Have you seen any status change on your order/gotten a shipment confirmation from Apple? Just out curiosity!

I haven't gotten confirmation from Apple yet. I will for sure post it as soon as it hits my inbox!

Go to ups, click track by reference. Put in your phone number for reference number and then manually change the date to friday.

Mine (42mm Aluminum Sport - White Band) just changed from "processing" to "preparing for shipment". The delivery still says "4-6 weeks - Delivers: May 13 - May 27" though.

Someone already answered above, but I wanted to clarify that I was not able to track by reference using my phone number. Also, I could not change the date to anything past 4/23 (tomorrow). I tried with my phone number and there was nothing. Deleted my phone number and put in my first name. That pulled it right up.

At what time did you ordered?

Ordered at 2:02 CST

Did they charge your credit card already?

Yeah, for some reason, if you use the calendar on the website, you can't click on Friday, but you can type it in manually.

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...

^^ this.

I just tracked it again because I had closed the window. I had to do a date range starting a week ago for it to show up. I did 4/1-4/23 and it popped up.

Now to just be bothered it says Monday instead of Friday. Perhaps it will change.

Anyone is California?

Has anyone is California gotten any tracking info? We live in Cupertino, maybe Tim Cook is going to drop it off himself? lol

Not yet which seems odd.

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

That's the originating address... so it *could* be an Apple warehouse in a nondescript building somewhere, and not UPS specifically.

Though, if it is truly a UPS location, it could well have nothing to do with Mount Juliet, they have a few hubs that are named after points where they have to drop and pick up trailers rather than the actual hub location.

Has ANYONE received any confirmation on bands? I don't want to wear this stupid White band, and my black band shows coming 4/29 - 5/8....still in processing items.

 

[Janichsan]

YES! Finally the Watch is shipping!!!

Oh, wait… I don't care.

You know... At work they have these "Tiger Teams"...

I've always wanted to be on a Cougar Team.

I changed my mind halfway through that morning and ordered the Milanese loop at 10:00am EST. It says I can expect to get it in May. No changes to status though.

to everyone waiting to see the status change from preparing to ship --- shipped

From Apple Customer Support Chat:

"Prepared for Shipment means that it’s boxed up and we are waiting for the right moment for the carrier to pick it up and ship it out to you. Once again, we ship your item at the very last second so it can be delivered by the estimated delivery dates of 4/24-5/8. We always try to have it delivered by the first date."

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

Yes, ordered the same watch. In Chicago. Charged yesterday and changed to preparing. Hasn't shown up in UPS yet.

 

[Sodner]

Damn u Apple where are my watches?!?!?!?!? You charged me for them, one Monday, the other Tuesday. Both say preparing for shipment, but neither UPS or Fedex show anything. Do I stay home Friday or not!?!?

Cupertino, CA here.

Ordered the White 42mm Sport at 12:05.
My card was charged on Monday and the status was changed to "preparing for shipment"

I still haven't received any tracking info and attempting to find it via reference number on UPS has been a failure so far.

First off. Super cool that you live in Cupertino. I hope to visit the mother ship someday.

Second, I'm glad I'm not the only one still not seeing anything from a carrier.

My Watch order, placed about a minute inside the pre-ordering window, still shows "Processing Order". So not shipped or even being prepared for shipment.

Not that I'm jealous or impatient or anything like that!

Does anyone else in the UK have a Watch that's being shipped?

Ordered mine within a minute or two as well and haven't been charged and its still on processing.
