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......)

    Same here 42mm SS BSB

    I ordered at 0205 CST 4/10 still processing.... Did a chat session on 4/23 to make sure the card info was alright and was told everything was swell and it would be delivered in the given date range. Wonder what crashed or did they somehow mess up the shipping order i.e last in first out.

    There seems to be a lot of variations on mac rumors forums

    I'm thinking there was a logistical error and our watches were allocated else where: fashion stores, those functional hands on demos, another country, etc.

     

    22 People are currently waiting on the stainless steel 42mm case with black sports band who reserved early and are stuck in processing!

    My theory is there were production issues down on the packaging level. Have we seen 42 mm sports with black sport band go out? If so I bet all the black sport bands that were made got sent to the packaging facility for the sport model. The mistake wasn't discovered quickly enough and maybe the SS models are packed in a different facility than the sport models. That would explain why only the SS models are affected.

     

    Another theory which is also likely is that specific shipment is stuck in customs going out of China and so they are just sitting there until they get released. It actually happened to a pair of my custom converse for my wedding party. 5 of the 6 pairs made it to the US perfectly fine. 1 got stuck in customs because some putz forgot to pull the tag off after it was approved so it just sat there for a little bit until it got approved a second time.

    I understand Apple is all about the unboxing experience but I wish they would have packaged the bands separate from the bodies. Then they would have only had 3 unique watches to have to worry about, and could have just stockpiled the bands.

    Probably. I know nothing will probably come of this list but at least we have a definitive total and know we aren't the only ones in this situation. Apple should hook us up with commemorative navy or grey sports bands lol, for being die hard fans, waking up early to get a reservation only to not have a watch on launch day.

     

    Hopefully when one of our orders prepares for shipment, all of ours will.

    That still doesn't solve the issue if the band is the problem. Unless it is my first scenario where all of one band got sent to the wrong packaging facility. I whole heartedly believe even if they were packaged separately Apple wouldn't send you just a watch face and say so sorry we ran out of bands but we will get it for you with in the shipping time frame.

    Okay so have we lost hope of possibly getting notified today? Or do we feel like this is still something that could happen today?
