Order Thread for UK (BST)

I reckon we will see preparing for movement today. At least we know we will get the watches before the Americans because of the time difference :)

Yep, running. Also did it last year. What a day. Bit of a marathon junkie.

Currently live in Dubai, so flying back specially. That's another reason it will be even more frustrating if the watch doesn't arrive on Friday, as I'll be flying back on Monday without it.

Wow, and I thought arranging to work from home on Friday was dedicated ;)

Edit: Oh the marathon, lol...

double confirm on Japan; no movement whatsoever and its already Tuesday 3PM.
I can understand OP's point of view.. this two weeks waiting time with POSSIBLY ADDITIONAL TWO WEEKS is absurd.

I'm sorry but with this ridiculous two week delivery date window, I would like a bit more certainty before Thursday.
Right now my card has not been charged and no holds placed on funds at all, there's no tangible evidence that I have purchased anything and again I just don't trust this two week delivery window, particularly after knowing too well apple's contempt for the UK (no apple pay for the entire first year of the iPhone 6, ahem!)

We might not even see charges until Thursday! The watches can ship next day from a UK warehouse. No-one here has any patience it seems...

Thursday? That is ridiculous and unacceptable.
I expect at the very least , less than 4 days before 'launch' for that two week window to be narrowed for better or worse. Surely Apple has its ish together by now and knows how many watches there are.. Then again, if many orders still haven't even been processed... *sigh*

I normally buy in store during an apple launch. This is my first experience preordering online, and I have hated it.

A little less of plying 'celebrities' with custom freebies and more tending to your actual customers would be nice Apple!

Unacceptable why? Those of us who have preordered in the past know that shipping status in the UK only changes 24-48 hours ahead of delivery. They can ship Thursday and you'll still receive it Friday - I do hope that's 'acceptable' for you.

Just relax, you'll live longer.

Why is it unacceptable?! You have an order showing on Apple's site. They don't charge people until they ship products. Apple only need to ship on Thursday in the UK for Friday deliveries. They have their 'is' together, what's the point in them giving you tracking when it's just sitting in a warehouse until closer to release date?!

Such madness and childish tantrums on this forum lately.

This is an insane stance, just calm down and chill out. They clearly have an finely tuned supply chain and have been making and delivering products in quantities beyond any other company. It'll arrive when it does...

If you are un happy with them you could get another smartwatch?

This is that thread....

EDIT: Oh they have been merged
 
Can I suggest an extra large bowl of Shreddies to get everyone through till Friday.

Enough of the foot tapping tantrums, it won't make your watch turn up any faster.
