I didn't pre-order the watch series 4 because I wanted to see it first before I buy. So I couldn't resist and decided to order one to be delivered. In the mean time I set up e-mail notification with istocknow.com to notify me if and when the one I wanted was in stock. Sure enough I get an e-mail today and quickly ordered one for in-store pick up and the other one I cancelled. SSSB SB Series 4.
Got a tip for us?

?!?
From Apple? I’ve been waiting since launch and they’ve pushed my order from 26 to 1st of oct.
No store in Australia has gotten the gold
Milanese yet
My SS Sport Band 44mm just changed to preparing for dispatch! Was initially in the 1-8 oct delivery date. Hope it will be dispatched shortly and maybe have it delivered by the end of the week..!
But after seeing the SS Gold, I am wondering if I will change my mind... the gold looks just great! Just not sure if would look great on me though.

I'm extremely late to the watch game. Just placed my order for SS SB Milanese Loop 44mm through AT&T. Currently estimated ship date is 10/31-11/7. Any orders been bumped up so far? My Series 3 is just fine...just wanna play with the new toy, y'know.
I ordered a SS Gold Milanese loop 44mm through Verizon on the 18th. Mine was said to ship by 11/7. It shipped today. So it’s possible yours could be bumped up.
I ordered two Apple Watches Series 4 GPS + Cellular, 44mm Stainless Steel Case with White Sport Band from the Apple Online Store on September 14th. With a confirmation e-mail stamped 3:12 AM EST I got an Oct 8 - Oct 15 delivery window. Today at 1:54 AM EST I got an e-mail alert of a temporary authorization placed on my credit card. The status of my order is now Preparing to Ship. Other orders having the same delivery window should be shipped earlier than estimated.

I was supposed to have 2 watches delivered yesterday, 9/25.
I have a similar message on my tracking in Louisville:
Louisville, KY, United States
09/25/2018 7:30 A.M. Due to operating conditions, your package may be delayed. / Delivery will be delayed by one business day.
That was yesterday morning, and still no new scans showing any movement for arrival today.
Update: the UPS app now shows the tracking numbers of the two Apple Watches I ordered. The shipping labels were created at 4:39 AM EST. The estimated delivery date is Oct 2.
same thing happened to me, got shipped and I was like **** yea. and then they had stock of it locally ...
Same thing happened to me Saturday. Apple site and UPS showed the Watch was supposed to be here Tuesday, so I figured I'd wait. Now it's been stuck in Louisville for 2 days, and I hove no ETA on beyond "delayed." In retrospect, I should have picked it up in the store Saturday and returned the shipped watch.same thing happened to me, got shipped and I was like **** yea. and then they had stock of it locally ...
I would definitely get it in my local AS if I could. First because I could return the other watch easily in a local AS, next because mine for example was set for the 1-8 oct window and changed to Preparing to ship this morning. So far it's still not shipped yet when people had there watch shipped with a initial window of 8-15oct.same thing happened to me, got shipped and I was like **** yea. and then they had stock of it locally ...
I'd say Apple is having some hard time dealing with all the orders...
My 44mm SS SB changed to “Preparing to ship” yesterday with a delivery of 9.28, and today back to “Processing“ with a delivery of 10.8 to 10.10... Anyone else have this happen?
Since I was planning to use my $15 third party Milanese loop with the watch anyway, I decided to change the order to the Pink Sport Band and pick it up at an Apple Store last night. My wife's watch is hung up in Louisville and delivery is delayed until Friday. 8pm on a Tuesday evening and the store was still as packed and chaotic as it is on the weekends.
Damn...
So when the order was dispatched the 23rd i was quite happy as it matched the 26th estimated delivery date quite well.
Until I saw that the delivery date was pushed to the 8th of October.
I called Apple and they told me why my order was pushed from the 26th sep to 8th October.
I ordered the new iPhone and Watch in one order. As such the two items much merge somewhere and travel together.
So while the order was dispatched 3 days ago, it will take 14 days to merge them and send them together.
She hinted that I should make them as separate purchases when ordering multiple things, next time to get them on time.
And yes, they are both available for pickup in the stores YEY, and I cannot get a refund before the order arrives and I decline to receive it.
Well well... logistics can be challenging.

I'm getting a Nike for 10/5, but I don't expect to see much until early next week when it'll start to ship from wherever...I don't know if these are already staging in the US or gonna come from China direct next week.
My 44mm SS shipped! I was Oct 5-12.
Details for those who are tracking the progress:
Preorder email arrival time: 12:11:10 AM PDT
Country: U.S.
Shipped via FedEx at about 7pm Kunshan, China time.
Apple said it will arrive next Tuesday, Oct 2, but FedEx says it will be here on Monday, Oct 1.
Good luck to everyone still waiting! Especially if you want the 44mm SS. That one seemed to be popular.

I got 44 SB SS and mine shipped this morning. I think mine is on the same plane as yours. But according to the tracking it arrived after FedEx cutoff time. So it’s possible they may not arrive until the 2nd.
Awesome. Still waiting on mine. I didn't get my order in till 03:33 AM EST.
So it seems like some of the latest shipments are coming from FedEx instead of UPS?
