Well we must be on one of these... let's hope UPS charted with Cathay Pacific to bring our watches to Alaska!

EDIT: the theory has potential... looks like the plane is going on to Louisville!

My AW S3 with cellular is scheduled for delivery on Friday, 9/22 but it still says Preparing for shipment. I see so many other who have already gotten shipping tracking information.

This is what I’ve been seeing regarding my 8 plus since Sunday morning

I was *JUST* compiling the screenshots for this! You beat me to the punch, I noticed as I left work but couldn't post till now :p

Definitely have chartered Cathay. I don't know if it is timing, or maybe due to high shipping volume (Samsung is in the area and a lot of UPS cargo flights could be in use by them for the Note 8 launch). There's all sorts of theories, but either way they times have been toooooo perfect of a match, from my departure and arrival from Shanghai to HK, and the HK departure scan, it's gotta be CP that they are using. So crazy!

Here is my progress:

The departure scan and arrival for Shanghai match perfectly to CP2084:

And the departure scan for the current CP flight (according to the HK Airport website):

I think I have either we have entirely lost our minds or we are geniuses for backwards engineering where and what these guys are on ;) We will know when we see a scan-in around 1am EST!
 
Left Hong Kong 3:52 am. Here. Have any of you guys and gals. From this group get a shipped notification from Apple. I haven’t. Just checking. I’m think once they make it to Alaska. Apple will send shipped notifications.

Definitely vote geniuses... Now I'm going to track that flight until it lands to see if I get a scan like a kid waiting for Christmas morning...

42mm Gold Aluminum Pink Sand GPS & Cellular Departure scan from Shanghai... on track for Friday delivery! Why do I find this tracking aspect almost as much fun as getting the device???

I already have my notifications turned on, I will get a push the moment it lands... andddd to spice it up even more, if I happen to be up that late, I am going to tune in on LiveATC to listen to them land *giddy*

I hope we get it soon since as I remember, once Apple sends a shipment notification we can print the pre-sign form. I need to do that tomorrow morning as I'm flying to the west coast for a meeting on Thursday, so I would like to have everything all set for my wife on Friday...

No one at all has received tracking info from Apple. We are searching on our own via different methods. Read back and you will see how to get your tracking info. Apple won’t send out shipped notifications until probably Thursday.

No really true my Apple TV got to Alaska still no shipped notice from Apple by the way my watch left Hong Kong today
 
So the Apple app/site says my AW3 LTE is still preparing to ship and have no tracking number yet, (I already got my new Sport loop - but it is the wrong color so have to return it). I was curious and went to UPS tracking by reference and looks like my Watch is a few states over in Louisville, not too shabby. Still debating on returning it though.
 
anyone that was on flight 83 a couple days ago still showing that it departed Anchorage and "never" landed? Lol...i just want them to scan the pallet, dangit!! just so I know it's in KY...even though I know it landed and it's there. I just like seeing it in the tracking updates ;)

Ours that were stuck in Shanghai are on their way to PANC now, hopefully they will join yours in KY tomorrow morning/afternoon!

Nice gift for your return...
I will be off on Friday. Working Thursday. I was thinking the watches might come a day early but looking at the location status today. It’s definitely a Friday delivery at best.
