Good morning, Eindhoven-gang! 😅 Anyone with a update?

Apple website still say delivery tomorrow, Apple Store-app is for delivery on monday and DHL Express-tracking actually says „Huh? Apple Watch?“ as the status is stuck since last friday... 🥺👉👈
Same for me.... My wife’s SE (with delivery date of oct 1) was already delivered yesterday:/

Still same here. last time my MBP on DHL was 4 or 5 days after shipping before the DHL tracking woke up, it then delivered next day.

No updates, the order details has deliver date of september 29th and status SHIPPED, while on the DHL site it says

Shipment information received

I'm confused! Where is my watch? Reading other messages here, I think it is somewhere between China and Europe but why it takes so long with no informations? I find it a little sad to not follow all the movements like UPS :(
 
we
UK order - AW6 Aluminium Space Grey with Sports Band ordered on Monday 21st September. Delivery between 20-27 October.

Not at all impressed by that, last thing I bought near to an initial release from Apple was a long time ago, however ordering a Late 2013 MBP 15" in a built to order spec on the first day you could order them only took 5-6 days from ordering until receipt.

Hopefully it will come earlier than the expected, but certainly not holding my breath.
good Luck

Still nothing. It’s been like this since 18th September. God knows, why it’s taking so long. I mean, what’s the point in providing a track delivery function when it doesn’t track from the source. Sigh.
 
Is there anyway of tracking DHL between China and Eindhoven? google suggests not, I tried tracking DHX (DHL freight) but that only finds one plane in the air today (so I suspect its wrong).

My watch is in Shanghai currently under "export scan" since 6:27 AM local time. Do you know how much will it take from this point for it to finally leave China?

Can vary, but I think that means it's ready to go, so it'll be on the next flight. Unlike us Eindhoven DHL fun-sters, you'll get lots of updates as it moves about :)

I'm heading to Europe too! Maybe we'll all reunite in Eindhoven, hopefully later today 😆
 
I see you Eindhoven gang. I looked to see if there are any dhl planes ariving at Eindhoven airport, none for today or tomorrow. It’s a total guess that they will arive by plane or at eindhoven or by dhl at all. I wish there was a way to get a tracking code that leads to dhl.

but what does the delivery date say with you? I mean I get still 2nd of october.

When I ordered I got 2-6 October, then when shipped, Apple said October 1st.
At first UPS showed "September 28" but since the Watch arrived in Shanghai it says "we're rescheduling".
 
National holiday in china next week :/ I think it's officially just Thursday but don't they take the week off?
 
Woo I just got a "Departed from Facility", at 10.21 AM local time. So maybe I'm finally leaving Shanghai -and China.
Anyone with me?
 
Today is a good day :D

Just as expected it made the 4 am flight from Cologne to Stockholm and is now on the delivery truck. Any other Europeans getting theirs today?

This is great news! Am I correct or you were still in China yesterday morning? It appears that I'm leaving Shanghai right now, but I don't think I'll be in Europe anytime soon.

I think they have way too many items to ship and there wasn’t enough cargo planes from China to US. That’s why people started to see their items go though Taiwan and South Korea, which is pretty abnormal. Mine was there for 2 days before it got redirected to Taiwan, then 2 days from there to AK then to the destination and got delivered.

Interestingly, both my Hermès watch and a separate Hermès band were all shipped from US with FedEx instead of from China unlike my other items.

The tracking starts from Eindhoven so I suspect the shipment is managed by another logistics company so the transport from China could be done with a charter or a freight flight. The DHL Hub is in Leipzig which is a little bit far from Eindhoven

Indeed, this is the usual setup with DHL. Unclear if they use their own planes or third party to get it to Leipzig/eindhoven. With passenger flights reduced at the moment, I guess capacity is down as there's less spare passenger plane space available.

Local time it was yes. It left Shanghai at 6:32 AM local time on the 23rd. Thanks to China living in the future (well, 6 hours ahead of CEST) there are a few more hours in a day for shipments moving west.

This is my complete tracking history. Maybe it can be of help to you guys still waiting. An interesting note is that the label was created after the origin scan. Could be a glitch in the system.

Thanks, it helps. I'm currently at "Departed from facility" that you had at 6.32 AM, but I'm a little behind since I have it at 10.21 AM. No idea to where I'm heading at right now.
