Thank you all that replied about the delivery app. I got the parcel app, which was free and even though it recognized the order the only information it gave me was "No data available". So, it looks like Deliveries definitely gives more information for what I've read here.
This is what Deliveries for Mac shows when you plug in your order number and email address.
EDIT - Deliveries is hands down the best tracking app I've used. I'd gladly pay 4.99 again for it. Between Apple Watch support, iOS widgets and Mac widgets, I couldn't use anything else.

"Last checked 5 minutes ago"? Cmon! Unless it says last checked a moment ago your not really tracking it!
Gah, just got a "shipping notification" email from Apple show up in the corner on my screen - it was the MagSafe to MagSafe 2 connector that I forgot I ordered
I'm in the 5/13-27 group anyway, still, I was reading this forum when I got it.
I think we may need a 12 step program.
Hahaha Same happened to me a few minutes ago. I upgraded my iCloud storage a few days ago and forgot about it. The email I got said "your receipt from Apple" and I got so excited. Should have know when I saw the word 'iCloud," but my hopes were too high to put 2 and 2 together. lmao
I think it's safe to say that the phrase "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" may be incorrect. (agreeing with your 12 step comment)
Not sure how the delivery app can provide alerts faster then Apple when it just uses your order number and email to check your order status. Not sure how often it polls their server but seems like you would get a push notification from the Apple Store app first.
This is very possible. I've got both installed so we'll see what happens. I just happen to already own it so I might as well test it.
EDIT - One thing I like is being able to quickly check the status without having to enter my Apple ID in the Apple Store app.

Pretty ironic that the Deliveries app recently got updated with an, erm, Apple watch app
Well, at least I'll have notification of the deliveries of my extra band and my rMB on my wrist!
IMO its the best postal/ order tracking app, its helped me with three phones two ipod and now the watch
Mine was 42mm as well. I think it's because I'm in Canada and they've probably split the stock up between countries proportionately.
Though everyone who ordered right when the store opened got a 4/24 date. Crept me
In the U.S., you can sign up on both the FedEx and UPS sites to be notified when any package, shipped from anywhere, is coming to your house. You can get an update via text or email. And they both have apps too. And they are free.
You can also get the Deliveries *widget* and install that in your dashboard on your iMac for free. That will track directly from Apple. http://junecloud.com/support/delivery-status-widget/

Thank you for the widget info!
How do you go about being notified from FedEx and UPS?
Thank you!
I get this is nice for an extra notification and for the widget, but I am personally checking this forum constantly, so if I don't get a notification, I will just see you guys posting about it and check it myself. Lol.
Won't the Apple Store app push a notification without logging in?

Sorry to hear that! I was wondering how you ordered before me but got a later date. Didn't think about the US getting priority. Definitely not fair.
+ 1 on this app. Love it. got the iOS and mac versions. I get so much stuff from amazon etc. that its a great way for me to know when to expect a shipment.
The notifications view is key.
until i get the apple watch.
then the apple watch app will be key i supposed.
