Stainless Steel Space Black Shipping Status

This is an anomaly...getting charged for AC and not the phone.

I haven't seen it with any other watches. They usually get charged one right after the other.
 
Well this is interesting... XX:05 order here for 42 mm.... No charge to CC yet..but my Apple Rewards has all of a sudden increased by approx 3300 points... I get 3 points for every $1 spent at Apple...still Processing for June... but nothing has posted to warrant the increase other in reward points. Hoping this is a sign of good news coming my way soon.
 
Don't compare 38s and 42s order times and arrivals

The fact is they're skipping people in line. I know this forum caters to the most rabid fanboys, but even you can't defend the horrid practice of line cutting. Someone who ordered at 9:00AM should not be getting a watch before someone who ordered at 12:03AM.

If you look at the history (and current dates) of the availability of all models you'll see 38s have much shorter delivery estimates. I believe Apple pre-ordered a certain number of case sizes initially and demand for the 42s was much higher than the 38s. So the dates initially given were based on how many watches they had in production for each model IN ADDITION to which size. Basically, the 42s sold out really fast but the equivalent 38s took longer.

That means that when I ordered my 42 SS Space Black on April 10 at 12:03PST I got an estimated date range of 5/13-5/27 and people a few moments later ordering 42s got June estimates. However, the initial allocation of 38s did not sell out as quickly, so people ordering 38s were able to order much later and still get a May date (or June date instead of the July date that the 42 quickly hit).

From what I've seen nobody who ordered a 42 Space Black with a an initial June estimate has seen their watch move yet. So those of us lucky enough to to be in the May shipping estimates haven't had anybody who ordered the same watch (a 42 Space Black) cut in line so to speak. If there are people getting 38s who ordered later than I did, that just has to do with 38s "selling out" slower.

Just thought it might help to bring up the possibility that just as there is a difference in shipping times between the different watch styles and bands, that there is also a difference in watch size shipping times as well. Perhaps, there is no line cutting conspiracy. But plenty of room for any other conspiracy you want to pursue 😉

FYI - As of right now, my 42 space black is still processing and no credit card charges. My order confirmation was 12:03PST and I'm in Texas.

Lets hope! Looks like the excitement is going to keep me awake all night again!
 
I just had the message were it said my payment needed to be updated. I called my bank and got that all sorted out. Does anyone know how long it takes to update on the store?

42mm
Ship date: june
Canada
 
No changes down here. I'm kinda hoping something will change this afternoon/evening with a delivery tomorrow as I'll have the day off to meet the delivery.

Not holding my breath though.

Edit: :02 Confirmation for 42mm

I don't mean to keep posting the same thing, but I ordered at :03 and got the confirmation email at :04. My order is still processing. And I too am in Texas. I am hoping I see a change between sometime today and the end of the week.

It's not really a conspiracy when it's been proven that 38mm orders placed after 12:30 are shipping now while people who ordered at 12:04 are waiting. It's bull, frankly. I know defending Apple's every move must be tiring, but they are clearly in the wrong here.

I know my bank is going to block my app for checking the account every 5 minutes to see if I've been billed. I even went so low as to call the bank to see if there was a lag time between someone requesting payment and when it shows up online. She said no.

XX:03:47 EST New Jersey no billing still processing.
This is crazy though, there's a thread with people with April 10th order dates who haven't received their SS CB and I had a XX:07 EST on the 10th and got mine launch day.
 
My card was charged when I placed the order, so I'm not sure how being charged is an indication that the order will ship soon.
