Just called them. Said they received no shipment today but possibly this week.
I love the "possibly". Shipments were coming in every 2 or 3 days a week ago.
My wife is getting antsy.
You can't just say "YES" without providing any details. Come on man. Hook us up!
Welp, now that I know I'm getting a lovely tax refund, I'm considering hitting Maxfield tomorrow morning since I have the day off (yes, I know, I'm lucky I happen to live in L.A., I would be completely frustrated, and wouldn't bother, if I was trying to order from Apple with a July shipping estimate, ugh)... From the past few posts it sounds like supply might be slowing down there? Anyone go this afternoon and have some idea of what they have?
I just called and spoke to a guy and of course he didnt really have much info. All he said is that they are expecting new shipment sometime by the end of the week. I asked about the 42 SG BSB that I ordered and he said that is the most popular order. I also asked what they currently have in stock and he said all they have are a few 38 Milanese.
Jeez, first they say new shipment on Monday, then Tuesday, and now end of the week.. Sigh
One of my co-workers ordered the 38 SS with the black sports band for his wife on Thursday directly from Apple.com and it shipped the same day. So he said that while he is waiting for his Maxfield's order to finally show up (since they have no idea when they are getting shipments) he ordered the same thing for himself - a 38 SS black sports to "learn/test out" while waiting for his Maxfiled's order and then will just return it within the 14 day return time that Apple offers.
Just based on when I called yesterday to check on my order and posted it here. They told me last night when I called they haven't received a shipment since last week and the only thing they have in stock is the 38mm milanese. They said they are hoping to have a shipment in by the end of the week. So unless something changed or he was lying to me, all they have in stock is the 38mm milanese.
It is really sad that this is the only retail store in all of America and Apple is not keeping them well stocked. It is quite pathetic actually. People were told that it was going to be just a few days wait for their orders and some of us have been waiting over a week. I am sure there are others that have been waiting even longer with no idea when we are going to get what we paid for. At least with Apple when you go onto Apple.com it gives you an approx. ship date and you are not charged until it ships and can cancel anytime if you want and have 2 weeks once you receive it to return it. Where with Maxfield's we are being told "soon" and then once we pay them (with no refunds allowed) then we are told, they have no idea when we are going to get what we paid for. I know it is not Maxfield's fault. They can only sell what Apple sends them and are at Apple's mercy. But I would think Apple could do a better job at fulfilling the Maxfield's orders.

I agree. I preordered the 42mm SG BSB on Wednesday (5/6/15) and assumed it will take 1-3 days. Now I'm hearing it will take 1-2 weeks. Few people who ordered before me haven't received their shipment in either. A bit disappointing but I hope they start getting the orders out ASAP.
I called again. Still nothing. I ordered on 5/2/15.
They said they expect shipment this week, and I said not today? And she said it's possible they receive something today but are definitely expecting one this week.
Am supposedly next in line for the 38 SG BSB
