Apple Watch Series 6 Shipping/Order Status Thread

Ordered AW6 SBTi with Navy Blue sport bands on 10/1/2020 and now went to preparing for shipment. This is a gift for my dad but pretty interesting after 6 days this went to prep for shipping.
Hey,
I had ordered a 44mm silver aluminum/sport loop with cellular on the 25th. It has been “processing” ever since, like many here! I checked the Apple store today and they had an identical model showing with an available delivery date for today, so I canceled the old order and ordered this one. Current status is “preparing for shipment.” Must be my lucky day!! Here’s to hoping it actually gets delivered 😉

I just spoke to someone at Apple regarding my order from Sept 17 / estimated arrival Oct 16 - 23. I was told that it's still coming from overseas.
Seems very strange to me that they don't appear to be shifting earlier orders to domestic shipping, considering that the stores in the US are now getting more stock. It also appears from other comments in this thread that later orders are being shipped domestically.
I may just cancel and re-order to do an in-store pickup since stock appears to be plentiful around me. I was assured that the trade-in would still work fine if I cancel the order (as others in this thread also mentioned).

dammm lucky you areMy watch is now preparing to ship
still processing you are from switzerland ?
And this is a lot of places at the beginning of rushes. The carriers do it. The IRS does it. Has noone ever heard of FIFO??
This is seeming to be the way anymore except for people with no close store open or close store period. I was supposed to have in store launch day pickup for 11PM, but literally the morning of pickup they sent a delayed email. Was able to get one off the site in store the next day. The delayed one said it was supposed to be available by the weekend but wasn't until Monday or Tuesday. Just let it cancel since it wouldn't let me cancel on the app or site
Depends, usually once the tracking number is generated and assigned to you, they then change.
Like, will it be today maybe? or will it spend days and days at "preparing to ship" like it did in the processing stage?
we don't know, the PFS can change anytime, it can change later today, it can change tomorrow, the day after, who knows. I've seen it don't change till your package gets passed the custom. Who knows.
really? it went to PFS and then you got the watch in 24 hours? Nice. I hope mine goes like that, it just went to PFS this morning.
Ordered on 9-24 with a window of 10-2 to 10-9. Checked this morning and still processing. 30 minutes ago received an email from Fed-Ex that package was on the way and watch has already been picked up. Order was still showing preparing to ship. I think there is a lag in the order updating. Delivery tomorrow by 8pm.

Well stores are closed too. Hopefully we see a movement this week.
Unless you have stores in your area that are open, but I'd rather order them online for delivery at this point due to this pandemic.
Yep 🥺
Apple stores have been closed in Melbourne for 8 weeks if not more. 🥺
Just about every other retail store here is offering click and collect, typical apple has to be different, why not offer click and collect also. 🤦♂️
Last time I order apple products online. 🥺
Rub it in more why don't ya. 😂🥺
Nice work on the quick delivery.
While me over here, watch no movement, watch band, delayed, charger delayed. 🥺
I blame Dan Andrews.
