My order has transitioned to "Preparing to Ship" overnight. Hopefully, I now don’t get stuck in limbo as @Rafterman has.
Got a tip for us?

Timeline: SBTi 45 mm sports loop (abyss blue) ordered 11/24/21.
11/25/21 (sometime in the night) - card gets charged, order goes preparing for shipment.
11/26/21 - Early morning, I check e-mail I get an e-mail from Fedex Delivery Manager that I have a shipment coming from Shanghai, CN (Just like UPS My Choice, I get notification that I have a package coming from AI). 2 hours later I get a shipping e-mail from Apple. Day 5 stuck in Memphis, TN LOL

I ordered the stock config right off of Apple's webpage, Titaniium black, with Tornado gray sport loop (don't care about the band).
Day 10 now.
Sorry for your clearance hell. But I order November 12th, for SBTi 45, wait two weeks to get a preparing to ship, and now 10 days in preparing to ship. Ypu order the same thing, and ship it out the door in a day or two of ordering.
I don't get the the F Apple is doing.
Well, that was fast. Order has been shipped with expected delivery on the 7th, so I guess they’ll meet the original estimate of Dec 1 - 7. Very excited.
Interesting. I ordered on November 7 and will be getting mine on December 7. I believe you ordered on the 12th didn’t you? And now you’re still waiting. Waiting as a bear sometimes isn’t it?
Correct, the 12th. It's possible I will receive it by the 8th, but I doubt it now.
I really don't think my Watch will get here on time. Ordered a silver stainless steel with milanese band on October 27. Delivery Window is December 1 to December 7. It's still on Processing so I doubt I'll get it tomorrow.
Oof. Have you called apple? Do you see anything that’s shows a pending charge on your account? Do you have an apple store near by that they may actually have it in stock?
In my case, Day 12. I have a tax and shipping charge, but that's it. I have a local store, but I ordered Titanium, which isn't carried in my store. Dec 1-8 (express shipping) which means if it doesn't ship tonight/tomorrow early morning, I won't make date either.
I chatted with Apple, and they claim everything is on schedule. But I have my doubts.
Mine's still in clearance at Memphis, TN. Last update was 12/4/21 since it was likely the weekend. I hope it moves along tonight in hopes for tomorrow delivery.
Still in clearance? Damn. Usually, clearance should only take an hour or two, based on past expereince.
I know right? If it was UPS, I would have probably gotten it by now. Damn Fedex.
Seen no movement. Stuck in Shanghai.

Yeah. Mine was originally stated as today, even though Apple’s always said by Dec 14th.
It did have this update since I posted. When I had my M1 MacBook Pro from China, it only showed this broker step once it was in my city, so maybe it’s really already here and just the updates are wonky. 🤷♂️

my says it departed Shanghai 12-8-21 @1:39 which is progress....but not "today progress"
Well maybe Apple knew something that UPS didn't. My "Shipped" email from Apple said it would be delivered on Dec 13
Same. Mine said it left at 1:39, but now that time updated to 2:50 for some reason. 🤷♂️my says it departed Shanghai 12-8-21 @1:39 which is progress....but not "today progress"

I assume we’re on the same flights!
