Both of mine have been sitting in Shanghai since 9-21 10:09PM (their time) with the note "your package is in transit. We're updating plans to schedule your delivery...", but UPS MyChoice shows tomorrow as the delivery date?!
Exactly my dilemma.

Mine says 10:10 but no delivery until Friday maybe mine will come earlier once it leaves
 
I'm going to order that band when my watch arrives - it's a beautiful combo! Right now the store shows a November date :(
I ordered the same Baltic Blue as you but that gave me a November 12th delivery. So, on the advice of one of our forum friends on here I ordered the brown bracelet with it and ordered the Baltic blue separately. That arrives November 11th.

@batristain Wow! I feel lucky to have that October date then! Hopefully it moves up soon.

@themaestro - Smart thinking! The combo is just beautiful! Glad I was not wrong ;)

I am totally confused by the different paths these shipments are taking. Mine (and at least 3 others among our members) spent at least 4 days and 9 hours in customs in Shanghai, while others that left Jiaxing days after ours did sailed through to Anchorage, where they seem to be going through customs. I’m just hoping that clearing customs in Shanghai means that we’re done and don’t need to wait on that again once they get to the states! Very strange process.
I would guess yours was over the weekend, maybe the packages move slower over a weekend.

It left Jiaxing on 9/18 and got stuck in “export” in Shanghai. Other scans I’ve seen here did not get customs clearance while in Shanghai, but got that in Anchorage. That‘s what’s inconsistent about it — I might guess that they shipped a ton of watches on 9/18 to Shanghai, got totally overwhelmed with the quantity, and shifted customs clearance to Alaska for the ones arriving later? The watches that went to Alaska without customs clearance all came out of Jiaxing a couple of days after that 9/18 group. They don’t have that dreaded “your package is delayed at export and is awaiting release from customs” message in Shanghai.
 
I’m parked in the 11:01pm Anchorage state as well. This morning I got a my choice email from UPS giving me tomorrow as delivery, but right now I’m not 100% hopeful.

That said, I’m in Cincinnati so if it can get out of Louisville today it might, just might, make it here tomorrow.

Not holding my breath, though.

I'm in the same boat plane, here in St. Louis, but I'm confident our watches will be delivered tomorrow as promised. Remember, Apple is giving UPS a lot of business, so I expect they'll do whatever is needed to meet their commitment. That being said, I'm still holding my breath and checking for updates frequently.
 
Part of the departed from anchorage at 11:01 PM group here. I just spoke with UPS and they told me that my package is actually in my delivery state (NJ) being sorted for delivery tomorrow.
Seriously? You called and they could look up more current info? How‘d we (I) not know about this?!

Anyone get their graphite Stainless Steel on time? Or experiencing excessive delays?

My Graphite watch still stuck at processing. Not sure if it's the band or the watch. Feel like its going to be delayed.

is yours showing anything beyond the requested date change? I think that because we did that, ours wont update again until it touches down in the U.S. I remember this happening on my macbook pro from apple
Original expected date was Thursday 09/24/2020.
I pad $5 yesterday to have it changed to Wednesday 09/23/2020...
Now it's showing expected delivery date to be on a Friday 09/25/2020. So much for paying that $5. I think they are behind and it's too busy at the airport. Shipping wise.
 
Cologne people: UPS hub at Cologne airport is usually sorting the parcels between 11pm and 2am CET for further destinations. We should see an update soon (it is 10:52pm CET now)
