UPS shows watch to be delivered tomorrow but order status still preparing to ship

On the other side of the county (east coasters) for people getting watches from the Harrisburg hub, next day air last call pick-up is at 6:15pm.. so you watch still has 3 hours to get from wherever it is now, to PA and then it can magically appear on your doorstep!
I hope watches come soon for us all
last call doesn't apply here to apple. it's just for us, regular consumer and small companies. if apple wants, they can just rent a separate cargo plane to fly everything out. no, actually if they want, they can just buy ups all together with cash lol
----------
on the ups text there is a link, click it. and there is no 'ship from', but after you log in, there it is.

I see. Im using MyUPS because its coming to a business, so I did not get a text. Im just looking it up on the site, and it does not tell you.
right, it doesn't tell you unless you log in.
if you are in california, based on info here, it's probably shipped from the same place as the rest of us.
Look in UPS Mychoice. It will say more.
Apple loaded up trailers this AM and they will drive out tonight, be sorted at a hub and fly to their destinations tonight. They will sort there and go out for delivery probably in the early AM. All of the final run happens overnight; big companies like this put everything in containers set by destination. Logistics!
Of note - my 2nd watch ordered at 3:10 did not prepare to ship never mind ship. I do not expect it tomorrow, though oddly people who got the EOD did get shipment notifications today. I did not (for the 2nd order). It looks like Apple prioritized one watch per person at first, unless both were on the same individual order.
Thanks! I finally just called UPS and asked the old fashioned way
. Its coming from Rialto even though the service is Next Day Air. Strange. Anyway, you are right. Lots happens overnight in my experience.One of my two watches in Rialto has just changed to "shipped". No changes on the UPS tracking though. Still waiting for the other one to ship.
Anxiety level going down, slightly. Will go down further when I see actual UPS activity. Will disappear entirely when watch is in hand.
I'm laughing at myself...

At 1:16 A.M my order went to Processed: Ready for UPS and hasn't updated since.
I'm paranoid that by selecting hold for pickup I have screwed things up
Was yours a 42mm? I have two coming, a 38 and 42. Both are in Rialto, but only the 38 has changed to "shipped". Maybe they are on separate palettes.

Click on Live Chat on the bottom left corner. The next page sometimes says extra information that doesn't show up in the tracking page. Try it out!
I tried it but nothing yet. Thanks for the tip!

Does Apple still note your watch as preparing to ship? Let me know if you get any tracking updates via UPS and I will do the same. Thanks!
The Apple Store updated my status to shipped a few hours after I received the UPS tracking and delivery notice, then Apple sent the same shipped/delivery email about 6ish hours later.
Basically, if UPS says it'll be delivered tomorrow — you'll get it tomorrow. It seems like Apple's notification system is delayed a little bit.

Just worried that by selecting hold for pickup at a hub tomorrow I have thrown a wrench in it.
No alert from Apple but status now shows shipped but still no updates on tracking. Just the initial preparing shipping.

Has your tracking updated?
You Californians are worried?! My is stuck in the same "a label has been created" with origin from Rialto, but I live in NASHVILLE and it hasn't updated!
You'd think my watch would be sitting in the Tennessee warehouse, but no.....
So I'm a bit worried about it arriving tomorrow (even though my label does say delivery 4/24 - next day air).

Mines from Rialto and it just updated to shipped. You might see something soon.
Mine still say Preparing to ship on the Apple site and MyUPS says it's scheduled for delivery tomorrow, but I'll sure feel better when the status changes to shipped. It's almost 5pm, so I'm getting nervous.
Anyone else? I'm in AZ BTW and its shipping from Rialto, CA.
----------
Update:
5 minutes after making this post, I got an email with the shipping notification. Woohoo! Nervous for nothing. Good luck to anyone else still waiting.

Out of curiosity, where are you located?
My label was generated at 1:16am this morning, and no further movement. It would realllllly stink if it was my Apple Watch that got lost in the mail.

Im in Northern California. MyUPS updated a little earlier than yours, so I bet your will update soon.
