Stainless Steel Space Black Shipping Status

Is that it then? How long do the charges keep coming through?

To be completely honest with you, I've been following this blog for a while now, and it is completely random when and how long charges come through. It seems nearly impossible to predict. For instance yesterday they charged at 4:30 today at 1:05 (PST). Anyone who thinks they have a grasp on when they will charge is crazy. If you follow along the times they charge, amount of time that passes in the charge group, even the amount of time in PFS seems entirely random. I will say the only thing that seems consistent is around 9-11pm (PST) PFS seems to switch to shipped, that is if it is going to switch to shipped that day. I know people will argue with me, but this has been my observation through the process.
 
Just went charged and PFS some time today while at work. I put my order in on the 4/10 in the afternoon, maybe about 2/3 PM in Chicago. I've had the 7/7 to 7/14 shipping window for a while now. So glad to see it switched!

So...after having the apple watch a little more than a week, I have to send it back already for a replacement...

Sigh. Hopefully it'll turnaround soon.

They don't update the shipping time on the order status page, which is frustrating. Your existing order should definitely ship sooner than the 2-3 weeks an order placed today would take.

Yeah, mine still says 5-6 weeks while preparing for shipping right now.
 
Mine got delivered yesterday but my delivery window still is still showing 7/7 - 14/7 ......... So maybe ignore the delivery window

Tracking finally update to show its in Shanghai now. Does any know if the date listed next to the tracking events are Chinese local times or local time for the shipping destination? It says 6/22/15 - Arrival Scan - Shanghai - 1:55p. Since China is a day ahead could that mean the tracking is updating late or is tracking bases on shipping destination local time.

Well, I really thought we'd see a lot more movement today, especially since we made it to nearly 4/12. Oh well. Anyone know if charges only happen on monday? Or can they happen during the week as well?

Last week Monday was the U.S. and EU Australia came later in the week.

Since the U.S. is behind I think all shipments this week will go to the U.S. We should see big movement this week. Hoping they get all the way to the 25th.
 
Just got charged and is preparing for shipment.

Order date April 18 email confirmation at 6:30 PM HST.

US (Hawaii).

Oh yeah, 42 mm SBSS

So the US jumped from April 10 to April 18th with Monday's batch??? Wow, that means I could be in the next batch since I'm April 22nd! Fingers crossed!

Monday's batch was pretty small as Monday's batch was sent on Monday. You will def be in the next one probably in a few days
 
Exciting. Do we know if there will be another batch this week or will we have to wait until Monday?
 
Got the UPS mail notification a few hours ago,
Scheduled For Early Delivery On:
Thursday, 06/25/2015, By End of Day
Originally Scheduled For Delivery On:
Friday, 06/26/2015, By End of Day
 
@MacLilja, you could be in the batch that's still being processed. Until they flip to "Shipped" that batch isn't closed yet.
Whenever @HeathH or @gold/// flip to shipped, that will indicate the end of that batch.

@Thegrizzlyeagle - tracking times are local to that checkpoint (that's why it seems to go back in time when it jumps from China to Anchorage). That first line in yours must have been a type-o by the person that entered it - must have been on the 21st. All of China is one time zone (CST), so there's no time shifting in China.

For those still waiting - there hasn't been any pattern to the shipments, other than Apple tends to not charge on weekends. UPS, of course, still works on weekends - they work 24/7. There may be some delays due to the July 4th weekend (Customs is closed, but they'll often move to the next leg in Ontario or Louisville and do the customs clearance there the next day).

So, with those charges just after midnight, the US is no longer behind the rest of the world.
