Finally!!! Preparing to Ship on order placed 9/18. I got this notification about 2pm EDT. It was upgraded to Express Delivery, so assuming Apple support is correct that it’s coming from a stateside warehouse, hopefully it’ll be out for delivery tomorrow.

Called apple to find out why my watch order is taking so long and a couple of accessories I ordered also, accessories isn’t their fault they have shipped them already, our national post is running behind because of covid, apple refunded me the money for the charging brick, told me it’s free.

Lovely service.

Edit, my watch is in Australia already, hopefully should ship any day now.

is it preparing to ship?
 
My S6 shipped out late last week and has an expected delivery date of next week. However, the UPS logs show that it’s been stuck in Shanghai since Oct. 3 and hasn’t moved yet:

Oct 3
Your package is in transit. We're updating plans to schedule your delivery. / The package will be forwarded to a UPS facility in the destination city.
Shanghai, China

Google search seems to suggest it’s either stuck at customs or it is traveling around the world but UPS isn’t updating it correctly. Anyone with a better idea?

My watch 3 weeks ago hung out in Shanghai for 38 hours. My replacement just got there so we will see how the two shipments compare.

They are saying delivery is tomorrow. So, for this order the time to go from Preparing to Ship to Shipped was about 12 hours. According to UPS tracking, the label was created at 11:30pm local time last night, which means it will go out today for Express Delivery tomorrow.

I have large wrists, perhaps from drumming in the past. When I get a band for my Apple Watch, it's been the largest sport loop. I sized out requiring the largest solo loop. Even that was too tight. I went back to the sport loop.
 
I think they are beginning to get caught up on orders
But the issue for some is they are out of order. And I don't understand why it still happens for companies for over a decade. Get your backlog in order before you start shipping new orders

Yea I find it weird as to how I placed an order on 10/1/2020 for SBTi AW 6 navy blue sports band and only Monday night it went to PFS and for someone who ordered on launch day still has their order stuck at Processing.
