Apple Watch Shipping Notices

Anyone seeing shipping information on MyUPS or Fedex? I looked up the Delivery app on my iPhone but it's $4... is it free on Macs?

What time yesterday did we start to see movement in terms of shipping? Just trying to figure out if there's a time we should be looking at today.

It started around 10am PST

No movement on "Processing"/"Preparing" as on 7:50 am on the 21st. And no charge to my credit card.

I placed my order at 2:02 am, Central time. I ordered a 38mm with pink (I like to think of it as a more manly Nantucket Red) sports band. If you take the statistics that Slice posted http://cdn.cultofmac.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Apple-Watch-preorders.jpg seriously, fewer than 1% of those ordering ordered the same item. If I don't get my watch on Friday, I can't imagine why anyone else would, either.

I, too, ordered a Pink sports band, 38mm. Order went through at 3:04 ET. Still on processing and no CC charge.

HHas anyone seen any changes in delivery status for the UK yet?

Mronzano,

I ordered the 42mm with the pink band, and I too have had no charge or change in status. Order time 3:07am EST. I'll keep checking.

Most of the people who have posted shipping updated had stainless steel models.

No update on this end. Asked the fiance who has done Apple pre-orders before and he has said since we are in NYC it is possible I won't even seen anything until Thursday but still get it Friday. Apple reps said something similar. Some of us may not see movement until Thursday but stuff is in fact in motion and we will probably get it on time. I'll get worried if I don't have something by tomorrow night since 2 day shipping is a pretty standard thing.

I suspect that's pretty accurate. I got my iPhone 6 delivered and, if I remember correctly, I got the shipping notice on Wednesday (I'm in Chicago).

I think some of the confusion comes from the shipping dates, themselves. When I ordered my iPhone, the shipping date was a firm date--release day--not a sort of open ended April 24-May 8. That's where the concern is coming from, I believe.

To add to the confusion, some watches that are showing updates are for shipping far in the future. Confusing, to people who were in the first wave of purchasers (2:02am CST) and received the earliest fulfillment dates.

I can see why Apple didn't want to do the typical in-store first-day sales, with so many SKUs, but this has been pretty confusing.

Hi wilkelza, I am in NY and the money for my watch was extracted from my bank account and my status states "preparing for shipment" as of yesterday.

This is all starting to make more sense now, just because the status changes to preparing for shipment doesnt mean it's being shipped out yet it's just being prepared and will most likely be shipped out in bulk I'm assuming by Wednesday evening.

Exactly - preparing to ship is just that - preparing. Once it ships it will state "shipped". It just means that now Apple can take the money from your account or credit card because they are actually going to ship the product you ordered.

Thanks for that heads up. I haven't seen anyone who ordered the model I did get shipping updates so I'm still hopeful that I will get in Friday. If not no biggie just as long as I get it before I head out for vacation on May 1.

swandy, I suspect the Apple rep is right regarding the popularity of the black sport band. I ordered one as a separate accessory to my SS w/ classic leather. The expected delivery on the extra sport band is days later than the delivery date range for the watch and for the extra charging cable I ordered. I tried them all on in the store. If I had it to do over again, I might have ordered only the sport band and the dark aluminum case. Very light and very comfortable.

Does anyone know why the Apple Store App requires me to type my Apple ID password every single time I launch the app to check the status of my order? My Amex App accepts Touch ID every time, but the Apple Store always makes me type out the password except when I'm actually buying something. Odd.
