Delivery Dates 4/24-5/8

Ordered a 38 MM SS classic buckle, at 3:02AM. Went preparing shipment on Wednesday, cannot track UPS shipment. Located in CT. Was going to use some vacation time on Friday but now I am no sure I'll get it... :(

They would need lots of planes to get to a million watches.

A million watches would only need 2 planes.

If each box is 5 cubic inches, a 777F has room 23,000+ cubic feet of storage. You can fit over 500,000 on the plane.
 
My 42 blue band sport watch is been on preparing for shipment since monday 4/22. I checked UPS/fedex by tracking and nothing found. Im located in north jersey. Any possibilities i get it on launch day (this friday)? i order at 3:09AM EST on pre order day.

As I've seen how Apple ships it's devices (internally between warehouses, stores), they put a ton of extra packing materials, especially when shipping internationally. Still the sentiment is there, they're small devices.
 
Almost as aggravating as still in processing is constantly having to type out my password instead of being able to use TouchID to check order status on the apple store app.

Very true. And there are other packages on the planes as well. But it's still an interesting thought. Just the boxes themselves with nothing else. You can get 621,000 boxes on a 777F and that's not even a 747!

Fun fact. A 747-400F would hold just shy of 1.8 millions boxes at 5 cubic inches per box.

This is the first time I am hearing a SS watch with BSB has moved to Preparing for shipment! What size? :eek:

Some SS with BSB have moved to Preparing for Shipment, but none in the US. The first one (that we have heard of) was from Hong Kong and some UK and Australia residents got their status updated as well. This was around midnight PDT.

Going by his post history, it seems he's from Germany which makes sense, we still haven't seen any updates from the US with this specific model.

Still "Preparing to Ship"

My credit card got charged Monday, but my order still says "Preparing for Shipment" after two days. Just waiting to see movement! No status updates via UPS or FedEx on tracking...

A box is far more than 5 cubic inches.

We don't know precise measurements, but from SS in boxing videos I've seen, it looks like it's in the range of 4x4x3, which is nearly 50 inches cubed.

The Sport box is a little smaller, but we're still taking about figures that are far higher than 5.

I've also heard a lot of people with May/June delivery estimates that have been charged and moved to preparing to Dispatch. I guess Apple has plenty of Sport models. I don't understand why they are having problems with the SG Models and Black SB.

Because they sold a ton of them?

Not everyone has been able to do it... But when you go to UPS's site and go to tracking. Track by reference number. Your reference number is your phone number associated with the order. And make sure you change the date range (by typing) to 4/21 - 4/23. Then of course put in your country and corresponding zip or regional code...
Lots of luck!

Or it could be coming through FedEx.
 
Still preparing. Confirmation was 3:03 and Near Boston. 42 SS CB. At least my spare charger will be Friday.

I'm still waiting for the "shipped" status for a 38 Sport White and 42 Sport White. Both are still in "preparing".

I keep checking for a tracking number but 'nothing'.

I'm in Colorado. Still in the preparing stage. Most of my packages come through FedEx and I haven't seen 1 person say they've been able to see FedEx routing anywhere yet.
