The Extra Band/Strap Processing/Shipping Thread

[Kavier]

My sports band was ordered 04/24 with a ship date of May.

I just don't get it. No separate bands shipping. There are six different band models with color choices, equals 17 different bands and they are shipping NONE of them. Heck they are still not even taking orders on individual modern buckle bands.

What is the problem that they cannot produce sufficient quantities of any of them?!?!?!?!

It's honestly hard to make much sense of it, if the problem is the tactic engine they should have 3 million extra bands to sell!

It's particularly grating to wait for these when you consider how expensive they are!

I still cannot believe the bands aren't shipping yet. I ordered a black sport band for my watch and nothing. I guess they have until the 12th to get it to me. It just better be here by then.

At this point the "official" third party bands may ship sooner.

My sport band shipped

Just got a shipping notification for my black 42mm sport band. Went from processing to shipped in less than 8 hours... But, it says delivering by 21 May. Huh? Is it coming by seamail?

What was the original delivery window you were in?

What was the original delivery window you were in?

Ordered it 3 mins after launch on the 10th. Delivery estimate was 18 to 22 May. Was unchanged when I looked this morning, now its shipped. I got a tracking number but the courier's site has no tracking data, just a consignment number.

I am in Aus also.

Seems like a lot of Australia now since it's morning for you guys. Hopefully US later today. What bands did you guys all order?

Extra band finally shipped!

Ok, so my extra band (black sports band) just shipped. Yay! I love this Milanese band but I'm looking forward to having something more casual.

 

[DannyBres]

I have ordered a milanese loop!

I love my green band, but cannot wait to get something more formal!

Mine still says Processing Estimated shipment "May" which is pretty vague being that May has started already

Ordered Black Sports band on the 17th Apr and a 42mm classic leather on the 28th.

When did you order yours if I may ask?

 

[wizzywig27]

I've ordered the stone leather, I love my white sport band but can't wait for something more formal

 

[ianrip]

my Black Sports Band (only) order 21st April
it only mentions Dispatched May

 

[Sodner]

Well this is great news as we finally have some band orders shipping. Hopefully some in the U.S. will see some movement today!!!!!!!!

Come on Apple, ship those bands!!!!!!!!

I ordered a 42mm SS Milanese along with an extra band (black sports) on the 10th (17 minutes after the hour). I received the watch on the 24th, and the sport band just shipped today.

 

[zaneliu94]

Is it one day shipping still?

 

[fishkorp]

Great news. Hopefully the Apr 29-May 12 bands in the U.S. Start shipping. Both of mine have those dates.

 

[jjd]

Is it one day shipping still?

No. See my post above. Shipped today for a 21 May delivery... I have a feeling we received these shipping notices in error.

My Link Bracelet just changed to preparing for shipment! Ordered it on launch day at 9:10 so 10 minutes after launch in Germany. The original delivery date was April 28 till May 15.

Maybe the watches with link bracelet will start delivering this week too.

 

[mikeb147]

I ordered a 42mm link bracelet. Still processing. ETA May

 

[jonnyb]

Anyone with a leather loop preparing for shipment?
