that it would normally go out for delivery.

However, you need to pick the right UPS center. It needs to be the one that first processes the delivery. You can call UPS and they will tell you the correct center. I at first thought I could re-direct it to the local UPS store...but that meant I would pick it up the NEXT day (makes sense in retrospect - they would get it say on a Monday and then deliver it the next day to the local store).

Oh **** you're right!!!! orginally said 2-4 weeks then June then updated 4-6 weeks then the May 29th-June 11th lol so don't go by the May 29th-June 11th bs? So if people have the May 29th-June 11th date should say 5-7 weeks right? This might be good news for me? lmao

I selected a UPS Store pick up for my other watch and it was delivered the same day as originally scheduled. I actually got it earlier than if it went to my house as the UPS man comes really late in my area, but the UPS Store had it ready by 11am. The store I selected was next to my office so I was able to go get it over lunch :D

Ya, "Shipped" and "Delivered" are different windows. I think it assumes a standard shipment that takes up to a week to deliver, but with the watch orders originating in the US and being sent next-day air, the two quotes are more or less the same.

I just counted 19 Sundays... close enough right? :confused:

Either way it seems to line up with the last wave's manufacturing dates... I would think that this shows watch manufacture date followed by quality control tests and then alignment with the band availability.

At least things are moving and this could be good for many with later delivery windows
