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?

Wow, have seen a number where the reps had told people the order time was much later than the confirmation, but not earlier.

Having followed these threads from inception, Reps have been completely inconsistent/incorrect/untruthful through this whole process.

Just finished chatting with the Apple reps... Not happy AT ALL.

My confirmation email came in at 12:05 PST

The rep told me my order was not processed until 5:00 PST....
 
12:04:53 PDT here
Seattle
No Charge
No "EOD"
Was in the 4/24-5/8 until I clicked submit, confirmation came and dates had slipped to 5/13-5/27

Its quite interesting to see the random order that the orders are completed in. I don't think they are following the email time stamps at all.

They have been consistently mixing up minutes and hours... Yours is most likely 12:05 not 5:00.

I sort of feel like I'm zone 7 ready to board a plane and they just called zone 4. It's not your time yet, but you might as well get up, stretch, and gather your things.
Sooner or later they have to call your number.
Right?

Don't stress - My email was 12:05:33. When I chatted with a rep they told me "5:33". I was just charged and moved to prep for ship.
 
Care to ask why the charges and shipments do not remotely seem to reflect the order in which the orders were placed? ::frustrated::

he says hes heard numerous stories about macrumors but since it is not an official apple forum he cant speak on it. He understands that im probably not lying about this and that no one here probably is and hes forwarded the information to execs but they are aware of what people are saying but can't "bump people up"

Except in our case, they're about to get to zone 7 and they announce overhead that there are no seats left and we will have to wait while they build another plane.
 
I'm mad at :apple:

I was fine with May 13-27 because that's what I agreed to when I clicked "Submit Order".

But then people in my delivery window started seeing movement.

Part of me wishes they were sticking to the delivery windows so I wouldn't be obsessing.....

Nah, who am I kidding. Bring on dat :apple:Watch baybay!

Could it be that she was reading me the minutes and seconds? So my time stamp is actually 12:12:01am?

Definitely not looking to get bumped up, just hoping the process is fair.
 
Just got my shipping confirmation a few minutes ago. Scheduled for delivery tomorrow, 4/29.

Just to recap - ordered at 12:05, email confirmation came in at 12:05:28, card was charged last night (8pm PHX time), was preparing for shipment until 11am today.

This is the one thing I have learned from this. No truer words have been spoken.

While very polite, they aren't as informed as they need to be. Not saying it's their fault necessarily. They're just not privy to answers to the questions we have.

I'm frustrated that before I clicked submit it said ships 4/24-5/8 and then the confirmation screen said 5/13-24. I understand they were going fast, but c'mon.
