3:03 confirmation 4/10 for SG
CC charged last night at 11PM
Just checked at 3:30PM EST and changed to 'preparing to ship'
Whoop whoop
 
My theory is that in order to prevent early delivery of the stupid watch, Apple held them back until the latest possible moment in order to ensure accurate delivery.

But that wouldnt explain my GF getting a preparing for shipping note DAYS ago while Im stuck with the SGS on processing...

Unless the different variations of the watch are in different locations...?

Is that a possibility?
 
Hey guys, thought I'd spread some hope in this thread also! There's still hope! My CC was just charged!

42mm SG
Confirmation email: xx:04:43
Estimated delivery: 4-6 weeks, May 13-27
Status: Processing
Received EOD: No
CC charged: 1:56pm est
Destination: Toronto, Canada

EDIT: Status just changed from processing to preparing for shipment!

Wat.

I ordered a 42mm SGS at xx:04:35 with a 4/24-5/8 window. No Charge, no preparing, also Toronto. I guess I'm just not as lucky as you haha!!
 
lol for the past week I'm like extra anxious at this time. I can't be bothered at work at all. I hate to admit it but I think I had a dream about the apple watch last night. I hate being such an apple fanboy sometimes.
 
5 planes will be landing in the next 90 minutes. After that it doesn't look good for more Friday deliveries.
 
:03 over here still no movement. But how are :04's starting to see their CC's charged??

I have no problem with people who ordered other watch configurations have their shipment dates moved up due to additional supply...but how someone who ordered after me is getting their order processed before me is just ridiculous....

Thats it for the rest of the day? Im less concerned about Friday, more concerned about early next week instead of Mid May.

I believe so. Then the planes are unloaded and shipments are divided up and sent to local hubs. So that will be all of the planes from China for today. And will start up again tomorrow, which would be for Monday deliveries.

Apple has told me that standard shipping customers will not see Saturday deliveries. Next opportunity is Monday if not tomorrow.

Just checked the filed flight plans, and there are LOTS of cargo charters flying the Shanghai-Anchorage route pretty much all weekend.

I absolutely had a dream about it going from 'processing' to 'preparing for shipment'. Woke up believing it to be true too. Unfortunately I'm still sitting here with no charge and no updates yet... 42mm SG @ 12:04:14
 
It says standard shipping but no one here is getting standard shipping. Everyone is getting a package within the next 24 to 48 hours. Standard shipping is 5-7 days.

You're talking about a minute (or less) on a system that was being pounded by millions of requests from different vectors. That's a rounding error.
