A question for those who used friends in Germany to forward it to The Netherlands. How long did it take between shipping by friend and it being delivered?

My watch was shipped to me 2 days ago. Since yesterday evening it is at the DHL sorting center in Collogne. Do you think I can expect it today? Does tracking work when the package crossed the border to the Netherlands?

Can't wait :)

Keep in mind that there's a huge strike going on in Germany. My package has been sitting there for 2 days until I finally got the update today that it has arrived in Luik (60 km from where I live).

Phew.
 
TNT sucks, obviously.

My watch (42 mm SGS, ordered June 3rd) arrived in Berlin June 16th.
June 15th: My friend receives a text message from TNT, saying they'll try to deliver June 16th.
June 17th: out for delivery, but my friend is not at home when it arrives. They call her, and agrees to come by next morning, as she'll be home the entire day (18th).
June 18: nothing
June 19: nothing

And now, in the log:

"Incorrect or missing phone number" – WTF? They've called my friend twice!

I'm going to give them a call tomorrow and use all the bad German words I know...

I don't think you can expect it today, but tomorrow I think it will arrive at your home! For a friend of mine it took 4 days including the weekend. His watch shipped from Collogne to the Maasvlakte and from their it was picked up by the driver and sent to his home.

So good luck waiting!
 
Ordered, 15/06 Still processing itiem, anyone have a progress ? I don't get it why apple get watches to apple store, and people are still waiting to theirs orders.

Thanks for the info! So tracking until delivery did work for your friend?

Mine is still sitting in the Collogne sorting centre.
 
Is there any chance to get my watch before the ETA of Jul 02 - Jul 09? I read that some people got their whatches shipped earlier than originally estimated. :D

Yeah! That worked. DHL only had a slight delay with his shipment, because when the app finally said to him te driver was on it's way the watch was already delivered... So it's possible your watch is on it's way! You'll have to be patient...
 
My order from June 4th was charged a week ago, June 15th, yet the order still shows processing. Est. delivery is supposed to be this week, but, well, I wonder if that's going to happen....

My AWS 42MM White Bracelet shipped within 24-hours after ordering but the AWS 42MM Space Grey is still processing... Both ordered Tuesday 16th of June. So it depends on your watch, which one did you order?

I ordered a AW SS 42mm with black sports band last thursday. Unfortunately one of the most popular models I think...
 
Checked the Apple Store Hompage this morning and saw that the 42 SS with black Sports Band was available for reservations in the Apple Store Frankfurt - immediatly registred for that service, canceled my online order and picked up my watch in frankfurt at 11:15 :)

The 6 AM refresh message you get by the online system is quite ********. Between 6 AM and 10 AM no 42 SS Watches were available for reservation - at 10:30, is was able to reserve one.
 
the phone number reservation is actually bigger ***** I live only 30km from the border and can't pick one up because I don't have a french phone number, and even more bigger bigger **** is that belgium is not in the first or second wave country list
