Q: 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

A:

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......)

    Ana: I just chatted with the Store, and you're right. it seems they're filling orders, by SKU, in the order received and for some reason, those of us with 38mm pink sports bands are down the list.

     

    If I understood correctly, they fill all of the orders for a particular SKU, until they're out, then move on to the next SKU. Seems ridiculously unfair to those of us who got up at 2 am CST to order and felt like we were on time to get our watches on launch day.

     

    The only delivery date he'd quote me was what's on our emails: 4/24- 5/8.

    So........how many people here (like me) ordered the 42mm SS w/Black Sports Band (3:03 EST) and sort of wish they didn't?????

    Funny thing is I wanted the black Leather Loop also, but was not sure of the size, so I ordered it with the darn Black Sports Band that seems to be holding up a lot of orders. You would have thought that some genius at Apple would have said to themselves, "DON'T YOU THINK THAT WE SHOULD MAKE A LOT OF THE BLACK BANDS???!!!"

    Just a thought - have nothing better to do since my status has been the same for a LONG TIME!!!!

    So just because I got up and ordered at 3:02 ET doesnt mean anything? I Couldve ordered another color at 8 am and had just as much luck? Thats bogus!

    It's so rediculous their whole process and how they are disseminating information.   Some reps tell you nothing and others give out information that other reps deny or know nothing about.  I'd just rather know it's not coming tomorrow than all this speculation.   It's not rocket science...I'm not sure why they are not forthright and cannot make life easier on their customers.   I am stuck in Processing Purgatory on a SS 42 mm Black Sports Band which I've seen others also waiting on.   In Pennsylvania which is evidently near a delivery hub judging from other posts.

    I can't wait until everyone that is flipping out and swearing about Apple screwing up gets their watches tomorrow.  We are all excited but ****... people need to calm down a little bit. I could understand if people were ****** off tomorrow but it is still a day before the watch is supposed to arrive.  Wait until tomorrow to get all freaked out.

    HAHAHA My words that got edited were the same as "darn" and "p*ssed" I thought I was doing good by not swearing.

    ALso what really ticks me off is that all is preordered as per Apple instructions, most of us are not getting a watch tomorrow, and then they have the balls to sell units in "select" stores.   I have an idea, how about filling the preorders first so we all don't feel like idiots for getting up at 3 AM EST to preorder something we could've walked into a store tomorrow and purchased without having gotten up in the middle of the night and obsessively checked for our orders to progress through the shipping process only to never progress.   Poor form, very poor form.

    I totally understand your frustration but having worked for another massive company that had just as much of a cult following as apple (Disney and Starbucks) I can tell you sometimes employees like to say stuff when they really have no clue. They've been called a billion times or asked the same question over and over so they just start making things up. It makes their 8 hour day go a little faster and they think it makes the customer happy. Problem is it creates frustration.

     

    I wouldn't loose hope just yet. It is possible they have people working well into late tonight processing orders. Heck some people may have their order on the way now and just don't know it yet because their CC hasn't been processed so the apple system hasn't sent off a shipping notice. I have had stuff delivered and been like oh yeah I forgot I ordered that because I didn't see the charge until after and I never got a shipping notice. It happens.

    Have you tried to check UPS by entering your phone number into the tracking by reference field?  I was on apple chat and they wouldnt give any specs on shipping.... I read someone elses post about tracking via ups using your phone number and it worked.... My order on apple still says Preparing for Shipment... UPS gave me a tracking number and say my watch will be here tomorrow before 3:00 PST.

    I'm guessing sometime tonight or tomorrow (hopefully sooner rather than later) they'll start on the pink sport models. The apple rep I spoke to wasn't very forthcoming, either.

    FFor everyone waiting for their watch, the  watch App Store just went live. It's cool seeing all the apps that are going to be available on the watch. There is about 3000 of them already. Check it out. It helps a bit with the wait for the watch haha.
