Yep thats the same status and perceived delivery date as mine. Waiting for shipping to England. It will be next week before we hear anything as those that are expecting delivery on the 25th and 28th are only just getting notifications from DHL Eindhoven.
Yeah, I'm finally coming to terms with the fact that I will most likely get it on my expected delivery date. I will still check my DHL tracker at least every hour because I love to torture myself and I live in hope. 😂
 
Update: 44mm SBTi with black leather loop. Ordered 09/21 around 2:30pm (PST). Got my Shipping noticed from Apple late last night with UPS tracking. They haven’t updated delivery date as of this post.

Those in the know, I suspect this where it sits in limbo for a few days in Shanghai?

This will go fast. It took from Jiaxing over Shanghai, Korea and germany about 3 days. Got delivered today and label was created at September 21st
 
I do see 7 more flights btwn Anchorage and Louisville for today/tonight, so holding out hope the 2:21 am crew gets the heck out of there soon if we haven't already!!
 
My Graphite SS with Milanese loop (9/25-9/30) which had showed no movement since launch day just moved from Processing to Preparing to Shipped in a matter of an hour. Coming from California via FedEx for delivery tomorrow!
Sounds like the warehouse have now plenty in stock apparently if it's coming directly from Cali.
 
Of course they would need to actually *have* the standard configs in stock domestically. I did see a few scattered reports in this thread of shipments via fedex, meaning domestic, but most were from China, even for standard configs.

But I'm sure Apple's domestic warehouses are also getting shipments of various configs from China. Maybe even on the same flights as everyone else's watches.
 
confirmed with a friend on the inside that if you used the design creator and didn't get a non-standard, odds are that it will come from China. If not, it will come domestic.
My 40 mm Red watch shipped from China and the red watch only has standard configs... only choice is red Sport Band or Red Sport Loop. Red Solo Loop and Red Solo Braided Loop release some time in October. Apple doesn’t trust Red Watch buyers to choose a band that doesn’t clash with Red? Lol

I'm in the 2:21AM crew for my watch as well. I haven't gotten a scan out yet, but fingers crossed it's either on the current flight out or the next.

Originally I had a UPS delivery date for today, but Apple has been saying SEP 28-OCT 1 the whole time.

Apple has said mine will be Sept. 28th for several days, but yesterday UPS said it would be 9/25 before it changed to tentative.

I no longer have a UPS delivery date, it just says "In Transit" :/ Hoping that it's tomorrow. I live within a ~5-6 hour drive of the UPS facility in Kentucky so that might help.
 
2:21am crew here! Just saw the departure scan. Delivery date updated to tomorrow the 25th. Was tentative until now.
