Awesome! Glad everything got in so quick!

I am super jealous of the mellow yellow! It’s the ONLY yellow I am missing at this point. Playing the waiting game now....
I have 2 x Mellow Yellow 44mm unopened (Apple NZ still has them in stock).
My Coastal is very difficult to slide in, so, I ordered another. Hope the new one is good, or both will be returned. I say the new factory is a big fail.
I just thought, have any of you guys who have had dodgy band checked the box to see where they were made? My new ones are find and they still say “made in China”. Do yours say “made in Vietnam”?

How much are you looking for me of those Mellows?

Also, my newest bands (Pride bands) both say they’re made in China.

Online searching for bands can be frustrating... I found a few I was interested in, both stores in Canada and no shipping to US.... Argh!!!!!! One of them doesn’t ship to Quebec, I know I must be missing some knowledge of Canada commerce on that one.... oh well, time to continue the hunt/chase.......

I bought them with a view to perhaps making some profit in the future, but in the spirit of this community I'd need to cover costs. I don't know how many more Apple would let me buy - I bought one for myself, then I bought 2 more and they were OK. Maybe they won't care as it's clearly old stock and it's hard to find on their website, but back when the S0 came out I had orders for one of each colour cancelled by Apple on the grounds they thought I was bulk buying or some such, and I had to buy them individually.

Shipping NZ to US is not hard, but it is a cost, and they work out around US$57 each as they are NZ$89 retail.

IF we do this it would be easier maybe to take the approach of the way @iChernov did it from Germany.
all apple watch bands should say assembled in china, not made in china.
It says "made in China" on the box.

Yeah, it says made in china on the back of the box. Also, FenC, I may take you up on that.

Nice! I’ve been looking at this yellow thinking, I hope it doesn’t ever discolor! (like I’ve seen white do) I wouldn’t mind having a backup if I saw another.

Apple NZ has most colours back to the Pine / Alaskan era - Lemon Cream, Beryl, Desert Sand, Royal Pulse etc. (but not Pomegranate) as well as the Mellow Yellow anomaly listed under "Recommended Accessories' only. apple.com/nz will let you see what they have.

If there is any interest real then I'd be prepared to order on behalf and ship, not to make money, just to cover my outlay for some good karma. I can receive funds through PayPal, the caveat being I have had orders cancelled in the early days of the Watch when I tried to order one of each colour. I think / hope it's a bit more reasonable now, but there is always the risk an order would get knocked back. Obviously I'd refund if that happened.

I wasn't close to how @iChernov and @toxtrepla handled their shipping arrangement / spreading the cost of shipping among the participants, but if someone is willing to receive all of them on the US end then I can take orders for a few days by DM and place one order with Apple NZ. I'm not against sending to other countries, but I don't want to end up mailing eleventy-seven separate packages, so one shipment per country to a hub recipient.

Lastly @mikedop has called dibs on one of the Mellow Yellows I have, and I'm holding back the other until someone else confirms if they want it, so everything has to be ordered from Apple.

PMed you about all of the above.

Now that the last bulk order is behind us, I’m more than able to help out again should there be enough demand. Also assuming we can, I’m interested in the other Mellow Yellow.

Black/White went pretty quick. Wish I could find a box for mine!

Also, already claimed the olive flak 👀

All good, and just replied.

So, both Mellow Yellows are taken (is that right @mikedop ?), and I have one expression of interest for another band by DM. If anyone else wants a colour from Fall 2019 onward other than Pomegranate the DM me.

I'll give it a few days to see how many bands we might be looking to ship then get a shipping estimate and let everyone who is keen know what the cost looks like, and from there we can get an order together.

I’m not sure- don’t reserve it for me, if someone else wants it they can take it. I’m on the fence with that color haha!

I was curious to see if that was a scam or not, so I noticed the other day when you click on that listing it was deleted (vs being marked as Sold). I assume it was a mislisting or Scam of some sort.
Are you talking about Anne Pyne? The one with the profile picture that looked like a stock photo? She split up the listings and jacked the price. I bought one (product red) and it is genuine AF. Not a scam as it turns out.

Ahhhh good to know. You know I saw those but didn’t put two and two together. Guess the first listing was just an error then.

$50. Papaya for $50 as well.
Safe to say it’s well been sold I assume? Not a bad price at all.

Two orders from Chargerstore already in my state. One cleared customs, the other is in sorting. Pretty excited for them!

Charger has been doing work for me too. Got my SBSS link bracelet on the way along with a bright blue leather loop I picked up at auction for $32.50, a lightly used ultra violet, and an obsidian/black.
 
Hi guys, I found a deal for the classic Nike Black/Volt sport Band and I was thinking about it, only thing holding me back for now it's that I have a silver AW and I don't know how would it look with a black band. What do you think?
Do you have any pic of this band with or without a silver watch?
