Out for delivery by UPS
My order is out for delivery expected by the end of the day. I have to work and can't get the day off. Can't see a way to get a more specific delivery time. Any ideas?

My 42 SS Milanese despatched yesterday evening - UPS - but not delivered till Monday ( 11th ) 
No such thing as over night delivery when you live north of Aberdeen - unless sent by Royal Mail, none of the couriers can ever do it next day !!!
HarryT - thank you for all your work on s/ sheet and keeping us informed on your calls with Apple ! Have tried to update my details on the S/sheet but can't manage to change it - prob my lack of knowledge with Googledocs
Have only posted here 3/4 times but have been an avid reader of this thread so thanks to all for the company over the past couple of weeks
May everyone get theirs very very soon

Woo hoo! Mine is out for delivery today by UPS. Paranoid now that my door bell will fail or something. It's been loaded at UPS Tamworth which is their main UK hub. I'm assuming that if I miss delivery it will go back to Tamworth? They have depots in Nuneaton and Coventry which are much nearer to me for collection but in the past stuff has ended up back at Tamworth which means a 70 mile round trip to collect.
UPS seem to give an "all day" time slot as well which doesn't help.

Have updated your details! Good luck and hope you get it Monday
Do check back in every now and then... I think the launch of the Apple Watch has made this forum realise just how many Apple fans there are out there. It's a joy to talk to you all so let's keep it up in the future
Apple tried to charge me yesterday but because of what I believe was fraud detection, it didn't go through. I was told to give the fraud department a call today so I did that this morning, they cleared it and now I can see that my card has been charged. The £519 is reserved on my card.
Can I expect a PFD or more today?

UKMail
UKMail have had some bad feedback here. Here is a sumary of my expereince:
I live in a block of flats with access restructions, so two deliveries have come and I missed them. I rang the call centre and they told me they'd contact the driver to redeliver with my acces instruction and get back to me.
Both days the driver re attempted delivery (on the day) and was successfull, they even returned my call to let me know what was going on.
They have been fantastic, very impressed.
PS: I LOVE my Milanese and Sport! It rocks!

Sod it, Im going to keep the watch that arrives today with the sport band and just order a modern buckle or different one when they become available, I already have a Milanese loop strap on order so hopefully it will arrive today and I will be an apple watch owner finally.
Harryt & Jrobert - Many thanks for the spreadsheet work.
I will still drop in on here to see how you are all getting on.

Thanks for your support too! We wouldn't have carried on with the spreadsheet if no one was interested in it!
Congrats again and hope you enjoy it! Hopefully the rest of us see movement today too!
Not sure I'll get my SS Milanese Loop next week. Ordered pretty late on the 10th at 11:53.
Apple seems to be still just shipping orders from 08:XX.
Then again Tim Cook said they were aiming for the early part of the delivery estimate so maybe he does have this!
Poor LD by btw.

Thankfully I sent mine to my office so that it comes straight to me
Mine is out for delivery via TNT, est. is between 9am-6pm which is helpful haha

How did you get a delivery slot time?
I assume he's just being ironic, as a 9am-6pm doesn't seem like a delivery slot time, more like a delivery day
On another note, I would like to thank HarryT and jrobert again for all the hard work that has been put into the spreadsheet and the quick response time in updating it. It's a work of art, really
Roll on delivery now, can't wait! I'll post photos and thoughts after I get it today
@SimonCarbon beat me to it

Thanks HarryT.... Form completed.... Thanks for guidance... Here's hoping 42mm hit the shores soon !!
Oh what do I do today? The SS BSB is going to be delivered today but I only ordered this in frustration at waiting for the modern buckle which is still in processing.
Am I going to be able to resist a watch in hand or keep on waiting for the one I really want. I am just so concerned that no modern buckles have been despatched.
What shall I do folks???????
I'd take it if your still contemplating!
Ordered on Apple.con Tuesday, delivery today (Friday)
I gave up on Dover street market and eBay scalpers. I went online Tuesday evening and ordered directly from Apple. It said June delivery estimated. Yesterday I got the email saying it was dispatched for delivery today Friday! How strange...

I'm going to now. At least I will only have to wait for a strap then and will have my watch in the meantime.
I have ordered a Milanese strap instead as god knows when the modern buckle will be available.
