Yes, me, too. I think it is just because of their weekend. Sunday seems to be their main day off with all the the crazy shipping Apple is doing. I’m sure we’ll see arrival scans later this evening, in about 8-10 hours.

Hopefully… my anxious side is getting a bit nervous (although my logical side is saying it’s no big deal).

First wave AWU here! Also ordered an aluminum AW8 41mm for the wife minutes after the keynote ended. Got a ship date of 9/29 - 10/6 and never moved. Found the same watch locally and cancelled the preorder. It was interesting I couldn’t get the aluminum AW8 for launch day delivery but had no trouble finding the same watch at several stores in the Austin / San Antonio area.

Seeing a lot of this with the 41mm as I said earlier in the thread. It's bizarre, it's like there was virtually no production on the 41mm. It's also been unavailable to pickup at Apple Retail Stores....I have been monitoring mine (Minneapolis stores) and they have plenty of 45mm but none have gotten 41mm (even on launch day) and a quick scan of NYC/Cali has shown the same "Unavailable for store pickup" message. Very curious.

Conspiracy?

Haha me too… iPhone 14 Pro Max didn’t show up in my UPS MyChoice and FLEW across the world no problem lol AWU DID show up and now it’s stuck… lol I agree with @julit0 though, could just be their off day but it’s now 5:37am in Shanghai on Monday so I hoped it would scan overnight early morning (their time). *checks up MyChoice 7,930,629 today* lol

Haha! Me too…. * just checked again, still stuck!

When trying to see my tracking it's only giving me the last 4 digits of the tracking #, when using the reference number.

I did notice this:

Yes, unless you have UPS My Choice and it links to you in that account, you won’t get a full UPS tracking # until it clears Import scans in Kentucky at UPS World Port. You can get a free UPS MyChoice account, but it will take a few days to establish any links to packages, so it may not ever link up before you get the tracking # via Apple, when they notify you it ships.

South Australia- Apple Watch Ultra Green Alpine and Air Pods Pro both changed to Preparing to Ship this morning. Now we need to see if they are coming from China or whether they are sitting in a warehouse in Sydney. If we get a shipped notification today then we know they’re coming from China.

Hoping mine also ships from Aus as part of initial launch allocation.

Last three Apple devices I ordered, got stuck in China for one reason or another, usually lockdowns, supply chain issues, etc.
 
wave 2 AW Ultras checking in. Got our Arrival scans in Shanghai. Now we’re waiting on a flight to Anchorage and on to Louisville! Let’s Go!!!

It’s crazy but I’m part of Wave 1 once again. I’ve never been part of wave 1 for any launch items.
