There is no rhyme or reason. I ordered two watches, exact same configuration. One for myself. One for my brother. Both are 42mm SS milanese. One email received at 3:04AM Eastern and another at 3:09 Eastern. The one at 3:09 Eastern arrived first.
The one for 3:04 was then charged on the credit card last week and charge held/processed and kept in processing for a few days. Charge dropped off on the credit card. Called for status update they said everything is fine at Apple and it is still processing, funds are good, no need to change anything and to just be patient. Of note, the 3:04 watch received the EOD while the 3:09 watch came on release day. Both of us are located in NYC/Manhattan.
 
I should get my watch sometime around 9am to 1pm, I hope it is early like 9am, it was expose to be delivered yesterday, It was expose to go from Harrisburg, PA to Laural, MD, then to Chanitly, VA, but since they incorrectly sorted the package it went to York,PA so that delayed my for delivery so I'm getting it today
 
bank email, denied charge 5.27am ET
apple email, card was denied 7.01am ET
bank text about unauthorized charges, reactivate card, 8.01am ET.

card reauthorized, apple store notified to recharge card, called to verify card was charged

apple email, order changed (nothing changed) 8.40am ET

Order Status at 9.10am ET: Processing Items

:mad:

changed from processing for shipping to shipped at 6.30pm last night to out for delivery this morning. that is much more gratifying than following it all the way from China. Originated in KY.
 
I am still waiting

That is ridiculous! I have never heard of such a thing happening with Apple products. Guess that's what we get for buying $100 Chinese-manufacturered watches. Sorry... Feeling a bit beyond frustrated this morning. Still processing.

Yea, I was kinda shocked! They said they would send me the replacement overnight yesterday so I would get it today, but nope, no movement on the status! B.S. So as of right now its dead, and I have to wait for my charging cord I purchased to arrive!

That's seriously messed up man! Tried contacting Apple CS again?

Are you I crown heights Brooklyn? You can borrow mine.

This. ###. This is what Apple people do for each other. ##
 
I'm as pessimistic as anyone, but we DO still have 4.5 business days remaining for them to get our shipments out on 5/7, for overnight delivery on 5/8.

So let's give them that. And THEN we go show up in Cupertino with pitchforks.
 
Frustrated

I ordered a SS watch with a malinese band 9 minutes after midnight on the 24th and it's still processing. :(

The 24th or the 10th? I'm assuming 10th.

You need to see some action ASAP because I'm XX:10:00— on the dot, according to Apple. I was XX:09:00 according to my computer, clock set auto via 'Net.

When I see action on yours, it will give me hope that I too will see some soon.

My spare cord arrived a little while ago, got a full charge on the watch now, Apple is surprisingly very helpful and I'm told they will accommodate me for the problem i faced. I'll keep everyone posted on what happens.
 
well its been one week in with still no processing if this watch is not delivered by the date then i'm really gonna be pissed and gonna call.

I felt your pain, You will get it soon, I can feel it. I just got mine yesterday, never thought the status would change from processing hell. I know its hard, hang in there!

You should get a commission on charger cord sales. After reading about your dilemma, I decided to order an extra charger right now. (The shorter one.)

During the process, I was able to fully test the Apple Store Gift Card and Apple Store App scenario. It just doesn't work. My Gift Card is in Passbook. But there's no way to input a Gift Card into the App and the only way that Passbook and the Apple Store are connected is that the GC in Passbook has a tab that allows the user to open the Apple Store App.

I was in communications with ACS throughout the operation, and it was a bit rewarding to hear them get as frustrated as I have been with this.

The only way we found to use an Apple Store Gift Card was via the online website— where there is no place to *store* the GC for use, same as you would a credit card. So every time you use the GC, you must re-enter that deadly long PIN #.

ACS was pretty appalled by the situation. :)
