Ordered 44mm Blue Alum with charcoal braided solo on Oct-1. Expected delivery Nov23-Dec7 :(
band selection seem to affect the delivery: simpler the band faster the delivery seems.
The "fastest" band seems to be the Sport. The "slowest" is the braided solo.
Does anyone observe the same?
Cheers!

Mine is now in Alaska! UPS has no arrival date but Apple says tomorrow. I'm not sure it will make it by tomorrow. I don't want to wait until Monday.
Likely Monday 😂😂

Once it departs Alaska, then to Louisville, KY. You will need that import scan. Once import scan then it is on it's way to you.

Mine's in AK, too. ETA is Monday according to Apple; Tuesday according to UPS tracking. :rolleyes:
 
That’s the worst! It’s soooo close yet takes forever to arrive.
Which is one of the reason why I always request a hold for pick up at my nearest facility. This way I don't have to wait for the driver and I can just pick it up at my convenience when it's ready for pick up.
 
For what it's worth, once my watch cleared customs in AK it was out and delivered the following day. Tracking was showing it sitting in Anchorage late the previous evening. I was worried but darned if UPS didn't honor the delivery commitment.

Is that usually faster? I never tried that option.
 
Monday is Columbus Day. I’d imagine they’d still deliver that day but I’m not 100% sure on that. They could be off that day.
I've never heard of any business not operating on Columbus Day.

From UPS website:

The following is a list of holidays that the UPS typically considers non-shipping holidays:
  • New Year's Day*
  • Memorial Day.
  • Independence Day.
  • Labor Day.
  • Thanksgiving Day.
  • Christmas Eve*
  • Christmas Day*
  • New Year's Eve*
* when holidays fall on a weekend, they may be observed the preceding or following day as well.
 
My was originally scheduled for delivery 10/14-10/21. Then it said 10/11-14. Now Apply says 10/9 but UPS has no anticipated date. As of 12:08am it left south korea sorting facility. I'm hoping I still get it tomorrow but I doubt it.
I had this same situation - apple quoted a date before UPS showed it (was just getting a UPS message they were working on a delivery date). It arrived EXACTLY the day Apple quoted so....I feel good about your chances!

I went ahead and cancelled the order (for delivery by "Nov23-Dec7" ) at apple.com.
Reordered the same watch with the sport loop and got 30-day better delivery commit by "Oct23-Oct30" :) :) .
Cheers AWers!
