Apple Watch Order Statuses Shifting to 'Preparing for Shipment'

James Baldwin said:
I know of at least 4 cases (just from this site so there are bound to be many, many more) where someone is set to receive their watch today despite only placing an order for it hours (if not days) after pre-orders went live whilst many (including me) who ordered within minuets of pre-orders going live are STILL waiting and won't see it on launch day.

That is a valid point to be angry and I am angry!

I'm not getting it today ... fine. But i see no movement today regarding charges and shipping. I'm so close to being on the next group shipping out, I can feel it. But I'm wondering if the pace will slow down now.

It'll slow down. I have no reason to believe it. Somehow I do though.

And yeah, there are things to be grateful for and this is nothing in the scheme of things but on one hand, it's just basic consumerism expectations. The guy on the phone Tuesday said, "you'll get it eventually."

If I was OK with eventually, I would have slept in and ordered it later. I would have waited till I had enough bestbuy points to buy an apple gift card, I would have turned down help from my family to pay for it.

I know this isn't a BIG deal. It's just a slap in the face because there are not many companies that have people like us who will do what we do and it seems under appreciated

So a product that's really popular and hard to get is a "feck up"?

Here's an easy solution: Next time, don't order it. Then your disappointment will never manifest.

The entitlement on this thread is overwhelming.

Yep. This thread has devolved pretty quickly from information sharing to entitled whining. Apparently Apple "owes" anyone that made the tremendous sacrifice of waking up for a 5 minute period 2 weeks ago. These people deserve to have their product in their hands on day one before ANYONE else gets it, regardless of whether or not Apple actually has enough product. And if a random internet person says they ordered the same product an hour later and also says Apple has shipped their product, this is a screw up of epic proportions and all hell will break loose.
 
What if I'm addicted to you guys and it's not the actual watch? What if I'm more interested in the fight than the cause? Omg. I need to make an appointment for Dr. G
I'm loosing it

Ya but did they order the same watch and band as you? Same country? So far I haven't seen any that ordered the same combo I ordered in the US that pre-ordered after me have there order ship.

In L.A. I'm hoping Monday will be the day then. It's being shipped to my office. I'll see how long it takes to change status, but at least the pressure is off.

Hoping you are up next Madman... you deserve it, after all you and your wife have been going through... a little escape.
