I've had previous UPS packages held. Once a hold is requested they don't really show you tracking updates.

I think I'll note that for next time. I heard that you can request a hold up to the evening before. Chat representatives have been telling me that my tracking information will be updated, but it hasn't since Tuesday.
 
According to Apple, they are requiring direct signatures for the Apple Watch shipments due to the popularity of the device. They are not allowing us to pre-sign for the shipments (indirect signatures) like they usually do for their shipments.

The rep on the phone this morning emailed me a Pre-signed form for tomorrow's delivery.
 
just to let everyone know i ordered at 42mm ss with black sports band and i just talked to apple and they said that we still have hope they sent out a lot of peoples watches and still have to go through everyone to changed them so if it still says processing you still have hope i ordered mine at 3:03 am on april 10th and still says processing and she said if you got the email of doom people are saying that is a good sign because you are gonna be next to ship so hopefully it will change soon if anyone has changed from processing to ship today let me know i hope mine does

Yeah I've chatted and called UPS and they couldn't give me any info. They said they don't recommend changing it before it ships. Oh well.
 
anyone know when they got the charges from apple was it for the complete charge? i got two charges from apple that are pending with no dollar amount showing..
 
Anyone else have a chrome plugin that auto refreshes the page?

I have the following settings for pages:

Order status: 10 seconds
Support profile: 30 seconds
Credit Card balance: 1 min

Is it just me? lol
 
It's crazy Apple can't let you purchase AppleCare over the phone, before it's even been delivered. There should be no excuse for this. No reason a customer should have to drive to the store for this.

You don't have to go to the store for this. Just purchase it on the online store using the same Apple ID you used to purchase the watch. It will validate that you have a watch and allow you to purchase Applecare.

On the Apple website I have the option to Pre-sign UPS for multiple watches.
 
Anyone left that got charged and preparing to ship on 4/21 or earlier that is still on that step and doesn't have a tracking number by reference?

....and just like that it "ships", 38mm milanese for the record. UPS tracking number does not work yet but as long as it's in louisville, KY by 4am ill get mine tomorrow no problem if it's overnight shipping.
 
What is the email of death??!??

I live in a building with a doorman, who signs for everything, never had a problem. Will this suffice, or does it need to be YOU for them to leave?

I think that as long as someone signs, it's fine. My neighbor will most likely have to sign.
