the band still not ship ?

Nope 🥺 our national postal service have been terrible since Melbourne lockdown, some people items are getting delayed by 2-3 weeks, tracking not updating lol, luckily my watch came via tnt express.

Apple have been amazing, even though it’s our national post fault, they gave me the charging brick free of charge.

Told me to call back Tuesday if my band hasn’t arrived. 😁🥺

any comment or opinion about buying AW6 at non-apple.com vendors such as BestBuy, etc? is it the same or there are drawbacks?

The only difference I'm aware of is that the band selection is very limited. For example, aluminum watches at Best Buy and Amazon only have sport bands as options (the original sport band style with the slot and pin).

Yes, and they have longer return windows, too. Amazon's is 30 days (not sure about Best Buy), but Apple is 14 days.
 
So the the SBTi that I have ordered, which the label was created 9/8/20 just left incheon, South Korea on its way to Alaska. I did get text saying it would be delivered on 9/14
 
22 days after ordering the watch it's advanced to P2S status. Yay! Just wanted to share my joy. I'll be totally satisfied if it gets here to Florida by the 14th.

AW6 prepare to ship.jpg

On announcement day I had originally ordered a 44mm Aluminum Space Grey with the Charcoal braided solo loop, but after almost a week estimated delivery was still mid-November (currently early December). So I cancelled and switched to a standard Nike combo which moved delivery up by a whole month. For sure the braided solo loops are causing a lot of the delays. I guess Apple way underestimated how popular they'd be. I like them a lot and still may eventually get one for when I'm not working out.

*UPDATE*
Two hours after the above post I got the tracking info, the watch is in Lebanon, TN and will be delivered on Monday. :p

Does Antons recive there order with braided loop?

I ordered d. 19 September and estimated delivery is 24 November. So it’s 10 weeks delivery time, pretty crazy.
 
Does that mean we won't be track our iPhones via China :(

Pre-orders are likely will be coming from China but maybe down the road when customers order iPhone, it could ship from one of the apple stores, I think it's more likely for those who don't have an Apple store in their city, and if that's the case and based on their address provided for delivery, they may have the closest apple store ship it out rather then the warehouse in California, or Tennessee or PA.
 
Mine's now shipped, orderd on sept 16th, estimated delivery oct 19th.
Anyone think it's arryving earlier? Shipping with TNT.

As far as Switzerland deliveries go, once it leaves Pudong Int.l Airport it should take around 5 days for it to arrive. I don't have the TNT details any more but it went to NL and from there GVA and then within a day it was delivered.

[EDIT: mine didn't stop in Shanghai but then there was a "problem" on the way and on the next status it was already in the Netherlands.]

Ordered mine a day after yours and received it on 29th September. (bi au i d Schwiiz)
Which model did you pick?
