Apple Watch Shipping Notices

Just curious if anyone has received a shipping notice yet for their Apple Watch If they were lucky enough to get an early delivery date (24th). I know if is probably a bit early but worth asking.


thanks

I got my order on on 4/10 at 12:03 PST - at least that is the time on the email from Apple acknowledging the pre-order. And no, as of this evening my status has not changed from Processing Your Order to Preparing for Shipment.

I sincerely doubt if anyone will see that update until at the earliest next week. And even if they do ship, Apple's policy in the past for new releases is that the shipping company does not deliver before the release date. (Now I am sure that there are some stories about a mistaken early delivery - or perhaps a hefty tip to the UPS or FEDEX driver......)

i am in CA and received Preparing for Shipment at about 12:30 am yesterday and got notice of tracking that afternoon at 1:41 pm but UPS didn't let me see or recognize number till about 8:00 pm and then the UPS had recieved notice of shipment and watch was scanned in at UPS shipping facility TN. and departed en route to Louisiana, KY. i am presently waiting for watch to arrive as it is out for delivery. Hope this helps.

Apple watch ordered at 12:02 on April 10th in US, now 7 days late and counting.


Still waiting. Still processing.


Others who ordered later than me have their watches already.


Others who have estimated delivery dates later than mine have their watches already.


It’s like standing in line at the Apple store on launch day. It’s good to hear others receiving their watch. It means the line is moving and there is hope. But is more than frustrating that people standing in line behind me are getting their watch before me.

You are right that the confirmation said 4/24 - 5/8

But everything Apple said and did prior to the purchase lead most of us to believe that if we got our order in within a minute or two of midnight, we'd have our watch on the 24th. There are a couple web sites that are cataloging the watch deliveries and others have received the same model as me already.

When I pressed order on my iPhone at precisely 12:02 PST, the website was not even up yet. So yes, I expected it on the 24th.
