Did you have a departure scan for a while before this happened or did it just show up all at once?
 
I got the departure from Shanghai this afternoon. It was sitting there for a while.

Still showing in Shanghai as of right now.. wondering if it’s already left and just delayed showing up, because the time it arrived in Shanghai was the same as yours.

Here’s a thought, it appears to me, that as far as I can tell, the phones/watches that have already departed China seems to be for Western US customers, while those still in China seem to be in the east and Midwest. Does anyone know if all shipments from China go to Louisville first? If so it makes sense that west coast shipment need more time in the US and they would be shipped out of China first. Just a theory.

Yeah, that makes the most sense.

Not sure about that...I'm located in California and as of this afternoon, no update yet...Seems like it's still in Shanghai or UPS hasn't updated my status yet for a departure to AK...

Shanghai, China 09/17/2018 7:04 P.M. Arrival Scan
Suzhou, China 09/17/2018 6:49 P.M. Departure Scan
09/17/2018 6:13 P.M. Origin Scan
China 09/16/2018 5:11 A.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS
 
It's always about this time when I get nervous that I haven't seen more movement. I have an arrival scan in Incheon, Korea on one order and an arrival scan in Shanghai, China on another and then nothing.
 
Woke up and found out that my card was declined, my credit card company thought it was fraud. I updated the credit card, and now my watch is showing "processing" still, but shows a 21st delivery date. Anyone else have this happen to them?
Had this happen last year with iPhone X order. It didn’t affect my delivery and it arrived on time.
 
I don't work for UPS, but from what I do know, what makes sense, especially if Apple wants all orders to be delivered on the 21st, is your location to the nearest UPS distribution center. As an example, I live in the Sacramento, California area, and have a large west cost UPS hub, 20 minutes down the road. So anything being delivered to me, has to be there by Thursday or by like 6am on Friday, to make it on to a truck to be delivered that day...If you live more than a day or more away from a major distribution center, then Apple would want those shipments out first, so they have an extra day or two to get through the UPS system, and delivered on-time, say compared to me...

I know it is somewhere on here but can someone tell me the trick to look it up with UPS or whatever the trick is to look it up by order #
 
I believe all go from CN to AK but from there some go to CA vs KY, so theory could be correct.

Mine is still in Shanghai since 9/17 6:42pm and I live 1.5 hrs up from Louisville.
