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?

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.
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.
