So when does everyone think the next batch will ship? What has been the usual cycle with previous iPhone launches?
Anyone in the northern suburbs receive one?? I had to race home from work just to sit here and ****ing wait all day because TNT won't give me a timeframe for delivery!! Apparently you are expected to actually wait around at home from 9-5 waiting for it. What the actual ****
And to top that off. If you happen to miss the delivery, you can't just pick it up from the post office the same day. You have to make an appointment for MONDAY!!!!
What an absolute joke.

I'm glad some people got their new toy.
However the people who have received the same watch as the one I ordered AFTER I did are really annoying me. Especially those living in the same city!
I know it's not your fault that Apple have messed this up but if you ordered and got a confirmation email after 5:10pm and are now holding a 42 mm space gray sport.....
I DONT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT!!!!!

I have a theory based on a couple of people who ordered the same watch as me.
I got mine (ordered 4:31pm ACST confirmed 4:33pm). - Received today.
My mate ordered at 4:31pm then had trouble with the payment and finally got his confirmation at 4:46pm - Received today
My other friend ordered at 4:37pm and received confirmation at 4:42pm. - Processing
All the same watch (42 Space Grey / BSB).
So your confirmation time is not indicative of where you are in the queue. If someone took longer to pay, they could very well have a confirmation later than yours, but have been ahead of you in the queue when putting it in their cart (at which point I think Apples systems reserve your spot.)
I agree with you. It seems that you're placed in a queue before you actually confirm the order. Did you all use the Apple Store app?
Those pictures worry me. What about the buffing cloth? Where is the buffing cloth???
No buffing cloth with the sport...

All 3 of us did. The web store wasn't up until 4:37pm
I'm not sure on that - I used the app, had mine in the baskets at 5:02pm, paid pretty much instantly as my card is saved in store, yet I'm still processing.
Confirmation email at 5:03pm
42mm sg bsb

No cloth with the SS Milanese either!
I know, just got mine, too. Not sure what to think of that. I'm a buffing cloth collector, I only got the watch to complete my collection...
On a brighter note, TNT will not require photo ID, anyone's signature will suffice (as I thought, but I've read some opinions to the contrary). So, your receptionist, parent, maybe even neighbour can sign for the package.

I got to agree - even when putting your hand down to dismiss it - works perfectly!
