I'm in the USA and have a May 13 - May 27 ship date for a 42 sport silver, white band.
My status just changed to Preparing for Shipment, and the dates have not changed as of yet.

no bull.

I think there's a tidal wave of folks getting charged, so the bull factor can be removed now and we can take each other's word at it.

Congrats for getting pulled up from mid May delivery as well.

I'm sorry I doubted you. It's interesting how your delivery estimates didn't change though.

Mine just switched to preparing for shipment.

It looks like the sport model with white bands are starting to ship

Are you being notified of being charged, or just seeing the order status change?

I was triggered by the PayPal email for being charged, then I checked Apple Store for order status.

4-6 Week Delivery Window but got charged 2 hours ago and Preparing for Shipment!!!!

I preordered the 42mm Aluminum Sport with Blue Band. I got my order confirmation at 3:16 am on 4/10/15 with a 4-6 week delivery window of May 13-27. Suddenly today I got a notification for the credit card charge from Apple and then I checked my order status and it updated to "Preparing for Shipment".

I checked UPS My Choice and Fedex Insight and so far there is no package enroute yet from Apple. Nevertheless I am on CLOUD 9 and hoping it comes on Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

could this be that they're simply creating the labels? i've had someone create a label weeks in advance of shipping before. what does ups say for the delivery date?

Edit: So it looks like people are being charged too, which makes this even better! Nice!

Would they charge you potentially weeks in advance tho?

Such is life. Myself and many others are in the same boat. You'll get it by May 27th. Anything before that is just gravy.

mmmm....gravy

It's easier said then done (to be patient) when people with June delivery get Preparing for shipment...

Unless this dude is really in the far end for faking stuff, that video is one of the best myth busters I have seen on these boards.

Good job OP and congrats!

 

[bulbousnub]

Card charged, gift card balance is Zero now as well, moved to preparing for shipment.

 

[PTVMan]

Wish I could join in the fun. Still processing

I be damned...so basically 42mm Sport Space Gray (US) aren't seeing Preparing for Shipping but most white bands are. Congrats guys!

You never know, the space grays could get charged tomorrow. They must be doing them in color batches.

Yep! There's always hope for today for us 42SG (4-6). We may not get it on Friday, but next week sounds great to me!

The Sport with pink bands don't appear to be shipping yet either.

Both Space Grey Sport? When did you get the confirmation for the 4-6 week one? I don't mind not getting it tomorrow but I definitely want it before I leave on vacation next Saturday.
