Delivery Dates 4/24-5/8

[TroyLovesSprint]

Unglued? Not yet

I'll wait until the 24th comes and goes before being either really happy or really disgusted. I'm already aware Angela is a female and we have lots of third world problems. To market the 24th everywhere, then just as your click the purchase button you see 4/24-5/8 and then to have the 24th removed from their websites clearly says "we ****ed up" or "we did this on purpose" which to me falls under "bait & switch." I love Apple products, would be weird not to have them in both my personal & professional life. However; brand loyalty has to be earned and managed. At 12:01 a.m. on 4/10 they knew what their inventory would be on 4/24. To give ranges to keep people somewhat happy is unacceptable.

You in Sacaramto?

I'm kind of just thinking about trying to forget about my order so I can try and stop looking at this thread all day

What does Angela being a female have to do with anything?

Dude that doesn't mean that the watches are not on the plane. The watches are shipping. So I assure you there are watches coming on one or more of those planes

I'm not saying there aren't watches on the planes dude. I'm curious if there is anymore volume than there was last week or the week before, that'd be a much stronger indicator that a mass shipment of watches is arriving from China.

 

[iPhoneEh]

Very, very likely that any shipment across the border is already pre-cleared for customs so it shouldn't get held up at all. I'm really hoping I see a shipped status tomorrow or else it feels like Monday for me (I'm in a smaller city).

Fingers crossed

There have been several with CA shipping addresses. This is one huge thread, so easy to miss. Our local warehouse is in Rialto (SoCal). As mentioned in my post, and evidenced underneath my login name, I live in the Bay Area.

38mm silver sport w/white band. Email received, 12:13 AM

Hmmmm, very odd. I ordered the same one in 42, mine is being shipped to Sacramento and I ordered before you did (12:03). Hope I get an update. Did UPS my choice pop up or did you have to track by reference?

Seems unnecessarily sexist, no?

Same! But it's becoming a "try not to think about polar bears!" type thing...

I've had Apple launch day product (iPad Mini?) ship from local hub so I didn't get a tracking number until Wed (perhaps Thurs) and it arrived on time. The local hub is only 2 hours away. So if the current batch of tracking numbers shows packages already in the USA/local hubs then we are likely to receive our goodies on Friday. From the past several launches, there is a high percentage of those that received launch day products on launch day and a very very very small percentage that did not.

Me:
Apple Watch Sport 38mm Space Gray Aluminum Case with Black Sport Band
Confirmation email 12:03 Pacific
Current status "Processing"
No CC charged, no shipping information, nothing on the Apple Support website

The extra charger I ordered was charged yesterday and shipped today expected to arrive tomorrow.

I'm in So Cal. I'm not worried (yet) LOL

Michael

I'm in the exact same situation except I ordered a 42mm. I'm in Oregon.

Clearly some folks are only stuck to this blog stream. Across many people are saying folks are only complaining because she is a female. I was implying that my feelings were strictly around the dates advertised and to please not tell me I should be worried about 3rd world problems or that I'm only complaining because she is a female. geeeez.. forgot everyone on here has different levels of intellect.

 

[mlenger]

Yeah.

Hopefully that explains it - you are further from the dist center than me I hope - otherwise my theory just had a flame out

Welcome to the general public... Why not just sit tight, I'm sure you'll get a delivery Friday if you got your order in early enough.

This is ridiculous. People complain yet have no idea how complicated this process actually is. You realize you're ordering something from ****ing China right?

Also, how would Apple accurately predict how many products are going to sell without having any history whatsoever to draw that information from? Oh you just want to bitch? Congratulations.

Could the date range just be because of unforeseen problems that have either happened in the past ( I know there is always a couple on iPhone release day every year that don't get theirs till the day after) or maybe they were aware of a potential problem and wanted to give a range to cover a potential hiccup. Regardless they said starts shipping on the 24th. No guarantee of how many. I don't think there is any reason to be disgusted. Disappointed certainly but I think disgusted is a bit much.

Still annoyed that for some reason pink can't have its own thread thanks for being racist mods!

Wait, I thought there was a distribution center in West Sacramento. Or is that a different facility?

Yeah, I thought they had one in Elk Grove, CA.

I hereby declare it as something diffrent

Fairly certain there is one there, West sac

 

[Evildude683]

Everyone please!

 

[Goodmitc]

nah everyone is in the same boat. Kind of relaxing really.

FWIW I called Apple yesterday and they said they couldn't charge you until they'd emailed you that it was ready to ship.

So I suspect us Aussies are going to see no action whatsoever until Thursday afternoon, at which point **** will go utterly mental and we'll most of us early orderers get a nice package some time Friday

I hope it changes either tonight or tomorrow sometime my window is 24/4-8/5

 

[simsdaniel]

Yes, there is one in West Sacramento but I have no idea if theirs one in Elk Grove.

My packages from UPS normally come from the West Sacramento & Rocklin facility's.
