Order Thread for UK (BST)

ThursdayNext said:
Hi Guys

I have been following this forum with bated breath over the last few days :)

I ordered very late on the 10th April at 4.10pm (ish) in store, as I wanted to have a try on appointment to choose between the 38mm and the 42mm. I have a 12th - 26th May delivery date. I booked my try on appointment as the app store opened at 8.01am - I soooo wish I had just ordered instead :eek:

Anyway my worries are:

1) I ordered on-line whilst in the Apple store but I didn't receive a confirmation email :-( I went and spoke to the rep that took my order an hour or so later as I was still in the shopping centre, but was told my email would arrive soon. He checked my account and confirmed it was in the system.

Well the confirmation email didn't ever arrive (didn't go to junk folder either) but I have an order number in my Apple account and in my App store account and it shows that my order is supposedly processing - so I guess this is ok???? I'm just worried that there is some muck up somewhere?

2) I have not had any pre-authorisation £1.00 come out of my account. Is this because I have already ordered with Apple using the debit card on my Apple account? Or is this more evidence that there might be an issue?

Not that I am obsessing or anything :D

If anyone can shed any light (or give lots and lots of reassurance :D) that would be fab.

Thanks

Thursday

Don't worry about email address. It's not used for anything substantial (I don't think?) other than notifying you when your order changes.

As for the £1, I didn't get that charge either and was also worried but I still got charged the full amount today. Again, don't worry about it too much.

EDIT: Just realised I was replying to something several pages back... woopsie.

Really crossing my fingers for a Friday delivery now

Mine too. I ordered the SS White SB 42m at 8.07 on 10.4. Funds were taken from my HSBC debit account yesterday at 4pm. I woke up this morning and was delighted to discover 'preparing for dispatch' via the AppStore app.

I've had a big smug grin on my face all day because I feel confident, after reading this thread, that my Apple watch will arrive on Friday and be the most expensive thing I've ever bought and put on my wrist.

Worth every penny!!!

Most expensive thing on your wrist? Never bought a real, mechanical watch?
 
My 42mm space grey is preparing for dispatch as of this morning. The payment still hasn't fully been taken but I'm hoping it'll be ok. From reading other threads I'm feeling like one of the lucky ones with a space grey sport!

Well it's all been big changes on the Apple front since I posted early evening - I think I must have jinxed myself in a good way ;-)

I was putting my small people to bed at 8.30pm and checked my Barclays account (as I have been every hour since yesterday :D) to find £479 has disappeared from my account. There have been no changes to my order status in the Apple App or on the normal on-line account :( but I have finally had my email from Apple (about one hour after money left my current account) to say that my order is being processed.

Waiting with baited breath.....

As one of the lucky ones, would you do us the favour of livestreaming everything you do with the watch until the rest of us get ours?

We can pay you with pork salad?
 
Anyone just get an email from Apple?

Seemed generic just saying I'd get my watch between April 24th to May 8th.

To make sure my iPhone was on 8.2 or higher, and to watch the guided tours.
 
I'm guessing everyone just got the email from Apple saying:

"Your Apple Watch will be delivered between April 24th and May 8th. When your order ships, we'll send you an email with a specific delivery date and tracking information."?

My 8:06 SS BSB is still stuck on processing :(.
 
Just had an email from Apple with the subject "Your Apple Watch Order".

Got excited and then realised its Just a bunch of waffle...

"Dear Phil,

Still not charged. Still no status change.

Just got an email

I ordered 1 Sport SG and 1 SS Milanese. The Milanese is preparing for dispatch, just got this email referring to the SG order number in the subject line (which is still processing)

I guess this means preparing for dispatch means Friday delivery hence the timeframe reminder only for the one thats still processing!
