Thats odd. My watch (42mm SGS) was shipped from California where it was processed then handed over to UPS and not dropped shipped from the UPS hub in Louisville, KY. Could this be a clue that Apple has started stockpiling warehouses?
No, UPS has another hub in Ontario, CA
!
You're in the "wrong" thread. This is May13-27 window. I personally don't think the next wave of charges will hit until next weekend with final deliveries for this window happening on the 27th.
I am doubtful that your May 29 - June 11 window will see any action until May 27 - 30th range. But this is just an opinion based on what I have seen so far.
In the past it seemed in most cases it went out the next day.
That said, the last wave from last Tuesday there were at least 2 that I noticed had that happen. They didn't get PFS until Friday with delivery then on Monday. This hadn't been the norm, so its anyone's guess now.
Niiiiiiiice! I am still waiting on mine to be delivered by EOD today! Long a*s*s* day.
Don't put absolute faith in UPS tracking info. the point of origin you see does not mean it didn't go from China to Anchorage to Louisville to another UPS hub on a master AWB number and UPS only shows tracking from the point the shipment is broken out into individual packages.
Congrats! Looks good. I was tempted to hold it, but figured I've waited this long, whats a few more hours! TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT!
Thanks but I know "which" thread I am in. My deliver date is dependent on completing this window before start on mine. It looks like order volume drops fairly quickly after the 18 minute mark so I am hopeful I will get it later next week.
Sure, but I put more faith in UPS than I do random people speculating wildly in this thread.
Actually, I was in the May 29-June 11 timeframe (42mm SGS to Northern California). My confirmation email came in at xx:16 and it's now out for delivery today.
That was why I put "wrong" in quotes. I got that you were monitoring here to see when the next window might start. My thoughts on when you might see action are still accurate based on comparing Apple's performance of meeting the projected shipment dates so far. I was not telling you that you shouldn't be here.

Interesting you were placed in that timeframe. It looked to me that the 5/29-6/11 delivery window wasn't exposed until just after the xx:18 min mark
Glad you are getting your watch ahead of expectations though! (Even though, if you were like me, my thought was that I would not have to wait 30 days to receive a watch purchased within the first 30 mins.....but I digress)
I may be random but I assure you I am not wildly speculating. We've seen it often enough in this thread snd I've experienced it often enough with my own purchases from Apple in the past.
UPS tracking does not show anything for Canadian orders until after it clears Canada customs. By no small coincidence this usually happens within hours of one of the Tues - Fri UPS flights from Louisville to Mt. Hope (Hamilton Int'l Airport) in Ontario, Canada. From that point on we do see full tracking details. But no history of the movement prior to that.
By contrast when I have ordered an item that shipped via FedEx it is different but does shed some light on how International Freight moves. We still don't see any tracking info until the package clears Canada Customs but the we do see all of the past movement too. China to Anchorage to Memphis to Mississauga, Ont and then out to the various hubs.
Different companies with different protocols but the process of moving is very much the same.

I've had mine for almost a week without any and that's the way I'm going to keep it.
Just got confirmation that my SGS is waiting for me at the local UPS hub as requested. Unfortunately the counter doesn't open until 3:30 pm but at least I'll get some work done today Thanks for the laughs (and whines) guys and I'll post my experiences in another thread in the next few days. I'm very much looking forward to integrating the watch into my busy life.
Order conf: 4/10 xx:12
Charged: 5/18 12:01 AM PST
Delivered: today, Sacramento CA (Mather UPS hub)

There was one twist to my order: I originally ordered the 38mm SGS then, after I did a try-on at the store on April 11th, I called to change my order (4/11/15 at 1:42PM PDT) to the 42mm SGS. I think that automatically pushed me to the May 29-June 11 timeframe, However, I was able to keep my original order number and, thus, keep my place in line.
