Series 4 Pre-order thread

Amazingly UPS delivered my whole shipment to me this morning while I was on the phone with Apple support. Apple support ended up refunding me the cost of my iPhone case and gave me a coupon for a discount on my next Apple store app purchase because my delivery was delayed by UPS. I wasn’t expecting to get the delivery on a Saturday morning and had resided myself to getting on Monday, so in the end UPS redeemed themselves a bit.

My SS Space Black 44mm is still set for Sept 28-Oct 2. I have seen it available at either local apple stores. Is this model even stocked at the stores? Also anyone on the same time frame get earlier shipping?
 
Loving the series 4. Wish there was a way to add numbers to the dials of the info graph face. Or have more complications on a digital one.

Nope my order has not moved at all yet same as yours. The had some in stock but non of it was at the apple stores near me
 
Mine came today after ordering from Best Buy yesterday. Gold aluminum case. It.Is.Beautiful. I had a 1st Gen. watch and this one is so great. I bought the one with cellular, but haven't activated yet. Can't wait for the ECG app.

I was going to order from Apple.com but the earliest delivery date was October 19. When I checked with Best Buy yesterday I could get next day delivery. Awesome!

Now to think about whether I want the iPhone Xs....

Congratulations! I got an Oct 8 - Oct 15 delivery window with a 3:11 AM EST Sep 14 confirmation e-mail. Your post gives me hope that the shipping status of my order will change soon. I ordered two Apple Watch Series 4 (GPS + Cellular), 44mm Stainless Steel Case, with White Sport Band.

I got a Oct 12-17 Delivery date, but this morning I got a “Shipped” notification, with delivery by 27th September...very surprised and happy!

I ordered the Stainless Space Black, not the Space Gray Alum. (trust me i have to re-read things just to make sure I say the right watch config I ordered.)

Yea, didn't seem like any of my local stores ever got any. Hopefully they can fulfill prior to the date range.

I have... Orders - Apple 2018-09-23 08-55-49.jpg
 
Seems like US orders are shipping much more efficiently than orders in the UK.

I’ve ordered a 44mm Silver AL w/ Sport Loop. Ordered at 08:11am, when the estimate was 1-8th Oct. It was then pushed back to 8th-15th Oct.

Still no movement!
 
My original estimated delivery date was 12-19 October, so I was happy to see it shipped yesterday. But then it seemed to grind to a halt at customs in China. Is it normal to take this long at customs? The Apple order system still tells me to expect it on 25 September, but UPS tracking has no estimate of delivery.

I ordered the 40 gold Aluminum GPS-only, with pink sports loop.

This happened with my phone. It’s still in Hong Kong. My local store had one, which I walked into and bought. Apple rerouted the package intransit back to their warehouse (with no resistance, either). My watch was Oct 2-5 but hadn’t shipped yet so I could just cancel that one online...they had those too.
 
Well my watch got delayed on Friday morning, because of a power outage at the UPS facility. Hopefully I will get it tomorrow, but there hasn’t been an update to my tracking.

My watch departed Suzhou 2 full days ago, and still appears to be in Chinese customs. If it somehow clears and makes it to me on the US east cost by Apple’s delivery date of 25 September, I’ll be amazed. This was my first time preordering an Apple product (around 6 am Eastern time on 14 September). Next time I will just wait until the initial rush is over and buy from my nearest Apple store (they currently have none in stock).

EDIT: So it just now departed Shanghai. There is hope yet!
