I'm having a UPS nightmare. They tried to deliver it at 12 o clock when I was at work, now they are holding it at a UPS facility in another city! Do they really expect me to drive all that way to get my apple watch?
 
My watch arrived at Shanghai 11.44pm local time last night and it supposedly hasn't departed yet. It's 4pm local time there as I type this (9am GMT) so hopefully it will move soon and won't be sat there for over 24hours. Anybody been flight tracking China to UK UPS flights? Are they daily?

Mine was delivered yesterday but I was at work. According to ups app it was rescheduled for today and it says it's on its way. They should do the same for you.
 
Ordered mine, originally on 31st May then realised that I had put in my old card details and re-ordered on June 1st (last Monday), with my new card details. Space Grey with Black Sports Band. Having been watching these forums and seeing order dates up into the 20's of May, I started to get my hopes up. My original delivery was for 2-3 weeks and delivers on 22nd - 26th June. Last Monday or Tuesday that shortened to ships in 9-11 business days for delivery 17th - 19th.

Anyway, I have come to the conclusion that us later orderers probably have the actual dates that things will happen now and things won't move any faster for us.

Mine hasn't changed and I ordered on the 13th May!
I've no idea how apple are managing the deliveries, I think it's pot luck when yours will come!!

Yeah it's just that I'm not at home at the time they try to deliver it, I just wish they could give it to my local post office and then that they could require my id for me to get it.. Why make things so difficult. I'm sure they will send it back to apple before I can get it as delivery goes in 3 attempts..

Ahh fair enough. Yeah that's a total ball ache. Yeah I don't know why apple can't treat it like any other normal delivery and take it to your local post office or leave with a neighbour etc. it's like mine would go back to Preston and would have to go on a right adventure to get it. Could you not ask someone to chill at yours till it comes like a family member or friend?

I've ordered the same watch (Space Grey with Black Sports Band) on the 30th of May. I have the same shipping estimates as you. I have a small hope that maybe we will get the watch shipped this week.

Nice suggestion :) I admit it's a complicated matter. Me not knowing when my apple watch would arrive, ordered it (i'm gullible) sometime in april and by the time it came to my address I was on vacation in Norway! LOL...! So I put it in my mother in laws name for her address, and now the package shows up at her door when she's at work. I wanna complain to apple support for this but I have phone anxiety, LOL. So what to do. Now I have to ask her to drive 80 km for me. She's gonna love me when I come back. And then when I try to talk to UPS about it they either don't respond or give me very automated robotic response e-mails.
 
guys, could any of you tell me where the factory FH is? i cannot find it anywhere? mine has just dispatched from there according to chipmunk.

Mine watch is probably from exact batch as yours. All the times are same and still in Shanghai...

I dont think they send watches from US anymore. As all of people from recent shipping wave are receiving their watches directly from China.
