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......)

    The problem we are facing is that Apple prioritized everyone other than its customers. Re-sellers in CA and London received over 700 watches combined, which would have easily sold out to direct order customers, making the net result to Apple the same. This is typical big business. The customer is last resort. Apple has enough statistics to know which bands would have been the best sellers and should have been prepared. I agree with the post above, they should have packaged the bands separate and at least we would have a watch. They should have also, sent early pre-order customers and email, allowing them the opportunity to switch their band selections allowing the watch to be delivered on 4/24. I consider this a small case of bait and switch. All of their marketing and conference meetings noted that early pre-orders would ship on 4/24, then at the last minute they posted all of the dates with a range of 4/24 - 5/8. Thats just poor marketing and communication with your customers. This would have never happened is Mr. Jobs was still with us.

    Jsuchi is probably right.   I bet Apple makes no statement, no apology, no updates.   As far they're concerned, we should be happy to get our watches BY 5/8.   Otherwise, it raking in the $ as usual for them.   This will not even be a blip on their screen. 

     

    Let's all update this post if anyone sees movement on the MIA 42 mm SS w/ BSB.   I'd be surprised if anyone gets progression in order status until at least Tuesday.   Hopefully, I'm wrong.

    Very well said bm3088.   I wish there was a realistic alternative and I'd buy that and post on every board in every tech forum I could find just to take a few $ from this company.   As you said, Mr. Jobs had it right...Tim is no Steve.   BTW...how many people here just had to have this watch because Beyoncé, JJ, Lagerfeld, or the other celebs who had it?   I bet zero.   Hating the post-Job's Apple culture right now.

    I bet there are thousands of dissatisfied people like us wondering what happened and why they bothered to get up to preorder.

    I agree as well, if the problem is the band, they could have given us the option of taking a different band.  Of course, if the problem is that they are simply going by SKU and the 42 mm SS Apple Watch with BSB is the last on the list, then it wouldn't have mattered.  The best they could have done was either start earlier or simply let us know that we are at the end of the queue.

     

    As far as if Steve Job had been there, I seem to recall a couple of similar type issues under Jobs.

     

    I also expect that Apple won't say anything unless somehow the national media picks up on the story and it become a big deal rather than something to be swept under the rug.

     

    I do wonder a bit if bringing in all the outsiders as top level execs has caused a culture change for the worse.  I've seen it happen at a number of big companies.  Long time CEO retires/leaves, the heir apparent gets the job and then brings in a group of outsiders to provide "a fresh view" and you get a quickly lose that mind set that makes the company special.
