Yeah, it looks like physics might prevent. Going by that flightaware link, fwiw, it takes 9 hours from Shenzhen to Anchorage. Some time spent there. Then 6 hours to Louisville, KY. Then it would have to take at least overnight from there for delivery? It's 6:32pm May 11 Monday central time. Is 7:33am May 12 Tuesday in China. No UPS planes appear to have left yet 'today', (Tuesday there), at least such that are picked up at this URL, (http://flightaware.com/live/iphone), so any new shipments haven't even started yet. :( If they're going to make May 13, they're cutting it pretty close. I know sounding like a bunch of whiners but people have committed to pay just like everyone else that ordered weeks later, and is looking like LLs are going to be the only combo not making by initial date of range? Why? #firstworldproblems I know but not happy about it nonetheless.

Idk. If my order changes over night I may get it tomorrow! Cincinnati OH is only about 2 hours from Louisville!! I am super excited!!!!

Now I know I shouldn't get my hopes up, but I did. Come on Apple show me a LL!!

Ordered xx:03 ish
Bright Blue Leather Loop.
Thought it looked really nice.

I had read that PFS gets done a few hours before the UPS plane leaves China, and that about 3 hours after leaves they change the status to "Shipped" because at that point it is solid in UPS' possession. I have no way of knowing if that is accurate but seemed to make sense that Apple would call them "shipped" when the item is in possession of the carrier. As far as Apple is concerned at that point, it has shipped. I can see that, but just read it from other posts.

That's not how I've seen things go in the Flights thread where people are tracking the flights. Usually we see the flights landing in Louisville, and then a slew of PFS orders change over night as the shipments go through Apple's distribution centers there.

But... who knows. I still think it's possible we have shipments this week... though, whether it happens is still up in the air majorly.

All that to say, my fingers are still crossed.

That would be awesome. I'd still have a chance to get this week. :D

Where is the flights thread?
 
What's new? Lololol.....(starts sobbing)

IIRC, Drew said that the US has next day shipping so let's presume that the Leather Loops are on the 1:30AM Louisville flight arriving tonight then it goes to PFS and in a few hours it goes to shipping, wouldn't people still receive it by May 13?

And Canada has 2 day shipping so maybe that's why my estimated delivery starts at May 14th. :cool:

Yeah, if there are some on those flights, I think May 13 is still possible... though I'm only holding out hope, not holding my breath ;)
 
As someone who got my leather loop to go with my SSBSB I think it is a joke that I got my extra band before any of you get shipped out.
The leather loop is awesome though. You guys will love it.

Seriously, I've had my Milanese Loop for 2 weeks and just started the exchange on Saturday and is already shipped. Seriously, what monkey's are running this ship?

Seriously? You exchanged your Milanese for the Leather Loop just on Saturday and it already shipped?

This makes me a sad panda. Happy for you - sad for the rest of us. This has just been really disappointing.
 
Just got my Black Leather loop here in Japan. However, it's just the band... I originally ordered the 42mm Milanese Loop just to get the watch on launch.

The band caught me by surprise at first ... going from the shiny metal to a bolder, thicker black band. But I've quickly warmed up to it. Happy that it's here and that my watch is finally assembled. I'm trying to decide what to do with the original Milanese loop now.

Trying it for the rest of the day... pretty sure I'm keeping it!

Yeah, seriously not cool at all.

I've repented of my Milanese Loop ways and went with the better leather loop way.
 
42 blue sport ordered 4/24, charged yesterday around this time.. Just went to preparing for shipment past 5 minutes, 1145 pm 5/11. No movement on 42 SS BB LOOP yet but updates are happening now. Fingers crossed...

Looks. So. Awesome.

Reminds me of when I tried on an Apple Watch with Black Leather Loop at the Apple Store. On the 10th. Of APRIL.

GAWD..

That looks sharp! While I really liked the Milanese Loop and it's really sharp looking, it just wasn't as comfortable as I would have like. It also wasn't as casual as I would have liked either. The leather loop addresses both, comfort and casual.
