This script emails me when my order status changes, but it also prints the current status to the screen
It really does make for depressing reading

Yeah here it is with my details removed.
Code:
require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'
require 'pony'
Pony.options = {
:from => 'you@you.com',
:via => :smtp,
:via_options => {
:address => 'your-mailhost.you.com',
:port => '587',
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
:user_name => 'mail-user-name',
:password => 'mail-password',
:authentication => :login,
:domain => "localhost.localdomain"
}
}
a = Mechanize.new
a.user_agent_alias = 'Mac Safari'
url = 'http://store.apple.com/go/uk/vieworder/APPLE_ORDER_NO/EMAIL_ADDRESS/'
status = 'Processing Items'
while status == 'Processing Items'
page = a.get(url) rescue nil
if page
status = page.search('.h3 .strong')[0].text
delivery = page.search('.h5 > .block')[0].text.strip.gsub(/\s+/, ' ')
puts "#{Time.now.strftime('%H:%M:%S')} - #{status} - #{delivery}"
else
puts "#{Time.now.strftime('%H:%M:%S')} - Unable to contact Apple Store"
end
sleep 300
end
Pony.mail(:to => 'you@you.com', subject: "Apple Store Order ", body: "Order status now: #{status}\n\n#{url}")Mine has just been delivered by UK Mail two minutes early but I didn't get the 'you are next' text. Looks like I can cancel my two other orders now!

Lol glad to help....my waiting is not over yet, I have the new Macbook Space grey 12" on order with a late May - June delivery date
Ahh very nice man I was tempted but the lack of ports really put me off, and there is literally nothing wrong with my 2013 MacBook Air lol
It's agonising isn't it. I'm really hoping to see something change today.
Ditto! Im clicking that refresh button every 30mins wishing/hoping.
Good luck keep me posted
how's everyone doing today?
I got my watch yesterday. The wait was excruciating but it's totally worth it when it arrives.
Good luck and I feel your pain.

Yeah I thought the same as also had a Macbook Air that I bought in 2014, but I bought the extra ports lead and ended up succumbing to Apple's new toy!
How long after preparing for dispatch does it take to be delivered? I ordered another watch last night for my partner and its already been charged and preparing for dispatch. Originally estimated 4-6 weeks
Delivery: 29 May, 2015 - 11 Jun, 2015 by Standard Shipping

Just grinding my teeth with anticipation... I really hope today is the day I get charged for my 42mm SS BCB. I never thought I'd say this but: please Apple take my money haha
Im thinking the same thing... think I will if I don't move from 'Processing' today.
I wonder if they give me priority as i'm a manager of Apple authorised service centre probably not.
probably not.
Im thinking the same! Ordered 08:08 and nothing. The white seems a valid option, can always cancel/return I guess so no harm.
Yep. My 38mm stainless steel white sport band ordered April 26th is preparing for dispatch.
Will post screenshot proof when I'm at my desk.
Ha! Good for you.
Still waiting on my 42 SS BCB ordered on the 10th. It's clearly not a shortage of watches but of Classic Buckles. They're *reportedly* made by an artisan workshop in the Netherlends so maybe that's where the bottleneck is happening.
I got my Apple Watch a few hours ago around 11am and have been playing with it since. Really nice bit of kit, although not sure what uses it fulfills that my phone can't do but nevertheless I'm enjoying it. Hope everyone gets theirs soon!
