Hey guys ordered at 8.03 UK FYI. I'm with Santander and ordered the 42mm, the problem is I'm 16 and I've still got a debit card, I was wondering if any of you could help me out by telling me how I would know if the payment failed, and also who I should call if it did, or who to call to tell them to allow it to go through. Thanks. Let us hope that we get our watched by the end of the week. :D
 
My order confirmation arrived at 8.05 and I've had no change yet.....

42mm SB SS Link
UK
12 May -26 May

Interestingly the extra sport band I ordered separately afterwards also shows 8.05 on the confirmation email...... but this was definitely done after the watch (so likely watch order was actually earlier and there was a delay on the email receipt).

Thus far the latest is an :04, but I like your odds of getting a status change today. :)
 
can you see that the charge has gone through on the apple orders page?

It told me it was successful when I reauthorized it, and then got an email confirmation that my update to the order was successful. Also have the full pending charge on my bank account. Still sitting at processing for the moment though. Probably will update soon...

If you have a debit card, you should call the bank that issued it - see if they've seen anything yet and let them know that the charge is coming - so they have no excuse to deny it.
 
I paid with Apple pay so I'm hoping to see a notification pop up soon. Still no movement! Can't go back to sleep until I do.

42mm USA 03 confirmation email
 
I was confirmed at XX:03 still processing and no charge, spoke to Apple about these people claiming they have been charged who got confirmed after XX:03 they claim rubbish these people are having a laugh, all the screenshots anyone heard of a photo editing app?
 
An idea which I will do when I get to work: Call the cc company and let them know to expect a charge from Apple soon, especially if it is being sent to a different address than on the card. Mine will be sent to my office. Once they verify you are who you are, they will note the account. This will help cut out the declined posts I am seeing.

Mine was ordered at 3:02 am EDT, confirmed at 3:03.

Honestly I was losing all hope I'd see my SB before the 27th, if then.

unfortunately not... i called first direct (hsbc) although they can put a note on the account it's the fraud teams that decline and they don't necessarily check the notes.... think that's pretty standard. Would suggest keeping on it

Just did that, set up a txt notification when the card is charged too :)
 
I know I'm late but I thought I'd chime in. I ordered a 42mm Space Black SS Watch at 12:01, confirmation at 12:02. Ship dates May 13-May 27. No movement at all yet.

Really hoping we have our watches by the end of the week...

UPDATE: I was charged this morning at 4am CST. My watch is now Preparing for Shipment. Best of luck to you all today!

Mine is :03.53 I think from checking my email and still no movement so I am not holding out hope although keep checking :( bit paranoid me and just excited for my watch eventually :)

Did they confirm if anyone later than :03 is being charged yet though?

Wow, even when the watches start shipping, some of you just can't stop with your doom and gloom and conspiracy theories, eh?

Yes, more than a dozen people from around the world all decided at once to post fake status changes. Just for your benefit.
 
Guys, it's not going to be entirely in order. It's random how the batches get processed. (you want them to take longer, to sort all the boxes into order before they're scanned?) Yep, let's waste a day on that. :)

They've started getting boxed up. If the others are any indication, everyone in the first wave should get shipped over the next couple of days.

Heh...we're going to add the pages quickly if everyone keeps asking if there's any changes. It's human nature. Everyone's "antsy" as the day has arrived - they want their confirmation NOW! :)
