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

iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 8.3

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......)

    @stanzeman- did your status change from processing right over to shipped? Or did it say preparing for shipment before you got the shipping notice?

    I'm moving there with you swandy... I'm pretty resigned that the ton of us that got the 42mm Steel Black Sport band are going to be left behind tomorrow.   all who have moved to shipping let us know how they are when they arrive tomorrow.

    I'm trying to determine why there are actual comments under the apple watch community that indicate people have their watches. Must be Beyonce and her crew... LOL

    Has anyone else ordered a 38mm Apple Watch Sport Space Gray with BSB around 3:03 ET and is still in processing? It seems like people are receiving notifications for the 42mm...

    I'm in the same boat.  Got up early, got my confirmation email at 3:08 am EST, so I figured no problem.  As of 8:42 pm, order still processing and CC not charged.  The funny thing is that I would have been quite happy with an aluminum 42mm, but decided to get the SS model.  I got the email yesterday at 11 pm that they were working on my order.  I'm not going to be happy if that watch doesn't show up tomorrow.

     

    IMPO, Apple really screwed up on a number of levels.  First, while I can understand that it's more efficient to ship watches based on model and band rather than time of order, that's not customer centric.  It may make sense to an accountant, but it shouldn't make sense to a company that sells product based on customer experience.  Second, they had to know by Monday that people who ordered certain watches were not going to get their order on launch day, yet they have made no acknowledgement of the fact.  Would it have killed them to simply send out an email saying "hey, these models may be delayed a few days" so we wouldn't be on pins and needles all week long?  I wonder how many people arranged to be at home on Friday to sign for the watch?  Third, I read that people who ordered their watch later and were told it was going to be a couple of weeks have received shipping notices.  That seriously does not sit well with me.

    Vistah8r, the last time I checked my status was about 4:30pm EST today and it still said processing. I got my email at 6:30pm saying it shipped with arrival date of 4/24.  I was shocked.

    The email you are talking about has been sent. It is the Dear John email people are referencing that has been sent to most people that haven't been charged and don't have shipping information and basically says we are working as fast as we can and the shipping window is from 4/24-5/8 so we are pretty sure we will get it to you with in that window.

    I would imagine people in say Australia may have their watches as it is already 11am there.

     

    On the same note weren't some developers promised a watch between the 23rd and the 24th so maybe it was them?

    It's interesting. I decided instead of waiting all day at home I would see if UPS would arrange to hold the package at their depot in Gainesville Florida

     

    i just checked ups.com and there wasn't the usual list of places the package has been but under Last Location it said it was in Gainesville Florida. Don't know what that means but I'm going to try and pick it up tommorrow morning when they open
