The Extra Band/Strap Processing/Shipping Thread

Yes. My UK bound link bracelet has moved to 'preparing for shipment'. I also have a pending transaction of £379 on my bank account.

However, I've noticed that the delivery window has moved back slightly. Was originally scheduled for delivery no later than 11th. This changed to 1st-14th May once it was updated to 'preparing for shipment'.

So I'm wondering whether it's going to be shipping direct from China.
 
I'm waiting for my milanese loop 42mm here in the UK. Still processing! Ordered at 8:08, and my delivery is due by 11th May.
 
I really need a sports strap but my black strap is still on 2-4 weeks. Any idea if any of the other colours will likely ship for end of the week?
 
Got a Black sports band ordered on the 10th with a delivery date of 1st-13th May.

UK order which is still processing items.
 
I picked up a second band today from CEX to go along with my 42mm stainless steel. Got a black sports band, it's nice, doesn't feel like cheap rubber at all but I can tell I'm only going to use it every now and then as it does feel less "premium" than my milanese loop (obviously given the price difference). As for CEX they charged £45 and the strap was on its own, just the top part and a 'M/L' band, no second band of a different size or anything and no case. It looks like they're taking the bands off of traded in watches and selling them separate from the face.

Think I'll get a black leather loop when Apple do start shipping them (hopefully next month)
 
I'll probably receive my third party band before my Apple Band:eek:

42mm Black Sport Band :apple:
Ordered 4/10/15 03:05 a.m. (PDT) Seattle
Delivers 4/29-5/12
Status = Processing

I sure hope it moves today into preparing for shipment and then to shipped so I can get it by the end of this week.

I went to Amazon and ordered another band with a clasp so that if my apple band doesn't come I'll have a temporary backup :D It shipped on Friday and tracking shows I'll get it tomorrow .. Go figure!

Any Link bands from the US moved to Preparing for Shipment? I ordered mine two days after launch so I know I have a bit of a wait, but I hope I hear some great news soon and they amp up that shipping!
 
Bright Blue Leather Loop just switched to preparing for shipment here in UK. 28 April-11 May timeframe. No movement on Black Sports Band ordered at same time. (Around 8:05am on 10th)
 
Black Leather Loop is now Preparing for Shipment in Germany. 04/28 to 05/12 timeframe...
 
Blue loop ordered on 4/10 right after the store opened is still processing. Unsurprisingly my green sport band ordered last week is also still processing. Both say shipping 2-4 weeks.

Still waiting on my milanese strap, ordered at 1300 on launch day. Great news that these are now moving!
 
Link bracelet charge (US customer)

Band movement! My xx:04:15 order of the 42mm link bracelet was just charged to my card. Expecting a conversion to Preparing For Shipment shortly.

I'm located in NC; my guess is shipment initiated overnight and delivery on Thursday if all goes well, Friday at the latest.

I was just charged for the link bracelet, and the Milanese loop OR leather loop, not sure which.

The link bracelet is now preparing to ship.

I'm in the US.
 
Just charged for my Link Bracelet and my Leather Loop! Only my Link Bracelet is preparing for shipment but I assume leather loop will ship soon since I was charged for it.
