UPS Begins Confirming April 24 Apple Watch Pre-Order Delivery for Some Customers

Shipping from Mt. Juliet

My 42mm white Sport is scheduled to be delivered on the 24th according to UPS. I live in Mount Juliet, TN and have no idea where a UPS hub is located in Mount Juliet. Mount Juliet is located about 15 miles east of downtown Nashville. The location seems odd to me since the UPS hub I am familiar with is closer to downtown Nashville. Perhaps they have rented out a staging area somewhere other than the UPS hub. Anyway, hopefully mine gets here quickly since I live here. LOL
 
Preparing for shipment

My card was just charged and order status updated to preparing for shipment.
I ordered at 12:16 and had an ETA of May 13th - 27th ETA
 
Still no movement on card or on status.

Chicago, IL.

Anyone near Chicago order the same watch, but been charged or order status updated?

Where are you located, I'm starting to believe there is a pattern for the SG in California? Most of my friends here in California have NOT seen anything yet.

Same watch, also Chicago. No update or full charge on the card yet. Nothing on UPS as well but I can't use MyChoice with my addresses anymore.

Not worried either just likely all being assigned yet in TN/IN warehouses.
 
Shipment

Still waiting on change from Processing Items

Ordered a 42MM SG Sport at 2:03CST and Confirmation at 2:05.
Also got thrown in the May 13- May 27th Window.

Sad Day........

I'm in the same boat. I wasn't worried before because things like this have happened with my Apple purchases but I'm starting to get frustrated.

My iPhone 6+ showed processing until the day it was delivered. I want to pick up my delivery directly from UPS because I don't want it laying on my front porch. Can't do it until I get a tracking number.

Frustrating.

I'm in Los Angeles also and got charged this morning; order is now preparing for shipment.
 
I just went to UPS My Choice and saw that calendar with both of my 42mm Sports arriving here in the Dallas area on Friday.:eek:
 
42mm SG Sport

Hey All!

Has anyone actually gotten a shippment notification email from Apple? My card was charged for my 42mm Space Gray Sport on Monday and the status was changed to "Preparing for Shipping" so I was hoping it would have alreadyy gone out by now for Friday arrival. Should I lose hope?
 
Where can you Pre Sign for the delivery? I don't see it anywhere unless it has to actually ship out first before that link appears.

I have tried almost every iPhone cycle and always get same response that the phones require a signature. Sometimes it was blamed on AT&T. But I have never been able to e-sign.

Once I left a legal letter to fedex on my door absolving them of responsibility if they just left it there. Nope. They took at back and had to pick it up in person.

Interesting.. I've done this a couple of times without any problems. Simply print out the page, sign and attach to my door.
 
Almost there

:cool: I'm in the Dallas area too and I saw the UPS Friday delivery date yesterday. I'm super stoked! I just want to get that tracking number so I can call off work to wait for the arrival! :D:D:D:D:D
 
Got this nugget from the Apple Store chat session

When asking about my Green sport "preparing for shipment" status from Monday with no tracking number issued yet, I got the following;

"More than likely my friend. “preparing for shipment” means it has left our warehouse and it’s on it’s way to the carrier who will make the delivery. Once the carrier has the package en-route for delivery you will receive the shipment notification with the tracking number attached to view the exact delivery date."

The chat agent looked up both this order number and the one for my wife's 38mm SS black sport and said they both look good to be delivered by Friday.
I'll believe it when I see it, but nice words of encouragement (maybe canned) but nice nonetheless...

Have you seen any status change on your order/gotten a shipment confirmation from Apple? Just out curiosity! :)
 
Very happy for those receiving their tracking numbers.

Now, yes, Apple did give a delivery window, but still, I'm very dissapointed to still see "Preparing for Shipment" on my status and have received nothing from UPS, nor is there anything under My UPS account.

It's not lke I'm getting the coveted SS Space Gray, just a lowly 42mm Sport with the lime green band.

All the people trying to explain why Apple could not have a paltry (and it is paltry) 2.3 million units ready for "launch"(?) day are missing the point of a launch, I believe.

The best, easiest solution proposed a couple of times - watches and bands boxed separately. No need to gather, assemble, box, ship. Would have cut out two steps. Apple is satisfying investors at the expense of the customer. Should have waited one more month to "launch".

<Sigh> well, congratulations to all those that have received tracking info! Keep us informed so we can all feel like we're part of the excitement! :)
