For those of us that got charged and preparing to ship today... I used the UPS Calculate Time & Cost tool to see what the delivery date would be if it's shipped from either Louisville or Harrisburg (NYC here), looks like it's going to be a Tuesday delivery. :( Unless because it's an Apple shipment there's some special handling and it happens on Monday.
 
Now question is how long did it take the other folks to get a shipping number or use a reference phone number to track? Most of my other friends who got it launch day it shipped from Harrisburg which is not far from Philly where I live


I was charged Friday night for my SS at 10pm eastern. I got tracking the next morning about 11am. Still waiting to for it to do anything in UPS' system. I can see it though.
 
As someone else said before, I couldn't have gotten it in any earlier. 4 minutes and 26 seconds should be more than enough time. Regardless they had TWO WEEKS TO FULFILL ORDERS BASED ON THE QUANTITY ORDERED. No reason why any of us are playing the waiting game.

How did you get your deliveries app to display that info? I thought it did tracking numbers only.


go to add a tracking number as usual and instead of choosing fedex or ups scroll all the way up to "A" and choose apple than enter your email associated with your apple account and enter the order confirmation number. and your done.
 
Mine, too!! 42mm at :04:29.

Here's a question, all. Let's say that the watch ships by tomorrow and is set to deliver on Tuesday. Can I request them to hold for pickup so I can get it Tuesday morning? I ask because I am leaving town for a few days and fly out at noon, which is earlier than their normal delivery times at my house. Thanks for any insight.

This is only anecdotal, but my friend in SF, CA had an Apple Watch set for delivery on Friday. He had a 10:40am flight which is after the ~noon delivery window and was able to hold his package at the nearby UPS and pick it up at 9:30am when they opened. So signs point to yes, if it's already sitting at the facility the night before.
 
Seems whenever people update that they are charged, it comes in a wave, then dies almost immediately.

Given the cross section of people on here, that is probably accurate. For every "charged" on MR, hundreds more orders probably move as well. Kind of an "if an order leaves processing in a forest.." type of thing.
 
I believe I'm one of the early '4-6 weeks' xx:04:37 as the Apple rep. told me
42 MM Space Grey
Florida
No charges nothing yet, Processing.

Problem is, I'm going on a work trip outside the US for more than 2 months on May 5th. :(

I am a 42mm SG 3:04:33 with a 4/24-5/8. I must be one of the last in that group. Still no charges.
 
Boom! And just like that, I'm outtie.

Charged at 12:10PM eastern. Not sure for which watch it is yet though. I have a SG 42 and a blue 38 on order. Have to wait for my orders to update with Apple to be sure.
 
38mm SG ordered at 3:05:00 EDT was just charged to my AmEx card! Making progress!

EDIT: Shipping to Michigan

I'll let you know in a second. I also placed an order for a 38mm Blue sports yesterday. My charge today could've been for that.

EDIT: Nope, just checked the $ amount. It was for my SG ordered April 10 @ XX:04:45

Thanks! If I'm lucky enough for it deliver by Tuesday, I'll give it a shot.
 
I just got charged! Still at processing items though. I paid with Apple Pay and had to switch the payment to my actual card number. That was weird, but at least I have now been charged. I live in louisville so hopefully mine comes pretty soon.

I paid with Apple Pay...how did you know you had to change payment method? Email from Apple?
