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

Ordered the 42mm Space Grey Sport watch on April 10, confirmation at 3:03am Eastern. I'm located east of Cincinnati in southern Ohio and still have yet to see a charge to my CC and any kind of update to my order status which is still showing "Processing." This is incredibly frustrating to see watches ordered after me with later shipping date windows being prepared for shipment before mine. Of course, the SKU I ordered was clearly the highest in demand and has complicated the issue worse. I'm still incredibly hopeful that I'll change before tomorrow night and if the overnight shipping rumors are true maybe I'll see it Friday. If not though, how can you pay a premium price for a premium product and not have it arrive on the ADVERTISED LAUNCH DAY. Huge screw up for Apple when it comes to public relations. Oh well though, not the end of the world!

This is what MacRumors explains about her memo: "The earliest Apple Watch pre-orders listed ambiguous delivery dates of 4/24 to 5/8, but Apple's head of retail Angela Ahrendts stated in a memo to employees last week that "customers who pre-ordered will start receiving deliveries next Friday as planned," so customers who managed to pre-order in the minutes before shipping dates started slippingwill see deliveries this week."

I take this as we will get them on Friday even if it still shows Processing.

We tend to see this with every iPhone/iPad launch. Sometimes it doesn't make sense on why some people who ordered later are getting shipments earlier. I think it really has to do with the shipping logistics that we have no knowledge of. I ordered at 3:03 AM Eastern and I'm still at the "processing" stage. There is another "rumor" going around that Apple is shipping these almost as custom orders so as not to have thousands of already customized watches sitting on a shelf. Who knows - this has been a very different type of launch for Apple. Fingers crossed for a Friday delivery - but I'm not counting on it. With every launch I've always received a notification by the latest on a Tuesday. Good luck everyone, it will be worth the wait!
