I have yet to see a May delivery switching to Preparing for shipment..

"Once an order changes to Preparing for Shipment, customers may be able to track by reference number using a phone number on the UPS and FedEx websites to get tracking information before a shipping email even goes out."

How do I do this?

 

[tagsaid]

I feel your pain. I'm in the same area, with same exact order check out time. Theory?

My theory is since we are local they are trying to use us as ginny pigs, they want to either lower our blood pressure or elevate it and give us a heart attack and see how the watch helps us recuperate

I'm in the US, ordered a 42mm SG Sport with Apple Pay, received confirmation at 3:01 ET and my watch has been moved to preparing to ship and my CC has been charged.

EDIT: Ironically, my billing address was incorrect too and I called to fix. They said the pre approval was fine though so it wouldn't have been an issue anyways. It was a Chase credit card.

This is funny because my billing address was wrong too. Called to fix and they said pre-approval was fine but check the app earlier and it said they couldn't charge my card, had to update the address. Still got charge and changed to preparing for shipment though.

still nothing for me... 42mm space gray sport
going to Long Island NY

For those that have moved on has your UPS/FEDEX updated? Where are they shipping out from?

CC Pending, Preparing for Shipment!

Hello Monday! Title says it all. 42mm SS Milanese. So glad to be in the first batch! Order confirmation 12:03.

42mm Space Grey scheduled for later in May...No Change yet. Hoping (though doubting) its status changes soon, too. Email confirmation at 12:04.

Was your card just charged now or earlier on in the evening with everyone else? Just trying to figure out if charges are still going on or if they're done for the evening....

My card was charged earlier, around 5pm EST. Got a 42mm SS White sport band watch. Preordered at 3:02am

Watch model: 38mm Sport - Pink Band

Status: Processing (still no charge)

Used the same card. No idea why one has processed and the other hasn't... anyone have the pink 38mm shipping?

 

[drwebber]

I doubt they will be done for the evening. When I bought the 6 Plus it got charged at 1:15AM give or take, so even though it could be case but I somewhat doubt it.

I'm pretty sure Tim and Sir Jonathan aren't running credit cards. That being said I would imagine it goes on at all hours.

I ordered two watches for my girl and I, 3:03 confirm email.

Same here. My wife and I ordered a total of 4 watches. 3 are all charged and preparing. But the 38 Space Grey Sport hasn't been charged and is still processing. Our order confirmation was received at 12:02 PT. The others (all silver sport 38s) were ordered as late as 12:23AM and have gone to preparing

My watch is preparing for shipment

I have a 3:02am EST order time, and my 42mm Sports space grey flipped to preparing for shipment earlier today. Hopefully I'll see it on Friday.

42mm Space Grey scheduled for later in May...No Change yet. Hoping (though doubting) its status changes soon, too. Email confirmation at 12:04.

42mm Milanese loop email confirmation at 12:04:01am (PST) April 10th. Still no charge, no update.

 

[macgeek01]

Nope I ordered a 42mm and a 38mm space grey to orlando, fl both confirmed at 3:01 and paid with apple pay. The 42mm is now being prepped for shipment and the other model is still processing even though it was ordered 20s earlier.

Thanks for the info. So that now poses the question if anyone has ordered EITHER a 38 or 42mm SG Sport and another watch and have both preparing to ship?

I didn't get into the Apple online store until 12:04 AM PST, even after refreshing like a lunatic since midnight, but when I did get in I ordered a 38mm SS with black strap and my order confirmation email showed I ordered at 12:06 AM PST and gave me a 4/24-5/8 delivery window.

No charge showing up on my Amex as of 5:09 PM PST.

That is actually a really good question. I ordered mine that exact way, notification at 12:02 PST but still nothing.

My biggest concern is Apple pay defaulted to the wrong billing address so I called and got it fixed so now I am stalking it in case it does't go through despite Apple stating they corrected it for me.

I did it the same way too and they took my payment today and now it's prepping for shipment
