OH!! Completely missed that the first time I read through haha! Very funny!
Don't know what I would do without the jokes from this thread...probably die waiting for this watch.
I imagine they pay someone a lot of money to estimate inventory based on percentages and demand, it's got nothing to do with location. Australia and the UK are paying more for their watches too, I know who I'd like to sell to!
The exciting part like try-ons, for those receiving their watches on the 24th, there will be a fair percentage of Aussies playing with their watches as you are heading to bed on Thursday night! Fingers crossed I'm one of them!
So excited for all of us, regardless of where you are!
Purchased and received at 3:03:10 EST. Charged and status updates to preparing to ship at 6:50 EST this evening.

The thought process here is if you get this email, you're not getting it Friday
Ok I just get an email from apple.
My heart jumps!!

Things are happening fast...
I ordered a SS 42 BCB at 3:03 EST on 4/10. It went to Preparing for Shipping on Monday at 5 pm EST and remains there, however.....
This weekend I ordered a 2M charging cable for the Watch with an initial 2 week delay for delivery. I got notice today at noon that the cable was now arriving on 4/24, and just got a second notice from UPS that is is coming on 4/23 (from Harrisburg PA). I am in Ohio.
So the turnaround can be under a day and I hold out hope when I wake tomorrow, my Watch will be shipped to arrive on 4/24

Just got that too. Why is it death? I assumed it just was sent to everyone who ordered.
Cool story bro.
But there is no federal law preventing them from charging your card before they ship. There are CC companies that don't allow companies to charge the CC until shipped unless you allow them. So if you "agree" by placing the order then you "agree" to the policy of that website which can include if they want "charge before shipping"
Most websites only charge when shipped. However it is no where near 100 percent.

Just got the "email of death."
Why do you call it that??
I see it as a positive sign, unless there is something I am missing. Does the email mean something?
I got the same email earlier today and assumed it was just an automatic thing they sent to everyone....but maybe it's not normal
As far as I can tell it has taken on urban legend status. No one can explain the "of death" label.
Just got it as well. Order still in processing. I don't know how the conclusion was drawn that this meant you weren't going to get delivery on Friday exactly. Has anyone gotten the e-mail who's card has been charged or order moved out of processing?
It looks like a lot of people are getting it. So far I've only seen people in processing get it - not people that have moved to PFS. There have been a few threads on it. I simply called it what others have in those threads.
Exactly. If it's Preparing and the UPS "trick" doesn't pull up a shipping label, I'm reasonably certain that it is being delivered FedEx Overnight
