Forgive me if this has been already discussed but how soon have the bands gone from PFS to shipped? My WSB was ordered on 4/27. My window is May 26th - June 1st.
Thanks all!
Thanks all!
My apple watch went from PFS to Shipped in about 4 hours but my sport band took about a day. Also it seams that Apple over nights our watches but sends extra bands 2nd day air.
My Leather Classic Buckle Band went to Preparing For Shipment and I was charged for it today. I now have every one of my bands either at home or on the way to me!
Has your WSB moved to PFS?
My UK 28 April 42mm WSB order is still 'Processing' with a delivery window:
27 May, 2015 - 01 Jun, 2015 by Postal Delivery
I'm hoping the late April band orders are starting to ship. I notice that the UK AppleStore is currently showing dispatches 1-2 weeks for 42mm WSB i.e. pretty much the same window as the order I placed 3 weeks ago!
Both of mine were within 24 hours. Ordered the 42mm WSB on 4/10 at 12:02am PST. The 38mm WSB was ordered on 4/17.
The 38mm shipped before the 42mm. The 38mm will arrive today and the 42mm will arrive on Wednesday.
So... at this point would it be fair to say that each country gets its own allotment of bands? Or is everyone still sharing from a "collective" pool?
Sure there's a small sample size bias (mostly Americans in this thread), but it seems as if the US is getting preferential treatment. Not that I'm saying you don't deserve to get your order.
It's just a little odd that everyone's shipping/delivery estimates are the same, but only American orders are shipping.
Again, I don't mean to step on anybody's toes. Just simply thinking aloud as to why American orders appear to be shipping faster than international ones.

My brown leather loop and black sport band (both 42mm) orders were charged yesterday afternoon and switched to "Preparing for Shipment." Both are still at that status and neither has shipped yet.
Is that normal? How long after being charged and switched to PFS do they usually ship?

My white band (thats replacing my originally ordered 42mm Blue sport) just got delivered!! And the black band that I ordered seperately on April 27th is shipped today and will be delivered Thursday! Now I can stop obsessing over the little things.... 
My card was charged like 2 hours ago for my 38mm WSB but it hasn't changed from processing yet. How long is the turnaround from being charged to PFS?
Looks like my CC was charged for the 42mm link bracelet a little bit ago, still processing. Ordered 4/25.

My 42mm link bracelet from 7am ET on 4/11 has shipped as of today, but my Milanese still says the end of June. Where are we timewise with 42mm Milanese orders?
