I paid with 2 separate giftcard - one with the AWS return amount & one with $10 over the difference in cost.

I wouldn't know how long PFS status takes though, since it did that the Monday before the 24th, last time (Apple doesn't deliver before release) :p




did you see two of the posts above have a very quick turn around from preparing to ship to delivery 2 days...
 
After reading the most recent posts I'm hopeful to get my watch by next week. It's so hard waiting I thought I could wait but it's hard. I ordered on 4/29 SS 38mm Milanese a couple of days after the posts above. Mine still says processing. Hoping mine changes to preparing for shipment by the weekend.



They're moving! Looks like up to the 27th! Soon!
 
Preparing for Shipment

Mine is preparing for shipment now! I ordered on April 24 in the late evening. delivery dates are still May 20 through the 28th I am expecting that to change.

Just for the record mine is the 38mm ML
 
Thanks!

My order date was April 17th with a delivery date of May 20-June3.

Then on April 27th, I received the updated delivery date of May 20-28.

This morning (May 6), my status went to "preparing for shipment"

Just checked, and now it shows Shipped!!!


I'm in Wisconsin.

Above post was yesterday.... Mine is now out for delivery!!! (38 mm SS Milanese)
 
Still preparing to ship here but at least charges show this am so some movement. PUHLEEZE ship today!
Does anyone remember about how long they were
in preparing to ship status?

I got the Preparing to ship at some point during the night on Tues night/Wed morning. Saw it when I got up in the morning... about 6:30-7:00 am. Then I stalked the apple order status page, and got the Shipped status about 12:20pm yesterday. Got an email from Apple at 12:39 pm yesterday with tracking number, But took UPS awhile after that to update it into their system... probably was able to see it on UPS's site about 4:00-5:00 pm or so yesterday. About 8:30 this morning it is now showing as Out for Delivery.

I've got it coming to my work, so I should see it here about 12:30 or so today!!

Wow! The actual shipping/transit time is only a day!? Where are the watches shipping from?

According to UPS tracking, it originated in Harrisburg, PA, then went to Middletown, PA, then to Louisville, KY, then to Milwaukee, WI, then onto local WI hub
 
Mine entered preparing for shipment last night - still stuck there, with no updates...

Is this bad?

I paid with Apple gift cards, so I know they're good - as they had more than enough for this purchase - as I checked their balances yesterday afternoon...

It's our time zone notice the back east orders even our midwest comrades show shipment around or just after 1P which also happens to be the Apple Store "orders placed by time" it applies to whatever time zone you're in. We're in apples time zone
I THINK. Meaning this has been my experience whenever ordering ar the online Apple Store

We're in this together!

:)

Has yours moved, or are you also still in PFS alongside mine?

I'm hoping to have it tomorrow - rather than Monday.

I did call Apple, while they couldn't provide a definitive answer, the rep indicated its ready to move from Apple - but could be as late as the shipping window - who knows...
 
It's here! I have child sized hands - I can't even imagine the 42mm on me!

Perfect fit looks great!

Lucky!

Haven't received one yet...

Nor does my order reflect it on Apple's site - still PFS lol

WHAT!!!!!? Don't worry it's not the gift card thing I paid with a gift card too. It's just a matter of minutes for you remember you're or was a couple days after mine....it's a line you're next up!

Can you send a picture of the loop closure on you? When I tried on the 42 he clasp went all the way to the other side of the watch. But the 38 was middle ish? If you have time. I'd love the perspective. I got the 38 there was no question. It was perfect.
 
Shipped!! It says it will be delivered tomorrow.

For the record I ordered late on April 24. Sometime late last night it changed to preparing for shipment. Today at around noon it changed to shipped. I got a text from apple saying it had shipped and would be delivered by May 8th.

This is great! My parents are actually buying mine as a college graduation gift and I graduate tomorrow!! Couldn't be happier.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, when the UPS guy got here, and saw me all excited... he asked me what I was getting. I told him, and he hadn't seen one come in this size box before. I asked if they were longer boxes he's seen, and sure enough... so apparently, he's seen the sport watches delivered around here, but not the SS version.

I'm figuring it'll be soon - I wouldn't think it'd be PFS if it wasn't ready to go, for UPS to just collect/process it.

It still says 4-6 weeks 5/29-6/11 :(

I'm losing hope that it'll ship out today, then again maybe it'll do it overnight, assuming it's just coming from Ontario, California.

Maybe I shouldn't have called Apple, to ask why it's in PFS status, for so long...
 
Sure- here you go-





brava!!!!! It looks perfection you, mine fit exactly like that at fitting so glad I decided on the 38. The 42 was so clunky big and not in a cool "flavor flav giant neck clock" way...it simply did not fit. Good choice!!! Now what?
We're going to need a new thread! Have fun tinkering!

Perfect timing! I ordered late too on the 25th
And congratulations on your graduation!
 
My wife ordered the 38mm ML as a replacement for her SS WSB because she liked the ML so much when we finally made it into the store to try it on, plus it turned out that the entire watch shipped faster than the ML band by itself. We also ordered late on the 25th and ate currently in PFS. I think it will arrive tomorrow based on others experience. Interesting thing is my wife has ordered and received two watches and I'm still waiting on mine!!
