Series 4 Pre-order thread

[specik]

44mm Black Stainless here. Ordered right as orders opened up.
Already charged on CC, watch is in "preparing to ship" but is already in transit via UPS:

Shanghai, China 09/17/2018 6:00 P.M. Arrival Scan
Suzhou, China 09/17/2018 5:45 P.M. Departure Scan
09/17/2018 3:54 P.M. Origin Scan
China 09/17/2018 8:35 A.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS

Hopefully its getting on a plane to get state side soon! No movement on my XS Max though.

There is a UPS flight 81 which took off from Shanghai 4 hours ago and is scheduled to land in Anchorage in about 2:45. Could be a winner. Next stop is Anchorage to Louisville.

I was able (just now) to change the delivery to my nearest UPS CC location (Anaheim, California). I called the UPS 800 number to do it. I changed both of my deliveries (iPhone and Watch). The lady said both packages would be available for pickup between 7:30 AM and 7:00 PM on Friday, the 21st. So, I'm thinking I'll go there before work! Nice!

Could be that one. But I think the timing here might be wrong, or they were just not very accurate on the time of scanning. Although Suzhou and Shanghai are very close, they couldn’t just get there in 15mins. Plus the traffic on the highways in China. Might be on the flight now. D

Is this also working for deliveries to Europe?

In my case no, this UPS “trick” didn’t work

 

[greytmom]

Is anyone else seeing this? Before it said delivery was on 9/21, but now it says “date tentative.” (The other one is the phone.)

When I open it up to look at the detail, it still says Friday delivery.

 

[Toonartist]

No, not got that one. Mine just says Order in Progress with "Delivers 21 Sep by Standard Shipping"

I have an arrival time for Shanghai but not a departure time. I guess we will find out some update in a few hrs.


Does apple update to “shipped” once it hits the US?

Ordered a 44 SS in Silver from Apple. Confirmation came at 12:14 AM PST with a delivery date range of 10/5-10/12. It still says that on my Apple store account. However I did the reference number trick and I have a delivery date of 09/21

Lucky you! I ordered the 44SS SB 9 minutes after midnight but order status still showing processing and Sept 28-Oct 2 delivery. UPS trick brings up nothing.

anyone picking up there watch in store on Friday?

Usually, once an Apple product makes it to Shanghai, it has to clear customs first before being loaded and flown out to Anchorage, AK...for U.S. orders. Based on past experience, this can vary between 8-20 hours most of the time. For my iPhone X if I remember, Apple didn't update it's status that it actually shipped until it was in Alaska or already in Memphis...

Have you changed your order at all (e.g. destination address)?

I'm an exact duplicate of your two orders―at least with respect to an Apple Watch (space grey/Al) and XS Max (space grey/0.5 TB). My statuses are exactly the same as yours.

I got tracking also, and it is in Shanghai as of posting this

Nope.

Ordered two 44mm Apple Watch Series 4s (GPS + Cellular, 44mm Space Gray w/Blk Sport Band) last Friday. Picking up from the Apple Store 9/21!

Exactly what I have

 

[DianaMR]

Has anyone’s watch left Shanghai yet? Mine has been there 13-1/2 hrs.

 

[OBirder]

I had a quick look on Apple’s trade in website, to see what I could get for my Series 0 42mm Apple Watch (still 100% in perfect working order) and they quoted £50.

Is this the going rate for a Series 0 Watch ?

This is pretty good compared to the US. I check on my Series 0 42mm Stainless Steel in perfect conditions and Apple trade in is $25.

Yes, by now I have that on the 2 watches and 1 phone. Only the phone that as an Export Scan and is in Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong doesn't have it. (if anything I expected Hong Kong been delayed). All others seem to route via Shanghai.
They all have moved during the day to tentative. The phone actually only in the last few hours.

To clarify I did not make any changes to the order and I have pending charges and all seems to be in order.

my SGSS 44mm charged but our other 42mm hasnt. cant find its tracking number anywhere.

Wonder if the weather is causing them to back off of firm dates.

I have the same range. So for this trick you just remove the “W” and search by reference number?

Keep the W. Just remove the last two digits from your order.

 

[blhoward2]

Has anyone seen their delivery date for the 44 mm stainless bump up? I ordered within 2-3 minutes of the store coming back up and got an Oct 2-5 delivery window.
