I’m about to lay hands on this Verizon rep I dealt with!!!
Bank flagged the watches and I called to update payment as it had been over an hour with no email to fix it (bank sent an email and I verified the purchase so it could be re-run but had not gotten the verizon email with the link to re-enter payment).
This absolute idiot knew I said to not cancel the order and did it anyway. I blew my top and laid him out because, ironically, less than 3 minutes later, the email to correct the payment came in. I had told him if they couldn’t reprocess the card, then just leave the order alone and I would wait.
2 and a half hours later, after putting me through to his supervisor, they placed the order again (and couldn’t reuse the discounts I had on the first order) so I have to pay a higher amount (discounts essentially took care of upgrade fees and $50 off each watch). The supervisor apologized profusely and put in a Jump the Line request with the promise that I should get the watches Friday as scheduled originally (Gold SS 44 says 9/21 in the new order, SB SS 44 says 10/17 now) and he credited an additional $170 to my bill for the screw up. I swear, it doesn’t pay to deal with reps at Verizon at all! Those watches both better come in Friday or I will up and leave Verizon. I pay way too much for that level of incompetence. I mean, I said several times, “Do NOT cancel my order”

Sorry, I meant 44mm Gold SS with Milanese Band. The one with the Sport Band was definitely available for launch day delivery.
I’m still sitting in Shanghai but there are a couple flights in the morning so I’m hoping to see Alaska arrival in 8-10 hours
Wow I couldn’t imagine the amount of sheer stupidity. I had Verizon for a while and I agree they are too expensive to have such terrible customer service. I’m so glad I left Verizon.
If you sign up, my choice, any packages headed to your address will just show up on their own.. then you will see what most of us are watching.. here’s mine:

Yes.. Apple won’t update until it hits the states, but check the ups app and you will feel better
Thank you! I guess since it hasn’t had a label created yet it won’t show up. Hopefully tomorrow there will be some movement!View attachment 783652

Mine is supposed to be picked up at local Apple store. How will this show up in UPS??
FlightAware.com .. I’m not sure mind you, but I’m hoping...

Ahh good point yeah those won’t work like the home deliveries, sorry!
They ordered through apple, not sprint. You can track by reference through apple, not sure about sprint.
Lucky! You guys are already leaving Anchorage, headed to the UPS World Port. We’re still sitting in Shanghai! Hopefully we see some movement tonight!
Yours should come tomorrow

Worst case senerio would be movement tomorrow during the day
I would certainly hope so.. I’m going to sleep and check after those two flights I circled just to see if I’m on the right track.. I really don’t know if that’s how they come (on ups flights from that airport) but I’ll get some sleep for the next 6 hours before checking again.

Oh, just saw your tagline.. have to laugh, I stopped by the ups counter today, and you should have seen the deer in the headlights look I got when I said Apple deliveries were due Friday. LOL I’m not sure what he was thinking but it was obvious he had no idea.

Lol must be a new guy
Apparently my watch doesn’t want to leave Shanghai.
Mine is still on « preparing shipment » since Saturday. I am from Europe and cannot track by reference.
