My order still says preparing for shipment. I'm screwed aren't I? lol
Nah no way. You still have a little longer to get some movement if you are in the September 22nd category. Apple is good at sticking to the date it gives you

Does anybody have in store pickup?
My friend does and he hasn't seen any movement yet.

Mine has not moved either but they charged my card. Anybody else card get charged yet in general?
 
My UPS tracking says "At request of the shipper, authorized release is not yet available". And my UPS says it coming from Burlington, a city just outside of Toronto from a company called AI Logistics. So maybe the Toronto area orders are being stored by this logistics company until Thursday.
Anything shipped from an Apple hub is AI (Apple, Inc.) They ship with AI as the name so as to not draw attention to the box.

were you on flight 83? my UPS tracking still shows that it departed anchorage, no arrival scan in KY. i mean, i know it's there..the pallet probably just hasn't been scanned but curious what everyone else's status from flight 83 is! :)
Lucky! Mine still shows an arrival scan in Shanghai - people with later shipped watches (mine shipped 9/16) are moving through to KY, but mine still is supposedly sitting in CN. I am praying it is actually in KY and just crappy updates on the scanning. Not that it makes much of a difference! lol

This happened to me last year, card was charged but no change in status. Things will be happening for you very soon

On the Apple store side, mine says the same "preparing for shipment." But the Sherlock Holmes' around here have showed me how to track it down and it's actually sitting in the UPS hub in KY right now.
What is this and how?? I need to learn this skill:)

Look back a few pages, but short and sweet:
Sign up for UPS MyChoice, if you haven't already.
Sign in - your package should show up.

If you don't want to, search by reference (go to https://www.ups.com/WebTracking/track?loc=en_US and select by Reference on the left). Then search with the phone number associated with your account/order or your Web Order # (Wxxxxx) minus the last 2 digits.

Mine is still in Shanghai as well.

You could say, it might there till.... Noon?

I planned on buying mine in the store so I could use a gift card. Now shipping is at 3-4 weeks so I ordered online in case I can't get it in the store anytime soon. Bummer. I wasn't paying attention this year and didn't expect there to be this much demand.

THANK YOU -- I though, to subscribe to UPS My Choice, I had to wait for them to send me a letter so I could confirm this was my real address (I had to do this in the past).

I'm happy to say that I was right, Apple won't ship my Apple Watch on September 25th like they were telling me, but on September 22nd!

Americans are already able to track their orders. Usually we in the UK (and I believe the rest of the EU) have to wait a little longer to see tracking information - I don't know exactly why but it seems to be the same thing every year. I also understand that this doesn't mean our products HAVEN'T shipped yet, just that we can't track them until a later stage, so it's nothing to worry about.

Someone on another thread suggested that this is because they transfer from UPS to another courier for the final delivery. Bit annoying as I have lived tracking Apple items from China previously.

What are the odds of getting the watch a day early (9/21). I’m traveling on Friday and would love to take my new watch with me.

Between Zero and one in a billion!
 
My watch is still sitting in shanghai... it's been about 30 hours. Let's get some movement to keep me excited!
I'm in the same boat as you. Got to Shanghai at 12:01 the other day and is still sitting there. Hopefully it will get on a plane soon to the U.S.
 
Since my Nike edition won't be out for a couple weeks yet I'll look forward to unboxing videos that will pop up on YouTube

I ordered the Nike watch last year, and had to wait till after the normal watches delivered. This year I've ordered the normal S3 version, and ordered a Nike band to go with it. I'm wondering if I restore my current watch to the new one whether the Nike stuff will copy across? It doesn't matter to me as I'm not a runner, just interested!
 
Anyone have similar scans to this? So frustrating to see people's who got shipped later (9/17 or 9/18) with more progress. Yes, I know I am getting it on time and no, I am not nuts. I just hate when systems like this don't work properly, since I love seeing the progress of my package and the planes it is on (AVNerd).

Just had the worst bit of luck...lost my wallet at the movies. Ordered 2 apple watches, one for me and one for the wife, for in-store pickup on Friday. Cards used for purchase show pending, but the purchase hasn't cleared yet. As long as I get a new license, does anyone think I'll have a hard time picking up the watches Friday? Trying to cancel all the cards now, but hoping the banks let the pending charges through if I verify they aren't fraudulent. Man, this sucks.

Techdude, haven't seen any scans so you are in a better boat than me. Here is screen shot of what I am seeing and I did sign up for MyUPS like you instructed earlier in this thread :) it says delivery 9/22 so I'm not concerned but I placed my order at 12:02 PST. So just frustrating

Yeah there's plenty of time before Friday... as long as it leaves Shanghai by Wednesday, you'll have no issues getting it Friday. The key is for it to make it to Louisville by Thursday night/ early Friday morning so it can be distributed to hubs across the country in the wee hours of Friday morning, to be put on a truck for delivery.
 
My watches are still in China. 6:08 arrival. No departure never updated since yesterday around. Anyone else saw movement from the 6:08 Shanghai
