OK, my link bracelet flipped to "Shipped" sometime overnight. It is shipping via UPS Worldwide Express Saver. According to UPS, for an import package, delivery will occur in 1-2 business days. If it gets picked up today, I should have it by Friday.
I'll post any further progress.
Meanwhile, my two black sports bands are still "Preparing for Shipment "...
Like some others, mine is now showing that it has departed Shenzhen, China and will be delivered on Friday.
