Order Thread for UK (BST)

JCP1 said:
WTF? Surely they're honoring those with appointments today and tomorrow etc?

What's clear is that Apple's attempt to position the watch as a high-end product line and only sell in 6 boutique locations has back-fired. I guess they couldn't back out of their agreement with DSM even after they knew they'd have stock issues.

Someone clearly has to take the can for this?

TBH I have heard so many rules for it, i thought purchase was appointment only, whats with the queues?

I did hear them saying they will be honouring appointments

Thanks for the tip but UK Mail are not represented on the app :(

yes they are! I'm using them right now. First you've got a list of preferred carriers and then if you scroll down under the Others section you'll find UK Mail.

Anyway it seems that UKM's system has really picked up, I now have a delivery interval of 1 hour and I'm also subscribed to You're Next service.
 
My 9.52 to 10.52 has just been delivered to my folks - they're always in so I get all my parcels sent there so I can collect them on my way home rather than miss them if they go to mine
 
Can someone have a word with Francis for us 2nd wave please. I could do with it before Saturday as I'm running a half marathon, it's easier than looking at my iPhone all the time Touch ID is very picky with sweaty fingers #

does anybody else's moved from processing in the last few hours?

I think the consensus has been that movement happens mid-afternoon... Last week and yesterday it started between 3 & 4pm and then lasted a few hours.

I'm assuming it's our friends in Ireland that are processing things for the UK.
 
On another note, I'm trying to get an extra green band. Does anyone know if they have those in stock at DSM, or is it just watches? I assume Apple Stores are definitely a no-go, so not taking into account.

As well, if any of you want to sell theirs, we may have a mutually beneficial deal :)

The forum won't let me some error. I was wearing the wifes 38mm Stainless steel black.

So happy I have the bigger watch. Looks much better on me. Also the taptic feedback is noticeably better.

I ordered a green band on 10/4, says delivery 30/4 to 13/5. Dread to think what it'd be now!
 
Just called UK mail to try and get a time. Out for delivery since 8am and the man on the phone said that the sender has used an 'all day time slot' so can't give me a time. This is for delivery in Woking
 
Anyone have ordered (and received) a 42 blue or green sport watch?
I want to understand where they are with order (the date/hour).

Thanks!

Hi all just thought I would update people I'm outside DSM and they have shut the queue and said they are not selling anymore watches so don't know what's going on there

Because it was quite obviously full of the same scalpers day after day! The security guards I spoke to there said as much.

Perhaps the residents and shopkeepers of Mayfair were starting to take issue with a bunch of scruffy looking people cluttering up their street? When I queued there (unsuccessfully) I got a number of snide comments from passers by in their sharp suits.
 
Any chance UK Mail will deliver before their assigned timeslot? They've given me a 12.23-1.23 slot but I need to be out go the house by 12.30, really hoping they can get it here for 11ish, any chance of that?
