Order Thread for UK (BST)

Dover street?

What's new from the front lines i.e. Dover Street Market? Anyone on this forum have any luck there today?

I have an appointment tomorrow. Will keep everyone in the loop...

 

[sheldomacrumors]

I just want a god dam time frame for my June order ####

 

[TTFN]

Not a bad idea. It would certainly explain why there has been next to no movement in the UK whilst the US orders have been shipping all weekend.

Possibly, but folk over here ordering just chargers have had them delivered.

 

[Slim Boy Fat]

All quiet in the U.K meanwhile in the good of' US of A

The lack of any movement over here really sticks in the throat when you see stuff like that.

That's the info I didn't have, now I have no idea :/

surprised Daily Mail has not picked up on this Yet. They could really generate some outrage in their readers. They always have a flea in their bonnet about Apple and how they rip off the UK. They would have a field day with this:

1. UK buyers unable to get watches as Americans being prioritized
2. Benefit cheats buy apple watches to sell in China, hurting UK consumers
3. Apple only sells it watch in a posh Boutique in Mayfair and not in places Joe Normal atternds

It could go on and on.

Maybe UKIP could get in on the act as well?

But the chargers do NOT include the plug (my charger came today). So maybe it is the plug!

If Nigel Farage buys an apple watch, they will instantly drop in value to pennies.

Ill bin mine.

Sorry, but I used to work in newspapers and this kind of thing would not make a good story.

The real story is our childish fury when we know it will arrive before 8 may. Unless they deliver after 8 May, then it's a story. 50 words tops...

Sorry, just being realistic here. I'm also excited and pissed off.

Then they can just send me one without the bloody plug. Ive got hundreds of them lying around from every iPhone I've recycled.

Lucky you. I'm in the afternoon. Let me know how you get on, please. I mm hoping for any kind of sport watch but pink.

But that would be the truth, and since when did papers like the Daily Mail report on the truth? They like to twist and manipulate the truth in to what they think will sell papers! That's how (most) newspapers work!

 

[Slim Boy Fat]

Looks like 42mm SG w/BSB are moving in the US, most people were showing a 12/5 - 27/5 shipping window on them but they are now preparing to ship. More proof that we have been royally shafted.

Must be the fault of ISIS somehow

As we were talking about Apple pay I thought this might be useful. I asked the question and got this reply within a few minutes. Its from the Barclays Mobile cheque deposits Facebook page.

Slightly off topic from me again sorry.
Any idea on Apple pay? Apple state they are waiting for the banks. We have the infrastructure in the UK, chip and pin/ contactless etc.

Hi, We haven't had any concrete answer on Apple Pay unforunately. The last I heard when I enquired was that we were waiting for Apple to provide us with information as to how the functionality works with their systems. I know for a fact that we'd need to see a development kit beforehand, so we could run compliance tests to make sure a) it works with our own infrastructure and b) that we can be sure our customer's data is secured sufficiently. I'm not aware if we've even received these kits from Apple yet.

On a completely separate note, I do know that there was some arguing between unnamed banks in the UK around the percentage fee that Apple takes as part of the service. Whether this has any bearing I do not know. Ant

So we will either see some movement, or apple are bulk fulfilling orders in the states and then we will get ours in the next batch, ahead of their 08/05 deadline #
