It sure makes waiting easier. Many hours pass in, what feels like, seconds. But yes, it's good for the mental health as well. Haha. Good night everyone and good luck!

I think my last post is proof I need to go to bed now and work on my mental health #
 
Have we actually established that order time matters?

Many Apple representatives have asserted that it does. Indeed, that it's an overriding factor. ...However credible one finds their representations.

Different Watch models have entirely independent queues, though. So a 42mm SS BSB preorder is apparently independent of a 42mm SS WSB preorder. And a 38mm SS BSB. And so on. (Possibly this explains some of the apparent out-of-order shipping notifications; not everyone on this thread, and sometimes not even the moderators directing traffic here, have always respected the thread title.)

Also, it appears that many (possibly all 9) countries have Watch allotments that are reserved specifically for them—such that a later order from (say) Germany could be delivered before an earlier order from (say) the U.S.

Then, Apple's queue record allegedly does not always match the time that preordering customers believe that their preorders were confirmed. Supposedly some people received an e-mail confirmation at X:0Y a.m. on April 10, but Apple has registered that preorder coming in many minutes later. If true, this would lead to apparent out-of-order shipments.

Finally, who knows if everyone (really, anyone) here is telling the truth about their confirmation times?

I think it's very difficult to hack through that series of ambiguities to guess at what posts on this thread suggest about near-future Watch deliveries. But several of us are absurd (desperate?) enough to try it anyway.
 
I don't think any charges have come that late, tonights charges don't match as all flights were in the air.

Last couple of nights, charges followed arrivals, with few (if any) occurring after 10pm. I have no clue as tonight's rhymes or reasons. I'm spent, though.
 
I am pretty darn close and buying my watch off eBay. I'm scheduled in the first wave 4/24-5/8 and stuck in processing
 
Is the Louisville sorting for only ups or fedex too

Louisville is UPS, the Worldport is there. Largest HUB for sorting for UPS, from there it goes it the approriate region you live in for sorting.

If mine is coming from Louisville, the sorting facility after Louisville is the only one I need for it be on the truck for delivery.
 
I didn't use Apple pay, just my card. And I've noticed when I shop that my charges don't show up online for my credit card instantly like they do for my debit card. Usually takes about a day

Oh I see. You literally spurred me to go down the street to McDonalds and use apple pay with my credit card on WF to see how fast it posts. LOL. And even after that, I used the same Apple Store app to buy a 2nd watch charger with same method. And both times it was charged instantly as a temporary authorization, with 2 notifications - 1 from my wells fargo app, and 1 from gmail. So it definitely works, just waiting for my damn card to get charged. This really sucks man. Ordered immediately at 12:03. UGH
