Just spoke to my apple contact who is helping me out because I have been complaining about this procedure. He clarified that this is the process. The EARLIEST we will see a charge on our accounts is when the plane enters the US. That being said we may NOT see a charge then but when it leaves KY or another US hub. What this means is that when we see all these planes coming into the US...this is our hope!!! Not saying any of these planes have watches on them or all of them do. Just saying that when we see planes coming from China we have hope. Credit Cards ARE NOT charged in China.

Care to ask why the charges and shipments do not remotely seem to reflect the order in which the orders were placed? ::frustrated::

Pullman, WA
No EOD
No Charge

Confident the 06's and 07's will have SG laden wrists before the end of next week. It's going to be well worth the wait, either way!
 
I ordered 2 in separate orders. One at 3:04 (which I've received) and one at 3:14. Do you guys think Apple is passing over the 2nd watch in orders until others have their first fulfilled? Did anyone order 2 at once and get them both at the same time?
 
It took UPS about 15 extra minutes to dig my $400 watch out of the "High value" vault.

The guy picking up his $3000 amplifier didn't have a wait.

Are you confident because that means you would have your's? I am an 09 order :( <- not sad enough

At least you still have optimism, after following these forums for the last week mine is gone. I am sure it will come back as soon as I get some movement but for now....

Do you get a little optimism even when you see a "wave" come through?

A guy a couple pages back (post #1125) ordered two and just got payment confirmation today. Not sure how they determine your place in line. Starting to think they just do it randomly.

It's clearly not random. No one past 06 had been charged yet. Best guess it's a combination between time ordered and location.
 
Dreams do come true, look at bank account and we cc was charged and then also notice order status change to preparing to ship.

YES! Mine just shipped!!

My email confirmation came at xx:05:47

New York City area

Credit card got charged late last night and changed to preparing to ship soon after.

The tracking number isn't even working on UPS's site yet, but there is always a delay on that. Don't know what the ETA delivery is yet.

YES I'm so excited! I'm also pissed off at how bewildering this whole launch has been. Why is mine shipping now when so many xx:04's and xx:05's haven't even been charged yet?

Based on the discussion, looks like I've got quite a few ahead of me still...

As I've seen many others state, I'm one of those whose wife is currently wearing her watch. She didn't even want one until I convinced her and told her I'd order it for her on the 10th!
 
42mm Space Grey Sport.
Order conf: xx:04:52
Wave 2: May 13 - May 27
Location: GA
CC: Chase Visa Pending as of 12:22 PM EST 4.26
Order Status: Preparing for shipment!
Order number: Wxx603XXX

Received earlier this morning! It is very nice and worth the wait. The notifications are great. The OS runs really smoothly from what I can tell so far.

Only complaint so far is that the watch band pin digs into my wrists a bit while laying my arms on my desk as I type. Feels awkward to have my wrists laying on the desk like they are most of the day.
 
So this is strange...

I ordered my 42mm SG watch several minutes after 12:01am because the website wouldn't go live for me. I had to use the website because I had a gift card, and when the site finally went live, estimates were already at mid-May. So that's where I sit. My email time stamp is 12:12am.

But I just got into chat with an Apple specialist, and she tells me the time stamp in Apple's system is 12:01am, exactly.

How is this possible? I ordered it after 12:01am, for sure... and I'm still Processing. But she insists the time stamp is 12:01am for me.

Has this happened to anyone else?
