The FedEx theory

I registered just to say that none of the Australia orders received to date seem to be SG 38mm orders. I'm in Toronto and ordered at :02 and it's still processing while my 42mm has shipped.

Just an observation. Still hopeful, but it's quite suspect.

I'm here to squash your theory. UPS has the contract for the watches. How do I know? I have been working there for the past 9 years. FedEx screwed up years ago and we won the Apple contract. Sure you might see some accessories ship thru FedEx but 99.99% of the watches are UPS. I'm talking about launch day products. Good luck with your algorithm

Didn't most of the iPhone 6 orders ship through Fedex though? That was what, 6 months ago?

b.s.
 
My macbook retina came Fedex. I see no way anything is being shipped by fedex though, would have seen something by now. My charger is being shipped fedex and got info from apple last night.
 
At my job the FedEx guy said that they received a lot of shipments and that they were in their hands. I took it for what it was worth and didn't think much of it since this was a little over a week ago. I live in the Bay Area and we have a major hub there in Oakland, a 10 minute drive from my job; I don't know how true this all can be. All we can do is wait and only time will tell!
When I woke up this morning and saw that I received the EOD I accepted I wasn't likely to get my watch tomorrow so I'll be shocked if I actually do.

Anyway good luck and hope this theory and what the FedEx guy told me are true.

You think I'm full of **** but you will see that your package is coming from UPS.

I hope not. UPS is garbage. Fedex is the best by a wide margin. I spent half my days in my early years filing UPS claims for lost and damaged packages. Never had Fedex mess up or lose anything.

And my stuff usually comes Fedex from Apple. Including iPhone 6.
 
Apple uses UPS and FedEx all year around. When it comes to big launches they have a contract to use UPS. I've been in the business for a long time. I have to personally sign papers from Apple about delivering procedures. I'm not here to be a pain but I'm sharing a little insider info

Eh. UPS used to smash packages regularly, but they are fine today. I don't see any real difference, other than that they auto delete your account if you don't use it enough.
 
Not to be a downer, but if like me, you haven't been charged yet, don't expect a delivery.
 
Whole lotta Fedex planes heading back to Memphis.
