Order Thread for UK (BST)

Dear all,

Just to let you know I was able to reserve a 42mm Space Grey Sport in London Regent Street and will be picking it up in a few hours. They seemed to have quite a few in stock.

Cancelled my online order now. Maybe worth it for people who are stuck on processing.

I ordered on June 4th, I was expecting it to charge my card last week as orders seemed to be moving fast, but like I said before I bet they were gathering as much stock in the UK as they could to fill online orders direct from the UK and also supply the stores for collection.

Stores have them in stock now. Online reserve and pickup!

I can't do that now as my card has been charged and Apple said they can't do anything with my order now as its preparing to dispatch :( can't afford to go and buy another then return the delivered one at a later date really. At least I know it'll be here by next week at the latest (I hope!!)

Finally been marked as Dispatched, delivery for Friday...when I'm not home :( UKMail tracking number isn't working so I can't even amend it if need be.

When did yours go PFS? Mine changed at some point last night and card has been charged but hasn't been dispatched yet

It went into PFS early yesterday or late the night before, not sure which. Switched to Dispatched around an hour or so ago...not sure why yours seems to be taking so long.

The site also says est. delivery is Friday but the email says tomorrow so not sure which to believe, this is a very long waiting game :(

So mine will probably dispatch tomorrow now then. I feel more impatient now that I know I could go and collect it in store lol. It seems like yours will be dispatched from the UK if they expect delivery by tomorrow?

Hopefully, you never know, it might change in the next couple of hours...I guess it's all dependent on the availability now they have stock to sell in store.

According to Syncreon, it's in Hinckley with no other details of it visiting many countries along the way so I'd assume so!

I'm the same as you - I could go and pick one up from the Apple Store, but my card's been charged and my order is stuck at Preparing for Dispatch. It doesn't make it any easier that my Wife's and Daughter's have just been delivered :)

I ordered a 42mm Milanese Loop (band only), to replace my black sport band for more formal events.
I ordered the band on May 3rd and it has just changed status to preparing for shipment. Hopefully will arrive in the next few days.

Could you not go and get one and just send one of them back? ;)
 
Just picked up my 42MM SG BSB at the store in Buchanan St, Glasgow and cancelled my online order that wasn't due for another 2 weeks. :)
 
Placed an order for 38mm space grey black sport band watch on 15th, just got dispatched today, estimated to be delivered on 19th, though I'm hoping it's going to arrive here tomorrow.

Anyone who got theirs dispatched and have it delivered on the next day?

Today, I think? Apple charges you when the item is dispatched correct? If so, then today, status was 'processing' when I checked this morning, and 'dispatched' when I checked again about half an hour ago.

I paid with PayPal, there's a small delay when I pay with PP, my card don't get charged until couple of days later.

My wife did - went to "Preparing for Dispatch" yesterday afternoon, "Dispatched" last night and delivered this morning

is it delivered by royal mail or ukmail?

Neither - UPS delivered them

I've just spoken with Apple as my order is still "Preparing for Dispatch" and was told my watch is coming from China, not the UK

Not very happy now - I can't cancel the order as it's Preparing for Dispatch and It's going to be another week or so before I get it. They did say they can refund and stop delivery once it goes to Dispatched but if they do that, I've got to wait for the refund and then hope I can find stock in store. Really don't know what to do for the best now :(

If you have some spare moolah, I'd say go the refund route once it's available to you, and go grab a watch from a store (if you can). Don't prolong the misery or wait!
