It will most likely sit at customs for 2 to 3 days then another 2 days once it takes off for Alaska

I am in Australia and it usually gets through customs reasonably quick. However it has just been stuck for 2 days and looks to have finally left China. Status on Apple is shipment delayed 😭

Mine sat for days.
Apple originally said Oct 3, UPS said Oct 1.
I got a delay email from UPS.
Then I got an out for delivery on Oct 1.

they have no idea how this plays on our emotions.

there seems also to be a 99usd ultraviolet on eBay too.. having a real hard think...
Wore mine yesterday.
In the Apple store I was called a phony.
(Kidding around)
I told the associate I originally bought it with the full intention of returning it..
 
Loving your photos, really makes me want to get a ceramic next time. I love the yellow bands and have the lemon cream, yellow, and lemonade.

I know you said lemon cream is slightly darker than mellow yellow. Is it a noticeable difference? Just trying to decide whether to bother tracking down the hard to find mellow yellow or not. You don’t have comparison pics of them two by any chance?

Mellow Yellow vs Lemon Cream. The halogen lighting distorts the color/hue a little but the photo accurately represents the difference in tint.

The difference is noticeable. Hope this helps
 
I just bought the Hibiscus NIB from amazon for $24. I was on the fence with this one.
 
i just bought that one, and the green one, and the Hermès orange.

That 2nd series of bands had some real beauties I originally missed out on.

Can I ask if it was from eBay seller chargerstore? I’m SOOOO curious if that sellers band are legit
 
Hello there
Do we know why, after 3 weeks, it is still not possible to pickup the ceramic at the store? Is it done by request only or could we expect some stocks in store by Christmas?

I prefer not getting it delivered.

There is somethng about that trader in the accessories forum. He advertises showing a box but doesn’t ship with a box as he says it adds to the shipping costs. Sounds dodgy

It is from that seller, between the thread here and eBay reviews if seems legit.

I do wonder how the seller gets the merchandise. Apple has enough of a business relationship with China that the Chinese government would have shut down this seller if the goods were fake.

in my country we got occasional restocks in certain days that change the pickup status in the Apple store app..

I have purchased a number of bands from them, and some did include the box. I believe these are OEM bands (they are identical to ones I have purchased direct from Apple) that they secure from various sources - some used (which they will mark as such), some from factory rejects for cosmetic reasons (which again, they will note the defects) and others that are cosmetically flawless, but were rejected for some other reason.
 
no the orange is awesome! really like that shade! unfortunately my wrists are too small for hermes models so i can't ever get that sport band :( and apple orange shades are just reddish most of the time..

just ordered a papaya band, hope it looks nice..

Right I totally forgot they do not make them in small! :(

The associate at my store said that the only stores that get the ceramic to keep in stock are the ones with a vault in the back, which most of the stores do not have for space reasons. The flagship stores have them, but most of the average retail locations are not going to have them, unfortunately.
