I just realized something funny:

My apple watch that I ordered on 4/14 will officially be arriving well before the Nomad stand I ordered on 5/19. How do you mess up that badly? :p
 
:) I actually got my Nomade stand yesterday and I ordered it on May 28.
Really? Did you order through NOMAD or Best Buy? If it came through NOMAD, you will be the first one I have seen that was delivered. People that ordered in March and April are still waiting!
 
Preparing for Shipment Available to ship: 5-6 weeks been 5-6 weeks for a long time, delivery is due for july 8-15, how much time does it take to Prep for shipment ? Card was debited today june 23rd.

:apple: Watch is shipped , delivery is next week. :) its about Time and its all about Time. :)
 
My order is 5/2 in the U.S. And I just got charged!

Holy crap, so did I! (also US 02 May order)

It's really happening guys!
 
And now I've hit PFS. Fingers crossed, it should be on a plane tonight, and hopefully in my hands Friday or Saturday.

All you other crazy-refresh people, what (besides FlightAware) are you using to track your shipments? I've been needing a good package tracker for my devices for a while...

Once you go to shipped, sometime tonight, you get a UPS tracking number. I think all the flights left China for today. Yours should go out tomorrow. UPS and FlightAware to watch and wait for your watch. ⌚️

I use the Deliveries app by Junecloud. (https://appsto.re/us/DGbwr.i)

Works really well, you can even have it login to your Apple account and track order status, and it has an apple watch glance :)
 
How do you find out what plain it goes on once it's in the US?

You should be able to figure it out based on checking flights leaving Shanghai on apps such as Flightaware and comparing against the departure time in the UPS tracker.

OK, I guess it's the same inside the US? Does UPS always have their own planes named UPS and a number?

Depends where your final destination for the watch lies in the US. In the case of the US though, I don't believe they subcontract any of their flights.
Once it arrives in Louisville, KY or Ontario, CA (that's California), it either jumps on another plane or to a truck - out to a local hub, then onto a truck for delivery. Best you can do is try to track the flights using the time stamps in your tracking against the airport codes in flight aware.

Once it's moving by truck though, flight aware's no good to you...you just have to watch for updates in your tracking to see how close it's getting to its destination.
 
My watch just arrived in Anchorage, AK, any chance it might come tomorrow? (It's scheduled for 6/26) It's only about 3,000 miles away at this point :D
 
Mine also landed in Anchorage. Now I need to find out where it's going next. It's destiny is Brewster, MA so maybe Louiseville?

In that case there is one taking of 15:38

Yep, it'll be Louisville. Which flight were you on to Anchorage?

The tough part's going to be figuring out what the next hop is going to be. Did a quick google - that'd be about a 16hour drive from Louisville, or a little over a 4hr flight. I'm thinking you're looking at one more plane, then a truck. Your departure scan time from Louisville should be able to tell you which UPS plane it's on when you look at all departures from that airport.
