When should we see a change in our order status if the watch would be arriving by the 24th?

Probably next Monday or Tuesday. Believe me, good dont take long to come in from China. I have offered good before from China and they were on my door step in the uk, three days later

What I remember about my last preorder went something like this

Friday order, straight to processing
Saturday (8 days later) it went to preparing for shipment
Tuesday (11 days later) it went to shipped
Got it Friday (14 days later)

Yeah I looked up my old order, it was 1 week. It was still Saturday when I saw the first movement. All the days between first movement and actual shipping is what sticks in my mind. I thought it was stuck in Korea and my container would not make the first wave.
 
Has anyone ever went and picked up their shipment when it's at the facility near your home that way you can get it 1-2 days early? Once I get a tracking number I'm going to call the deliverer and try this.

I tried that w/ UPS in Canada a couple of years ago when I ordered an iPad and I couldn't do that until the first or second failed delivery attempt. Rules might've changed now.

They are instructed and contractually obligated to not deliver or release it before the release date. They do this all the time for various release-day deliveries.

You have a better chance of saying nothing, and by dumb luck having your watch slip through the cracks and being delivered early, than actually talking to human beings at FedEx and getting them to search through tens of thousands of boxes for your tracking number, then giving it to you, even though the instructions say not to.

For the iPhone 6+ they let me hold it for pickup at a UPS destination without any delivery attempts. I'm assuming the same will be true regarding the watch.

Apple Pay has to because the token can't be used for two transactions, on a credit card, a $1 test transaction goes through jus to make sure the card is valid, Apple Pay must do it all up front as the $1 charge would be considered the transaction and the token no longer valid. Also, I doubt tokens remain open fr two weeks anyway, so even if they did hold onto the token, it would be dead by the time they try and charge it, also, I'm assuming when you make a new Apple Pay purchase, any previous unused tokens become invalid. So that's why Apple Pay must charge in full up front.

I used apple pay and there is no pending charge on my credit card whatsoever. But I have an order processing with a delivery date of 4/24-5/8 so I don't think this can be right.

I assume that's how it will go but it can't hurt to try and call to ask. If the tracking hints at a early delivery, I obviously won't go through with my plan.

I paid with Apple Pay through my debit card and I have yet to see any charges.

Did you end up picking up your iPhone before release day?

No they did not. I also did UPS "Will Call" and the package was not available until launch day. The nice thing though - your iPhone was ready for pickup when UPS opened at 8am, so no waiting at home for the UPS Truck to show up :)

Wow, thanks for letting me know, I'm definitely doing that! I'll surely be at the UPS Center as soon as they open at 8AM.

Edit: More information from UPS website on this for others like me who want their Apple Watch ASAP https://www.ups.com/content/us/en/shipping/time/service/value_added/hold_pickup.html

Im in the UK
Ordered something made in Hong Kong on say Monday morning, (it was a charity thing), expected it to be delivered in a week or so.
Got an email with 24hr tracking on it....

I also ordered something from the UK for the same thing (base), and it was Royal Mail Special Delivery.

You can guess what one turned up first... the one from Hong Kong arrived at about 1230, the Royal Mail Special Delivery at 1245...

:eek:

I'm hoping I can do this on the 24th. Both Fedex and UPS come late in the day/evening. I much rather wake up and go pick it up at my local distributor when they open. Then run to apple to show off a bit and get applecare + then run home to go play :D :cool:
 
Ordered the Sport 42mm

Paid with :apple:pay but never saw any pre-authorizaition.

Delivers on 4/24 :)

Wondering when the charge will go through?
