Germany here. Ordered on 6th October an SE with green braided loop, estimated arrival date: 11 December :eek: I might as well cancel it
I got my very first apple watch (Series 0 SS with black leather band) just days before flying to Germany. I walked into the Berlin Apple store to check out the SS band and they were shocked to see one in the wild since they were not available in Europe yet. I loved the band and got one on my return. We have no Apple store on Kauai so I never get to see anything in person first.
 
The Import Scan won't happen until it arrives in Louisville, KY. I have a Wednesday delivery for the watch. I just checked my tracking and looks like it already arrived in Louisville KY. I think it's possible for the import scan to come through tomorrow (it's known 2-3 days as well) and on it's way for delivery and a possible chance it will come Monday instead of Wednesday.
Mine has been in Louisville since 8:09PM 10/10. No movement. Wondering if it will make it here before the Thursday expected delivery date. No apparent movement today (Sunday 10/11)
 
You have to wonder how Mr. Jobs would be handling this supply chain fiasco.

Would be great to be a fly on the wall in the Apple boardroom 😀Wasn't there a time where there was a disruption and Jobs asked Tim Cook why he was bumming around in the office when the next United flight to China was leaving in an hour?

Mine Also. Hoping that it is actually on the ups plane that is headed for Dallas right now and just has not updated.

I doubt it, normally you will have to see an import scan before any movement take place. I had a configured MacBook Pro on order before and it stayed in Louisville, KY for 2 days then got the import scan and was on it's way to my destination.

I would definitely say that you will get it on or before that day. UPS My Choice is telling that mine will arrive on 10/14/2020. I would expect movement on Tuesday for import scan and then be on its way for overnight delivery.

Or you might see an activity tonight
 
why does it take so long to do the frieking import scan? It sat at Louisville 24 hours already and two planes have gone to Dallas since it got there. I could have had it by tomorrow, for crying out loud. lol.

I know wishful thinking, wish it came tomorrow but I know for a fact that it won't. Normally around 1 PM or prior there would have been a import scan and followed by a departure scan as I do seem to find that last year, mine was actually loaded onto a truck and left 2 pm and did a 15 hour drive to my destination with few stops along the way.

Mine spent over 2 days in Louisville; there was an "import scan" on the 8th, passed Customs on the 9th, and shipped out at like 2 a.m. on the 10th. I don't know if the Customs people work weekends or not.
 
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!
Folks AWers, I ran out of patience:) and visited local Apple store and bought exact watch model/size/band I wanted.
Cheers and salutations!

They certainly do. The Apple Watch 6 I have for my personal use, was ordered right after it was announced and was delivered to me the following Monday. import scan was on Sunday and departed on Sunday. So they do work on weekends.

This Friday a got a message that my Apple Watch Edition 44mm with the leather link was shipped. I got a tracking link for DHL, stating that the parcel originated in Eindhoven, but there has been no scan since then. Is this normal? It’s to be shipped to Denmark

The lack of updates in DHL tracking is really annoying but I would not worry in your place.

I've ordered a refurbished iPad a few weeks ago and it took at least 2 days to get updated shipment data through DHL online tracking. It was even worse 2 weeks ago for some apparel ordered online. I've waited 4 days for the any updates from DHL....

I've ordered the apple watch 6 silver aluminium + inverness green sport loop on the 10th of Octobre, ETA is Nov 3rd.... that leaves a lot of time to change my mind on this purchase. Wait & see :)
 
Finally got an Export Scan from China. Apple watch spent the whole weekend in China. Delivery is set to be this Thursday ugh!

Charcoal sport loop still hasn’t arrived. 🥺 Apple said to call them tomorrow to see what they can do. 😁

Hopefully they put the stupid national post on notice, not good enough. 😡

just had the weirdest conversation with Apple support.
The person hardly spoke Danish, and after 15 minutes on hold, she insisted that they hadn’t gotten the arch at the warehouse in the Netherlands yet, and that they had debited my card because it had been shipped from the factory. Even though I had received a tracking, it wouldn’t become active until the watch had arrived in Europe. This is really far from anything normal in my experience!
 
Oh heck nooooo? December 11? 3 months later. Lol your date will most likely change.

I reeeally hope so. (To be fair, it would be only a 2-month wait... lol).
I don't wanna know what's gonna happen from tomorrow for the iPhone 12 (the small one will sell like crazy)... and for the first ARM Mac in November.

The sad thing is that in theory I should get also both of those...
