Awesome! Thanks for the heads up dash57!
Ok, for the list, I've changed the formatting (I'm not going to keep counting days from Apr 10th)
For multi-day jumps from Apr 10th, I'm now just recording the last date for that country.June 8 - just1 - +1:04 (post#7592) - France
June 15 - MikaelThib - Apr 28 order - (post #8117) - Canada
June 16 - PSACL - +2:26:37 - (post #8160) - Germany
June 16 - graphene - +8:15 - (post #8163) - US
June 16 - JumpVorginia - Apr 22 order - (post #8167) - Aus
June 17 - chaisin - May 5 order - (post #8263) - HK
June 17 - nickabenko - Apr 15 order - (post #351@UKSBSS) - UK
France, Germany and the US are falling behind. Need some catch-up in those countries today!!
This happens all too often. How does a courier "forget" a package?! Isn't that what tracking systems are for?
I got the same exact thing!!!
But the funny part, they moved my delivery day up 1 day. It's scheduled to be delivered today, butt for some reason was left in Louisville? Lol
Weird.
Nah, they want you to go get it.
I'm hoping so! I'm texting my friend who works at the hub for minute by minute updates
He's probably like, "leave me alone..." But doesn't understand how important getting this package is!
@fischersd
Speaking of which, we were on the same flights. Did yours depart toward Canada??
Yep, still at Canadian Customs clearance at the Mount Hope (Hamilton) airport. Hmm. We have an import scan at 6:50am. Maybe they finally have those guys working extended hours.
I'm not scheduled to get mine until tomorrow. Anyone in Toronto that is on that batch should be excited though, as the next stop is Concord, Ontario (national UPS distribution hub), which is also Toronto's local distribution hub. Anyone in Toronto in this batch will likely get their watches this afternoon.
The Concord update will likely be any minute now.

The excitement is building as my Watch is out for delivery! Gonna be a late night tonight!
Shipped today by TNT. Expected delivery 06/23... Hope they will not deliver it earlier. I'm not at home till 06/22 (activated an UPS My Choice account to handle something like this and now they have shipped it with TNT -.- )
Yes, but TNT is the subcontractor of UPS, so if there's issues with TNT, you can raise hell with UPS.
In theory, you could have them hold it at your local UPS hub and TNT would have to deliver it there.
(UPS does have local hubs in Germany, right?)
These is happening a lot with these watches / apple shipments because they are the highest priority and they are being pushed around as fast as possible. Most shipments get to "breathe" a little. These are moving from one endpoint to another right away. Because of this expect issues.
The above statement was made out of speculation until I picked my watch up and talked to the person at the counter. He was wearing full UPS truck delivery gear so I figured he would know. He said even for a "medium" sized (one of the 3 in the midwest) hub, when it comes to apple products, they are told that EACH PACKAGE NEEDS TO MAKE DELIVERY DATE. He said he's seen apple packages shipped so fast that some of them end up at the hub 2-3 days before they need to be delivered and the team at the "warehouse" needs to break them down and get them out THAT DAY. He's been held up before waiting for them to unload a apple shipment and get it broken up so he can take the packages on his route.
After talking to him, its crazy the amount of pressure apple shipments put on the shipping companies especially UPS. He said UPS made some kind of a promise to Apple which is why lately apple's been using UPS over fedex. Because of this, UPS has to be on top of their **** 100% of the time.
Its crazy to know that there are people busting their asses to get apple packages out before any other, especially ground. Ground packages can be delayed for whatever reason and you just can't complain, but packages with priority take first and that includes apple packages regardless of shipping method. Its crazy. But this explains why sometimes my ground packages that were suppose to be here next day because I'm a state away, ended up being delayed a day.
I feel for people working at UPS right now, as impatient as I was, especially during memorial day weekend, they deserve a break. They are pushing packages faster than the cartels push drugs.

Yes, we have local UPS hubs.
Adding AppleCare+
Guys, I've been suggesting adding AppleCare+ as soon as your watch is added to your support profile (if you didn't add it when you purchased and still wanted to do so), as it seemed like good timing as, because you haven't received it yet, they can't insist on an inspection of the watch (saving you a trip to an Apple Store).
Well, this bit me in the ass yesterday. I called, got them to add AC+, then I got the certificate e-mail and the AC+ expires on June 15, 2017. So, I'm paying for days of coverage that I haven't received my watch yet. So, I had to call AC+, give them the skinny and now Joe from Agreement Administration is going to adjust my purchase date to tomorrow, so I get my full 2 years of coverage.
Joe did also highlight that there's a downside to being a pre-order. Your warranty kicks off when the item is shipped, not when you receive it. (say what?!). He said "Now, I can't ever see us not helping a customer out if something happens a day or two after their warranty expires..." but I still see this as a problem.
We have people like Chulan that their watch was delayed and they received it a week after it shipped from China - this would mean he gets screwed out of a week of his manufacturer's warranty was well as AC+.
Not cool.
I suggested to Joe that I'll get the executive escalation team to get that sorted (via the tim cook e-mail), he suggested the proper mechanism is the feedback page.
Nah...I want the executive escalation team to do something about this. If I use the feedback page, some pencil pusher may decide. Nah, f him.
Just letting you guys know. Keep an eye on this. Call AC+ and ask them to make it right if there's more than a day or two between when you received the watch and when your AC+ should expire.

Umm...you can't even scroll up?
Up where? I haven't seen any usa orders recently, & your list says +8:15 for the last order. Seems weird that USA orders have kinda fallen behind.
Yep, so that's the latest.
We'll see more US charges when Apple starts processing more of that SKU. Believe it or not, but it appears they don't ship to all countries all of the time.
Yep, just told nickabenko on the UK thread. UPS will try to hit the Apple date, so you could see that move sooner for you. They may even deliver on Saturday, so keep an eye on your tracking.
