Order Thread for UK (BST)

mine updated last night to say 9-11 business days like many others. Ordered 19 May. Its nice to see an update but all that means is they are confirming a June 17 to 23 delivery which is what it said before - just a different form of words. I'm now resigned to thinking that nothing is going to speed up from here on in...

Surely though with the planes its just a case of watch orders that are already PFS or better that will be affected? Or does it mean that those us still in processing might get moved up too?

Apparently it can change from processing straight to dispatched, that's what I've been told on here recently, which I found to be quite surprising

Oh no, now you are getting my hopes up. I am trying to resist refreshing the order page but not doing very well - I'm at about twice an hour right now.
 
Anyone know what it means when it says Delivery in 9-11 business days. When is that counting from? It updated yesterday but if I hadn't checked for 3 days that would still show up and you've no idea when the timeframe starts from!
 
I'm thinking of ordering a SS 38mm with black sport band - it's saying 5-7 business days for delivery; has anyone experienced quicker delivery times for this recently?

The 9-11 business days will start from day it changed (eg yesterday)

If you count 9-11 business days you will fall into your delivery date of 18-22 June.

I know what you mean if you check in a week time and it still says 9-11 business days, your delivery date will still say same so you would still be close to your delivery date. I know it doesnt make sense at all lol!!

But im still positive dates will change again!! From 9-11 to something closer.
 
I'm at 7-10 business days as of yesterday so 6-9 to go. My delivery is showing 10-15 June. I'm taking both with a pinch of salt and expecting delivery later this week or early next week

Oh next incoming flight is leaving at 1 so watch your orders again :)

Those are shipping fast! Order now and you'll likely get it by the middle of next week. If not Monday/Tuesday.
 
There was a ruby script posted a few weeks ago that would periodically check your order and output the result to the terminal. I modified the script, made it executable and bung it in a geektools geeklet and told it to refresh every 60 seconds.

If you want to do the same, make a .rb file with the following contents:

Code: 
require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'

a = Mechanize.new
a.user_agent_alias = 'Mac Safari'
url = 'http://store.apple.com/go/uk/vieworder/<order_number>/<email_address>/'


def delivery?(page)
  delivery = page.search('.h5 > .block')
  if !delivery.empty?
    return delivery[0].text.strip.gsub(/\s+/, ' ')
  else
    return page.search('span.h5').text.strip.gsub(/\s+/, ' ')
  end
end

page = a.get(url) rescue nil
if page
  status = page.search('.h3 .strong')[0].text
  puts "#{Time.now.strftime('%H:%M:%S')} - #{status} - #{delivery?(page)}"
else
  puts "#{Time.now.strftime('%H:%M:%S')} - Unable to contact Apple Store"
end

Make it executable using chmod +x <file> in terminal.

Create a shell script geeklet and point it to this file. For example:

ruby ~/Documents/watch-check-geeklet.rb

You can use any duration you wish for the refresh. You should end up with something like this:

I have the output at the bottom right corner of my screen. Saves me having to manually check :)

Edit: I should mention that you'll need to install the Mechanize gem by running the command

gem install mechanize

This is assuming you have Ruby installed and Ruby Gems.
 
I ordered 42mm Blue Apple Watch Sport with an extra Black Sports Band on the 21st May. At the time of ordering, the delivery estimate for the band was showing up as 1-9th June and for the Watch as 28 - 4th July. But I got both my Watch and Extra Band on 1st June ... :)
