I wonder what could be the delay?

They just busy, problem with shipping company, misplaced pallets, some funny business??
 
Finally saw the charge alert for my Apple Watch go through Thursday night at around 11:30PM.

At some point Friday morning, it moved to Preparing for Shipment.

Shipment notification email from Apple at 11AM with a tracking number. Watch is in Suzhou, China. A little later, Watch moves to Shanghai, China (where it is now).

Delivery is scheduled for Monday. I can hardly believe it, it has been so long. I'm not as excited as I was, but I'm still looking forward to it.

My order was placed x:08. Or, at least that's the timestamp on the confirmation email. Gives us all a certain amount of hope!

It's the Chinese holding it (likely inspecting). Maybe it's time for their kickbacks, who knows?

Maybe they had a report that someone was trying to smuggle something out of the country?

It'll get sorted, the plane will leave. Hopefully before the weekend's out.

I hope they are just busy. But I assume the early orders were on the same palette / cargo and the later orders were on a separate palette / cargo. Which means ours should cleared first and shipped to the US but instead looks like all later orders made it to the US and we early orders are stuff. Im a xx:06:50 btw.

I hope there's UPS movement on sundays in china cause I know there is in the US and tomorrow for us will be saturday but sunday for china so hopefully it moves this weekend into the US and monday into everyones local hub

doesn't make sense cause we were the earlier order. Why not ship our cargo and ship the later cargo? Ass backwards way of clearing exports / customs lol.

My email was also xx:08, but per chat with Apple was actually a whole 8 seconds earlier.;)

⌚️ now on its way from PANC to KONT (or might be KSDF). I should know in a couple or three hours. There's plenty of time for yours to make it by Monday though, so congrats!
 
Checked with Apple this morning, they say both AppleCare and Watch charges were accepted. I still don't show the AppleCare charge, and Watch charge is still pending. Order is PFS, but still says JUNE. No emails from anyone, so I guess that's good!

Evidently, all sorted itself out, although I still have no charge for AppleCare+, and the charge for the watch is $1,181.43...which doesn't match invoice. It's shipped, currently in Shanghai, China, and was made in week 21, and I am scheduled to get on Monday, 6/1.

How can you tell which week your watch was made in?
 
Ordered 12:07am Pacific. 42mm Space Black with Space Black Link Bracelet. Just shipped early this morning. I'm in LA. According to UPS just left Anchorage. UPS tracking states delivery on Monday.

I don't watch (some pun intended) the Apple watch forum much, but this must be one of the most backordered watch models? This thread is huge!!
