Hello Everyone! I don't post much but do alot of lurking. Just got home from picking up my S3 Gold Cellular with Pink Sport Loop at our closest Apple Store which is about an hour away. Had one ordered on line but wasn't going to ship until 10/30 so I've been watching iStock and finally caught this one so cancelled my on line order. Since I had to pick it up, I just let them set it up. I was concerned about my Att connection being a problem but it went through right away and I tested by making a couple of calls, one on speaker and one on airpods. Only snag was that it didn't want to pair with my airpods but started over and it worked the 2nd time. I love the Sport Loop. It is so comfortable! Not thrilled with the new gold. Oh well. Its so much faster than my original series and the call quality is much better than I expected. Hope everyone enjoys their new watches and hope this still waiting will get theirs soon!

Still stuck in “export scan” hell!:mad:

Been 3 days so far...:(

10/16 delivery is in severe doubt.
 
+1 for snagging one of the 42mm SBSS that are in stores all over the US and Canada now. (so , if anyone is sitting with an order not yet at PFS, you may want to reserve one for pickup at your local Apple store and cancel your existing order).

Picked up one here in Houston yesterday. That had a few in stock and a few Milanese as well.
 
Ordered my silver aluminum with fog band on 9/27, status changed to preparing for shipment last night and woke up to the shipped email this morning, suppose to arrive on Thursday!! (Thursday seems so far away!)

On Wednesday I snagged a 38mm space gray with lte at Target. You just have to keep checking daily. They only had about 3 in stock.
 
Just ordered the 42mm Space Gray Dark Olive Sport Loop at an AT&T store. Estimated delivery date was 10/27-11/3. 30 minutes later it already says preparing to ship, so I hope that means it’s actually going out that quick.

Mine's the exact same status. Supposed delivery for 10/16 is in serious doubt.

I couldn't wait anymore so I ordered one to pick up in store this morning when I got an istocknow alert last night lol!

Yeah I just saw one pop up at my local Apple Store but I’m waiting to see how this order plays out. Regardless my original delivery date was supposed to be 10/27-11/2 so early next week is fine for me.

Is that in China? Mine was like that too. It's going to be delivered 3-4 days later than predicted now. Still earlier than Apple quoted, but the wait is soooooooo long and borrrrrring......
 
So last update:

  • Shanghai, CN
  • 10/15/2017 8:04 A.M.
  • Departure Scan
Scheduled delivery 10/16. I think it’s on UPS flight 85 which flies from Shanghai straight to Anchorage. I may get it Monday after all!

Last update:

  • Anchorage, AK, US
  • 10/15/2017 4:09 A.M.
  • Departure Scan
  • 10/15/2017 12:23 A.M.
  • Arrival Scan
  • Anchorage, AK, US
  • 10/14/2017 9:00 P.M.
  • Departure Scan
  • 10/14/2017 6:30 P.M.
  • Arrival Scan
So it’s definitely UPS flight 85 scheduled to arrive at Louisville, Ky 1:57 pm EDT. Still on time for Monday 10/16 delivery. I think a lot of people’s watches are on this flight.

ETA: Ooops just got an email saying the delivery has been rescheduled for Thursday 10/19:mad:! That sucks..,:(

Yeah very weird. MyUPS says 10/19 but the tracking website says 10/16. It may be a glitch in their system but I’ll find out tomorrow I guess.
