Apple Watch Series 6 Shipping/Order Status Thread

[Apple_Robert]

2 of my local Apple Stores are re-opening today (just outside Portland, OR -- the downtown one remains closed) but I guess they didn't get any inventory as I can't seem to order for pickup 🙁

Maybe you can pick one up before it gets burned down.

My titanium is on order with a 9/30 - 10/2 range. I’ve seen everybody talking about waltzing in and picking up their ordered watch so I decided to check out my local store. Security stopped me before I even got close and said they have no stock available for walk-ins. Every model and band variation I tried showed not available for pickup.

Left Apple and tried Best Buy. They had no idea a titanium model existed. Only Series 6 available was a blue 42mm. Headed to Target from there and all they had was 38mm Series 3s. Verizon was my last hope and the only one they had in stock was a rose gold Series 5.

This reminds me of hunting for a new phone back in the iPhone 5/s days. They must’ve really pared down their production this year. Thanks COVID!

As far as I know, Apple Hilldale does not carry the Titanium models as I've been told. They do have SS and aluminums available in stock tho.

Hey guys,

Just thought Id start a thread to see what everyones order status is.

I am in Toronto, Canada. AW6 Silver Titanium - 44mm ordered at launch. Delivery Sept 29-Oct 1st.

I hate to see it's shipping from China...I had two itemsI had bought not knowing it was a Chinese rip off site on Facebook.....never received one of the items and got one of them about 8 weeks after paying extra for expedited shipping.....I will cancel my Apple Watch 6 if there are any delays....My Series 2 works absolutely perfect and my trade in was maybe $65.00for Stainless Steel sapphire face...

Hilldale in Madison WI?

Yes, Hilldale in Madison WI.

 

[PTVMan]

Yes, Hilldale in Madison WI.

Thanks, may do an order for pick up - the Blue 44mm I want is available.

 

[LANNYR]

FINALLY! Got a email from at 7:48 AM. Should be here by Sept. 28th. 😀 Currently “In-Transit” to Paramus, NJ from Jiaxing, China.

Yes they do have the Blue 44 MM available. I just ordered one for pick up and will be heading there soon.

What’s the time from order to pickup ready?

My package still hasn’t been scanned since the 3:23am Shanghai scan yesterday. It definitely missed the plane. I guess I’ll be getting it mid-week instead of Monday. It’s kind of a bummer that UPS doesn’t have flights out of Shanghai on the weekends.

There is a plane heading from Shanghai to Alaska tonight - I am willing to bet Monday/Tuesday delivery to those in the US/Canada

 

[LegCortex]

For folks with tracking showing Shanghai and for folks with tracking showing awaiting receipt in Jiashan, the watches may be going out on UPS 81, which departs Shanghai in just under 6 hours (https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS81).

Oh, so UPS does have weekend flights out of China. I like how we’re all waiting on the exact same mega-shipment.

Okay, this is giving me hope. Someone else on here said there aren’t weekend flights. I’m glad that‘s not actually the case. I just want to see movement. No scans for 24 hours makes me nervous even though it’s completely normal and it’s not like my little package fell off the back of a truck or anything. All our packages are on a massive pallet together. 😂

Typically less than an hour. I just go when I get the pick up is ready. They don't really care about the time you select. Plus I was just there it's very quiet so not busy.

Yea no worries. They definently have weekend flights (as another poster already linked to UPS flight 81 this evening). Imagine the backup of packages UPS would have if they took two days off moving packages each week! I am not sure where the idea that UPS doesn't fly from China on the weekends came from... but I think those in Shanghai will see a scan a little after 7 EST tonight.

 

[sterumbelow]

Nooooo.

Mine had shown a Tuesday 22nd delivery ever since my UPS updated. It’s just been rescheduled to the 24th.

Hasn’t moved from ‘export scam’ in 36 hours. 😢

Mine was 16:26 and it’s just been rescheduled to Thursday (from Tuesday). Grr. I’m in the UK by the way, unsure if you are too.

 

[anshuvorty]

I got an update, Apple thinks it will be delivered 1 week from Monday, 9/28 🙁

I’m in Los Angeles. I believe the shipment will travel to UPS’s worldport in Kentucky before being divvied up and distributed to customers.

Yeah somebody mentioned earlier that Apple is the only place you can get titanium and that not all stores even stock them. Odd though since the closest stores to Madison are Chicago or Milwaukee.

I’m in the same boat...Watch just got rescheduled from Monday 21st to Wednesday 23rd 😕

 

[kevkmartin]

I had placed a day one order, due for delivery Sept 25 - 29.

Yesterday, I noted that the same watches I ordered were available for same day pick-up in northern VA.

I placed that order, and picked up 2 hours later.

I will return the original ordered items when they arrive.

 

[Janny83]

Not sure when mine is coming date tentative its at “clearing agency awaiting final release”😭

 

[sancho-p]

Does any one have this status in UPS? Unknown date ... Apple still says a 25-29 sep window but UPS status doesn’t look good

 

[rachpid]

Ordered via O2 UK yesterday morning - Silver 40mm for me and Space Grey 44mm for my husband - both had delivery date as Monday and we got them today, which was a nice surprise! No dark blue in stock for the 44 and noticed gold 40 had delivery date in October!
