Why are people comparing Canadian Apple Watch shipments with USA shipments. One has nothing to do with the other. Could Apple treat the countries as one with regard to shipping orders in order? Maybe but they don't do they?

The wait is over.

42SG BSB ordered 20h:13m:32s after pre-order open just went to PFS and money on CC is gone.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

I'm from Sydney in the land of Oz!

I hope you are waiting on a stainless steel wsb because the aluminum models are shipping past your date
 
My wait is almost over. Overnight my account was charged for both the watch and AppleCare. My ship dates were updated, and my status changed. Hopefully I'll have my gadget Tuesday.
 
...

And, this "strangeness" leads you to believe that all Canadian pre-orders of all SKU's are getting put ahead of US orders.

Brilliant. Truly.

I suppose only "true brilliance" is to accuse others of spreading lies, and then when faced with proof, to double down and refuse to acknowledge that you made an error.

It matter because on several threads users have reported that conversations with Apple have indicated that Apple is shipping strictly on supply and order date/time. That is not the case. Canadian orders are shipping before U.S. orders on the same models.

Canadian orders are made different. There are different rules and different labeling requirements. Obviously there are a lot less Canada orders so you will see later dates faster

So is the UK, Germany, and Australia.

Of course they are. However, that is not what Apple executive team members have said when queried about the disparity. They have continued to say that it is strictly by model and date/time of order.

Usr Zeich's spreadsheet tells the story precisely. Trying to estimate your order being fulfilled is more than finding others with the same model. The country is important as well.

Unless you are a celebrity...
 
I ordered the SS Pink MB (small) on 4/10 at 1pm and I'm still on the eternal "processing" mode. Yesterday I finally got a shipping window of June 9-June 15 and today it switch to June 10 - June 15 (which is a week before the estimate delivery date if you order the same watch today....) Not a very happy camper now. :(
 
Holy SMOKES this has been a true exercise in patience. I've done everything possible to stay busy. Make the time pass. New awesome games like "Mega Refresh" and "Dude, Where's My Plane?" really helped. And my house has never been more tidy. Then tonight, it happened. It all changed. I now have something beyond a distant date range...

My credit card. Has been. Charged.

No other form of updates. Yet.
But I will happily welcome my friend, a charged card notification.

Grinning.

Congrats!! "Mega Refresh" is still my current favorite game. I should clean my apartment as an attempt to stay busy and not keep playing refresh the order status page..
 
They just updated the Apple Store app.

FINALLY I CAN USE MY FINGERPRINT TO CHECK ORDER STATUS!!!!

I ordered my White 38mm Silver Aluminum Sport on 5/18 (4 days ago).

On 5/20:
Processing
Available to ship 4-6 weeks
Delivers 6/17-6/30

Today, 5/22:
Processing
Available to ship 2-3 weeks
Delivers 6/16-6/22

Seems like Apple is catching up, or simply under promising and over delivering.. like they're known for.

Ordered mine early 5/9 and was quoted 5th/18th and now 11-17 ... so my date went backwards :( But quotes of 2-3 weeks from purchase do not align with those dates just with the longer wait ...

Reminds me of when I preordered my 2010 Camaro RS back in 2008.... Waited and waited and waited....

Never did get the Camaro.

Was originally July for my SG BSB...Now all orders have been bumped to June...

Processing Items Available to ship: 2-3 weeks
Delivers: 16 Jun, 2015 - 22 Jun, 2015 by Standard Shipping

Wonder if this order will still be broken up, but as of today they are all under the same delivery. I wonder if Apple is consolidating orders to save on shipping costs. I have two watches and a band on this order. They would lose money by overnighting three separate items.

What country are you in and did you get the 42 or 38?
 
...I wonder if Apple is consolidating orders to save on shipping costs. I have two watches and a band on this order. They would lose money by overnighting three separate items.
Interesting you bring that up. I have 1 watch and 2 bands on order, bands have been stuck 'preparing for shipment' for a few days now and no movement on the watch (still 'processing' 6/22-6/29).

Normally PFS status changes to 'shipped' rather quickly, so it'll be interesting to see if I get any Watch status updates next.

...or just saying all this to keep myself happy with the wait from a 4/11 order. :p
 
About to consider canceling my 42mm SS WSB and ordering a 38mm. I really want the extra screen real estate, but I'm so goddamn impatient. :p Would it be mean to get and use a 38mm until I can exchange it for a 42mm?

I wouldn't. It's not right to do something like that. But to each is own. Might as well wait, since you've waited this long.
