I mean....WTF?

Why are, seemingly, tons of people getting tracking #'s from UPS while many of us (who ordered like right at 3am ET) still stuck in "Preparing for Shipment"

A sucker's bet says that those of us that cannot find our tracking numbers by reference are going to be SCREWED by apple and our watches are shipping from China and will not be here Friday.

My order for 42 SS Classic Black Buckle was confirmed via email at 3:02ET.... Not quite sure how to get too much higher on the list than that.

Thanks a lot, Apple! NOT

Like everyone said... stop complaining. You'll have your watch Friday. Congrats...

Unless you'd like to switch situations with me. I'm still processing.
 
I can't wait until this forum explodes tomorrow with everyone's receipt of shipment notices.

And hopefully that will truly be everyone who is in the 4/24-5/8 date range!
 
Why are people complaining about not getting UPS tracking numbers yet when the have 'preparing shipment' statuses??????????

Stop complaining! Gheez!

People like us ordered 12:01 and we are still showing Processing for the 42mm SS Sport Strap
 
Anyone know which plane landed yesterday and the day before that caused the outbreak of movement? Is the one landing to anchorage the same plane?
 
People don't seem to understand that preparing for shipment is a good thing. No one officially has received a shipping confirmation from Apple. Some of has success with the UPS track by reference, but it's safe to assume if you've got that status, you're good as gold.

The real problem is for us still stuck in the processing stage with the 4/24-58 window. With more and more news of the Mid May orders getting updated to Prepared For Shipment, it's hard for us still stuck not to be extremely frustrated.

This.
 
exactly since we both ordered when the store opened

I quite literally had the watch ordered in 15 seconds using apple pay. After order completed, the time on my phone was still 12:01. I don't think it gets more front of the line than that. Yet I'm stuck in processing purgatory. Or maybe it's processing hell. Not sure.

you'll get it, just chill.....

even tho its not showing up and preparing to ship doesn't mean its not preparing to ship

apple's site is back logged

mine is allegedly "preparing to ship" but its actually shipped already....with tracking that show its in transit:apple::)
 
REITERATING:

The only people who have found their tracking details from UPS are those who live in the Tennessee distribution center's catchment area. As of now, few to no other people have.

Apple has other centers in Newark, NJ, Harrisburg, PA, etc. :apple:

You keep reiterating false information. I got shipping notification from UPS two days ago. I live in Northern California, with the distribution center in Southern California (Rialto).

I'm not the only one:

I did the same thing.... saved the watch I wanted as a favorite and kept hitting refresh until the screen appeared.... immediately went to favorites, ordered and paid with the old fingerprint!
