Has any one in the UK had their Apple Watch go to "preparing for shipment" yet?

Specifically for the 42mm space grey sport watch?

Yes, yesterday.

Ordered SG 42mm Sport, received confirmation at 08:05:50, so order probably went through close to 08:05. Got a delivery slot of 12-26 May but desperate for launch day! Praying for it, its my birthday tomorrow so want it as close as possible to my birthday as it's my only birthday present!

Fingers Crossed!
 
Oh my goodness stop quoting these people. I could set up an account and say I work at Apple and give you the exact same answers but it wouldn't make it true.

Yes. If the Account does not have the blue checkmark, it is NOT from apple.

08:05:17 SG 42mm praying as well!
If we get lucky I think it will be tomorrow afternoon. Really can't see it happening now though. Would have needed all the 04 lot to have been sorted today.

Wishful thinking. I'm an 8.03 order and still says "processing" (although my card was debited yesterday)
 
I've checked by bank every hour and nothing, would the money have to come out today then to stand any chance?

My money came out yesterday at 3.52pm and my order is still "processing" - so not hopeful now of a fri delivery (ordered 8.03)
 
Alright, getting the watch on Friday is not happening for me. I'm gonna go Vegetarian if my watch arrives on Friday.

With no charges on CC, nor status changes on the watch.
 
This is slowly driving me insane. I've only done this with my iPhone 6 but by this time then, it was already waiting at a Carphone Warehouse store for me to pick up.

It's just the not knowing, if I knew it was definitely going to be June, I'd forget about it... but it's obviously going to be before then, and some people today with June deliveries seem like they might be getting theirs on Friday. :eek:

Sport 42mm with White Strap btw.
 
Pretty funny really, they are obviously coming in to Ireland (usually) on palettes where they are then assigned to an order and individually packaged and then sent via courier for the final journey.

This is how it always works unless they ship direct from china individually which costs more as the items can't be palliated as efficiently on a plane as they are individually boxed with everyones addresses/invoice.

They don't go via Ireland :rolleyes:
