Is the Australian shipping order random?

I don't think so. I ordered at 5:05 and mine (space grey) just shipped this morning. I think they just appear to be going out of order but it's just differences with pre-prepared regional stock (power adapters) and different editions/SKUs moving at various rates.

lucky, i also ordered a SG 5:05 and still processing..
 
which city you located? just trying to see if any trends...

All tracking notices for Australia seem to be originating from TNT in Sydney so I think Australian allocations are being done by watch/band combo then by order time (42 SS BSB is currently shipping Australian orders around X:03 for example, while other combos like 42 SS WSB are shipping Australian orders made as recently as Friday)

Yeh it seems to be like that...hopefully they move quickly with 42SS-BSB...my order was X:07...literally live 10 minutes away from TNT depot, wish I could just walk in and take it :mad:

Hey guys, based on experience do the Oz charged only come off once a day at around 1-3pm? There isn't another run in the evening is there?
 
My 42mm Space Grey Sport has shipped!

But I must be lucky though cause i've got Startrack delivering mine tomorrow... Not TNT. Just waiting for the site to update though so I can see where it is!

From Central Coast NSW...

My order is identical to yours (providing yours is 42mm). some people with same orders a couple minutes earlier have just reported shipping notifications above. It seems to be the black sport band delaying our shipments for some reason. hopefully they get their act together and ship it asap...I'm in sydney...

That black band is causing all the delays. I ordered same as you as soon as the store went up on the 10th and still in processing

So it just went from processing -> shipping?
 
Nah. I had confirmation email at 5:02. Stayed on Processing until yesterday at about 6pm. Went into Shipped at 10am this morning.

Was sad I didn't make the Friday shipment. Especially when my order was confirmed so close to 5.01 and it is my birthday present too. 14 days late. Lol
 
Still trying to understand how this works...

I ordered a SG 42 w/ Black Strap
Status: Processing
Email Time: xx:06
Window: Apr 24 - May 8
Charged: No
Location: Melbourne, Australia

Funnily enough I actually tried to order literally seconds after the orders went live, but my card was declined and it took me a few precious minutes to work out why.

My friend who ordered the exact same as me as soon as the orders went live received his on Friday the 24th. Does anyone have any other updates?

I could understand if it was just because I ordered a few minutes after my friend, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds it annoying to see people who were expecting theirs in June get them already (not that I'm not happy for them).

Why bother advertising not missing out if your not going to send things in order ?

I feel your pain! I ordered 42MM SS BSB X:07. It's facking annoying.
 
So I ordered a 42 SS WSB on Saturday when my leather loop order still wasn't showing an signs of moving. I got a $1 charge at the time. This morning I got the full amount charged to my card showing up as Pending on my Westpac app. My order is still on processing. Does the charge today mean it should start moving soon?

Yep. They don't charge you until they're ready to send.

Mines latest update was that electronic data was received at Erskine Park this afternoon.

Unfortunately it's SKU dependent. Plus it appears the back strap he been a major issue. All the ones being brought forward appear to be the White, green and blue sports and the SS with classic buckle, Milanese loop and White SB.
 
Whoo! Just clicked over to preparing to ship!

was that your leather loop or wsb?

with your $1 charge...does it say iTunes music store? thats what I've got on my online banking so far but I definitely haven't bought anything apart from the watch...
 
An update to my earlier post.

Apple just tried to charge me and couldn't, despite me calling them twice to make sure my payment details were correct.

Anyway I have re-entered the same details and for some reason they worked this time.

I have been successfully charged, but I'm STILL processing.

Melbourne, Australia.
XX:05.
SG-Black Strap 42mm.

Hopefully I might have some joy soon.
 
Do you believe in magic? I placed this order yesterday after not being happy with my white sport... Talk about luck :p
