Preparing for shipment!
My date got moved back yesterday to early June but this morning I am now preparing for shipment! Almost crashed my car checking it!
So how long does it take to go from PFS to on my wrist? 2 days?
In my mind I'm assuming I'll have it Friday.

Apologies, I'm +4 hrs after the preorder opened.....in Indiana

I first got tracking data this morning.
So far:
Suzhou, CN: 5/27 12:27 pm - origin, 2:15 pm - departure
Shanghai, CN: 5/27 3;15 pm - arrival, 7:09 pm - export
[those are China times -- which seems to be, conveniently, 12 hours off of Eastern time]
Of course, there's also this line:
China 05/27/2015 10:58 P.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS
Which corresponds to 10:58 am EDT. Which is 90 minutes from now. Not sure what that means.
I was hoping that maybe it was already in the US, and would get to the local depot sometime this afternoon (at which point, *maybe* I could've picked it up this evening). But I think it'll probably drive up from Louisville overnight.
Still, impressively quick.
Ordered: 7:11 am EDT 4/10 [all times EDT]
Orig *shipping* window: June
Updated window: May 29 - June 11
Updated Updated window: June 3 - 5 [midday, May 26]
Preparing for shipment, credit card charged: 7:00ish pm May 26
Updated *delivery* window: June 4-6
Shipping notification email from Apple: 1:30 am May 27
Apple delivery target: 1 June (from shipment notice email)
UPS Delivery target: 29 May
"Early delivery" target from UPS: 28 May, between 1 and 5 pm
So it seems, for me at least (all times rounded somewhat, and inexact due to when I may have remembered to check):
* T+0: Preparing for Shipment, credit card charged
* T+6 hours: Shipping notice from Apple, departed factory
* T+12 hours: Cleared customs export scan
* T+48 hours (or less): Expected delivery
Not sure if this timeframe will hold for others, but hopefully it can help.

Thank you for the great information. Apple must be running two production facilities now. One other question, where is it being shipped to?
Seriously! Am I the latest time to get a PFS so far? Hopefully that means things are picking up quickly.
Shipped to Northern Virginia. The regional UPS center is 5 miles from my house, so I was really hoping I could get it early tomorrow morning before they roll trucks. But they don't open until 8:00.
[also, note, I had to tweak the timeframe after I'd looked at a previous post -- I had confused one of the times...]
Yeah I'm at 10:48 am EDT on 4/10 so I'm still waiting. Hopefully tonight when most updates occur.
I had the same problem you'll prob see PFS tomorrow morning and shipped tomorrow. I had to wait over the holiday weekend.
I've been lurking this thread to get an idea of when my order would ship. I was charged this morning and it quickly went from PFS to "shipped" with a tracking number.
I ordered on 4/10 somewhere around 8:45am EST
I'm not sure what I'm more anxious for: the watch itself or to read seething blind hatred from someone who may have ordered earlier than me.
I'll post a picture of its arrival tomorrow.
Thanks for keeping me company the past few weeks!

So mine was this same time line yesterday, but this morning I looked and it had changed from UPS delivery late 29 May to Late 2 June. WTF??? Stupid UPS... Since I am going to Portland for two weeks on the 2nd of June, I won't even get my watch until i get back.... ARGH...
Does anyone know if I call UPS on the morning of the 1st, if I could pick it up from the wharehouse in my local area??? I live on Vancouver Island and imagine that UPS gets shipments in the day before they go out for delivery? Thoughts?
Updated.
4/10 730AM EST order. Original date "June" then 5/29-6/11.
Card was charged last night and changed to Preparing for Shipment.
6/3-6/5 then changed to 6/4-6/8.
Just now at 11AM it changed to "shipped" and still shows same date range. However, when I track it; it shows May 29th by end of day. Friday. Yes!!
And it's being shipped from China. Is there a warehouse in China?

UPS delay. Do not change delivery, even if UPS tells you there wont be any.
I called UPS shortly after getting my tracking number. I wanted to find out if I could send the package to a UPS store across the street from my office instead of it getting left on my front porch. (Not to mention he comes to my house around 6:30pm EST).
I was told by the rep there would not be any delays in my shipment as long as I made the change before midnight.
Got to work this morning, checked my tracking number. DELAY! The facility sorted the package wrong and was being transferred to another facility. My delivery date still says it will be here today, but UPS tells me there is a 100% chance it will not be. The facility is about 5 miles from my office and the UPS store is less than a mile away.
Just wanted to help anyone who was thinking of doing this. I just want my damn
watch already.
The UPS store doesnt get their shipments until 2-3pm EST so we will see if it happens to show up today. If not, whats another business day? Hell I have waited this long.....I couldnt expect to get everything I wanted on my birthday anyway.

Hold for pick up at a UPS Customer Center will not cause a delay.
Hold for pick up at a UPS Store will add one day to your original delivery date.
Don't believe the rep...
There wasn't an email. I checked my order status via the app and in bright red lettering there was an error message related to payment processing. Click the link, update CC info and now I wait knowing my own actions caused the delay.
