Same thing happened with my brother and his 42mm watch (sport blue strap band). Long story short PayPal lied their butts off to him and the Apple rep trying to help him out so he ended up changing his payment to his debit card and got his watch shipped within 12 hours. Apple didn't give him anything for the trouble since it was PayPal's fault but we did get to hear the Apple rep scream obscenities to the PayPal rep for lying over the speaker phone when they had a conference call trying to figure the whole mess out.
Got a tip for us?

I got mine yesterday and thought about doing the same thing. Sat in the box all day. Looked at ebay and while some were going for decent marked up price there really wasn't much upside to it. Ended up opening it and setting it up. It's nice.
Shipped
Ordered 4/10 5pm, Charleston, SC. Card charged last night and turned to PFS.
Just turned to Shipped now!
Check the tracking info and it said it is shipped from Harrisburg, PA by UPS NEXT DAY AIR Saver...
Why everybody's are shipped from China and mine is shipped from US? Anybody got the same?

Apple support just told me they can't change payment option at this stage. But I should wait up to 24 hours for PayPal to address the issue on their end. Ugh ugh I can't tell who is lying to me any more. But thank you for helping me feel less like I'm alone in this. At this point I'm ok with not having the watch, after all I've gone through.
status update:
i've been PFS since 10pmPST last night.
Anxiously waiting now for "shipping" update.
Ordered on 4/10 6:30pm PST

Isn't that where they store the returns to be refurbished?? #
Anyway, mine shipped this morning from some place in China. Scheduled to be delivered on Monday. My order was placed about 7 am Eastern time on 4/10. Woot.
Well the UPS guy just dropped by to deliver my watch. This forum has been great and helped me endure the long 49 day wait. Now time to figure this thing out. Glad I got it before the weekend though. I would hate to be the guys that have to wait til Monday (jk)
Meh, not a problem. I've gone a long time without it, so one weekend more is trivial. Glad you got your so soon, though. Congrats.
One thing I have been doing is reading the owners manual for the watch. It helps a lot to understand how the device works before I receive it.
sigh if i don't get the shipping notice in a few hours i believe i'll be looking at June 2nd. which is just one more day. but still it's killing me knowing I'm PFS now.
Should be on my wrist right now, but UPS doesn't know how to handle a "same-day will call request" and tried to deliver it anyway. Made two requests, one at 6:30 am, and another just after 8 am, and they put it on the truck for delivery and attempted delivery regardless.

AHHHHHH. Just got charged and am at Preparing for Shipment!!! Hoping it spends all weekend traveling and I get it Monday!
April 11th 10:14am MST
Also, the stupid Apple Store app didn't notify me of the change in order status even though I have that turned on so I'm guessing it's useless.

And that's why you go and buy a gift card and put it on your payment method. So things like this don't happen. They don't care. They are just at work.
Someone from people after April 10 will possibly have 2 start one !!! Good luck !!!
status update: shipped and on its way for Monday delivery!
4/10 630pm PST ordered
PFS Last night 1030pm PST
Shipped around 2pm PST today
It's actually happening

Well as of now, I have shipping info! I get it Monday as well!
I might have them deliver it to a UPS office though because I don't exactly know if I'll be home when they deliver it.
