The problem with that theory is that it makes it seem like they are all going to come from China. Well my watch is already at a facility in TN here in the USA just waiting to get sent to me Friday.


Where do you think they originated from? China.
 
For us California people who have not gotten our tracking # (including myself) here are two UPS flights coming from Alaska into Ontario, only miles from the Rialto Apple distribution center. Could our watches be on one of these two flights?

You have to love the resourcefulness of loyal apple fans. We are tracking flights between known apple shipping routes for god sake! Samsung, eat your heart out. You will never have loyal customers like this.....ever!
 
Do the past incoming flights correspond with the groups of reference numbers being created and labels being accessible by us.? Are they from anchorage?
 
My 38mm Sport with White Band has been in "preparing for shipping" status for 48 hours now without change.

My 42mm SS with Classic Band is still processing. I bought them 2 minutes apart....
 
Yes and yes.

That sounds great to me. both of my orders changed to preparing for shipment yesterday right after I was charged but I haven't gotten any access to a shipping label for either yet.

For the record:
Los Angeles
38mm blue sport
38mm ss Classic buckle

It could be, or it could just be any regular UPS planes with regular stuff inside. I won't get my hopes up until tomorrow. There's been enough disappointment today and yesterday :(

A lot of the activity in the U.S. Has happened around 16:00 CST right after an earlier UPS flight landed. Haven't seen much with the later flights so far.

Hope you're right, I'm in cucamonga, right near Ontario and Rialto:)
 
How long did it take from landing to actually creating shipping labels on the past flights? Also, anyone have any insight if there r any time restrictions on when shipping labels are created, etc? Will we wake up to reference numbers leading to labels? Or can it only be updated during business hours?
 
Wait, I thought there was a distribution center in West Sacramento. Or is that a different facility?

The one you are thinking of is in Elk Grove. That is a repair, return and training center. Not a distribution facility for Apple products.
 
Can anyone answer me why is it Next Day Air? this is pure speculation, but isn't the watch coming from CHINA? there's no way they can process shipment next day air time frame if its coming from china. it has to be at least two days. so if next day air from china, then the latest to ship is wednesday.

Unless, the watches are coming from the US?
 
I've been following this thread since page 15, but just now decided to join in the conversation. It seems like spurts of movement happen around the same time each day when either a flight lands or apple dispatches items or even charges cards. Around 1-3 PST is the prime time for any movement is my guess. I would assume we would definitely see a lot of movement by tomorrow latest 4 PST

Watches come to the U.S. From China and then are shipped to our homes and we only get access to the tracking info in that last leg of their trip. From what I have heard they come to the U.S. In large pallets

Looks like you didn't read carefully. It's next day air from TN
 
just saying, there will 100% be some watches shipping out in Australia for friday delivery as the Appl Watch Basics classes are available on the 24th. The wouldn't hold classes then if at least some people didn't get their watches then. I reckon we start seeing charges tonight or later this arvo:)
