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......)

My order just changed tonight to prepared for shipping. I had the window of the 16th -18th as of an hour ago, what is the wait time on average that I should be seeing my watch? I ordered last Tuesday which was May 26th.

I ordered my SGS BSB on Wed May 27 at about 9 pm and have the same June 16th-18th window. I'm hoping it ships today or tomorrow to have it on Monday. It definitely has to ship next week to make the delivery window.

If it was charged last night, then watch for the status to change to preparing for shipping. once that kicks in, whatever it says on the page for estimated ship dates doesn't matter. More than likely it will ship out today and you'll have it by tomorrow. My card was charged fully tuesday night. Status on page changed to preparing for shipping yesterday on or about 6am. then last night it changed to shipped w a tracking # on or about 630. Course, then UPS mucked it all up, but that's okay 😀

I am happy for all those recieving their watches.... But it is upsetting when you call Apple and tell them that others who ordered after you are receiving their watches before you. Then they argue with you!!!! It really wears at my product loyalty. I ordered my SG BSB on May 6th 2015 and I hate that I am still waiting while it is "processing", when someone orders one last Tuesday and already has a tracking number.

The people who ordered last Tuesday most likely ordered 38mm models. I'm assuming you ordered a 42mm model. Remember, the 42mm models had the jacked up haptic motors when the 38mm models did not. That's why the 38's ship in a couple of days and you and I are waiting weeks for our 42mm models. Well, except for the one person that said they ordered the sport with the green band and received a tracking number, which could be an anomaly.
