Got ya, but, overnight the planes are already in the US. When I was charged yesterday the planes were in the US. UPS flight arrival in the US are roughly the same daily. By this I mean continental US. Most of which arriving before 0200 EDT.
Apple charged me on 29 APR at 0341EDT; so a few hours after the planes landed in continental US
Just checked UPS and here's the shipping info...
Please note that myWatch Sport 42mm Space Grey with Black Sports Band was ordered on April 10th and confirmation was received at 12:06 AM Pacific.
Original delivery was May 13-27...
This gives me hope. Us :08ers appreciate it.
Omg omg omg.
I can't take this anymore.
Can we go to the doctor and bill it to Apple.
The pain is agonising.

RIGHT? 1 person from work got theirs today and our devs got their blue Sport 42MM that they ordered. It was nice to get held over a bit, but I am so freaking excited!!
Just charged!
My Amex card was finally charged 10 minutes ago!! Nothing has changed in my order status in the Apple Store, but hopefully this means that something is moving!!
(38mm SG BSB, ordered at XX:17 in Paris, France, May 12-26 delivery slot given).

Congrats, though I'll be honest, it stings to see a xx:09 get charged already and they still have 05s waiting. Hard to believe there are no other 05-08 on the east coast.
To be honest, I think that they're going by a system that we may not be privy to. For the past 2 weeks I've been following these threads, it seems to fluctuate (an xx:04 here, an xx:06 there etc.). If they were going by order times, then those who ordered minutes before me, should have had their watches or at least be charged already.
Did anybody upgrade their shipping speed? I just did the standard free shipping but they all seem to be overnight shipping. I didn't look to see if there was an option for a more expensive shipping, but maybe apple is slightly prioritizing people who paid a little extra for shipping. Would make some sense.
The person that posted under me ordered at xx:17 and mentioned their card was charged.

There wasn't a way to pay for expedited shipping. I have not paid for any expedited ship at all.
I agree, it's definitely not linear (especially on a global level), but figured orders more local would be. I just can't imagine there's no one left in NY that ordered before xx:09 and it's hard to believe that Apple is just randomly choosing orders to fulfil. There's got to be a method to the madness lol.
I expected the NY, Chicago, San Fran areas to stay in the low minute orders for a while compared to other places around the globe just based off the number of people that live there and the probability of the percentage of the population that would order the watch.
I believe you might be right. Also, Apple doesn't even know when people receive their order confirmation email — they have to be using a different number internally (and we can only speculate what that might be).
