42mm Space Grey May 13 - 27

Was worried I wouldn't see it until Wed, but got shipment notification at 8:37p central that it would arrive tomorrow at my home in Dallas. (FWIW, my order was at xx:13) So if anyone is still hoping for a delivery tomorrow, notices for next day delivery are still coming in. At least as recently as an hour ago.

Was it a Barclay card? My card declined but Barclay says there's no problem. Apple tried again and it still declined. So I changed the CC and now I'm waiting for the status to change

Checked my Barclay card just now. It shows 3 pending Apples charges for the watch and apple care #

Nope, Discover. Status hasn't changed all day (but the exception/error is no longer there). Bummer because nothing was wrong after all with the card - Apple apparently goofed up - and now I'll have to wait at least another day as my xx:15:xx peers are shipping. I'll live of course. :)

Think we will get them by Friday? I was hoping I didn't have to wait until next week. My status hasn't changed from processing either
 
4/10; xx:15.56. Was traveling all day on a plane and just got wifi service and an iMessage came through with the news.
SHIPPED!!! Delivery TOMORROW!
A great big thank you to all of you for sharing the ride and sharing your thoughts. Time to move on. For those who are still in this may 13-27 time group who haven't received yours yet, let's hope a new tsunami wave arises real soon and we all receive our watches before the 27th!!! Peace and enjoy the SG Sport!
 
Picking Up UPS Package Before Delivery (USA)

Watch being delivered tomorrow (5/19). Here is my experience confirming I could get it before it went out on a truck.

I called UPS on the afternoon of 5/18 to investigate the process for picking it up before the first delivery attempt. On my first call they told me it was too early to make any changes, and that I needed to call back once my tracking information reflected an Origin Scan.

So I waited for the Origin Scan and then called UPS back per their suggestion (got transferred around a few times). I even spoke to one guy who asked me outright if my package was an Apple Watch or "some other Apple gadget". He said he had to transfer me to some special team to deal with it. So that happened...

Finally I spoke to someone who handled it for me. He ended up confirming my name, phone number, address, and shipping number. I made sure to ask several times if I would indeed be allowed to pick up my package before the first delivery attempt.

Until I pressed them a little, all they would say is that my package "would be there and held for five business days", but I kept getting the feeling it was going to end up being held after the truck returned for the day. So before I got off the phone, I asked again and the customer service rep finally told me I can pick it up "in the morning hours" after "approximately 8 AM" and advised me to "call back in the morning if needed and to keep an eye on my shipping status."

Now I have an address for the correct UPS location and I'll be heading out ASAP tomorrow. Before that I've got to update my phone to the latest iOS update so I can actually use the watch when I get it. I hate restoring from iCloud but I'm all out of storage space on my Mac to do a local backup. Good problem to have!

Thanks to McDaddio & speedbumpnv for the guidance.

* EDIT - Just noticed this new language on the UPS tracking site:

"A delivery change for this package is in progress. / The receiver arranged to pick up the package at a UPS facility."

They tried to charge my card late last night, and my credit card for some reason put a fraud warning on it, and i didnt see it until the morning. Got them to recharge the card again and made sure it wouldn't be flagged again, but im stuck at processing again. Ugh. They charged it for the full amount but the status is still at processing. Looks like I went to the back of the line for may shipments, dang
 
As of 3:30 am central time my watch is in Louisville and hasn't left. They better get that thing on a plane for St. Louis soon. I can't wait any longer.

I'm in the same boat, went from Harrisburg to Louisville and stopped. They better hustle if I'm getting it by 4:30 pm tomorrow. Would have held for pickup but it was going to change delivery to Wednesday for some reason.
 
Mine left Louisville at 4:13 AM EST. Still have a ways to go if they're going to get it all the way to Savannah, GA today!
 
Seems like most of ours left Louisville around the same time. I expected to wake up with it in my city already.
 
Mine left Louisville, KY at 4:16 AM. Looks like Louisville was popular with Apple Watches for a while this morning. Mine arrived in Hapeville, GA at 5:34 AM. I'm waiting for it to say, out for delivery.
 
Mine left Hapeville, arrived in Doraville, and is now out for delivery. Last one arrived at 11:09, so I should have just a few hours to go.

The full journey: Nashville, TN -> Louisville, KY -> Hapeville, GA -> Doraville, GA -> Brown Truck -> My Arm
 
Guys, it's been fun and stressful, but it's time for me to put this thread to rest. I hope those waiting get some satisfaction soon!!!

Both of my watches are at Ground Zero.

Same problem here, still processing after they had issues charging my discover card and was only told I would have it by the 27th. I thought their policy was they don't charge you until it ships?
