As OP said.....
TOMORROW is the day guys!
Tomorrow!

I have a reliable source too!

The Witcher 3 will be released....

Oh.... wrong website...
sorry......
 
This UPS friend of yours, does his name happen to be Tony? If so, does he have a mustache? Does he have a half Croatian step mom? Because if so, I'm starting to believe this info is true.
 
I received notification today the two bands I ordered are shipping tomorrow.

It could be Apple is making another large distribution.

Same. I got a shipping notice today for my link bracelet, but not ups its shipping through ontrac.
 
It's weird. The link bands shipped before the watches with link bands, but the Milanese Loop watches shipped before the bands. I got my ML band last week.

That is weird.

You had me until you posted this. That's NOT something someone from UPS would know.

lol Exactly.

Do you live in an area far from a major metropolitan area?
 
I would say that the UPS driver or whatever he/she is could be absolutely correct. It's not rocket science to figure out that Apple will ship a tremendous amount of watches if the warehouse/plane looks like the iPhone 6 launch. The boxes for Watch and Watch Sport are pretty recognizable.
 
He called me last week and said they have a crazy amount of watches being delivered and there are some of the new bands showing up. He did not know specifics about where the watches and bands are heading though. He knows I have been excited to get my hands on my order I placed for the 42mm SS BSB on April 20th, so he just called to reassure me that Apple is up to something BIG.

Well they did say there were going to ramp up production in the last few days. Maybe this is it.
 
He was right. Very right. Biggest wave I've seen. Go check out the SGS may 13-27 thread.

His past predictions have been correct too.

Any insight into when you will get yours?? Any insight into the next big wave OP?
 
New bands will be announced on Friday as well.

I wanted to believe this thread, but this came up.

I won't start the pitchfork mob just yet, but I hope at least the part about massive order movement holds true.
 
Lots of orders will be fufilled tomorrow is what my friend from UPS called and said.

well who knows maybe the the sports and leather loop bands i ordered might show up earlier then the 26th-1st which i honestly hope so for my 42mm SS milanese.

but my 42mm space grey apple watch still won't be hear for another month other wise they would of charged me by now.

(Update) I just checked apples website on my orders and my bands are preparing to ship!!!!!

Maybe he meant new bands will be announced as shipped?

Op could you clarify. Did you mean that Apple is announcing new band styles, types,colors etc on Friday?

Thanks!

We saw a lot of movement Monday as OP stated. I don't think it's out of the question that Apple will be announcing new bands for Watch users.
 
My Apple Watch 42mm SS with Black Sport Band is being delivered tomorrow by UPS apparently. There was no forewarning of preparing to ship or anything.
 
Well I have no idea if the OP has good information or not. But this view that "nobody knows" is just not true. There are guys driving the trucks and flying the planes. There are people involved with shipping these thousands of products. They do actually know the freight they are carrying. They can talk about it or not. Heck it isn't like delivery dates is a top secret thing.

If a UPS center receives a ton of Apple Watches I bet the guys at the center will know about it. Huge Apple shipments are actually a big enough volume that Even an organization as big as UPS is going to notice.

Actually you are 70% wrong.

Most of the time pilots and drivers have NO idea what cargo they are hauling. Its not like Apple ships these in plain sight. they are wrapped in various layers to protect the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cargo..

Next, pilots know they are hauling, "electronics, food perishables, ect". But nothings like, "apple watches". Somewhere along the lines someone can find out and let it slip, but that leads my next point... Pilots, staff and ANYONE involved with anything supply chain is under NDA/ They CANT talk about their cargo for the obvious reasons such as, safety.. Leaks happen yes, but this kids friend essentially is putting his job on the line just to spill some beans.. on shipment....

Heres a prediction... Apple will send another big shipment next week... Dont believe me, just go track the flights.


AND last,

DO YOU REALLY THINK that UPS doesn't handle planes FULL of cargo every single night? Or Apple just shows up and suddenly everyone at ups notices tons of new shipments? You don't think Samsung, Apple, Nokia, Blackberry, Toshiba, ect, don't use UPS and various other carriers for their cargo?

As in, fulfilling all of their orders? I mean.. Isn't it obvious what the big is? They are ramping up production every single day. This isn't news people.
