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......)

Interesting people's cards are beginning to be charged and status changing .. someone mentioned earlier that not only does the time you ordered make a difference but also which watch. My point is .. my order confirmation came through at 12:02am and I ordered 38mm, sports, space gray, black band .. there is no pending charge on my visa and no change from "processing order". I did read this particular combo was very popular so even though I got the order in early doesn't mean I'll get my watch before people who ordered later with a different combo. Shipping to MA.

I just got my pending charge from Capital One. I used Apple Pay for the 38 mm White Sports watch. I got my confirmation email at 12:02 am on 4/10 showing delivery date of 4/23-5/8. And am now showing "preparing for shipment" status. I'm so excited! I've been checking just about every hour for the last two days. lol! I really hope I get this watch on Friday. Cheers!

I ordered the SS, Classic Leather Band at 12:12 PST on Apr 10. No charge to my card yet. Still "processing" my order. Expected delivery: 4/24-5/8.

I ordered an extra cable at 12:28 PST. Credit card was charged today, 4/20. Status is now "Preparing for Shipment" for delivery 4/23 - 4/28.

I ordered a black Sportband at 12:28 PST. No charge to credit card yet. Still "processing" for deliver 4/29 - 5/12.


I can't imagine how many times the Apple Online store was pinged this afternoon once charges started posting to customers' credit cards. As the world changes to give customers instant notification of payments, shipping status, etc. on our wrists and across multiple devices, I expect requests for status updates will flood Apple's servers in larger and faster waves.
