wow, looks like US orders for 42mm SS BSB are getting pushed to the back of the line again.
ordered 3:04 EST NYC
confirmed 3:05 EST
EOD, no charges no nothing.
congrats to all the canadian orders getting the preparing to ship!

Damn! I knew I should have purchased the 42MM SS ML. But I just thought that they would have many more of the cheaper model. So I bought that and the ML band as an accessory. Big mistake! I ordered at 3:06AM EST from NJ, USA and I'm in the 4/24 a 5/8 delivery window. But this waiting and having no idea when your order will ship really sucks. A CS rep I spoke to says I'm guaranteed delivery by 5/8. Hopefully, I get it much sooner than that.
 
Exactly...as unhappy as we are with the way this has been handled, it does say standard shipping on the orders.

Yeah, I paid the $0 for standard and chose not to pay for expedited. It's my own dumb fault that I'm getting it Wednesday and not Tuesday.
 
I'm just beyond frustrated with all of this. Now they aren't even shipping the watches overnight, as if those of us who ordered minutes after the other's aren't worth overnight shipping after launch day. It's just not right.

When I ordered, I clicked the button for shipping options and only had one. I didn't have a choice. Believe me, I would pay extra for faster shipping. In a heartbeat.

They didn't offer expedited shipping. Being in logistics for a living. I bet it's coming overnight. Likely this launch was bid to UPS and FEDEX with overnight being stipulated for pre-orders. That's how most of my massive shipping events tend to move.

I sure hope so. The rep just told me that they assure that they are sending them the fastest ways possible. I hope you guys them earlier than Wednesday. If not, I'll be lucky to get mine by 5/8.
 
Appears to be the case. Looking on Instagram for example shows a lot of people in the UK got this configuration yesterday as well. :confused:

Canadians gave us Hockey, Molson, and maple syrup. The UK gave us a revolution, tea and Harry Potter...we return the favor with the Apple Watch. Enjoy mate, eh? :apple: :D
 
Hey folks I ordered the elusive SS watch with black band on 10 April order went through at 8.06 am and haven't received any progress or payment took only the Email of Death a lot of folk in the UK who pre ordered on the 10th are starting to get fed up with the lack of communication and their orders stuck as processing while some who had Scheduled June deliveries show off their new apple watch the fact that the hold up is over a black rubber band and they never foresaw that the black rubber would be the most popular is a major f up on apple behalf
 
Just an update for those who are interested. I'm in Canada and was charged yesterday at 10:07 EDT for 42 SS BSB. Confirmation initially came in at 3:05am EDT on 10th. I just received my shipping notification from Apple indicating watch would be delivered on Wednesday the 29th.

Seems like a bit of time to wait. Do you think these new watches are being shipped directly from China?

I have the exact same delivery date for Ontario. I do think they are shipping from China and coming off the line as we speak
