Mine now changed to clearance in progress. Don’t think I’ll see it today. Too bad because I ordered it a little after
3am on pre-order day.
I have all the same shipping. If you really watch the shipping though, that is just lagged behind. I imagine we are all getting them Monday, but if you read the timing that’s just a UPS glitch. The clearance is actually earlier than leaving China. It’s really on a plane somewhere.

Mine (40mm, Aluminum, gold, LTE) was ordered afternoon of the 14th with delivery window of 10/12-10/19. Have been notified it shipped and it shows as still being in China. UPS says delivery today (which is absurd).

Apple.com and the email says 9/27 which seems reasonable.
 
Now I got this.

We currently have the package. The receiver requested clearance by a non-UPS broker. / As requested, the package was transferred to a Free Trade Zone or a non-UPS broke
 
The status for my Series 4 SS 44mm is no longer scheduled to be delivered today as it was in the morning and this whole situation was indeed a glitch as I suspected and UPS screwed up big time. The status now says “
Clearance in Progress The package is at the clearing agency awaiting final release.“
 
I traced my order on UPS - W5616270. Looks like it made it to Santa Barbara County today, and it's delivered. How did you guys trace your individual watch from the main group to your individual delivery? I haven't seen a change on my order status, nor have I been charged.

Is it just a matter of waiting for my deliver notice?
 
Got my watch about an hour and a half ago! I got the 40mm silver aluminum w/cellular. AT&T had given me a 9/24-10/1 window, but I got a notice yesterday that I was getting it today, and it beat both the AT&T pre-ordered XS and the Apple pre-ordered XS Max (both due to arrive today also).

Anyway, it looks awesome, but I won’t be pairing it until I get my new phone and set it all up. I can’t wait!

Also, I realized after I posted this is likely the Apple pre-order thread and my order was with AT&T, so I apologize.

I tracked mine by my apple order #...WXXX but left off the last two numbers. Tracked by reference with that. The UPS tracking #, Z1XXXX that was displayed when doing it that way, stayed the same throughout the whole process...So if you are able to track by that, that is your delivery...

Apparently not. I followed that advice and it was delivered to someone in Santa Barbara. I'm in Orlando.
 
I'm not seeing anyone with a 44MM SS having it delivered today?!
I ordered a SS 44mm SB at 12:08am PT, delivery date came back 10/2-5 and I haven’t seen any billing or change in the dates. This model must have been popular, 8 minutes after preorder start was too late for 9/21 delivery.

The reference number is actually a batch number, that is why you see it showing as delivered to another location. On the UPS tracking page scroll down below where you put the reference number and put your country and zip code, that narrows it down to your delivery.

I ordered 44mm SS from T-Mobile on 8/14 (ordered via T-Mo to take advantage of 0% financing via EIP). Took an hour to finally get someone to place my order via Twitter DM. Order was placed around 1:30 am pacific time.

I got a "ships 9/21 - 10/2" date.

Today, just now really, I got a text that my order has shipped, with a tracking number. It is at a UPS hub in Louisville and will delivery to me in Florida on Monday, Sept 24th.

(Space black SS with Milanese Loop)

Just picked up mine from the UPS CC.

Coming from the S0, by god this is so fast and fluid.

Did you use the same tracking number off your order, on the Apple website? If so, that is yours...If they match, then your watch went to someone else...hope not!
 
Still have not seen anyone with a 44MM stainless steel with a milanese loop. I ordered within a couple minutes of pre order. 12:04 Am. It's showing delayed until Monday 9/24 on UPS now, but still 9/21 on Apple orders. Apple confirmed via chat a lot of people are reporting this, and it's on UPS' end. I'm not sure how true that is. Either way seems like I'm not getting the watch until Monday. :/

I'm not sure I understand the difference. I logged onto Apple's web site, looked at my order, and used that order number. Is there a different order number somewhere else?

If so, that would be truly confusing.

I was just asking if your order, on the Apple website had a UPS tracking # or you were sent tracking by Apple. If it's still "in process" then you won't have that yet. Apple doesn't send out the tracking number until it gets to Louisville, from China. I did the track by reference and used my Apple order #...WXXX and let off the last two numbers. For me, the tracking number on the UPS website stayed the same through the entire process...from China, to Louisville and now out to me in California. What also worked for me, was using your 10 digit phone number (at least in the U.S.) as the reference number to track...
 
Well got the bad news. Apparently the power went out at the sorting facility, so it couldn’t be sent out today. Guess I’ll wait until Monday.
