I asked my self if
included stickers as usual / would be fine to have them in some way indicating the watch model (white, green, silver, gold
; )10th April 5:53pm order
Ordered the Sport Green model and given shipping in June. Noticed this evening after work that my card has been charged (at 12am on the 23rd) and changed to "preparing for shipment."
Are we expecting those to be on Monday or do we think the June orders will be waiting until Mid-May and they just charged us to keep us happy...

What date did you purchase? I ordered on the 16th so I'm basically screwed.

What date did you order?
Ordered it 10th April (in Australia) but about 50 minutes after orders started. I'm not expecting it soon but my card got charged so I'm hopeful!
HI Everyone one. I have posted this in the 4-6 Week thread but because its in Australia I thought I would check to make sure nobody else is having this problem.
So I didn't get my SG 42mm Apple Watch Sport today (Australia) however I don't have a problem with that as I am in the 4-6 week group. However tonight I have changed my shipping address as I will be at work during the days and would like it delivered there.
After I did this my shipping date changed form 13/05/2015 - 26/05/2015 and is now displaying 25/05/2015 - 05/06/2015. Is this something that would normally happen or is something else going on. The new address is closer to the courier and is also closer to the CBD of the city.
I appreciate any help with this.

I really would be interested what various Apple support people say about this. Maybe call one and chat with one at the same time?
I wouldn't be surprised this happening considering how Apple is screwing with people in terms of different SKUs not avaiable and being very ambiguous about the launch. Which was a disappointing non event.
Ordered it 10th April about at about 5:04. I used the Apple Store app. My card still hasn't been charged yet so hopefully something happens next week.
I will call tomorrow however I have already had a chat with one and she said that it was the courier dictating when it would be delivered. Even after I said that the new address was closer to the couriers depot.
That sucks! TNT is the worst. You literally have to be home all day waiting for them otherwise you have to make an appointment to go and pick it up
As a general rule it is always dangerous to make any changes to your order (the system can't seem to process it and treats it like a new order). I made an alteration to an online order once and it changed my shipping date too (luckily that time ship time was only a few days).
I would give Apple a call and see if they can't sort out the change in ship date for you.
You're the first person I've seen with the same date as me. And I ordered the SS Space Black 42mm, with email confirmation at 5:02
Hope I get mine earlier
There were around 400 Apple shipments scanned in this morning...

I am thinking these might be watches, as Apple don't usually scan in other products till later in the day
But either way if yours says "Preparing For Shipment" you will get it Monday or Tuesday.

Arrived 11am today
Our courier said it was one of only 3500 in the whole of France today and only 4 were being delivered on the Cote D'azur. Given I was on a May 12 to 26 delivery date I'm pretty chuffed. BTW it's awesome.

Hey Mikeb147 my order changed to preparing for shipment tonight. Any luck on your end? Best of luck.
That sucks. I wanted to add them to the Tree I am starting on one wall in my office
Not kidding, I'm doing that as soon as I paint one wall sky blue. Looks like I'll have to supplement with stickers from eBay...One fella in Australia freaking out right now.
June / July deliver dates for my both watches.
Sick of waiting.

Question for Aussies who are at 'Shipped' or received their watch...
Did your order change from 'Preparing for Shipment' to 'Shipped' when the watch was scanned in Sydney or was there a gap like it may be from when it left China?
Or was there something else (email from TNT) that gave it away first?

Good question. I see there is a UPS plane landing in Sydney at 14h45 today. Wonder if they will be processing orders on ANZAC day?
My order went from preparing to shipped when it was scanned in Sydney. You don't see any updates prior to that. Your watch could already be in sydney waiting for monday delivery.
