You have to confirm, he's ok folks, he's ok!

Unless of course he confirmed, then send a medic!

No medic required - order had shipped already so I just got the "tough luck we've already charged you" message.

I always scoffed at the people who worried about passing cancel. Egg. Face.
 
My girlfriend ordered a 38mm SS Watch with WSB which was delivered last Friday. Looking at the production info her watch was manufactured in Week 14 (April) in Factory HH (wherever that is).

My 42mm SS Watch with BSB is due for delivery tomorrow and was manufactured in Week 16 (also April) in the same factory.

Think Apple is shipping these things out just as soon as they can make 'em.
 
Perhaps they will dispatch:

Later tonight
or
Tomorrow

or the the charge will drop off...

I just want to manage your expectations.

My card was charged last Tuesday 21st at 3pm for £339. I was all set for a release day delivery. NOTHING CHANGED until this afternoon.

This afternoon, the authorisation apple put on my card for £339 dropped off unclaimed, so my available balance came back.

At 4pm, switched to 'preparing for dispatch' and sure enough, I've just had a dispatch notification.

I ordered the Space Grey 42mm Black Sport band at 8:03am 10/04.

Delivery says UPS (everyone else is UKMAIL?), but the Apple site says expect it tomorrow. :D

But - just remember that because you've had an auth/charge on your card, doesn't mean it's going to move. Mine took another week!

Oh and I've not been charged yet - no further auth.

Fair enough. I appreciate the information. It's being in the dark that's frustrating!

Potentially but I have a 3-4 weeks dispatch otherwise. Seems odd to have the money 'taken' so far in advance.
 
False alarm...

...The UK mail tracking number says it's on it's way for a delivery tomorrow some time.

Fingers crossed.

Sorry for the massive meltdown, freak out!

Guess I won't need to go to Dover Street after all?
