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

SKM: I think it's pretty clear that they're filling orders by SKU, not when the order was placed. And, for whatever reason, pink is at the bottom of the list of aluminum watches.


I've ordered a pink aluminum, too, and if I had to guess, I believe it will ship tomorrow or Monday.


Why they chose this way to fill orders is beyond me. It could have to do with adding more SKUs in one product than exist for all other Apple products. But it sort of defeats the purpose of getting up in the middle of the night to place your order, doesn't it?


I'd bet this is the last launch done this way.

I would agree. It is frustrating that we are being penalized for the color we ordered not being popular. I realize they gave us a window of delivery and I will be satisfied with getting it next week. It just shows they need to do some revision. Wish I would have known the shipping process, probably would have ordered a different color to start.

I totally agree! I ordered the pink thinking it would not be a popular color, I am so surprised that we haven't been promoted to at least prepared to ship. I was so feverishly excited at first and now...meh, it's very disappointing. Did you get that email that everyone was getting saying that they are working on the order at least?

Just got off the phone with an Apple representative. (Ordered at 3:03AM EST, 42mm Stainless Steel with the Black Sport Band of Death.)

Good news is that (1) my watch is scheduled to come out of a warehouse in Pennsylvania - not to far from NYC and (2) Apple is shipping all the watches expedited shipping which generally would mean next day for that short a distance.

Bad news is my order is still in Processing **** and he had no clue when in our beloved two week period they will actually be shipping it from PA to NY.
