Yeah, but 8 of them landed earlier today. Think the last one was UPS77 at 12:3xpm.
It's entirely possible that Apple has a bunch of stuff queued up, but the banks may not allow batch charges to go through on the weekends.
(at least, I know in Canada our banks are that messed up)
Wow! You're the first one that I've heard that they didn't hit the window (they still might if you get it on Tuesday), but we didn't have anyone reporting in that they got pushed back.
Especially with you being an :04. That just doesn't make sense that they didn't get you delivered on time.
Did they run into issues with your card? (we saw that with some, as the pre-auth was more than 30 days from the charge, some CC companies declined the charge).
It's strange - they should have an explanation as to why you didn't go in the order you were supposed to.
One rep said I was one of the last for the original window, but they were prepared to have a small window just in case it fell into the next wave of ships so we could get it by June 3rd.
Dooooooooooomed!!!!!Yeah, but 8 of them landed earlier today. Think the last one was UPS77 at 12:3xpm.

My bday is Friday also, but no movement since 4/10. I could only hope I get that ultimate present!
Well, just goes to show the reps on the phone know nothing. I wonder what access they even have to the order entry system.
You were no-where near the last in the May window. We had people in mid :05 minute still in that window. There were likely thousands behind you. Somehow, they messed up.
Agreed. I just there will be holy HECK to pay if I don't have it by June 3rd. Apple has my money now so I deserve the first one available.
Looks like only two planes still left sitting in Louisville. I hope we start seeing charges Monday nivht / Tuesday morning because the banks should be processing again.
Also Bryan, it sucks you got a new window and it being in June but if what the rep said is true, what is happening with the people who say "June". Our window can't be the whole month. So I assume more then you should be in that first windows. But I guess we will see this week.

I have a feeling by July the apple stores should have decent stock of the SB SS but I'm not positive on it

You can be sure our window is the entire month, if or until they even decide to give us a more specific ETA before they charge us. If they meant it to be anything other than the whole month they would have said 6-8 weeks or something less broad than an entire month.
I have a friend with the silver SS watch who 10 days ago went from "June" to "22 Jun, 2015 - 29 Jun, 2015". I don't know what inferences to draw from that, but it sort of worries me that I could slip to July. Though he waited until he woke up to order so he isn't a midnighter.
I think my situation is a special case. The rep said they don't charge until they have a device for that order. I may just been a delay in processing payment since I use a Credit Union. It would be nice if they took debit payments though.
Very unlikely they will have any in stores before July. Maybe some combinations of sport bands and bodies but not the links and for sure not the black.
They are only 5-6 minutes into the orders, long way to go before making them available in stores.
And yes I know there are exceptions but 5-6 minutes is the general time frame in the US that's the bulk of sales.
I used my credit union debit card for my 2 purchased too. I received my SSG with no problems and I don't expect to have a problem with the eventual charge for this watch.
However, I did call and let them know about my 2 purchases coming from Apple and they said it would be no problem unless the charge was over $3,000.
It depends on the credit union. I used to be part of a credit union for the SMW union, and they like to have a human press a button on lots of charges. Direct Deposits, even routine ones required a human to throw a switch. I refused to consider credit unions for a decade after abandoning that one. But I will be switching to a credit union in a month when I move because I found an awesome one that seems to have all the technical advantages of a big bank, including Apple Pay.
That's my problem, no Apple pay support. I have 2 credit unions and Chase. I might switch my primary to Chase for the big bank benefits.

I have lost interest. I am going to see if I can find someone who "must have it now," like I did with the SGS.
I was so excited when I first heard the announcement. I fell in love with the SSSB. that feeling slowly dissipated as time went on after I ordered.
Maybe if I get rid of it, I'll get another 1911 or even a Pam!
So I've had my watch for a few days now and it's not for me. Where would be a good place to sell it. Any recommendations
