Hi, I ordered my new Apple Watch 6 SS as soon s it became available, deliver date September 25-29. I just found the same watch at my local Apple Store. Once it goes to preparing to ship, I can't cancel it. What would be the best and easiest way to return back to Apple?
Thanks, Jerry
I’ve taken my iphone back to local Apple store after I stupidly ordered a smaller memory than I should have. Returned it still in the box got refund and they had same with more memory on hand. This all happened 2nd day the phones were out.

Once you have your local watch in hand and are satisfied, you can initiate a return online via Apple website to return the other watch, once it arrives.
 
Just went to shipped in the past hour. Tracking info isn’t available yet on UPS’s site so it’s obviously pretty recent.

Mine shipped about two hours ago! Still in China though.

Apple still says September 25-29 but UPS doesn’t have an estimated date. It was shipped with UPS Saver so I can’t imagine it taking that long. Thinking possibly by next Wednesday.
 
People from Europe with DHL Express any update? On DHL tracking website only report "Shipment information received" (Eindhoven-Netherlands) -they haven't it yet- and Apple says is shipped since thursday morning.

Would be coming from Shangai too?

Apple.com Delivery (30 sept) and Appme Store app (2 oct) 😓 No sense.
 
For us whose watches have been sitting in Shanghai since yesterday, I think we are waiting for the watches that are just now getting shipped. Hopefully we can still all get them by Monday. :)
 
Hello, new member here. Waiting impatiently form my watch to move from preparing to ship to shipped status. I ordered on Wednesday afternoon. Our local Apple stores are closed (TN), and Best Buy doesn't have anything but the sport bands. I've never ordered directly from Apple before, but reading this thread gives me hope I will receive my watch before the expected delivery dates of Sept. 28 to Oct. 1.

This is worse than waiting for Christmas as a kid!
