It all smells of another shipment not related to Apple.
I have UPS MyChoice and haven't gotten anything. The card used hasn't been charged and my status hasn't change either. I think this is nothing but a joke quite honestly. #
Not a joke. My theory was that apple started printing shipping labels and ups just so happen to let the cat out of the bag before an official shipment email from apple and charge.
I got a notification today as well. Google led me here and I doubt it's Apple since I definitely have not ordered any Apple products. Not saying it couldn't be the case with OP, but definitely not the case with me.
Anyway, I pretty much joined to post this screen cap of my shipping info (with most personal info removed) and try to find out anything helpful.

Well like I mentioned, my good pal Google led me here since I didn't expect any sort of shipment. Definitely not trolling.
What have you ordered recently? Maybe we can put this to bed? Edit: I see it was MCB.
That's the thing.. I haven't ordered anything recently, aside from backing a Kickstarter project that hasn't yet shipped.
I've never heard of this Metro Custom Brokers prior to getting this shipping notification.
Your card doesn't have to be charged before the order ships. I got an iPhone (forget which one..4 maybe) and my card wasn't charged until 2-3 weeks after I got the phone. And I wasn't the only one it happened to. I thought maybe somehow my order slipped through the cracks and I wasn't gonna be charged. Silly me. eventually my card was charged. But it doesn't have to happen before ur order ships.

Same with me! I haven't ordered anything at all lately so this notification took me by surprise. I can't even begin to imagine what the heck is coming my way. This was the first link that showed up in Google even remotely related to what I was trying to find out about this so this is my first post here too. Definitely haven't bought anything at all from Apple!
What's weirder is that our shipments are varying in weight a little... hm. Mine says 1.70lbs... I seriously can't think of anything that could be coming my way and like you, I've never heard of this company that's shipping this thing before now.
I've received something from that company before, it was a junk mailer or some sort of flyer information to sign up for something. So wish it was something correct, but most likely will be what I got.
Btw, Google the apparent package details. It may be a scam. We get cases in my work like this A LOT! Just be careful. It's likely that they would use the Apple watch launch (which people are attentive to) as a reason to use those dates to scam people.
maybe you all have ordered from the same companies in the past and that company had an issue with their shipments where random labels were generated? lol seems so strange
my 2 cents tho i have a uPS my choice account; ordered an apple watch 38mm sport black band delivery 4/24-5/8 and i DID NOT receive any weird shipment notification lol.

Have you guys noticed that the first screenshot was cropped, the second one was from a mobile device and the third one shows the whole screen. All 3 users are new or have joined he forums 2 weeks prior. #
Apple shipping a phone and charging 3 weeks later?
Sounds a lot like "if you like your insurance you can keep your insurance" type of thing.
I've frequented Mac Rumors for years. Just so happens I found a thread I felt I needed to post in. In order to post, you have to have an account.
When I figure out what this package is, I'll be sure to post. This whole thread came to fruition over a couple of people who got a strange ups notification and who both happened to have the watch on order. As I said before, it's fun to speculate. The odds are not in our favor but it was fun to speculate. Several others use the same UPS MyChoice service and have said they didn't get anything. I guess we'll find out next week what all the fuss was about.
No need to be a tool though.
No one is being a "tool" about nothing. I'm simply illustrating palpable facts about this whole issue. It seems that everyone want's to be the first one to make a thread that will generate huge amounts of traffic and likes and speculation. Surely you can see my point. Furthermore, most of the OP's are junior users with accounts created very recently. Maybe not you, but others do create accounts just to troll.
I guess like you said, we'll find out next week.
Please DO let us know if you in fact get your watch shipped over the weekend.
And I can let you know that I have received a package from them, same type of situation about a year ago. It was basically junk mail, trying to get you to sign up for some ****. Same company as on the screen shots.
My 12w charging block that is scheduled to be delivered by Apple on Monday comes in at 1.0 lbs. I'm just guessing, but I think it's reasonable to believe a 5w charger, magnetic cord, band(s), watch head, box and packaging would come in greater than the ranges that are reported in the notifications. That being said... I hope it is your watch because that means ours could be close behind. Please let us know what you get and when you get it.
If that's true, they won't get anything from me lol. Why would anyone want to send junk mail through UPS?
