Hi you are from the netherlands? How come there is no update from the applestore app. It says preparing to ship. Is this normal? My delivery date is still 21/9.
Thanks in advance.

Yes. I am from The Netherlands.

The status of the case was ‘Shipped’ yesterday and ‘Delivered’ now.

As for the iPhone XS Max 256GB, it still says ‘Prepare for Shipping’ here too. There is a reason for that. In contrary to the United States, we will not receive any info before tomorrow evening, or maybe even Thursday evening. Our phones are already at Syncreon in Waalwijk and do not come straight from China.

I had the same last year. All is fine. Don’t worry.

Is this possibly also the case for the Apple Watches Series 4?
This is my first time ever pre-ordering anything from Apple in Holland.

Also do you happen to know what courier they will use for delivery?

Thanks!!

Yes. This might also be the case for the Apple Watch. All kind of products are stored at the warehouse from Syncreon. So don’t worry. It is quite seldom for any equipment to come from China to Europe. Equipment is mostly stored in Waalwijk, Prague or Milan.

As for the courier: this might depend on your location, but it’s not for sure. Apple uses DHL and UPS in The Netherlands.

My iPhone 7 Plus has been replaced four times with the UPS courier. But the iPhone X was delivered by DHL. It took till the very end of day. I have better experiences with UPS. They delivered my MacBook Pro on release day just around 14:00.

Yes i was reffering to the iPhones. Wasnt clear about that.
Ok thank you for the answer.
First time that i preorder an iPhone.
 
Ordered a silicone case in "lavender gray" today for my silver Max. Confirmation email sent at 1:02pm and shipping email at 4:36pm. Delivery scheduled for tomorrow with UPS, departing from Milan. As to the iPhone, still stuck in "preparing for shipment".

Good to know. My iPhone 8 came through UPS last year and my case today through DHL.

Let's see which it will be Friday. Overall I've always been satisfied with both.

Good luck to all of you waiting. I know the next 2 days will be long.
 
Do you have any idea why the option to pick up from the store is not available around the world (Except for the United States) for nearly four days?
From your past experience, do you think Apple Store will open this option before this Friday?
 
To everyone in EU that will receive this beaut' soon , do enjoy it ! In Romania it will will ship around 20 October after pre-ordering which is a long wait but it's gonna be worth it 🙂

My creditcard has no reservations anymore. The reservations are now payments. Apple took the money.

I hope they’ll deliver with UPS. Last year it was DHL and they waited till 6PM to deliver it. That kinda sucks.

Hmmm my bank is still says reserve. Has your payment for your iphone be charged or they only processed the case?

The money for the Apple Case still is reserved (though the case is delivered already).

The money for the iPhone XS Max is gone 🙂 It is not reserved anymore. It is fully paid on my creditcard.

The Store opened at 9:03 and immediately at that moment I have ordered one. Maybe that’s why.

Though, it doesn’t matter for delivery. I live in a ‘farmers village’ and have a cow in my front yard (not really), so I will have to wait probably longer than you will. 🙂

Im also not too far from you maybe 9.04 and i live 10mins from the Apple store. Nothing is adding up for me!
 
Guys, sorry for the OT question but, can you buy apple care+ at an apple store? Cause I'm going there to check out the new cases color anyway.
 
My watch still isn't Preparing for Dispatch. 🙁 I wonder when that'll happen.

(PS I know that this is the EU iPhone Pre-Order thread, but there's simply no EU watch thread so I gotta "complain" about it here 😛 )
 
Germany

I think your iPhone will ship tonight, as you need a bit more time to get it there from Waalwijk.

Customers in The Netherlands, Czech and Italy should wait till tomorrow evening before it is shipped.
