I ordered 3 Apple Watch Sports in the 42mm, 2 White and 1 Space Grey. The White ones changed to "Preparing for Shipment" while the Space Grey is still "Processing". The weird thing is that I placed 3 separate orders all within the first three minutes of the pre-order going live. They all received the 4/24-5/8 date. I actually placed the Space Grey order first, yet it is the last one to change status. So either they are shipping in random batches, or the Space Gray 42mm Sport is in short supply and shipping later than the other options. I will re-post once the Space Grey changes status.


Yeah my SG is a no go for shipment. White sport is preparing to ship. I think the SG crew is going to be disappointed quickly here.
 
Just got off the phone with Apple, to make sure nothing is wrong with my card. He said that everything is fine and I had a good order time and date slot. He also said people in that first date window are the ones they are pushing for Friday delivery.

they are pushing for Friday delivery.

Uh oh.
 
I'm going to sleep now and expect to see a nice juicy £339 taken from my account when i wake up - that and 100 new pages on this thread to read through:p
 
Anyone from AUSTRALIA seeing a change to preparing for shipment? I ordered at 5.02pm so expecting to be in first batch but still no update. Abut concerning considering its Tuesday in Australia but people in USA are getting updates and it's only Monday ??

Oh, I thought they were going to try and give the people with the May date window a Friday delivery.
 
Where do you get push notifications from Amex? I have the Amex app on iPhone. I don't see an option in settings within the Amex app for push notifications for purchases? How can I enable them. I don't even see online in my account.

It's b.c we have the Amex set up through apple pay.

I've seen a bunch of people ask this but not one person in AU say theirs has been charged or prepared for shipment. Ruh roh :(
 
The Macrumors article about preparing for shipment said:

"Once an order changes to Preparing for Shipment, customers may be able to track by reference number using a phone number on the UPS and FedEx websites to get tracking information before a shipping email even goes out."

Could someone go into more depth about this? How do I do this?
 
I'm using MC, already prepared for shipment

Welp, there goes that theory.

Both websites have an area where you can search shipments by reference number. Apple uses your phone number as the reference number.

Go here to Track By Reference:
FedEx - https://www.fedex.com/apps/fedextrack/
UPS - http://www.ups.com/tracking/tracking.html

For reference, use your phone number and/or Apple Store Order #.
 
I new it was a fake. I mean, how (or why) would anyone have T-Mobile if they could afford a 17k watch! :p

Maybe they like what T Mobile stands for? That's why I switched.

Maybe they like having even more money each month? That's why I switched.

:mad:
