Whats the probability of more cards being charged tonight (in US)?

During some previous Apple launches, it all happened at once in the wee hours of launch day and products still made it in time for launch day delivery. It all depends on where things are shipping from. Everything we know about the supply chain and distribution is complete speculation on here. Anything can happen.

Exactly this.
 
So, what are you guys' realistic anticipated delivery dates? I'm thinking Tuesday.

Lots of time over the weekend for UPS to move product, and I've got a 12:04:24 or something and I feel good about that being next.
 
What does APPLE LO15 NPl mean or is short for?

If I had to guess, something boring... LO15 could be a lot number, NPI could be New Product Introduction or something like that.

Basically, Apple has a setup with the carriers which is rather unique, very few companies have access to the custom product launch services that UPS and Fedex offer unless you are moving millions of units basically overnight. I believe some product have their smart labels from the factory, but a vast majority don't receive them until they hit UPS and Fedex state-side.

I wouldn't be surprise if Apple give's UPS a lot... maybe an entire planeful, of a single model, and gives UPS a list of customers to send them to... they may even divide it up by destination, shipping large quantities in a larger container leaving it up to the destination terminal to label them as they hit the delivery trucks. UPS and Fedex, like I said, have some very customized services for these events that they don't advertise. Remember, they love Logistics
 
Order processed 12:07 am (according to email) on April 10 for a 42mm SG.

No change in status yet. :mad:

isn't 12:07 the mid may delivery window? i'm 12:04:34 and i haven't even been charged yet. if they stick to the first come first serve, you're deep bro.

in the last four days of activity, they've only moved 3 minutes worth of orders. and this is probably with a built up supply for initial wave. now that they've run out of the build up, it'll probably be even slower. you do the math.
 
Got it this morning in Hong Kong.

Same here. I hope Tuesday at the latest. Was on pins and needles hoping for tomorrow delivery but that ship has sailed. Or I guess it hasn't sailed.
 
This seems to be the only thread where people are keeping their head on straight. Everything has turned to whining and complaining.
 
04 CST 42mm... No CC n still processing.. All hope is lost for tomorrow.. ��.... :(
 
In previous launches iDevices have been available on-line, in all the Apple Stores and at other retail shops. To have a 3 minute supply of a product in only one channel is pretty hilarious for Apple.
 

Love your optimism! Just makes no sense as I talked to three reps.. One says its shipped and I should get my shipping info shortly.. Another says it hasn't shipped at all.... Makes no sense to me...
