AT&T - Apple Watch Series 4 Preorders

friedmud said:
Does anyone know if it's possible to buy an Apple Watch at an Apple Store but finance it through AT&T like you can with an iPhone? That's the only reason I'm buying through AT&T is because I like the 0% interest loan (why use my money now when I don't have to?). But now I'm starting to think that it's not worth it and I should just buy it myself so I don't have to wait another month....

No you cannot. It’s also the reason I bought through AT&T.

Somewhat makes sense. There is a cost to 0% financing to the carrier. For them the retail margin on the product would easily cover that. But if you buy from AT&T they get no retail margin, only the $10 a month service fee. Probably less interesting to them to finance for that.
 
Called office of president. Spoke to a really nice woman. She said that because these watches are old and obsolete they wouldn’t be getting any new ones in. I said uh that they just came out. She said well if they don’t fulfill the order within 30 days from back order day it is canceled.

I called them also. Rude and no information. Only made excuses. Told me that I shouldn’t have expected it between Oct 1 and Oct 8. That those dates were just estimates and don’t really mean anything. No idea when we are getting them. Most likely Nov if their new estimate of shipping on Oct 28th is to be believed. Very disappointed that they keep blaming Apple and take no responsibility.

There's another thread on here that talks about "massive stainless steel unavailability." The folks on there a large portion who ordered from apple.com has shipping dates that align closely with ours. I think 10/28 - 11/12.

It seems like Apple does have them available in certain stores and they get more each day. I suspect that AT&T isn’t fulfilling orders for anyone on the 0% interest deal. You can find the SS in some Apple stores. None in AT&T though. So if you want to pay full price and lose the $60 credit then you can get one sooner. I doubt any of us will see our orders fulfilled before Nov.

Because AT&T is messed up. Apple has both the gold SS and the regular SS available in stores from time to time but none come our way. New orders seem to get fufilled before some old orders. Not sure what going on but I don’t even have a delivery date anymore on mine. Just says in progress just like it has since day 1. Very frustrating that they don’t provide any information or timely updates.

I feel like canceling my order & reordering it so I get the new ship dates but then I’m afraid it will change & then my ship dates be even further away damn
 
I just ordered the 44mm SS yesterday with a ship date of 10/11-10/15. I work for AT&T and the SS has been unavailable to order since launch...until now. I’m hoping it actually ships in the allotted time frame.

I just saw this as well and now I’m concerned with why new orders have an estimated delivery well before mine which was ordered weeks ago.

I hope this means that mine is going to be pushed up, because it currently shows delivery between Oct 30 - Nov 6.

Yea I agree it’s ******** that our orders been put in & people are coming behind us just placing orders & getting earlier dates :mad:

Yes this may be true. But SS is still unavailable on the site.

It seems that some AT&T employees are able to buy it via the Premiere portal. Not sure how this affects our orders, but I’m pissed that I don’t even have a delivery date and I bought it on launch at 3:22am. I suspect it could also be that the 0% financing customers are all being made to wait. No honest answers from AT&T. They are horrible.

Mine changed from in progress to preparing to ship.

I ordered a 44 SS black on Sept. 26. Estimated delivery was Nov. 1-8.

I cancelled that two days ago and reordered the same watch. Estimated delivery is Oct. 22-28.

Guess we’ll wait and see.
