Apple Watch Series 3 Pre-Order Thread

[techdude13]

Well, I picked a local UPS store after being told on here it wouldn't delay it. Now I can't change it back to having it delivered to my home. When I hit the "change delivery location" it only offers to change location or deliver another day. That's what I get for trusting people on the internet lol.

When you made the change it should have told you the date it would be available.

On UPS’ website, it says at some UPS locations early pickup is available - meaning those stores open at 8:30 and the packages are available then.

It even says that packages WILL be available on the day of scheduled delivery, tho changes made within 24 hours of scheduled delivery are not guaranteed.

So you should be just fine.

Does anyone know who the courier will be in the UK? Apple chat rep said DPD or UK Mail (who usually provide time slots). Asking because I also have an appointment to upgrade to iPhone 8 on Friday when my Watch is being delivered.

EDIT: also, until the change has been made, you can change it to a UPS CC (customer center) if you’re worried. Also if you call 1-800-PICK-UPS you can see if they can cancel it from their end.

Since I'm getting my new S3 SS 42mm I'm selling my S0 Black Sport 42MM. It was replaced with refurbished unit in April so it's in mint condition. What would you ask for it?

 

[ZebraDude]

WOO HOO! My Apple Watch is moving!

Does it work for EU orders? Or is it US only?

 

[Aston441]

Apple should, for one l once, quit being so full of themselves, give up the bravado, and just let us have the watches. Making us wait five days is asshattery.

Was designed for US, but shouldn’t be too hard to convert to EU.

Hey there!!! Nice to see you too! I ordered the SS in 38MM with the white band. We will probably be seeing each other with the X launch... hopefully my order doesn't get canceled.
[doublepost=1505731826][/doublepost]

I hope it's a conservative date... I'm going try the store on Friday just in case. I ordered the 38MM in SS with white band. Hopefully we with both have ours by the end if the month.

I ordered the same model. I'll also try the store on Friday after work.

Nice! At least yours is here and the voyage is almost over. What time did your order go through Friday morning?

 

[ideal.dreams]

My watches arrived in Louisville a little after midnight Eastern early this morning. It looks like they'll sit there secured until Thursday so no watches accidentally get sent to customers early.

Right at 3:00AM CT. I drifted off and almost missed out.. I got lucky I guess!

The delivery date did stay the same when I switched it. We'll see what happens. Thanks

Yup. Mines sitting in KY also

I chose store pickup during preorder and I am having trouble tracking by reference. Does in store pickup shows ups milestones?

My order status still shows order in progress. I ordered at 4:02 am est

No, you won't be able to track in UPS. I did in store pick up for my 7+ last year and I didn't get any updates until the day of when my order went from "in progress" to "available for pickup".

 

[adub35]

Has anyone that ordered through Verizon been able to track their order? When I ordered my 42 SG I was given a Sep. 22nd date but am not able to find any tracking information. This is the first time I've ordered something on launch day not through Apple.

 

[Beerstalker]

The UPS app is only showing the one I ordered from Apple so far. My guess is Apple ships a bunch of them to Verizon, and then Verizon ships them out to customers who ordered thru them. Where if you ordered from Apple it ships directly from them to you. That's why we can see the Apple order and not the Verizon one.

I'm guessing Verizon will get theirs and start shipping them out Tuesday/Wednesday and then they will start showing up for us.

So kind of a dumb question... but I orderd both the iPhone 8 Plus and the Series 3 watch. I searched UPS for tracking reference through my phone number. Is there any way I can tell which tracking is for what product? I think the screen grab is for the iPhone as it just shows as shipping label created.

Preordered through TMobile the 42MM Gold with Pink Sand band, Expected shipping 10/30-11/11

If you can’t see the reference number section at the bottom, sign up for UPS MyChoice. Then look at the tracking and it should show the reference section (I suggest signing up for MyChoice anyways since it will automatically how the other package once the label is created )

The reference number, for the watch, should have the web order number (Wxxxxx) minus the last two digits. If it has this it’s likelu your watch, but verify by cross referencing your Apple order

Mine is in Anchorage right now and UPS says I have a scheduled delivery for Friday, but when I check the tracking on the package, it says it will be delivered on Wednesday! I know in the past, the carrier would hold the package until Apple says they wanted it delivered. But recently, with all the information carriers provide about shipments, there's no special instructions saying it can not the delivered sooner. Since so many of us are seeing our packages so close to home, this early, maybe we will get them sooner. My logic is obviously driven by wishful thinking, but the clues are there. Below is the delivery status UPS shows for mine.
