No luck on UPS Track by Reference. Used phone number and end of date range 4/24.

Worried that means my watch isn't even stateside.

3:01a EDT

38mm Blue Sport

Any other blue watches got UPS tracking numbers?

Even if it still isn't stateside there's no need to worry. Like I mentioned before there are three flights coming into Alaska this afternoon that most likely have watches in it. Still in time for a watch to be on your doorstep Friday.

Do have prepare for shipment status if you do , this is prob the worst post I've ever seen on this forum

And yea, didn't even think of that. If you're charged and have preparing to ship. No complaining needed, I would say there is an extremely high chance you'll have your watch Friday.
 
ha ha all good! Got me all excited!!

I don't think Australia will have issues when it comes to deliveries in metro areas.

i purchased 3 x watch charging cables at 4pm AEST and it has already been shipped and sitting at the depot for delivery.

Apple is always really fast with delivery (in sydney at least) and usually i get orders the next business day.

I know that Qantas / VA fly parcels for TNT all night for next day delivery in Australia (Metro), so even if your order is still processing, there is still hope for the Australians :)

Yes, only the people with processing can complain. (Me)
 
Any movement in PA or NJ yet? I am getting anxious, 2 days left and still preparing to ship.

I'm in NY and haven't seen anything yet either! I'm trying to stay calm, but with all those tracking numbers going out yesterday via UPS it's too nerve wracking!
 
It would appear (key word being appear) that batches are being charged by country at a specific time window. My prediction is that about 2 am local EST (4-5 pm Australian time) the people from Australia might start seeing charges go through...

I have to say I called it...this was from yesterday morning. :p
 
By really cool do you mean really strait? Lol

And why is that? Preparing for shipment means nothing afaik. there is still a chance that this particular SKU had an issue and was delayed. The more I get on this forum, the more annoyed I get with people calling me out for legitimate concerns.

Much more mature response. I guess the BSB, PSB and BlSB are still waiting to be shipped to the U.S. since those seem to be the ones that haven't found their way into UPS' systems.
 
This same thing happened to me when I ordered it at 3:01 EST. I literally used Apple pay so fast I didn't catch it until I got the confirmation email and freaked out. Turns out it happened to quite a few other people with Apple pay; it automatically brought an address from your contact card (your work address) and stupidly put that as your billing. I called the morning phone support opened and had them quickly change it, but despite even that the order still went through probably because I've used that card with Apple/Apply pay many times and it probably "trusted" it somehow. You may be able to change it today without repercussion.

Thanks to all that replied - I was able to easily update it via chat. I also took the liberty to ask if they knew when the 42MM ss bsb would ship. I had no expectations on a real answer so I chuckled when he responded with, "4/24 - 5/8, it should ship real soon" - I thanked him and when on my way.
 
I would be pretty disappointed in Apple fails on deliveries, if you order within the first 10mins and have to wait 2 weeks. I don't think Steve would of ever let that happen, in fact I am tempted to go with Moto 360 if this keeps going south.
 
I think us LA people won't see our orders go into preparing for shipment status till tonight or tomorrow. We are very close to the shipping hub and it will only take a day to ship to us. At least I hope.

I hope you're right! I didn't pre-order the iPhone 6 this time around so I don't remember what happened with LA people for that...
 
Don't give up yet!!

Lets just take a moment to remember that NOBODY has a status of Shipped yet!!

That is an important fact for those seeing there order hasn't moved to Preparing to Ship yet. Nobody has jumped a queue at this stage nobody has a watch that is actually shipping and fully trackable (trackable slightly yes, but not moving).

There is still time for Apple to whiz through the orders that have not yet moved in the next 24 hours and then everyone who is getting their watch on Friday will see Shipping about the same time.

Only then can the moaning really start as we just don't know how this is going to pan out. Your order could go from preparing to shipped in a few minutes, rather than sitting at the prepare stage for two or three days like some have seen.

I'm very annoyed about this process myself. I have a 42mm SS BSB ordered at 8:03 UK time that isn't budging. I have the day off work on Friday (I had holiday to use up) so really do hope to see some movement soon and would rather know what is going to happen sooner rather than later.

Apple have not told us anything officially either. Our expecations have been our own. We ordered early and so we think we should get it on launch day. But Apple have only ever said by 8th May. They have not promised otherwise, regardless of what the chat and store assistants seem to be making up as they go along.

We're used to getting our launch stuff on the day, I have had two iphone pre orders fulfilled this way although I must admit my iphone 5S order was all over the place before it turned up on my door on release day as promised. I worried a bit about that order, but should have trusted the system that was in place to get it to me in time.

There can be no way that the BSB is hard to produce, these have to be the easiest strap for them to produce and they will have done enough for all watch orders and the additional strap orders too that had the 24th to 8th window (they sold out quick enough, but they had the allocation). There is also clearly no issue with producing either 38mm or 42mm SS watch bodies as these are shipping wth other straps. All that is happening is that we are not yet seeing a movement on that SKU yet. I am pretty hopefull (although admitedly nervous) that those of us who bought in the first few minutes should be OK and will see movement on our orders pretty soon.

Stay strong!!
 
Im in Hampton, VA I got movement to prepared for shipping and had my account charged on monday for my 38 aluminum blue band. i know that is not your model but just FYI VA is getting some movement....I need to know if anypone in VA has gotten Shipping Info

Awesome!! Are you going to pick it up from UPS store or something? I am I have to because I have to go to Liberty University for an intensive class friday.


Having it delivered to the house.
 
My daily status update:

38mm aluminum/white sport, XX:02, preparing to ship since Monday afternoon, pending CC charge. Cannot find it with phone number reference in UPS or FedEx. Cannot set up MyChoice on UPS because it rejects my office address ("Commercial").

42mm space gray/black sport, XX:04, 04/24-05/08, stuck in Processing hell. No cc charge.

East coast.
 
Apple Watch Sport w/ White Band has been processed with UPS and is awaiting to be shipped by end of today! It is guaranteed delivery no later then end of business Friday! Which means it'll most likely be available for me to pick up from the UPS City Hub tomorrow night or Friday morning!

No crying until Friday people. Until then, just panicking and rioting in the streets ;)

Well I'm having issues. I live in Pyrmont which is basically Sydney CBD. My confirmation from Apple after placing order at 5:02 is a confirmation at 5:03:02. What more do I have to do?!
