If we aren't yet preparing for shipment, is Friday delivery 100% out of the question?

If we are not preparing by shipping by 9PM tonight then we are not getting it tomorrow. I've had packages ship as late as 9PM with next day air saver and get it the next day.

So because there are quite a few planes coming in today (5 hours from now or so) that will be the last chance.
 
Indeed, they do. I am predicting we'll get up to xx:04:30 or so. Complete speculation based on the previous couple days...but, if they ramped up production on the SG after seeing initial orders, maybe these planes are more SG heavy than the previous?!?!

We can hope.

With my luck that's probably accurate....I'm XX:04:46

I hope so! I know for sure I won't have mine tomorrow, I've accepted it..I'm hoping at least by next week Wednesday because I go back to work Thursday after a month break!
 
All these planes are landing around 5pm EST so how fast does Apple work overnight to shipped when I'm currently in processing for 42 SG :04
 
Processing update?

Question for everyone, does apple update the processing status and charge your payment when the planes arrive into the US with your item or when it leaves the factory in China?

If there is enough on those planes to get to you in the queue, you could still get your watch tomorrow. If not, Saturday. If there isn't enough in those planes, I imagine you'd be looking at early next week.

This is assuming they keep coming across the Pacific at the same rate they have been.

DISCLAIMER: I'm just making educated guesses based on the trending we've seen so far.

The last couple days it has been when they arrive in the US. We've seen a flurry of billing/order status change activity in the 4-7pm range the last couple days. Looks like today could potentially be the same.

It appears that they are processed once they hit Anchorage.

Im hopeful, I've seen previous scenarios for toronto deliveries.

Plane goes to Alaska then to Louisville, then a flight to Hamilton for GTA deliveries.

I checked FlightAware and UPS476 seems to go from Louisville to Hamilton early morning, so there could be a chance watches land this afternoon in Louisville and make it to Toronto tomorrow morning and get routed out for afternoon delivery!
