For a minute there I was worried we had no movement at all last night.
I'm 5/10 and still waiting.
Don't worry, last week started this way then all hell broke lose around Wednesday/Thursday. Keep the faith!
This. I was just about to post that last week all the movement happened Wednesday and Thursday. I am hoping for similar results this week.
Excellent, the "Hold at Customer Center" command through MyUPS worked, my watch is now waiting for me, 15 minutes away, on the first scheduled day of delivery.
I've updated the spreadsheet one last time, and deleted the bookmark. Good luck, those who continue waiting
Congrats, enjoy! I'm waiting for my "shipped" notification and tracking number now.
Mine went PFS yesterday early morning and the status didn't change to shipped until about 8:00 pm eastern last night. It is now on the truck out for delivery this morning.
Wow that was a quick turnaround from shipped -> out for delivery! Where are you located, if you don't mind?
And just as an FYI, I wasn't notified that it had actually shipped until a tracking label was created after the watch was in the USA.
So my label was created in Ontario, CA then went to Rialto to Louisville to Atlanta and out for delivery this morning.
Wonder if the 38 come off the same assembly lines as 42. If you watch the 38 shipping time frames, as they got short the 42 slowed down, and now the 38 are short so hopefully that means 42 will ramp back up.
What I mean is when the 38 had short time frame it seems like they stopped making them focussed on 42 and then we went through a bunch of 42 orders. Now the 38 is short so they can make 42 and the 38 waits will increase I bet.
I know it seems counter-intuitive but they need to stockpile before they can ship so if they stockpile 38 to bring time down they need to switch lines over. They would have made a bunch of 42, switched production, shipped out the 42, then it would have taken time to rebuild 42. So maybe as we speak they're cranking out 42 which will start to move again hopefully soon.

Atlanta. I was losing hope last night that I would get it today due to lack of movement and was pleasantly surprised when I got to work this morning and I was notified that my watch was out for delivery. I am completely amazed how the watch went from California to Georgia and was sorted out and put on a truck in a little less than 12 hours.
My guess is that if your watch ships tonight (and it probably will), your watch will be on your wrist tomorrow afternoon.
From your lips to UPS's ears! I'm in NJ, so not too far.
It is truly amazing the kind of infrastructure they must have to be able to accomplish that.
I'm hoping my watch is on one of the plans that left Asia this morning Eastern time.
I know I sound crazy but I was watching the wait times for the 38 and as we were cranking through 2 weeks of pre-orders in a week, 38 shopping dates went from 5-7 days to 2-3 weeks. We have seen a slowdown in shipping of 42 which is obvious because each day of pre orders had less orders than days before and we haven't seen much movement. Now go look at the 38 today and they're back to 5-7 days.
My May 11th order has moved up to a June 12-17 delivery, with an "available to ship" of 7-10 business days.

That shows both flights leaving Asia on route to Alaska and then from Alaska to one of the distribution centers on the continental US.
