Order Thread for UK (BST)

Pinksteady said:
Just got the email of death. "We are working on your order" and a reminder that it "will ship between 24th April and 8th May".

Only received it for my 42mm SGS which is still processing, not my 38mm green sports which is preparing for dispatch.

A few other threads dissecting the meaning of this, but to me it's a pretty obvious ass-covering reminder that the 24th is unlikely.

Same here at 22:41 last night for my 42 SG BB, 8.04 10/04.

Not sure why they sent it, but I don't think it's a good sign.

Still processing, no payment taken at midday on Wed 22/4.

Fingers crossed for movement tomorrow. #
 
I've been reading this thread with interest and humour over the last few days, decided to join in as I've a conspiracy theory...

I have a 38 SG sport and 42 White sport with 0803 and 0820 confirmation times respectively. Both are still processing, no charges and email of death received last night, so doubtful I'll be getting tomorrow.

However, I have checked lots of the UK stores and all have  watch workshops on Friday onwards except for my local store - Aberdeen, which has nothing. The devil in me now reckons that Apple never had any intention to send watches north of the Firth of Forth!?

To those who get a delivery tomorrow - Enjoy!

Order Thread for UK (BST)

I am outside the Apple Store now. As soon as they open heads will be rolling! They won't know what's hit them when they unlock those doors.

Going to go ballistic at them for their idiocy in this.

Absolutely outraged and they will soon know they have messed with the wrong buyer!!!!1

How dare Apple do this?!?!?!

And that email just rubs salt in the wound. They will quake in their boots when I send an email!!!!!!
 
Morning everyone,

Just thought I'd summarise my orders for others' reference:

Order #1 - 08:08 - Preparing for Shipment
Apple Watch Stainless Steel 42mm with White Sport Band

Order #2 - 08:35 - Preparing for Shipment
Apple Watch Sport 38mm with White Sport Band

Both have been 'Preparing for Shipment' for a couple of days now and the money is pending on my credit card.

I think if you're in this kind of situation above it would seem pretty likely that Friday is delivery day. I've not had any 'email of death'.

Good morning. The frustrations of all of us at 'processing' are with you. Will keep an eye on the news for you.

Just had an email saying my watch will be delivered between 24/4 - 5/8 which I knew but it went on to say another email with tracking and date will be sent out when it's sent. Any one got that date and tracking email yet?

You're still at processing?
 
PRAISE BE TO FRANCIS! My order finally went to preparing for dispatch!

Just when I had given up hope, Francis pulled through for me. I am a believer! Can I get an AMEN?!?

Good morning guys, great thread, fingers crossed we start getting our shipping notices/tracking numbers today !

Good morning everyone!! Woke up to check everything and still no progress. No email though so I'm hoping to see "dispatched" in a few hours.

I don't know what's more exciting, the idea of confirmation that I'll get my watch tomorrow. Or just seeing it go crazy in this thread.

Happy Apple watch eve guys!!!

For everyone else, happy Thursday!

Someone should write a script for a movie of this thread... its got everything; love, hate, fear, loathing, crashing disappointment, small victories, conspiracy theories, pseudo religious overtones and gratuitous references to a mythical spicy pork salad.

Hysterical from end to end.
 
Today this thread will peak in its entertainment value.... Maybe an award??

Why on earth would you be outside an AS at stupid o'clock waiting for 4 hours to go in and make a prat of yourself in front of people who have precisely the same amount of power over this thing as you do?

But hey, report back. It'll pass the time for the rest of us. I can't wait to see what you're going to do!
 
No change for me overnight. Really thought I'd be in the first wave for delivery as I got my order in early. Getting bored of seeing processing...

The Americans have started getting delivery texts. Obviously doesn't mean anything cause they are bigger, but doesn't make me any less jealous. Haha

Good morning lads.

Have the morning clear, so going to see the Avengers before all the kids finish school and pack cinemas. Should keep my mind off this for a couple of hours :p
