Still processing Link Bracelet, and the delivery window begins on Friday.
Is there still a chance for this week, or do the PFS/Shipped party balloons need to be put away?
In Canada, btw.

I ordered a black leather loop, went to prepared for shipment yesterday, to shipping with tracking number, yesterday but no delivery date. (Still in Burlington Ontario). Hopefully I get it tomorrow or at the latest Friday).
On Apple's order status page my order says shipping May 25th to June 1st.

When was your order date?
----------------------------------------------
This is why Apple (Canada?) confuses me. Yours says it's should deliver starting May 25, so it's reasonable that it was shipped yesterday.
Mine says it should be delivered starting Friday, but it's still processing. If there was really no way in hell it would be delivering Friday, why estimate it?
So many head-scratching possibilities, but I don't want to go into too much of a rant.
It's a shame there aren't more Canadians on this thread. I'd love to hear if anyone else is in the same position.
Ordered May 8th - 42mm Link Bracelet (band only)
I ordered mine on April 26th.
Mine is sitting in Burlington waiting for UPS to pick it up and hopefully I get it before this weekend!

Yeah... well I thought as much. April 26 was a good while before mine, even though they're not the same band. Hopefully yours comes soon!
Looks like this week will be a lost cause after all. The balloons will be stored till next week.

And don't forget Friday is a U.S. holiday. So probably no UPS from the U.S Friday.
Strange. I still see "Processing Items" for these bands, nearly 24 hours after being charged for them.
Oops.
Mine has been received into UPS, cleared customs but still no delivery date.
Wow... this launch is really weird. Even the bands need to clear customs first? Since we're ordering from Apple Canada, passing through customs shouldn't be happening.
I don't remember a launch with this much red tape, ever.
So a week and 1/2 ago I placed an order for Blue and White 38mm sport bands for my wife watch, and also a Black Leather Loop for my watch.
The Blue band charged and shipped yesterday.
Still no movement on the White or Leather.
Anyone know when the latest Leather Loops have been ordered that have shipped? I have a feeling the wait is going to be a while, although the delivery window is June 2-8.

At least they took your money! I could only dream of them charging me for mine!

On a side note: let's say Apple was having difficulty charging your card. Would they notify you of this?
Apple Canada closed their warehouse in Markham, hence everything ships from the U.S. now.
Yes, you will get an email from Apple telling you they had a problem. Mine was declined by Citibank for fraud on the watch. Received an email from Apple to update my payment method or fix the issue. Corrected it with Citibank and called Apple. Basically resulted in a 24 hr delay but didn't lose my place in line or anything.
Oh... that makes sense now.
Well $#!t, my wait just got that much longer.
----------
Thanks for the info. I haven't received any such email yet, and I don't expect to. Just wanted to make sure if the delay on mine might have been cause by something other than stock.

WOW UPDATE!!!
Just got charged for my Link Bracelet and Blue Leather Loop!
Ordered on May 8th.
Never will I question Apple's ability to meet estimates again!
Both the LB & LL are now PFS!

Ok Wow....I went and ordered the medium stone leather loop after I received my large one on Tuesday. It has already been charge and preparing for shipment, in less than 48 hours.
Not bad...
