Question my order finally went through but my watch is coming from Pennsylvania to Los Angeles. Anyone else from California watch coming from Pennsylvania?

I'm in PA about 30 min from their center and my 42 SSBSB is coming tomorrow from TN... Seems like a very inefficient system.
 
People should please remember to distinguish between moving out of "processing" and getting a shipping notification. There is a big difference. Posting just something like "I got a shipping notification" is actually useless information for the rest of us. It means you got charged and moved to "preparing for shipment" hours ago. The key metric we care about is that initial movement.

So, if you are posting shipping notification please also post when you were initially charged and/or moved to "preparing to ship" so that we may have some context.
 
Not trying to hound you, but this is a big jump! Please confirm order time and that you are U.S.

U.S. order, email received at 8 minutes 29 seconds after 3 am eastern time.

I honestly don't know how I got charged now, I did call AmEx today to make sure there wouldn't be any holds or delays and I was cleared. I then had to call Apple to change my shipping address (from home to work) and that went through no issue. Then, out of the goodness of my heart (don't believe me if you want) I thanked my rep (his name is Randy) and all the other phone reps for all the good work they do, and apologized for all the dumb, entitled people for calling in and demanding answers.

Maybe he returned the favor and bumped me up, maybe it was just karma. Maybe it's just a coincidence because I called AmEx and they're showing up, I don't know. All I know is the amount for my watch and AC+ has been deducted from my credit card and gift card.

Take all that as you will.
 
Well we have 5 planes to look forward to tonight. #

Other important info includes time order was placed, with seconds, and where they are.

Thanks for info and congrats! Hope your order status changes soon too. Keep us posted please.
 
Hoping some charges go though soon- here's my info and will update when anything changes.

Glenview, IL

42 SS BSB Email received xx:05:52
Received EOD 12 AM Central
No Charge
Processing

42 SS Classic Buckle Email Received xx:15:32
Received EOD 12:15 AM Central
No Charge
Processing

Also ordered a link band on the side like other posters. Since the link watch was 4-6 weeks went with the BSB to speed things up. The time I spent deciding cost me a week in delivery time though. :-( To be honest I took my time figuring it was still within 10 minutes of opening and there's no way I wouldn't get it on launch day.

I did receive my extra 2m charging cable on the 23rd. Interesting thing is that my Deliveries app notified me it was shipped again. When I go to track it, it shows there's another .5 lb package arriving tomorrow with the same tracking number. Did they accidentally ship me another cable?

Ok, I just read what you wrote and was shocked. I also called earlier and was polite and stated that I am sure your getting calls from some insane rude people. I was charged 25 min ago. Order Time was the 10th at 309.41amEST. Wasn't expecting this today at all. Wonder now if the entitled ones who blasted them is the cause for all our delays. Oh yea. Yes I ordered the 42mm SS BSB.

Update:: it still says processing though
 
So on this page we have two people who ordered at :08 and :09 who were both charged today for 42 ss bsb? after calling in and being polite to Apple employees?

Uhhhh I'll be right back.. phone call to make.. just kidding. That's crazy though.
 
What was your order time? Mine is also supposed to come from TN. So, knowing you time would help me try to determine when mine might come. Thanks

For what it's worth my watch is shipping out right now and will be here tomorrow and it's coming from Harrisburg Pennsylvania.
 
My buddy (lives on the same street)ordered his 00:03:40 Maine, USA his was charged this AM, moved to preparing, UPS tracking all uploaded delivery for tomorrow.

I told him about launch and needed to pre order, mine is 00:04:38 no movement!!!

Rrrrrrr...
