Apple Watch Order Statuses Shifting to 'Preparing for Shipment'
- Thread starter MacRumors
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
When did you preorder? People on the other thread have said Apple reps have told them that the factories work all weekend. So I would assume that Sunday (since Sunday is Monday for China and those areas) and Monday would be pretty busy for shipments. Unless you ordered WAY after the preorder date, I don't see why it would take quite that long.
Guys I need your help and I need it NOW.
My watch says shipped (as of 3 hours ago) but ups says the tracking number has no associated package.
Is it normal? Does it take time for it to show up?

What do you think? My tracking will come?
----------
Does your tracking number pull up in UPS? Mine says the same as yours on Apples email and website but UPS still doesn't have info on my tracking

probably means they are still updating the information in the system, I see that a lot on other packages where I get notice an item has shipped but UPS / FedEx don't update their system so the tracking number says there's nothing there, typically after 24hours then it'll reflect.
My tracking doesn't show up in UPS either and I also received the shipping email from Apple about 3 hours ago too.
Please don't worry - it's just that until it takes a bit for it to get in the system. The tracking will update soon. If you have My UPS you can see the calendar and it will populate when the tracking is updated in the system. It took a while for mine to do that, but it did last night.
Thank you sweetheart,
I called Apple and the lady said "sometimes ups will mess up the number and it causes a misdelivery. After the 8th we can start an investigation and file a claim."
Talk about doomsday scenarios!
I have a bad feeling we are looking at a 8/5 delivery
I really hope I am wrong....

These ******* clowns
Get your act together!!!!
When did it change to shipped on your order status? Maybe I didn't quite get the full picture. And yeah, that Apple person is an *******. And if true that's ridiculous. Normally when I get a tracking number the UPS website will say "a shipping label has been created" blah blah blah, and then update when it's actually been scanned. Or whatever. It updated faster than I expected on mine, simply because usually it takes a good day for it to update.
Anyhoo. If it's not been super long then I'd say it's just a matter of time.

James, it is so damn frustrating that they don't inform their support team. They are training counslors, not support staff. Their people only ever say "oh I can see how that would be frustrating. I'd want that fixed too. Boy that sounds stressful, I could definitely see how that would frustrate you. Blah blah blah."

It's funny. Since Monday:
Refresh bank account for cc charges- 100 times a day.
When it finally charges....
Refresh the apple website for "prepared to ship" 100 times a day...
When it finally updates...
Refresh Apple website for "shipped" 100 times a day...
When it says shipped...
Refresh UPS website for tracking number 100 times a day...
When tracking number is updated...
Refresh My Ups for "real" delivery date 100 times a day.
For something we paid so much for... We sure are committing a lot of time and energy for free in order for Apple to keep their secrets and their staff in the dark.
Before the haters start. I know. No one told us to buy it and no one told us to do any of this. No one said to be impatient. But we are. So whatever.
And one final observation: there is a thread on MacRumors about people's first impressions with their new watch...
It's significantly leaning towards "meh"
I mean I am truly surprised how many people said it wasn't worth the money or hassle. Many people saying its not just the buggyness you expect from a 1st Gen launch, it's also the realization that the money wasn't really spent towards anything significant as far as "life changing."
One user said 'now that I have it, and I'm looking at the stainless steel, I'm thinking I'm going to stress over scratches and dings and resale value [because I'm already ready for the next one] because I know I should have gotten the sport based on it being such a new product and likely to be upgraded soon'
I'd like to think these folks are jaded a holes. But truthfully, I am worried that I'll feel like the money would be better spent elsewhere if the anxiety of keeping it "safe" from damage or theft is greater than the joy it brings me.
I dunno. Angry people, Please don't jump down my throat. This is just stream of consciousness and me thinking through and analyzing reviews and expectations.

You SO deserved this. You've been super stressed. So happy for you bud!

Ughhhh...
I'm in KY (Lexington to be exact).
I was in Chicago on April 10th though. I stayed up and ordered my watch (got my confirmation at 2:04am CST).
I ordered a 42mm SG/BSB Sport model.
Still processing and no change or charge as of this writing 6:42PM on Saturday night.
This is so frustrating. Come on

Thanks man.
I purchased the sport for the very reasons you laid out above. Gen 1 is for discovery to see how well it will fit into my lifestyle. Once I determine I can't live without one then Gen 2 will be stainless.
Precisely my thinking. Though I am not ever one to rule out returns.
I tried the new MacBook, returned it. Almost immediately. I need a light notebook for my business. Was aiming for the MacBook Air till the MacBook was announced. Now I'm in a position to go back to Air or wait for gen 2 MacBook.
I would put it on my business credit and make payments if the gen 2 MacBook (in space gray to match watch and iPhone of course) is Amazing, otherwise the MacBook airs are SO much lower than they used to be. Hell its about the same entry price as a SS watch with link band, if not less. Yet they are packed with AS much as a 13inch retina pro. Best value at Apple is the Air. Hands down. It makes the watch seem grossly overpriced. (And iPads too for that matter)
