My problem with it is that I'm essentially being punished for having fraud protection on my credit card. In all honesty, fraud protection does absolutely nothing for me, because if fraud is committed on my card, why should I care? It most likely wasn't my fault. In the end, the credit card company won't bill me for the fraudulent charges. Fraud protection saves the credit card company money by preventing them from having to pay for things their actual cardholders didn't buy. It does absolutely nothing for the cardholder, so I don't really understand why it's advertised as being beneficial. I couldn't care less if the credit card company has to pay for fraudulent charges, but I do care if their efforts to prevent doing so hold up my life and the business transactions I have in place to better my life.
This is a problem with your credit card provider. You should be screaming at them for thinking a charge from Apple was fraudulent. Cancel your card and switch to a new provider if you don't like the service you are getting.
What's odd though is an apple rep told me she could see my order was shipping from within the US so they just have washes earmarked that are on hold until the transaction clears. Makes no sense
Thanks for the financial advice MartyCan. I'll be sure to include it in my decision making.
I was just charged!!

My order time was xx:13:57 and my order shipped & was supposed to be delivered TODAY via UPS.
But They Delivered It To The Wrong Address!! UPS had the right address on the label but they delivered it to another town and someone named 'NEWMAN' sign for it!
I called Apple & it'll take 2-4days for them to get UPS to explain/investigate.
Has this happened to anyone else? I'm pulling my Hair Out !!![]()
I do not believe this to be true. They may show the shipping point originates in the states but I am still convinved that Watches are shipped from China to the US in bulk shipments pre-addressed for the end customer. The shipping origin point is wherever the bulk shipments are first separated and scanned in the US.
In support of that i would offer this. Your device's Serial Number (phone, watch, iPad, etc.) is available in your Apple support profile long before the first UPS scan is online.[COLOR=
Wound that be once it is pfs?
Really ?, did you change to PFS...
No still processing but I received a notification from my bank of the charge
OMG ARE YOU SERIOUS DUDE? How?? Wtf.
Mine came in this morning at 11:30 but I had to wait till I was back home from work. All set up and installed Armorsuit (got frustrated and threw out one, was able to finally put on the second one after half hour but now I can't even tell its on there. Anyway I just wanted to say good bye and thank you all for your help.

Wow..... I just don't understand that. Everyone, and I think EVERYONE that has ordered between 0 hour on up to the 17min mark for this model has been shipped, or at LEAST preparing to ship. Something 'just aint right'.
WTF is right!! Don't know how it happened. The box had the correct address label but the UPS driver delivered it to a different town to an address that isn't even close to mine! Crazy! After 6 weeks of waiting & finally thinking it was over, I now have to wait 4 days for an investigation to complete and who knows what after that!
I was really shocked just how heavy the box and watch weighed.
Not me. Order time was xx:15:19 on that night. My card was attempted to be charged yesterday (Monday) about 9am, that charge was blocked because of my card's stupid fraud protection, I called and at about 10am, the transaction was authorized. After being authorized, it went back to processing and the card has not been charged yet. I really don't know what to think about this, but so much for Apple's "people will receive their watches in the sequence that they were ordered." I was completely skipped over by the wave I should have been in, and I really should have had my watch today.
Did anyone else have this problem with their card blocking the transaction and now having to wait even longer?
