Then I'll sue them for order discrimination. Don't worry me and and a motivated lawyer will come up with something creative to teach Apple not to mess with the little guy. Companies like Apple live for their reputation and they don't want anything getting attention that might tarnish it. I know liberal Tim feels that way.
I hear ya. Lesson learned.
On the bright side, if it's really May 13 to 27, there will be at least one and maybe more software updates.

Awesome lets go down that path. It order for there to be discrimination first we have to assume that the apple store is a public accommodation. For this fun little exercise let's go down that path and assume that is true (and it most likely is.) Next lets assume that you'll sue under Federal Law, to do that you have to show that Apple discriminated you on the basis of your being a part of a protected class. At a federal level the protected classes are Age, Sex, National Origin, Race, Religion, Color, Pregnancy, Citizenship, Disability, Familial Status, etc...
In order to prove discrimination on the basis of one of those classes you'll need some pretty hard evidence. Considering that I'm sure that members across the spectrum of all of those groups have been sold watches so there isn't a prima facie pattern of discrimination. So do you have emails or documented phone calls where someone told you that they weren't shipping your watch because of those reasons, and evidence that is true?
I'm pretty sure you are trolling, but if you aren't there isn't a lawyer in this country that would take your case and risk sanctions.
That is always an option and that was available on 4/10. But I prefer home delivery than going out of my way to get to an Apple Store.
Shipped today - scheduled delivery Monday
12:03 order time on 4/10 - received EOD 04/22 - went to shipped status today 04/25 with a scheduled delivery date of Monday 04/27.
42 SS BSB - NorCal.

No, in-store was not an option on 4/10. Apple displayed it as an option but you could not click on it. That's what I wanted to do, I gave up on both iPhone Apple Store app and online at 02:08 cdt. I went ahead and purchased to ship to my house with confirmation at 02:10:39. I was set to purchase at 02:00 when the app loaded. Still amazes me how 519 seconds makes a 4 to 6 week difference.
Wrong. In-Store was a radio button but disabled this time. It was not announced store pick-ups were unavailable. U.S. die-hards wanted the experience of standing in line for pick-up.
Charged on Friday. Shipped confirmation on Saturday. Eta Monday deliver to Phoenix Arizona.
I got this email from Apple:
We're working on your order.
Order Status: W548XXXXX
Dear Joe Smith,
Your Apple Watch will be delivered between April 24th and May 8th. When your order ships, we'll send you an email with a specific delivery date and tracking information.
So my Legal Eagle, are you claiming that some lawyer would not be able to sue Apple for failing to deliver my order Apple during their own promised delivery time frame? I paid with ApplePay and Apple CS says that the card has been approved. They have been advertising that watch is available on 4/24. They have been delivering watches on 4/24 and since. So if they fail to deliver my watch by 5/8 as they have committed to and without serving me due notice and proper cause as to why they could not satisfy my particular order, I definitely think I have a lawsuit with some merit on my hands.
But hopefully, Apple won't let it come to that.

My sister is :03, I'm :05. Both 42 SS BSB Nor Cal. We're getting close.
Pre-Auth isn't a charge. The watch was available on 4/24 I'm wearing mine right now that I got on that day. The email doesn't modify the terms and conditions that you agreed to, so no.
So I just called CS and I was told that my order was received at 05:54 and My email was in my box at 1205.... confused on how thats possible
I hear what you say but in reality the law is not always coldly applied like that especially if the judge is sympathetic, the defendant is egregious, or there is a jury of people who don't interpret the law do clinically. For example, a couple can have a pre-nuptial agreement that spells out what one party gets plain and simple. But a Judge might decide that it is not fair since couple has been together for such a long time and amend it accordingly. Another example is when people get hired as at will employees, they can pretty much get fired if the boss doesn't like them. But they still sue and companies lose because the offended party is able to show why it was unfair in some way. Sometimes people see that and side with the offended party even if the law as it may be written is straight clear against them.
