Now I have to wait and see if Apple will try and charge again today or if I have to wait. Very frustrating. I should have had my Apple Watch tomorrow, it seems, but this error may cause me to have to wait longer.

Unfortunately, the hold/decline was probably triggered automatically. An expensive piece of electronics being shipped to an address other than the billing address is going to trigger a red flag and at the very least get a second look.

It is a precaution against fraud but it can be frustrating and inconvenient when it triggers on a legitimate transaction. Hopefully you can get it cleared up without too much of a delay.

I really thought last night was going to be the night. Unfortunately no. I have a feeling ti will go through late today or late tonight and sit in the local UPS office all weekend. so close yet so far away.

Ups delivers on Saturdays, I thought. I'm in the same boat as you, I expected last night, assuming tonight shipment is similar to last night, we should be good to go.

Anyone know how quickly it goes from Preparing for Shipment to actually shipped? Got mine updated to preparing as of 7am EST.

UPS delivers on Saturday under certain circumstances... But does it for Apple Watch deliveries?

Weather in Louisville won't be bad enough to slow them down, just thunder showers and mild temperature. Cargo planes have a much higher tolerance for take off and landing in bad weather than passenger planes.

I just wanted to point out that I LOL every time I see your username.

I'm not sure about the UPS on Saturday option, but I don't think any watches got shipped last Saturday. I wouldn't get anyones hopes up too much. They may ship Sat for huge holidays.
 
All, some :06's are moving. as noted, my xx:06:08 is on the UPS truck out for delivery today. It went into Preparing for Shipment yesterday with my CC getting hit same day.

That means you're getting your watch before me and I was 2 SECONDS EARLIER.

BRB calling Tim Cook and selling all my Apples on eBay.. including this half-eaten Granny Smith (the color was way too green on this anyway.. what were they thinking). This is completely absurd.:p

I'm in the 05 range and haven't seen any movement. It's a crap shoot at this point.

I am not trying to be a downer... But my suggestion is not to get you hopes up.

Our orders are at the same time - and so are our thoughts. I was fully expecting this morning to have an update - now it seems I won't have it until at least Monday.
 
Finally get my watch shipped and UPS chooses my package to improperly route. They delayed it a day, so I requested a hold on the package. Hopefully it doesn't get stolen and I get stuck waiting until June.
 
from what I have read (various posts and my own experience)

Charges tend to happen early morning/overnight and order status changes to Preparing for Shipment (in my case 02:45)

between 3pm and 4pm this changes to Shipped, with a tracking number (in my case 3:15pm)

Tracking number goes 'live' around 11-12pm (in my case 11.28pm)

watch is delivered next day (in my case, it's due between 1:15pm and 4:15pm)

so, this is what most people can expect as their status changes.

overnight for us is EOD in China so that matches with watches being charged on accounts as they are rolling off the assembly line and onto planes. So the planes we've all been tracking contain watches that are already allocated which makes us following them pointless.

I chose that name because I was about to get a Mac Pro, but I didn't get it. I might have 8 cores with all the devices combined, though. :D
