I hope it's packed with Apple Watches! :D

If they aren't scanned till tomorrow that's fine too but I hope I get the confirmation from UPS that a label has been created by tonight. I just really want to get it on Friday.

I am right there with you. What your order time? I'm 12:04:18.

watch this.. it's a three parter..provides clarity as to what happens in KY.. its a 24 hour operation.. nothing will sit there.. if things sit, they sit at the destination center.. not UPS WorldPort.
 
Just landed. I hope I get my tracking number via MyChoice at midnight.

EDIT: There is also another plane but from Hong Kong that is going to Ontario tonight as well. Landing in 30 mins.

Have they been changing from Processing to Preparing for Shipment overnight? For some reason I thought that was only happening in the afternoon (west coast of US) last few days.

I too received the "email of death" but am trying to be optimistic for a Friday delivery.
 
The dreaded email does note possible delivery on Friday. I believe there may be one more wave tomorrow but will only be for some more orders before :05 if at the same rate they have been changing status since Monday. Will feel extra bad if anyone preparing to ship now doesn't receive Friday.

I'm a :04 so I would be perfectly happy with that one more wave coming through tonight or tomorrow morning!

I have only seen it happen during the day, but as we get closer to launch anything can happen.

Luckily I have not receive the EOD but remain cautiously optimistic of my 4/24 delivery date.
 
42MM SG Sport. Confirmation email at: 2:03 CDT, can't find at the second it was sent. Order is still in the "processing item" stage, but have a pending charge for the watch on my account. Anyone else have the pending charge but still in the "processing item" stage?

I am 3:03 EST, got charged at 7 but had wrong CC info in there. Around 11PM I now have a pending charge of ~425 to my correct credit card, but still showing 'processing'
Ready for the tracking email to arrive.......

What model did you order?
 
I haven't even received the "We're working on your order" email yet... Did they just skip my order or something?!?
 
Obviously I hope I'm wrong on this, but swing how most of the orders switched to Preparing for shipment in the late afternoon/early evening hours (EST) there won't be enough time for new ones added tomorrow to be delivered on Friday.

Depends on a lot of variables. When I order stuff from B&H Photo in NYC, I get overnight delivery for standard shipping. And it has to make two stops before it gets to my delivery hub. I live about 100 miles away, and the items never get to the first stop (Maspeth) before 10pm.
