Agreed. I can handle not getting it Friday, but just being ignored because we've technically got a two week window is proper out of order.

There is nothing technical about it, you ordered and were advised of the delivery period. The delivery dates will be updated as and when your item is processed and assigned. Now, quit whining!
 
This is pretty much all i have to say today :(

I'm Sad

could be worse

ordered 9.29am as was in a meeting at work. FUME!!!:mad:

SG sports black - Wonder if I will get before June???? anyone got a prediction ...
 
I need to go off and do something productive - no good refreshing hoping for some progress. Will try not to check back until 2pm
 
It feels like a random process.

I remember the preorder thread for the retina MBP in 2012, someone created a Google doc that was being updated constantly so we could spot trends.

The upshot was that there were booking windows (ie people who booked from 8-9), spec and customer location that were deciding who got theirs dispatched.

Also, if your bank flags the purchase with you this can hold things up until they accept the transaction. This happened to me a couple of times.

Not saying this is how the Watch launch has gone, just thought it might be useful
 
Just to mix it up a bit. White 42mm Sport. Confirmation at 8:02am. No pre-auth on card, currently processing. :(
 
Has anyone's account been charged today?

Fingers crossed we see charges similar to yesterday. I'm sure people started being charged around now.

White 42 Sport 8:08 confirmation.
Prepping for Dispatch
Charge auth removed from available balance.

Been at prep since around 9:30 this morning.
 
I am hopeful for some 4pm meltdowns!

Dont get me wrong im excited mines is coming I just feel a bit shady for hubby and everyone else still stuck at processing!
 
is it not possible that the initial stock is coming in on two planes landing at different parts of the country or is it all imported through one hub?

It clearly seems that Apples system updates once the stock is passed into delivery systems as appose to being actually released from manufacturing?
 
Does anyone know if, for previous pre-orders, Apple has offered any other delivery option other than Standard? The last pre-order I did via the Online Store was iPhone 5 and can't quite remember.

If they're using Syncreon like they have in the past, they have multiple locations that could be used. But it might just all go through Hinckley before being passed to carriers.

The unofficial guys @AppleSupport_UK say that if our orders are still processing after around 14:00 today then they won't meet Friday delivery.

Hope they're wrong on this one as most payments weren't taken until 16:00 yesterday.

Was black leather available for wave 1? I know blue wasn't - not sure about the others.

Yeah if I picked it at 8:01. I was torn between the 3 and plumped for Black sport but few days after ordered the band seperately as I loved it at the try on. Kicking myself now.
