Also love how when I made a thread for the pink sport watch that I was told by a mod I couldn't do that and redirected to post in a generic Apple shipments thread....yet I see tons of other watches with specific threads. WTF? 😡
 
38 mm SS preparing for shipment before 42 mm SS?

38 mm SS sport band preparing for shipment; found out about 1 hour ago.

42 mm SS sport band still processing.

Both ordered (separately) around 3:04 am EDT. I actually ordered the 42 mm first.

Of note I changed the shipping phone number; didn't touch the billing information.
 
My card charged around 5:30pm today. 20 mins later my order change to preparing for shipment🙂

I ordered a 42mm SS Milanese Loop on 4/10 @ 3:02am EST.
 
Is yours the 42? I ordered my 42mm SS w/classic buckle at 12:02, got the conformation at 12:03. Got a message yesterday from Chase at about 2PM Apple had put a pending charge on my account. Soon after my order switched to preparing to ship. I'm in Denver.

Yes. Exact same watch. Order confirmed at 12:06. Got charged in today's batch and now showing preparing to ship 🙂

How do you search via reference on MyChoice?

After you are logged in, click on Tracking. Then there should be a tab up at the top that says 'UPS My Choice' and it will bring up a calendar and that is where I saw on the 24th that I had a scheduled delivery. Then if you hover over it, it will show you more info including the tracking number.
 
not even going to bother registering for my choice as they have to send a code to my house before I can use the service. Pointless for one package.
 
I ordered 42 SS with classic black buckle just a couple minutes after order go live. Got charged yesterday evening and changed to " Preparing to ship" shortly thereafter. The Apple website still lists my status as that. However, I am able too see a tracking number on the UPS site using the MyChoice section. It had not actually shipped but shows as having a shipping label being made. Scheduled to deliver Friday late afternoon.

I was able to set it up by answering some security questions that I was actually shocked it knew to ask. In the list of previous streets I lived at it actually listed where I was in 1978. I HOPE that was just a coincidence. I hit the wrong button and had to get a new list of questions.

I didn't have to do this, otherwise I probably wouldn't have either. I also answered the security questions, kind of scary that they have that much information.

To the back of the line you go I'm afraid. 😕
 
This is the best option to get the package on your terms. A lot will do this (I am).

Thanks for the comment. I learned if you have it go to a local access point, it costs $5 and will take approximately 1 business day to get there. I'd rather just pick it up at 9 AM at the UPS Customer Center. It'll allow me to get there earlier and pick it up first thing in the morning 4/24.
