Apple Watch Series 2 Pre-Orders! Shipping Estimates, Order Time and Everything Pre-Order

Wallace said:
I just ordered mine today 10/8 and it says delivery between 11/7-11/14. I hope it arrives earlier.

Do you guys know why I can't cancel the order at Apple online anymore? Not that I want to do it but it says "processing" but the shipping date is still far out. Apple should imho allow me to cancel.

You should be able to cancel and it should list cancel items in blue - I think. However, if you have been known to cancel orders, you may have to call.

If you have the email, it should have a link to see complete order details. At the bottom it should have cancel items.
 
why don't you guys order from best buy instead of apple.com and get your watches now instead of waiting? i did an instore pickup order on tuesday and picked up my apple watch 42mm SS series 2 yesterday.

Thanks for the info. Still there is no cancel button and I have never ever canceled an Apple pre-order. No big deal. I was just curious.

If I look at Best Buy it says delivery late November.

Hello everyone,

When selecting "apple store pickup", is there a chance the product arrive before the shown date?
I ask this because standard delivery is not very precise : "3-4 weeks" and Apple Store pickup is very precise (for today : 14 November).

Thank you,

If you have several Best Buy stores in your area, try selecting a different store for same day pickup.

    My order just changed from Processing items to Preparing for shipment. Credit card also charged now.
The delivery date is still 3-4 weeks out (it was 3-4 weeks last Monday when first ordered) but hopefully its progressing faster than that now.

Anyone know how long it usually takes from Preparing for shipment to delivery in Australia?

Just canceled my order with apple and placed one with Best Buy. This wednesday sounds a lot better than the first week of November.

UPDATE: Ordered 10/9 from Best Buy. Got it this morning (10/11).

Thank you for the excellent advice! My wife just went to Macy's and picked up a space gray for me and got 20% off taking the price down to $319. Sales person had no idea what the Apple Watch was, just said they sold 10 since yesterday. This is in the Minnneapolis area.

Consider yourself lucky. I went to Lenox and they couldn't find them and so I drove to Perimeter and they pulled one for me. However I was shown a printout of instructions as to whether or not they can be discounted and even with the activation of a new Macy's card, they cannot. You lucked out.
 
I ordered on the 29th
Apple Watch Series 2, 42mm Gold Aluminum Case with Toasted Coffee/Caramel Woven Nylon Band
and it is still processing for Oct 27 to Nov 4th

I ordered a 42 mm silver aluminum with woven band on the 19th, and it's still processing for the end of October....hasn't moved and inch and doesn't appear as if it will. It's one that doesn't appear to be available locally at other stores either.

I was told the discount will come on the first bill so I actually haven't seen it. I would have purchased anyway but I know my salesperson and will go back and push if I do not see the discount.

I find it funny they couldn't find the watches though. The salesperson I dealt with showed me the stock they had on the computer and knew right where they were in their "safe locker". He had to go into the backroom to get the watch and log the sale into a book.

I was about to order the 42mm gold Series 2. 3-4 weeks wait is so off putting :( im in the UK, not sure where else I'd get one.

Apple tends to give very conservative estimates, many people in this thread have received their watch sooner!

If you live near an Apple Store you can also use this website to check if the watch you want is available for pickup.

Hope it arrives soon, this week would be awesome. 18 hours since it changed to Shipped. No tracking info from courier. Their site says updates may take up to 8 hours to appear. Maybe I'll get some tracking info when it's already on my wrist.
