Hello! Been following this thread for days, thanks for the laughs guys!

I've just been on to :apple: support chat to ask about upgrading my shipping method. Francis lives! And apparently he wasn't aware of his stardom.

I have a new plan. Instead of eternally resenting my wife because her watch will arrive days before mine, I'm just going to wear hers until mine arrives! Question, can I pull off a 38mm sports w/ green strap?!
 
Same boat except i got my confirmation email at 08:04. Its been stuck on preparing to dispatch since yesterday afternoon.

No tracking number or carrier yet

My 38 sg sports been preparing since lunchtime yesterday.Not dispatched yet.(North London) 08.03 order.

You spelt MacRumors wrong too! :(
 
Right then. Off to the Watford Apple Store to go and kick off at their staff!!!

This is ridiculous. Caused a fuss in 3 Apple stores so far and they keep kicking me out!!!

They need to address the fact that my watch is LATE!!!1!!!!!1

You bastards!!!!!!!!!

Where is my space grey Apple??? You will pay for this travesty!!!!!

Woohoo. Arranged to collect mine from the local UK Mail depot at 8am tomorrow morning.

Well done. Lucky you. I just called UK Mail and found out that my nearest depot is in Croydon, I live in Brixton, so I've decided to wait for the delivery van. I'm so excited. I hope I'm able to sleep tonight. Viva :apple:Watch!!!
 
Why does nobody post their locations?? I want to know where everybody is from when they post their watch updates, smh.
 
Could we collect from UK mail tonight?! Just an idea. Thoughts?

If you enter you delivery number and post code on their website it will give you options to pick up from the depot. However, it is most likely earliest is Monday before you can do this as I saw if this was possible with my delivery which is due on 24th and is currently at their depot.
 
Does anyone else with a tomorrow delivery just want to go to bed when they get home from work tonight to make the evening pass in a flash?

Genuinely going home to work out and tire myself out so i actually sleep rather and stay awake excited.

ITS CHRIIIIIISTMAS!

Or just give them a call and ask them to hold it for collection tomorrow. A few of us on here have done that.

Although if I'm honest, I fully expect to arrive there tomorrow morning and them having no clue what's happening or the parcel is already out for delivery.

Your audience with the Lord Francis of House Apple will not be a memory you will soon forget.
 
It started as delivery in May mind...looks like theyve sold a few.



Got a 38mm SS with Milanese Loop for myself, confirmed at 8:03, delivery 24th-8th. I sure as hell hope it's the former rather than the latter!



Apple Store is only upstairs from my work so I'm nipping up at 10:30 to test drive



Gotta say, the ordering process was quite painless for me. The website went up before the app so I had the watch and AppleCare ordered within seconds.


Did you need to type in your card verification number?
 
I don't believe any 42 SS BSB have moved, at all

They have. I ordered one of these and a 42mm Space Grey sport within seconds of each other. The SS BSB has shipped and I have a tracking number for delivery tomorrow. Sadly the Space Grey (which is for me!) is still on processing. I am holding out hope for that to change today but I'm probably deluding myself. #
 
So it looks like I'm out of luck for tomorrow:

  • EMail confirmation times 8.03:12 for Space Grey Sport.
  • Pending payment for £339 appeared on my Amex card on Tuesday.
  • Order changed to "Preparing for Despatch" Tuesday PM.
  • No "Email of Doom".
  • Still in Preparing for Despatch".
  • :(
 
Just a heads-up for those of us in Northern Ireland: UK Mail doesn't have a depot here for parcel delivery - their partner is a courier called Nightline. It means we won't get an estimated delivery window (in my experience) but it will be delivered tomorrow at some point. My iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6 both arrived on launch day delivered by these guys.

The bit about the partnership with UK Mail is at the bottom of this page, so look out for a green and white van!

Do something with my order please Apple for FS, even if you cancelled it, would be better than seeing the same Processing status I've had since ordering my 42" SS BSB..
Ordered within 3 minutes of opening pre-orders....
