I am in NJ.

My card got charged last evening for the watch, so I know I am getting it launch day.

No other indications of shipping via notifications.

However, that proves the theory that many watches are going out by local hubs today (via Next Day) and that notifications will go out only a mere day prior to delivery.

It doesn't affect you at this point, but what are your thoughts on those who received "the email"
 
I believe that the email of death is a bad thing, and that if your order is preparing for shipment, then you will have it Friday. The email of death is just Apple's way of letting us know that it may not arrive Friday and applies to orders still processing-not preparing to ship. So congrats!

That's reassuring. I do know nobody from CA has gotten a tracking number that has not been voided yet, so that could be good news.
 
U guys think if we do get them shipped next day delivery, the reason being is to prevent thievery by shortneting delivery time?... Cuz 1 Million watches just laying around in warehouses r just too tempting lol

The email is the nail in the coffin. I placed 3 separate orders within 3 minutes of the preorder going live. The two that are preparing to ship received no email. The SG 42mm Sport order that is still processing received one however. I held out for hope, but I think this email is a confirmation that I won't get my watch friday.
 
When I see everyone debating...

I got the same email about an hour ago and called apple... Before telling them about the email they told me I have good chances to get my watch on Friday because they request ahutorization for payment and probably tomorrow I would get the prepare for shipment or maybe not status since they rush and get it on Friday. I wonder if the email happens right before they request authorization of payment.
I had ordered 42 mm SS BSB at 12.03 am PST. Located in North California

Well that makes me feel better. I had talked to a rep today and he said my card would be charged "any minute now". I don't know why he would say that if my order wasn't going through soon.

Any body else's ups my choice showing this? (4/23 delivery). I know theres no way any of us are getting it before friday, just seems weird. haha (white sport 38mm)
 
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.


Yup I am with you⌚️ Never received any launch day shipping from UPS in CO! Only Fedex so I guess it's the preparing for shipment track waiting game buddy

I think a major reason is so they don't get delivered early by accident. They have a lot more control at the source than trying to reign in each local one.
 
Mine isn't showing up on FedEx or UPS yet. Mine went to PFS Monday. Maybe FedEx just hasn't scanned the pallets yet.

Me too, have been on "Preparing for Shipping" for the whole week so far, but see no tracking data on either FedEx or UPS.

No Email of Death yet though, thank goodness. Hoping that I squeezed through the first wave.

Ordered 3:05am EST
42mm Sport Aluminum White Band
 
Well, I'm going to sleep. Still processing for my 42ss BSB, and EOD. I just want to say F U apple, one more time to help me sleep.


F you Apple!!!!!!!! Major letdown. Way to screw the pooch.

I don't know what you mean by "the email"

Did you receive a shipping notice? That's a guarantee.

So is your card being charged.

If you still haven't received a shipping notice, you still should not worry.

First of all, watches are being shipped from local hubs so notices won't go out till today for tomorrow delivery.

Second of all, it has already been reported that customers whose watch was due to ship next month are shipping this week.

So, if you were in the first wave of orders, it's totally unlikely you won't get a watch tomorrow.
 
Ok, so we r super anxious to get them, but what is the first thing ull do with it?

Me, i'll proly have it figured out in like 15 min and ill forget about it lol

I'm talking about the email of death that says "We're Working On Your Order"
 
My tracking number just showed up on UPS as well. Looks like delivery is stated at Friday! Whoo!

I live in California, it's shipping from Mount Juliet, Tennessee.
