Stocks look like they are extremely limited now.
I also heard you have to go to the store to check the inventory. Some reason Apple store Pick up options is not reflecting what the store inventory is carrying. Typical departmental store problems. I wasn’t expecting that with Apple.
 
What’s the 3rd party website where one used to be able to go to see what phones and watches were available in which stores? I think someone posted the website here but I can’t find it now.
 
Arrival scan just showed up. Most likely it’ll be taking off to Japan. Hopefully we get a departure scan soon and it doesn’t just sit there. I have a feeling tomorrow we should be able to see it.

Yes we currently are in same group and the scans slowly populate. Compared with my iPhone scans and the clearance agency (Chinese customs was long before leaving facility and arriving at airport and in some kind of possession by UPS. I think as you said earlier they had already cleared customs just not showing but they are now likely at airport in Shanghai. Yes flights from here seem to do route via Japan.

Any idea if any departing flights to Japan are showing up? Im still not sure if Apple is using UPS planes for international shipment.

i Think order might be wrong on the scans, mine show up like yours just takes a bit longer to populate but identical times.
 
Apple (and other retailers) will always keep stock aside for launch day walk-in sales. It’s just what happens. They wouldn’t let all stock be used for pre-orders.

Of course they will keep stock aside for walk-in sales. It just seems like for this launch they went a bit too far to that side. But maybe they didn’t. My post was more just a little rant because I had nothing better to do.
 
Graphite SS and milanese !! Matched with my 🚘

The original estimate I had when I ordered was Oct 21 so if I don’t get it by next Friday I’d definitely hit them up.
But hopefully I would’ve gotten one from Hermès direct before then.
Did you get any further update on your DHL tracking? My Hermes was picked up on Friday and coming to Melbourne but no scans since then.

I very much understand that global freight space is tight for carriers but would like to see some movement soon!
