It is sooo frustrating! In all honesty I do not mind waiting and I'm trying to be understanding of the situation, logistics etc., is just the lack of clarity and randomness of it all. I don't enjoy the feeling of being in the "Dark" sort of speak and I know plenty of arguments can be brought upon my opinion but it is just that my opinion and 2 cents.#

Stuck in "Processing"

I'm one state below you, pretty much same exact story #05club
 
This happened yesterday as well. Basically nothing happened until 5am this morning.

The daily cycle seems to be about six UPS planes (which may or may not be carrying watches) flying from China to Anchorage and then from Anchorage to Louisville, arriving around 12:00-1:00 AM EDT. Much of the tracking activity seems to take place in the hours following.
 
Do most people who had their watches debited to their accounts have a change in order status soon after (what is the timeframe)?

My account was charged early morning (4/29) and still nothing...

Still 24 hours after and counting. Still processing.
 
what seems to be the correlation between the charge to your bank accounts and delivery of phone?
 
XX:06 email confirmation
5/13-5/27 estimated time.
Chicago Area

42mm SG sport w/ Black Band
Preparing for Shipment
Credit card charged last night.

Anyone know how long it should be from this point to when it ships?

Ouch, that hurts. I'm at 00:05 and got nothing, and in Chicago too.
 
It'll be an eternity for me- I ordered on the 24th. I was out of the country when pre-orders went live and my wife said nope to getting up at 3am to preorder for me. I'm hoping that they've ramped up demand for Space Gray Sport and I'll see a status change by the first part of May. Now my wife wishes she had preordered and gotten herself one too. Lesson learned.

Prior posts seemed to indicate that a charge to your banking account triggered a change in order status from processing purgatory to preparing for shipment....


I guess a charge is not dispositive of an immediate status change...:mad::apple:

my question is once money is deducted from your bank account, then how long until you are in possession of your product...approx

I've seen people say that if the money gets charged early enough in the morning then it will go to prepare for shipping, and by late afternoon you should get a shipping notification, and then a shipping number from UPS by late at night. Under that scenario you would more than likely get it the next day. If you are charged later in the day then I'd add a day for shipping.

I was charged at 3:47am today. Hoping to have it tomorrow!! :)

Any movement this afternoon on charges? Seems all the post lately were charges from late last night and early morning. USA
 
* Charged at some point over the past few hours.
* Order Confirmation Email: 4/10, XX:05:37
* 42MM
* Chicago Suburbs
* Up until now, no activity (unless you count obsessively watching these boards, credit card & order status)
* Order status: Preparing for Shipment, Delivers May 13-27. (Sure hope that's wrong.)
* No EOD

Good luck everybody!


Update:
Just received shipping confirmation email from Apple for a delivery tomorrow. Woohoo!

I would really really like to know how in the ******* Apple is prioritizing orders, did you order more than one watch or accessories??

I only say this as my order is 20 sec before yours, at xx:06:07, 38mm SG w/Black Sport Band, shipping to the same place (Tampa).

So far no charge, no eod, no movement what-so-ever...

Nothing but the watch; $349 + tax.

Same here. I really just wanted to be able to try one on before I purchased, so I wasn't able to order till the 27th :)eek:) so watching this thread is torture. Especially since it looks like we've only made it through about the first 4 minutes of orders as of now.

Awesome.
