Order Thread for UK (BST)

Order has improved to 4-6 weeks. Yet delivery date estimate is the same (the later date has become one day earlier).

Mine did that yesterday as well, however, after seeing other posts last night, I went to edit my delivery address, didn't change anything, then clicked update, my later date shortened to the 3rd July from the 8th!!
Fingers crossed we see more movement in the dates soon!

I got 5 days earlier.

Weirdly, when I tried updating my address on the order (to prompt the delivery estimate refresh) on the confirmation emails my second order shows a shipping date range but my original order just shows "by Standard Shipping" with no date range.

Here's what I mean...

I'm not sure that 'trick' actually helps you get your Watch any faster. It sounds like some sort of glitch with the estimates system.

Odd. Like I said to someone else, I don't believe the address edit 'trick' actually improves your delivery time. It just wouldn't be as easy as that. I think there's just a glitch in the estimates system which is triggered by you refreshing your delivery address. Probably not gonna try this in case it messes something up permanently.
 
Guys if any of you are in London then it's well worth a trip to Dover Street Market. I was in London yesterday with work I popped there at Lunch and explained that I was only in London for the day and I didn't have an appointment but was there anything they can do. The guy was really helpful and went off to ask his manager. He came back and said they had a cancellation and they could fit me in at 5:40! Asked about stock and they said they had loads but when I went back at 5:40 they had run out of the one I wanted. They only had 7 42mm watches left and I cant remember which ones. I think they said they had almost every 38mm watch in stock!

Guess I'll have to stick with my 22nd - 29th June delivery!

No I'm pretty sure it has no effect on the actual delivery time (still hoping it'll be here sooner) but for my sanity, it made me feel better. Gained five days..! Go me. Whohoo. :eek:
 
How long from PFD to Dispatched nowadays?

Anyone who had delivery in the last few weeks care to comment on how long it takes from going PFD to dispatched? It seems that around early May the chain was PFD around 4pm and then dispatched around 11pm and then delivery the next day.

However mine went PFD at 4pm yesterday so fully expected to be dispatched when I woke up this morning. Pretty surprised to see when I woke up this morning that still was PFD! Are they slowing down on dispatching?

If it gets dispatched today does that mean won't come till Tuesday? :confused:
 
Thought I'd chime in after receiving the good news! # been lurking here for weeks

My 10th April 12:15 UK order of 42mm SS BLL went to P4S yesterday at about 12:20pm then to DISPATCHED at around 6pm. Original estimate was 12-26th may so getting it at the end of this window. Finally, the wait is over!

Currently, it's out for delivery with TNT.

Can't wait! # good luck to everyone!
 
My 2 May order for SG BSB and Sport WSB has moved up a week to 22 June shipping

But I received an Apple email last night that said 'we're ready to dispatch your order, but we couldn't authorise your card'. Does this mean they're really ready to dispatch (seems at odds with stated shipping dates) or just that they were trying to take payment (which seems early in relation to the shipping date)?

PS. order still says Processing.

Confused and frustrated....but not nearly as frustrated as you guys who ordered on 10 April and still waiting.....
 
I honestly STILL can't believe we are hearing that people ordered on the 10th are JUST receiving PFD notifications

This release has been the worst EVER !!!!

Yeah I was thinking this but would be a 4hr round trip for me and to be told there is nothing I could get would be a waste of money!

Oh yeah, I don't think we're jumping the queue. What I think IS happening is that we're just triggering an order update that is queued to perhaps be updated by a batch update at a later date. We'll never know for sure though!

On the Space Black watches were only up to orders from around 08:10 at this point. :(

I ordered at 08:32 and just have 'June' as an estimate!

You have to do the double tap home and swipe up to close. Then open the app again. Mine worked after that. There is also an option on the account page to enable TouchID.

Yup, me. Ordered 9th May. Expected June 25th - July 8th.
42mm SS BSB

I'm not expecting mine for a while, but it's 4 weeks today since launch, so do we think we'll see a big push from Apple today?
Click to expand...

Me too. I can't understand why people who order their watches at the apple online store, have to wait weeks or months, and anybody can go to dover street market and get one (they have the most popular models too) in less than 24 hours. It's a bad step from apple. They shoud take care better of their customers.
 
DSM - no 42 SG BSB in stock today.
An hour or so wasted for me, and a few more pounds off my Oyster card.
Ordered 11 April / 42 SG BSB / PROCESSING / 22 Jun delivery est.
