Space Gray Orders Post here!

42 mm AWS SG BSB ordered 4/29 Germany, first delivery 6/26-7/08, then 6/22-28, now 6/12-18

Sick and tired of Apples way of limiting infomation that the loyal customer wants - it is obvious that they now have the production processes up and running faster and more smooth, and that delivery will come much sooner for many of us.
But we need this more detailed information. I am in Sweden but have ordered mine in Germany to a friend to pick up, and planning my and my German friends trip to make this work - but since Apple hold in the relevant information that they for sure has - this might **** up.

I am sure that many other people that have ordered have similar problems.

Apple: Give me a more accurate delivery date - you know it !

My 42mm SG BSB has been charged, and preparing for shipment !!!! Ordered 04/27 @ 12:31 PM for the records!
 
Pat994, your location? I'm hoping to see a charge soon, ordered 4/26 @ 9:56pm. Mid-Atlantic here.

On another note, I hope pooleman posts "I got my watch" a thousand times in a post, ha
 
42mm SG. Ordered 4/12. Will be delivered 6/2.

Although I can't see all the tracking details yet, it says my watch is coming from Mount Juliet, TN. I actually live in Louisville, KY (UPS's Worldhub). Wish I could intercept my watch today at the airport!
 
Watch shipped on 5/30 and is still in Alaska. Original delivery date was 6/3 after it was shipped but I was thinking I might get it earlier. Not so much now. Still has to fly from Alaska to Lousiville and back to Seattle then be sorted and put on a truck for delivery. Lots to happen even to get it here by 6/3.

Ordered at 342pm pacific time on 4/11 from Seattle. Frustrating that people who ordered after me are getting their watches potentially as early as today. Oh well. I guess I'm only a couple of days away now. It is just frustrating to watch it sit in China for 30 hours and now in Alaska for 17 hours and counting.

When UPS showed the status of my watch in Louisville, the delivery showed next day in Detroit. I think UPS consumes a day for checking it in and getting it onto a truck in the morning. I doubt that even if a plane landed at 4:20am and a truck was going out at 8:20am, watches destined for the Louisville metro area would make it onto that truck. I've known Fedex to hold a package for days just so they wouldn't beat their "promise" date. UPS isn't like that. They have an incentive to get stuff out of their warehouse as soon as possible so I wouldn't rule out getting your watch today, I just wouldn't expect it. Imagine how upset a customer might be if they arranged for grandma to wait at the house for their watch tomorrow but they got a "while you were out" door hang tag today?

It's rather odd how Apple is doing their shipping now. Some watches seem to have China shipping origins (yes, I know they're all made there) while others, like mine, look as if they're coming from a stocked warehouse in the US (Tennessee, in my case). I thought for sure you'd have your watch before me because I saw your post the other day after you got charged. My dilemma now is where to have my watch delivered tomorrow. I'm flying out of here tomorrow afternoon and would love to have my watch before I go but I'm hesitant to have it shipped to a UPS Store. I have read where some people have had their watches held at a UPS "Customer Center" but I can't seem to find one of those here in Louisville. Funny, since just about every UPS plane comes through here. Anybody have any suggestions or experience with alternate shipping locations for their watches?

I originally changed mine to be held at a UPS location but changed my mind after realizing I've never had a problem with deliveries coming to my apartment complex and being signed for by the manager. I read that UPS locations can take awhile to locate packages and the staff are less than friendly (may be specific locations?). Otherwise, if you have UPS my choice (it is free if you don't) it should give you options to locate a UPS location nearby if you want to go that route. I've heard that this can delivery availability of your package by a day so that would be something to consider as well.
 
I've got My Choice but the only alternate UPS locations it's giving me are the UPS Stores. I seem to remember reading posts where people had their watches held at UPS Customer Centers and picked them up as soon as they opened in the morning. Like you said, I've seen the horror stories of the "extra day" tacked on when some have requested the delivery go to the UPS Store. I don't know whether to roll the dice and hope it comes before I leave or send it elsewhere. The My Choice email I got this morning said the delivery window was "2:00 - 6:00 PM" tomorrow. Normally, UPS comes down my street around 4-5 each day (my neighbor works from home and gets a delivery nearly every day). Unless these watches are on a special truck, I'm screwed. Too bad they didn't use USPS; I work for them and could intercept my package at the processing facility.

My 28th order just changed also. Hopefully charged soon. I've seen some orders that are closer to my orde date being charged today. Would be super excited if I was charged today. :)

Ordered my SG 42mm on 4/11 at 20:20 MST. Tracking says delivery by end of day June 3 to Colorado.

This was my first Apple pre-order... and my last.
 
Ordered the SG 42mm at 4/10 1:42pm MST. The Apple Store still says I'll get if from 6/4 to 6/8. But, GOOD NEWS, the UPS says 'Out for Delivery'!!
