Still stuck in Louisville, KY. AWU ordered and shipping to Milton, ON. Not sure why UPS does this, as they have missed delivery windows on previous preorders. There has been flights every day to either Toronto or Hamilton, but it still sits in KY. Usually moves the night before delivery (tonight). This leaves a lot of room for "errors" and missed scans. Still confuses me why UPS leaves it to last second, but they are the shipping "experts" haha!

Received the email; my Ultra shows delivery tomorrow. I didn't do the UPS portal sign up, because I get my Apple products delivered to my work address (it's helpful that the mail/Fedex/UPS delivery room is just across the hall from my office) so I don't have to worry about late deliveries, a delivery that requires a signature, someone lifting it off my porch, etc. Plus, because it's coming to my work address, stuff usually shows up around 10 am.

In the UPS details of my shipment, it shows a shipped/billed on date of 9/17, and an "On the Way" timestamp of 9/20 to Louisville.

Interestingly, I orderered a S8 stainless (41mm) for my wife on the same order as the Ultra. It still shows a delivery by Oct 3.

So my ultra is coming via syncreon(DHL) and my AirPods via DPD

I’m the reverse…Ultra is coming via DPD, who despite what the App Store are saying (‘Arrives tomorrow’) pinged me on their app to say it’ll be Monday. Hoping they’re just being conservative and I’ll have both tomorrow…who knows with DPD 🤷🏻‍♂️

Mine AWU was originally pushed to mid October and I just got a shipping notification that it will deliver by 9/28.

Me too. And cannot wait to see it go! Still awaiting 3 more bands, but hoping I can pick them up at Apple tomorrow morning, then cancel my orders. 🙏🏻 🙏🏻

 

[HeyMazza]

Just got off chat with Apple, and is expected to be here tomorrow! I also have an Ultra through T-Mobile arriving tomorrow, too. Exciting!

That is amazing! Whoop Whoop!

You aren’t “stuck”. My phones have been in Louisville until the late night flight on Thursday. Landed in dallas after midnight and delivered to me on Friday afternoon.

Midnight Ocean strap finally got a label and should be here tomorrow. I put a hold on the AWU at my local UPS CC, so I'll snag that tomorrow morning while we wait for UPS to deliver the strap separately. I'm hoping to get a Starlight Alpine loop for in-store pickup as well. I'm going to be bored after tomorrow, not checking these threads, UPS, and Apple every 20 seconds for updates! I'm going to miss all of you!

Well this is exciting. Woo hoo!

German video showing multiple bands on the Ultra.

It is interesting that some of us that have been stuck in Louisville since 9/20, have received a shipping notification from Apple, but no release scan from UPS. Normally the Apple shipping notification comes after the release scan.

Thank you for sharing! Can't decide which one looks the best. hmm!

 

[stingazg]

Question
Should I check for local availability for the AWU tomorrow morning and cancel my preorder and not get the band I want or keep my preorder and wait til October?

You're welcome... It seems like there's so many band options all at the sudden. HAHAHA

I personally would not be able to wait HAHAHA You can always find the band you want later on.

True true, I just don’t know how long since I had it setup for payments on my Apple Card, would it take to return the hold to my Apple Card

I noticed this also. It’s usually at customs scan. I guess UPS/Apple have changed some things in logistics

 

[boxermansr]

Anyone with an import scan yet? It was around this time last week I got one for my Pro Max, so hopefully soon, then two more flights to get to me.
