I feel your pain. My Blue Sport Band (just arrived 2 days ago) also charged and sat PFS for 2 days like these and then the next day it arrived. I was so excited thinking that I was going to have it tomorrow. Guess not.
So then I decided to drive to the 2 nearest Apple stores. I was able to purchase the WSB there, but the only other thing they had besides sport bands were the Black Classic Buckle. I sure hope I don't end up getting my Leather Loop in store before it ships from my online order too...
Same there here for both my Black LL and WSB. Ugh. 2 days of PFS and I was excited that tomorrow would be the day. (Blue SB that arrived 2 days ago spent 2 days PFS then arrived the next day)
I ended up checking the 2 closest Apple stores and all they had were sport bands and the Classic Buckle. Picked up the WSB at least. Guess I'll keep checking in there and probably end up getting the LL before my online order comes too.

My WSB was charged a couple days ago as well, and it was preparing for shipment for about two days.
It jumped back to processing today.
Thankfully, I got that same WSB I ordered today at the Apple Store in Galleria Ft. Lauderdale
So while it does suck that the order status reverted, at the same time I'm not even mad because it saved me a return trip to the store that was eventually going to happen.

Did they have any other colors there?
There was only white for the 38mm watch, and only blue, and black for the 42mm watch.
I'm gonna check Aventura tomorrow after I get out of work.
I feel lucky then. My 42mm WSB is being delivered tomorrow. I'd be tempted if they had the green though.
I assume Aventura would have more supply.
They SHOULD considering it's such a high traffic store. I might be tempted if they have green.
Apple agent told me it's part of the process. Charge shows pending on credit card. It is pre authorizing and will drop off. Once it ships it will go to shipped and will receive email with tracking. I haven't received my SGBSB 42mm watch yet that I ordered 25 minutes in. Yesterday received preparing for shipment on stone leather loop and white sport band. Today back in process. My watch never changed until tonight'x. It is now in prepare to ship and charge for watch is pending. This is the part she says is normal. The watch will probably go back to processing then once ships will get the actual charge and email with tracking... Seems wrong to do to people waiting so long and now with even bands in stores but oh well I was the dumb ass that waited this long..
It's not normal to change to Preparing and then go back to Processing. Something went wrong on their end this time.
I don't think so. My Watch went from Processing to Preparing for Shipment and that was it until it changed to Shipped. I ordered mine early though, 12:02:12 AM PDT.
Is this happening on all Sport bands? If so I might just wait until my local store gets a shipment in of the band I wanted and get it then. Supposedly they got some in this morning but they sold out by the time I got there.
Happened to me too with the green sport band. Kind of hoping one of the Pittsburgh stores will get them in stock so I can just cancel the order.
A lot of us had an extra band go back to processing. And most of us are joking that perhaps they sent our band to the stores instead. This could be a possibility.
It is not a coincidence that now that bands have been allocated and shipped to the store, that most of our bands on order are going back to processing. My guess is it was a goof by
. They thought they would have "X" number of bands to ship to online customers. Once they set aside "X" number for the stores. They realized there was no way they could fulfill both. So we go back to processing for a few more days. Till they get more in production. Sucks, but seems what happened.

Heck at this rate I wish I could change an option so that my sport band and 42mm SS ML would ship at the same time. That way I won't be sitting around with my white sport band waiting for the actual watch to arrive.
After 3 days of PFS, received email that 38mm green will be deliver next Thursday. geez. Ordered a 38mm BCB and it arrived within 3 days.
God Bless Us, Everyone!
