Hmmm still nothing happening in Eindhoven... I guess 28-09-2020 seems accurate:/

Came here to see if anyone was in the same shoes as I am. Shipping with DHL, Saturday midnight "shipment information received" in Eindhoven, crickets since... Sept 25-29 shipping window, hoping for 25th 🙏🏻

Same here, Apple says Sept 28th (but know that's never updated), never had date from UPS, always check back later or information unavailable. Just received update from UPS with September 24th scheduled delivery date

Apple says The 28th as well but mine is still saying "EXPORT SCAN" in Shanghai. About 24 hours and still no movement and no update from the export scan. Wonder why some are getting updates and others are not
 
Was just left outside my door. Didn’t even ring the doorbell.

Got my 44mm Blue Cellular w/ Braided Loop this morning. 4 days earlier than Apple forcasted - like a bunch of others here. Arrived in about 3 days from shipment across thousands of miles (China, Alaska, Kentucky, to Cali) to be chucked in my porch by UPS. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Glad I got Apple Care+!

My first order, which I have to return because I ordered the wrong size solo loop, has been stuck on “export scan” in Shanghai since 9/21 at 9:56 AM or 9/20 at 9:56 PM EDT. It should have arrived somewhere on the east coast by now. I have no estimated delivery time frame anymore. Most flights I’ve seen were heading for Anchorage or Los Angeles. I haven’t seen any flights heading for PA/NJ/NY area. My second order with the correct band is still en route to Shanghai as of 10:09 EDT.

It's a possibility Air China might be carrying our watches???

No, Air China is a commercial passenger flight. Apple will use a freight/cargo plane to deliver the AW because these planes are designed to carry cargo and carry lots of cargo at once. Whereas, a passenger flight has very limited space for cargo because most of the plane's volume is dedicated to carrying passengers and not cargo.

I hope that clarifies things.

The flights go from China to South Korea, then to Anchorage AK, then to Louisville KY. Then from KY they get sorted and sent to their final destinationsl.

Thank you for clarification :) hoping my AW travels with you this time of the year.
 
Not all Air China flights are passenger flights. For example, Air China 1077 and 1011 are both freight flights (they both use Boeing 777 Freighter aircraft).

Thanks for clearing that up. Looks like there are two UPS flights landing in Louisville, Kentucky in about an hour. Hopefully I should be getting an update soon.
