Apple Contacting Some Early Apple Watch Customers: 'We're Working on Your Order'

[MacRumors]

Apple on Wednesday emailed select customers that pre-ordered the Apple Watch to reassure them that the company is working on their orders and will provide them with specific delivery dates and tracking information when available. Apple appears to have sent the email to customers with Apple Watch pre-orders that have yet to be prepared for shipment ahead of Friday's launch.

Apple Watch pre-order deliveries will begin on April 24 as scheduled, although it remains unknown how many devices will reach customers on day one. Apple confirmed earlier today that many Apple Watch pre-orders with extended shipping estimates will be delivered sooner than expected, but also noted that some customers with extended shipping estimates may still be in for a long wait.

It is unclear if this email is intended to reassure customers that their Apple Watch pre-orders may still be delivered on April 24, or to acknowledge that the shipments will not be finalized in time for Friday but will still be delivered within the original April 24-May 8 estimated window.

got this email from Apple, was hoping it was preparing for shipment. Instead its a link to videos.

 

[Locoboof]

this will be me if I see that email #

 

[Steviejobz]

This launch seems very disorganized for Apple. Reassuring people?

 

[ditdot]

Yeah, I got this email...pretty much was a kick in the junk!!

42mm SS Classic Buckle

 

[syndalis]

3:09am order. EST. SO nine minutes after launch.

Stainless steel watch with black sports band.

Still nothing at all.

I have sat in line for every iDevice launch since the 3G - feeling kind of salty at my inability to have this at launch.

 

[rcastro0]

I'm so confused. i got the same email. This is their way of telling us no 04/24 delivery. Hope mine will ship sometime next week.

 

[alexcue]

Got it too.. I just read that someone else who got it just confirmation that his is shipping. So all is not lost.... Just yet

 

[SamGabbay]

This is by far the most misleading email of the 21st century.

 

[Gooberton]

I just wanna know why the certain people got this

 

[puckhead193]

i got this email, yet some people are getting their watches early...
apple you dropped the ball on this one and i hope heads roll at Apple HQ

 

[hellamyers]

I got this email just now. Hoping to be surprised but doubt it. I ordered the 42MM Apple Watch with Classic Buckle. I have the 4/24-5/8 delivery window.

Such is life.

 

[Willskate4free]

Yup got one of these on one of my watches ... The ss 42mm sport black ... The 38mm that I ordered is in preparing to ship if the wife gets hers and I don't on Friday I'm gonna be a sad panda

 

[TyPod]

Just got mine. I have now fully accepted I will be getting my watch next week at the earliest. Oh well.

 

[Yourboyg]

Got these email a few minutes ago. I feel like everyone who got this email isn't gonna get there watch till the 8th

 

[SixtyK]

So what you're saying is that Apple is now promising to deliver my watch in the exact same time frame that they have been promising all along?

Man am I angry about this.

 

[hlevolve]

I got this email at 10:04 CST... WHAT????? Talk about not providing any information at all... other than at least they didn't forget about me...

 

[aceys]

12:02 PST pre-order e-mail. 38mm Sport Space Gray. No receipt, no shipping, and now no e-mail =(

 

[macduke]

Thank you for choosing Apple.

For some reason this line really stood out to me as being "un-Apple" sounding. Perhaps because it's a very generic, canned customer service thing to say?

 

[icedlatte]

FU Apple

early 42mm SS BSB

Again, FU Apple

 

[michael31986]

Ugh. Watch me get it. I am in the preparing for shipment batch of people though. Any preparing for shipment people have this?

 

[gvogrin]

This launch seems very disorganized for Apple. Reassuring people?

This is the worst email ever. Did you just want to remind me that I ordered a watch? Wait, you mean I need to update my iPhone? Whoa! Thanks for that. I was wondering if I needed to do that? I guess that will keep me busy during the two week waiting period.

You mean in the two weeks since I ordered the watch you cannot narrow down the expected delivery date by even a few days? Do I really want to see Apple's celebrity friends sporting their watches that they got for free while I am sitting here in limbo-land?

42mm SS Black Classic Band - 3:12am(Eastern) aka t+12 (still being processed)

 

[DannyJr17]

Just received emails for both my SG 42 Sport and my 42 Sport with Pink Band. Honestly, I am quite pleased that Apple reached out in this way, even though it possibly means no 4/24 shipping date...

 

[dannyp13]

I got this and my 42 SS with Milanese band is still processing. Order confirmed on 4/10 at 3:10am EST.

 

[applesith]

Oh no! They are going to deliver within the time they advertised when people placed their orders. Oh the horror!
