The $6.49 app? There is also a parcel app for free, do they essentially do the same thing? Or is the deliveries app worth the extra money for a certain reason?

1. You can add more than 3 orders, parcel caps out unless you subscribe for a yearly $2.
2. Notifications center widget. Mac too.
3. Apple watch app soon.
Agree with that as well. Just not sure why the 2 week window. 4/24 is included in the range. I assume that at least someone will get their Watch that day or it wouldn't be listed as a possible delivery date. The whole window thing just confused me. New people in charge though now. So who knows. Maybe it's just a new thing they're trying out. Lord knows they've tried several new things this launch (Online only. Try-ons. Demos available in store before available for purchase in store). Ah well. Not too worried. Worst case I have mine on the 8th. At least it won't be June
Assuming these are shipping out of China we will start to see order status movement by late tonight early Monday morning.
If these don't move by tomorrow morning it means one of two things:
1. The watches are already in the US and will ship out later in the week and begin getting in hands by Friday
or
2. China ships out late and some will get on Friday while others not until the following week.
I have been through this time and time again with multiple iPhone and iPad launches and its always the same. Sunday night no movement and people start worrying that they won't get it on launch yet apple always pulls through and delivers.
Guess we will have to wait and see but I personally would not worry about it until Tuesday - if by then there is no status update then yeah its probably not happening unless #1 up above.

I don't believe the Parcel app will accept Apple order numbers. I think it only takes tracking numbers from major delivery services.
it's worth getting because the developer provided the desktop widget for free (still does). The cost for the ios app, and the syncing function, and supporting the developer is worth it for me, from that perspective at least. If you don't use the desktop component it may be harder to spend the cash on the mobile piece.
I've had the Deliveries app for years now and absolutely love it. Very handy to have everything in one app. Plus the widget and the Mac app as well.
Best bets and what I have used in the past:
1. Check UPS & FedEX and select Track by Reference Number.
DO NOT USE your Order number as your reference as it is inaccurate with the carriers. Instead use your phone number (that is used on your order), Zip Code and Destination Country. Once your item has been assigned a shipping tag it will show, if nothing shows then UPS and FedEX will not find anything.
2. Check order status via apple - just remember that apple order status lags and option #1 above will almost always show that your product shipped about 4-6 hours before it is reflected via apple.
Thanks you sold me. Just purchased it for my mac. Do I need to pay extra for the iPhone app? Isn't it just one purchase for the Mac and iPhone app?

dude, we went through this HOURS AGO.....YOU PEOPLE SHOULD READ MORE OF THE THREAD BEFORE POSTING.
My Deliveries App now say's "19 Days" which VERY BADLY contradicts the personal countdown I have which says, "5 Days!"
Disclaimer: I know the app is meant to showcase the amount of days for worst case scenario but it sure is frightening to look at.

Already included in the last week's update of Deliveries.
Well unless you've already got your Watch, we will still get it soon
Those using the Deliveries app need to look at the tweet from Junecloud. They are having problems with Apple orders updating and are working on fixing the problem...
Deliveries for me doesn't even give me a timeframe, it says 'Delivery date unknown' for me. Shows up my order just fine though.
