LOL! Wow. Let me guess. Ordered from them to save the tax? And now you're complaining because they don't have the customer service level of apple and won't be shipping your item on release day but didn't tell you till now? Wow. Cheap and whiney not your typical apple fan combo.
Let me tell you about your “guesses” .... First off, I LIVE IN NYC, so I don’t get any tax savings. In fact, I pay the most tax out of everyone. Second, I live near their Superstore, so I often go there to spend ridiculous amounts of money on my photography gear, as I am a photographer. Thirdly, I shouldn’t have to call BH to find out what is going on with my order, when they charged my card the full $800 and marketed the Apple Watch preorders as having the same delivery date as Apple and other stores. When I preorder photog gear, I am not left waiting and wondering, so this WAS a bit of a marketing scheme, which is why I am “whining.” Needless to say, your “let me guess” intuition needs a little bit of work..... ♀️

I just checked my order and my online statement, they actually have not charged it yet. It's okay.
On B&H it only says:
Order Status: Backordered
Really? You’re one of the few fortunate ones, then! Now I want to see if anyone who ordered from BH gets their watch tomorrow. That should be a good laugh with my morning coffee!!

I'm looking at the order status now, it says this:
I don't see where it would say from B&H's side whether or not the card has been charged. I just double-checked my credit card transactions, and I double-checked that I didn't use a different card. I definitely have not been charged yet, and it's been several days so it would have showed up by now.
I have an email that says this:
"Paid With" (Visa), but I think it's just showing the payment
method, not that they were literally paid already.
I was charged literally 5 seconds after I punched in my cc info. I get notifications on my phone from my bank, so I always know when I’m being charged in real time. I was actually really surprised, because out of all the stores I ordered from (I made a few backup orders to try and secure my stuff arriving on time), and BH was the ONLY one who charged me straight away. I’m thinking it might have been a “hold,” like a pending charge? But my bank registered it as an actual cc charge, so I was responsible for the $800 either way. Anyway, I cancelled my order with them bc “backordered” means you won’t know when the date of shipping/arrival will be until the day it’s ready to go.

I ordered from B&H but I got the Nike 40mm so wasn't expecting to get mine until October anyway...not too worried about it. I haven't been charged yet either. I did notice they say if you pay with PayPal you get charged immediately, maybe the same for Apple pay?
Maybe that’s it, thenz I used Apple Pay at my checkout. Hmm.. At least you knew your AW would be delayed, BH made it seem like early preorders would ship/arrive on 9/21. They def’n knew that wouldn’t happen bc of the Jewish Holidays this week, and now there’s another one next week, so no one is gonna get their stuff on time. I was hoping they would have been more prepared to handle the orders through the holidays.

I used apple pay from iOS safari and was charged the full amount. Doesn't bother me, but can understand why it would others.
I would think that those who paid in full during the preorder would be in an even BETTER position to receive their orders by 9/21, because we’ve already paid so no chance of the cc being declined or problems with billing and shipping addresses, etc. No, now I’m def’n upset with BH, there’s no excuse for that.
